SCEE: LittleBigPlanet Delayed, Not Coming Until October
LittleBigPlanet will be hitting in October, not September as originally announced, SCEE folks said today during their Sony Playstation Day in London.
Kaz Hirai told a gathering of press that the game will revolutionize the way people interact with games. Hirai also said that Sony Europe has sold 12 million PSPs, 48 million PS2s and 5 million PS3s and apologized for the delay of Home which he says will not launch until he's happy with it. More news to come as the Gamers Day continues.

rumor
Citing "sources", British site CVG are reporting that a PSP version of Sony's free-form platformer LittleBigPlanet is currently in development at Sony Studio Liverpool. Sony are obviously keeping quiet on the subject, but with the PS3 and PSP growing more and more interconnected via things like remote play, the possibility of a portable version of LBP that could "talk" to a PS3 version of the game isn't the most outrageous rumour I've heard this week.

LittleBigPlanet Nears Alpha
The Media Molecule folks updated their blog yesterday from Mm Towers (I wonder if that's what I can see from the top of our parapet?). They say that they've been working hard on LittleBigPlanet pushing it toward Alpha. Toward mind you, as in it's not quite there yet.
Basically this means all the cool stuff we said will be in there should be playable, even if it isn't pretty enough to release. The game seems to change every day at the moment and it is very exciting to be able to sit down and play what feels more and more like a complete experience.
Shoot that sounds like it's too far out for my tastes, which is like now.

New LittleBigPlanet Screens Arrrrrrr Just Fantastic
Another day, another batch of LittleBigPlanet screens that make us long for a fast forward button on the office calendar. We could go on and on about how pretty and fun and charming and desirable it looks, but that would just slow you down from looking at 15 new shots of the PlayStation 3 game. Say, is that the first time we've seen someone's imported photo in LittleBigPlanet or have I wiped away those memories with one too many Mai Tais?

LittleBigPlanet Might Just Be Sony's Biggest Game Of 2008
Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, whatever. They're sideshows. Distractions. No, for Sony, the year's biggest game on the PS3 might just be LittleBigPlanet, with an SCEE rep saying it's "potentially our biggest Blu-ray release of 2008". That announcement was partly to let us know Sony are just psyched about the game, but also to say they're a lot more psyched about it than they were about those good-for-nothing PSN games. "This isn't a Warhawk or a Tekken: Dark Resurrection. This is a triple-A Blu-ray title". There there, Warhawk. I'm sure he didn't mean to be so...mean.LittleBigPlanet: Sony's "Biggest" 08 Game [Eurogamer]

Media Molecule Gets Real Sackboy, Just Like Mom Used To Make
The gang at Media Molecule may be growing a bit tired of looking at all those Sackboys in LittleBigPlanet, but their mothers sure aren't. One team member's mum knitted a stitch-perfect fabric recreation of the game's blank avatar, even taking the time to deck out the little cloth boy with a pair of star-shaped antennae. This is expert level stuff, the kind of thing we expect to be within mass production by the end of year (hint!).
She then went the extra mile, recreating the Sackboy's Chinese dragon costume for the Media Molecule team members that like to play dress up with their dolls. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Two More LittleBigPlanet Videos
I just can't get enough of these LittleBigPlanet play videos. This first one shows off the addition of in-game death in a lava pit level. The second video, on the jump, shows how easy it is to make a level of mountains and buildings. It really is amazing and makes me itchy to play the game and start creating stuff.

Media Molecule team members are currently on stage at CES, showing off the "play, create, share" title LittleBigPlanet to conventioneers and business types. The team just showed off a new pre-built level for the first time, one that introduces player death and respawn points to the DIY platformer. One of the new materials, under the "terribles" group, is a steaming hot magma rock, one that kills on contact. Sackboys who've been killed off can return later, courtesy of respawn portals. This adds a bit more of a competitive element to the game, as those still alive can secure unclaimed Fluff. At the end of the level, the LittleBigPlanet player with the most Fluff wins, naturally. Score results are shown on a TV with cute retro styling.

LittleBigPlanet Updated Impressions From CES
One of the two playable games at Sony's CES booth this year was the "play, create, share" showpiece LittleBigPlanet piloted by producer Leo Cubbin. While the pre-built levels on hand were familiar to those of us who played the game at Games Convention and Tokyo Game Show, the editor has seen a few changes, with new materials, backgrounds and stickers plus an update to the level editor interface that sees less screen real estate.
While the game is still pre-alpha, with an Autumn release date planned—they wouldn't commit to September, specifically—there's a surprising amount of content to play around with, far more so than in previous builds.

Rumor: LittleBigPlanet Hits in September
Eurogamer has a source telling them that LIttleBigPlanet will be hitting shalves in September, according to a post that went up this morning.
The article doesn't really get into details, actually it doesn't get into any detail only pointing out that the source is within Sony and that official spokespeople refused to comment. When I hit up our local SCEA flak for word on whether to believe this sorta depressing news I was given the old ""SCEA does not comment on rumor and/or speculation."
So retain the salt and the skepticism. Let's hope we get more official details come this GDC.

The Street Picks 2008's Biggest Money Makers
For anyone looking to make a bit of dough from day trading or, say, long-term investment in THQ, you may want to take a look at The Street's picks for the biggest video games of 2008. Profiled are many of the new year's money-grubbingest titles, many of which were originally scheduled to arrive in 2007. Picks include Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4, Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet, Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto IV, THQ's Saints Row 2, Nintendo's Wii Fit and EA's Spore, nearly all sure things for big, big sales and arguable "killer app" labels.
Oddly, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is overlooked for the Wii, a game whose success is all but guaranteed on the sales leading platform. A handful of 2008 potential candidates, Resident Evil 5 and Blizzard's possible offerings in Wrath of the Lich King and StarCraft II, also deserve attention.

LittleBigPlanet Demo Axed for 07
Stephen Totilo breaks the news that the promised LittleBigPlanet demo slated to hit the Playstation 3 this fall won't be making 2007 after all.
"I can officially confirm that there won't be a demo this year," Ron Eagle, senior manager of PR for Sony Computer Entertainment America told me. But he did say he's played 30 of the games 50 planned developer-made levels and that it's a lot of fun. He seemed genuinely pleased about his time with the game, but his company won't be showing more "LBP" at least until next month. Eagle could only add that the full game is set for a 2008 release.
I hope that by not showing more LBP until next month, Eagle really means to say that their will be a LBP demo hitting in early January. I hope, but I seriously doubt it. Too bad, I was really hoping to smack Totilo around some more in the game.

LittleBigPlanet Gets Pirate Themed
The latest trailer for Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet debuted during last night's Spike TV's 2007 Video Game Awards, giving many of its viewers a legitimate excuse for watching the thing. Fans of pirates and budding level designers take note—the clips shows off many of the new stickers, like seaweed and barnacles, plus gives hope for handmade mine cart racing levels. Knock you on your ass stuff.

Mark Rein Explains How UT III Wound Up On The PS3
Simply put, it's the ability to run (really run) user generated content. Gamasutra's Brandon Sheffield and Christian Nutt sat down with the Epic Games' mouthpiece to chat about all things Unreal—why Epic won't dedicate time to porting Unreal Engine 3 to Wii, why he's "very sensitive" about accusations that all UE3 games have a "look" and why the team decided to go to the PlayStation 3 for their latest shooter. Rein clears up some differences between user created content in Sony's LittleBigPlanet and Home which is decidedly non-"Wild West", almost anything goes when it comes to Unreal Tournament III mods.

Japan May Orbit Around LittleBigPlanet [nextgeneration]
LittleBigPlanet = PS3 Sales in Japan
Hot on the heels of TGS, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter strikes again! This time he has found the Holy Grail that will sell the necessary PS3s to back his investments/vacation homes/illegitimate children.
...we think that LittleBigPlanet will be a console seller in Japan.LittleBigPlanet is fairly amazing in person, with fun multiplayer and beautiful graphics. But will it move PS3s? Maybe Pachter isn't completely crazy this time. In our drunken TGS boozecast, the Kotaku crew talked about this very topic: Sony is doing incredible recruiting for original PSN titles...especially when you compare Everyday Shooter and LittleBigPlanet to mostly ported offerings on Microsoft's Live Arcade.

We had the opportunity to sit in on a LittleBigPlanet demo with Media Molecule creative director Mark Healey at Games Convention to get a quick update on how the PLAYSTATION 3 game is progressing. Unfortunately, the build on hand was from E3 '06 meaning there was little in the way of new features or content. Healey did tell us though that we can expect an improved version of the "create, play, share" software at Tokyo Game Show.
