LittleBigPlanet is a hard act to follow. Media Molecule has been tasked with not only creating a new game that can match the same charm of their revolutionary platformer, but also craft an experience that takes full advantage of Vita's unique capabilities. With Tearaway, it looks like they'll make good on accomplishing both these lofty challenges.

In the world of Tearaway, you are a god. And we're not talking about the character that you control in the game. You, the player, are a god that the denizens of this papercraft world look upon. In fact, you can snap a picture of yourself at the game's beginning to cement your godly position.

After spending years on the LittleBigPlanet franchise, Media Molecule has revealed their next brand new IP: Tearaway, a paper world where you can help the hero Iota just by touching the back of your Vita.

Media Molecule co-founder Alex Evan announced the title at Sony's press conference at Gamescom. Using the Vita's touch capabilities, a player can tap the backside of the Vita to get Iota to jump, or maintain contact to push fingers into the game world to destroy enemies. To be honest, it sounds a lot like Little Deviants, a Vita launch game.
