LittleBigPlanet PSP May Be in Consideration

4
Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet might be getting a LittleBitAmbitious, as a pair of hints point the way to a PSP version in the future.

"There's definitely scope for a PSP version," said Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healy to Eurogamer TV in an interview being aired next week. "We've had discussions and talks, [but] nothing concrete at the moment."

Healy let slip a few ideas he has for the game--if it were to be made. "It'd be great to make, for the people who are really into the Create side, some kind of companion products that allow you to create things while you're on the train," he mused. "One thing that I'd love to add is the ability to create your own music, for example, that you can import into the game. That seems like an obvious one to do and it'd be quite easy really."

Healy added that such a version would be handled outside Media Molecule "because we're very keen to keep this very tight core of people."

Conspiracy theorists, then, would get a kick out of a Sony job listing for a pair of PSP programmers "to work on the development of exciting new LittleBigPlanet projects." Sony publishes the customizable platformer, which is due out for PlayStation 3 on October 21.

    I'm sorry, what?
    Little Big Planet is too "complex" for Xbox 360 development, yet they are considering PSP development? Explain to me how THAT works.

      I'm guessing they were addressing Sony's more open position when it comes to user created content.

        I know Sony is a lot more open then Sony, but didn't Halo also allow user-created maps? How did that work?

          As I understand it, Halo allowed users to change certain aspects of maps, including an open map where you could place large crates. It wasn't as open as say Unreal Tournament, but the precedent is certainly there.

      I think "complex" just means "published by Sony." :)
