LittleBigPlanet planning lip-synching voice chat, filters

PS3Fanboy reports that just when you thought you knew everything you could about Media Molecule's upcoming world-creator game LittleBigPlanet, we find something else that blows our minds and makes us anticipate the title even more. In the latest Edge magazine, it's been revealed that in addition to the emotions and such your sackboy (and sackgirl) can perform, there are plans to lip-synch voice chat. That is to say, the characters will move their mouths in roughly the same way you do (even if not, it's still cool). Down the line, expect stuff like voice filters, too.

very very creative. Rainbow 6 vegas had that though. LBP will be a great game from the looks of it. PS3 is set to go in 2008. Last yr ps3 owners were saying just wait till this and just wait till that 360 owners laughed with wait beyond and comments such as this. And so we waited guess they thought ps3 would die befor its time came lol.

no i think it's an engine that moves the model's mouth in the corresponding way to the sound of every syllable in a word.

10 - Cool...
Just as long as they give you an option to mute players.

Nothing worse that an annoying player, that is there JUST to annoy you.

This would easily become one of their media's.

Other than that, it's an un-needed but very cool addition.
