No, LittleBigPlanet 2 isn't in development

PS3Hype writes: 'Today the news that LittleBigPlanet 2 is in development goes all around the world. But actually this is a big mistake. Yes Folkerd Langeveld said LittleBigPlanet 2, but didn't Media Molecule stated that they won't make a new LittleBigPlanet (sequel). And didn't Sony confirmed that LittleBigPlanet (1) will support the PlayStation Move. The man who was interviewed said LittleBigPlanet 2 but actually this all goes about the original LittleBigPlanet which will receive a patch'.

If LBP1 is constantly being updated by the devs AND the community, then I see no reason for a LBP2 any time soon.

Thank you Media Molecule for such an amazing game :)

AngryFork5165d ago

I disagree. You can't update coding. I love the game but the lag is atrocious whenever anyone has a less than perfect connection. The game is extremely fun online when everything is working right, but the lag has always been there. The only way to fix that is in a sequel.

I really hope there's a sequel just so they could fix that, as well as add some more gameplay mechanics that they can't add through patches. I'd be there day one.

Redempteur5165d ago

i disagree about your disagree the code for network was already improved twice since the initial release ...

you should play LBP before saying that the code hasn't improved

Christopher5165d ago (Edited 5165d ago )

Actually, that's not true. It more than likely wouldn't require more than 400MB of a download to download code that would rewrite much of the whole game let alone improve online performance. You're not modifying graphics, you're modifying the manner in which they're being managed when playing online.

jaysquared5165d ago

This is what happens when games don't sell as expected.. Remember before this game came out all the PS3 fans was calling the next youtube putting a bunch of hype in and ends up flopping in sales.. If this game would've sold 5 million you know they would've hurry up and developed the 2nd one.. Sales don't matter huh PS3 fans?

ChozenWoan5165d ago

So it's doing rather well sells wise. Not to mention it's already sold over 3 million copies, and continues to sale as more PS3 hit the market.

LBP has some of the longest legs I've ever seen in a game and I doubt we will see LBP2 until the PS4 hits. That is likely when it will go 3D so gamers can make their own Rachet&Clank type game levels. In the mean time, there is plenty of DLC and new features that could make LBP even more fun and challenging.

ico925165d ago

Little Big Planet isnt just my personaly favourite game this gen its one of my all time favourites, so im a little sad to hear that there won't be a sequal yet glad that the community will remain intact because of this.

Hmm.. Ive read the dutch source. No additional information is provided. This websites looks back at earlier comments from Media Molecule and finds that its contradictive to what Folkert states in the video, which was submitted earlier today.

The 'news' that LBP2 is not in development is not news, but the opinion of the editor of the newspiece, who chooses to believe old Media Molecule statements over the video. This does not come from Sony, its not a MM/Sony reaction to the reports from earlier today.

Anyone can believe whatever he likes, but this is by no means 'news'. Cant believe it got 5 approvals.

Barbapapa5165d ago

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

Welshy744d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic744d ago (Edited 744d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils744d ago (Edited 744d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic744d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

An update on the LittleBigPlanet server and online services

Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.

darthv72972d ago

It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.

Snookies12972d ago

Whaaa-? That's crazy. Didn't expect it to be permanently shut down...

Teflon02972d ago

It's still up on PS4, they just shut down the PS3 end because hackers on PS3 can't be stopped and go on the game making announcements that can't be avoided without having to go back to all the old game codes and updating to remove the feature etc. It's one of those sad and garbage things where hackers ruined a good thing. I'm mostly sad about the Vita, I'm not sure if I have my music stages saved to my Vita, meaning they're gone forever if I didn't save them back to it. They were good too :(

Profchaos972d ago (Edited 972d ago )

Have to say I expected them to be permanently shut down problem would be in the underlying server architecture and possibly something like a depricated authentication protocol which has to be replaced that the PS3, PSP and vita can't support which is why they can't be securely restored on those consoles but the PS4 does support it.so lbp3 was restored on that.

Given the attackers were able to breach the server there was obviously a fear of lateral movement once inside their servers so I can't blame them for this and it makes sense despite the huge blow to the community millions of hours spent building that community.

Despite this blow I believe the millions of creations are going to be available via lbp3 and it's capability of backwards compatibility with user generated content so that's something to be thankful for still not a huge consolation to the many players who only own a older console but unfortunately that's the world we live in these games are old the older they get the more insecure the servers get which the company that make them.host them on and the more likely they need to be shut down.

MadLad972d ago (Edited 972d ago )

Feel bad for the people who dedicated so much time into this game.

Battlestar23972d ago

Nice edit to your troll comment.

MadLad972d ago (Edited 972d ago )

I reread the article, and changed it, to be as honest on the topic as possible.
Let's be real, it was an easy reaction to have considering their actions of late.

I am also sorry people enjoyed the online aspects of the game?

The man who earned a job by playing LittleBigPlanet
By GamesRadar Staff March 03, 2015
***“We've hired four people from the LBP community" reveals Alex Evans, co-founder of UK studio Media Molecule and creator of LittleBigPlanet. Including one lucky soul who dodged death to get a job on LBP2. Enter John Beech, or 'johnee' to his PSN friends. Two years ago John was a builder with absolutely no qualifications to speak of. But now? He's a full time designer at Media Molecule working on LittleBigPlanet 2, one of the most anticipated titles on PlayStation 3. This is his story.***

of course there is.. He was stealth trolling stating all LBP contributors wasted their time making levels for LBP... I pointed out that some of the contributors for LBP + Dreams have actually got JOBs because of the CREATIVE console. Just like Gran Turismo fans

Understandable they had to do this better to be safe then sorry. I just wish those right wing racists that hacked the servers and started posting homophobic slurs would get want they deserve a good few decades in prison.

That's the thing I guess if it wasn't them it would just be someone else and we would still be in this position regardless of their intent.
