So it was two months ago when Sony acquired Media Molecule, removing almost any hope of seeing LittleBigPlanet 2 on the 360 and immediately prompting us to consider what, potentially, the 360 might have lost. Because suddenly the whole concept of “Play, Create, Share” appealed much more to us.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
The 360 has the answer for LBP.
It's called Kodu, anyone remember how it was hyped when first LBP was around the corner?
im not sure they'd allow such creativity to bounce around for free. Look what happened to unreal tournament... One of its main features removed because either ms is worried about the content 'some' may put up or because they know they'd have to pay for the upkeep without getting payment from whoever creates/downloads/uploads...pe rsonally i think its a bit of both...why do it for free when they KNOW they can charge xbl users.
Its that simple. Does that mean the 360 sucks? No. I own one and its nice to have for exclusive games. Sonys platform along w/ a massive 1st party team that communicates and shares tech it a godsend of a combo to have for creating amazing experiences, like LBP/LBP2. It your a fan of gaming, you have to own a ps3 at this point especially w/ it being priced at 299.
whatever happened to that game MS ripped LBP look from? was it supposed to be the xbox LBP? i cant quite remember what it was...
