LittleBigPlanet is the new MySpace: interface, concept art, and screens

Posted May 18, 2007 at 4:42PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3 Tags: LittleBigPlanet, Media Molecule, MySpace, Sony, Super Mario

Nope. That's not the new interface of MySpace. Neither is it a FaceBook theme. It's the GUI of the sandbox-like-whoa title from Media Molecule and Sony, LittleBigPlanet. As much as the in-game screens are interesting, the menu system and interface look just as playful. The screen above shows the "friends." tab of the menu - it allows you to view the friends you've got on your network. From here, you can also see other tabs that hint at other features like viewing your own profile, checking your inbox, and shopping!

Now, the customizability option supported by LittleBigPlanet is what's getting a lot of gamers excited for the game. Two days ago, for example, DGR (Unregistered) had commented in a previous article:

Â» customizeing you say? // well dam, now i wish they didnt show the preview...this is going to be a long wait....btw this game has everything i want in a game...those are customizing, online, and of course, MORE customizing. lol

Couldn't have put it any better. And to showcase the true power of how open and varied the options of customizing your LBP avatars are, here's some concept art of how the devs envision how your creativity can make it onto your character. Now would you look at that. Character creation inspiration from Katamari, Lilo & Stitch, and even Super Mario Bros.

# thankyou qj and gino.D — darkgeekrocker 2007-05-17 13:37

with one of my post being used in a article, it inspired me to register, and to stop useing weird names on post (fuzzyrubberpic le for example) and if you havent figured it out yet i am DGR...which is short for my user name lol or could be knowen as "dead guy running" in a few choice online FPS...so next time your about to snipe a guy running away just call my name "DGR" right before the shot.

AND thanks for registering. we appreciate the support! ^_^V (i'll be looking for you in the FPS arena then)

# Berries and cream — Guest 2007-05-18 09:42

Yes, this is the real little lad from the infamous berries and cream starburst commercial. When I was a little lad, and I wanted berries and cream, mummy used to make me do the berries and cream dance. Now, mummy's gone. Nevertheless, I still do the berries and cream dance whenever I hear or see berries and cream starbursts. So, as a special treat on this comment, I will now do the dance for all of you! You look lovely!

"Berries and cream, berries and cream, I'm a little lad who loves berrriiieess aanndd cccrrrreeeaaamm !"

# Is that... — Wyrm 2007-05-18 12:54
