Media Molecule: No sequel for LittleBigPlanet |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: LittleBigPlanet, Media Molecule, playstation 3 updates

Media Molecule has shot down the possibility of a sequel for LittleBigPlanet. In an interview with Critical Gamer, the devs shut the doors closed on an LBP 2, saying that a sequel would be "counterproductive."
Said level designer Danny Leaver, an LBP sequel would only serve to fragment the game's community. "WeÂ’d never want to do that. ThatÂ’d be the most counterproductive thing you could do I think."
Instead of a part 2, Media Molecule will continue to focus on DLC and updates for the game. "I think what youÂ’ve seen so far from LittleBigPlanet, thatÂ’s the way itÂ’s going to continue," said producer Martin Lynagh.
"We have a lot of stuff coming out, especially next year. We canÂ’t really talk about specifics for a lot of it at the moment, because a lot of it hasnÂ’t been announced," Lynagh revealed.
Good news, that, seeing as how Media Molecule's post-launch support for the game has been quite impressive.

also adding water dynamics is normally considered engine modification unless it was previous created and only being implemented now
theres no real definition for an engine

It is not impossible to change an engine once it's been made. Most bug fixes are the developers replacing some part of the engine that was not working properly.....same with control tweaks etc....
Just not sure what you would want changed ? It's all pretty good...

So, yeah, the costume updates are useless, but there have been a fair amount of actual game-affecting add-ons, too. Just wish they'd hurry up and release the water update.

People are so quick to boycott a game for ridiculous. Big deal, they released something too big for DLC and instead made it a sequel. Valve has been supporting their games through DLC for years. They're still going to support L4D1 with updates and maps. I honestly do not understand why people go to such lengths to sign ridiculous petitions.
I think developers should actually learn from Media Modecule and Valve.
The reason why LittleBigPlanet would not work as a sequel is cause it's a user created game. Making a sequel would involve too much expectation and changes. Either the fans expect alot and if they don't deliver it, they'll be disappointed and upset. If MM change too much in a sequel same ending; Disappointed and Upset. It's a lose lose situation that's why it's counterproducti ve.
This isn't even counting PSP LBP, so to make a sequel they'd need to be supporting 3 games. It's quite difficult. 2 games are much more manageable. Not only that, they spend less money and gain potentially more money in the long run. It's a very smart business move.
PC developers has been doing this for while.

Lmao, they make one okay game (which granted spawned a few good mods masquerading as full new games) and they are the greatest??
Valve are extremely over-rated.
