If there's no other source to confirm this, I'm going to classify this as rumor.

Just wish we could get an on-the-go level editor...		2009-02-24 17:22:00

Oh well, at least the PSP isn't dead...

I'd take it with a grain of salt since Kotaku is pretty good at feeding the rumor mill ...

Not sure I'm happy about this. When they start having new levels and things specific for the PSP that are not on the PS3. 		2009-02-24 18:52:00

LBP on PSP needs exclusive content to maximize it's sales if they put them out on the PS3 at the same time people will just buy a DLC version and not the new game.		2009-02-24 19:01:00

PSP has done online multiplayer before in wipeout I think and create can be done on any system.


I must be totally weird and my brain might not be working right after work...but I don't have any interest in this right now. Don't shoot me!

Probably the lack of information currently available but I do feel the same, when you break it down to play create share play is the only part I could see working on a portable system, I can't see myself spending 2 weeks creating something on the psp and share is problematic as I only use the psp on holidays and there's rarely wifi available.


I think it's real, I just saw this on Little Big Planetoid.

It is real the info is from a sony retailer event called Destination PlayStation this isn't some berk on a forum making crazy claims.		2009-02-24 19:37:00

LBP on the PSP??

That's like SPORE on the DS. It looks terrible and is nothing like the original.

How could they reduce the requirements of LBP to a handheld console? I give it a chance of 1/100 that it looks anything near to good... 		2009-02-24 19:38:00

of course the graphics will be worse because PsP isnt HD and Ps3 is HD.
but it wont be like spore, DS have **** graphics for all games apart from cutscenes which are nothing like gameplay... i think this is great idea because then i can play on my psp at night or when my bro is on Ps3

well hope they do it...		2009-02-24 22:51:00

I'm not entirely sure how it would work, but I predict that we'll be reduced to 1 layer (with 2 thin layers in the foreground and background) and reduced material quality (due to the PSP's lack of pixel shaders). I wouldn't be too surprised if the game was less based on real world physics.

I'd probably still buy it, though, and maybe create a few levels for portable gamers.		2009-02-25 00:17:00

i think they will keep it 3 layers because otherwise your going to be dead alot on it and levels wont be to great, but still i am 100% sure im gnna get it2009-02-25 00:34:00

it won't be the same game. psp simply can't handle the physics engine.

also , i dunno if the create thing would be all that great. how long does it take you to create a level? a day? week? month?? can't see myself doing that on the train to work, in the airport or wherever you play.

having said that i'm very much looking forward to it. there's a chance that they will use less layers as a necessity and sackboy's jumps won't be physics based. since layer switching and loose controls put many players off, there's a good chance of this version being even more fun than it's big brother.		2009-02-25 01:31:00

I don't see how they can even think about a hand held version, when the PS3 version has so much need for improvement to begin with.

I'm not even going to bother to get my hopes up with this one.		2009-02-25 01:54:00

yeah, my guess is that sony don't want to stretch the small staff between continual work on ps3 version and building an entirely new game.

maybe it'll be totally different? would be cool if it was more geared towards making other types of games. shoot em ups, beat em ups, sports games etc all with the lbp feel.		2009-02-25 13:16:00

My take on how it should be handled:

Have a story mode like PS3 version. Plenty of levels and survival challenges. All new
Have 'share' include downloading levels from the PS3 game servers through the WiFi, so an infinite amount of levels to play with.
Don't include Create. I don't think many would sit down and build full levels like the PS3 version. I usually zoom out tons, and considering the size of the screen that won't really be possible. So it would be fiddly and awkward. That, or include a simplified version.		2009-02-25 15:12:00

2 things.

People are SEVERELY lacking imagination. LBP on PSP doesn't have to be the same game and if your head is stuck at the design of the PS3 one, of course it will not sound great.

Think outside of the box. LBP isn't the first platformer based on community and a level editor. There's also of editing community out there too and it's not only for 3D games.

I could EASILY envision a 2D platformer with Sackboys, LittleBigPlanet franchised and with an editor. I really wonder what's wrong with that. Per example, the community of Knytt Stories (and the game) is are simply AMAZING. And this game can run on some 1992 computer and is 2D.

Secondo, what the hell is the problem if another LBP game on another platform doesn't please you or isn't made like you would design it? How about not caring if it doesn't interest you? The game could be total valid fun for TONS of other people than you.

The latest from Sam Link (http://forums.littlebigworkshop.com/lbp/board/message?board.id=pod&message.id=40496#M40496)


Plenty of questions in this thread, but for the moment I'm going to have to answer them all with a general "there won't be any more news for a while". To stave off a comment I'm half expecting to see before too long, the PSP game is being developed by Sony's Cambridge studio who are working with Media Molecule to bring the game to PSP, so the development of this seperate game has no impact on the ongoing support of the PlayStation 3 version of LittleBigPlanet.

So it would seem that Sony is the one working on this little gem. So I guess all prior assumptions are off. Still doesn't mean it won't turn out to be any less of a mess. 		2009-02-25 18:17:00

well for one, obviously the processing unit in the PSP is not the same as PS3 but i supose with w/ a giant hack at the graphics or like you said in 2D it may balance out, i just figured they would be limited on what they could ad in.

but if its fully 2d you don't think they could do the layers but i'm sure they could figure out a way to incorporate them.

like i said im sure it would be alright if you had to sit around for a while and had nothing else to do but if your at your PS3 obviously (at least me) would rather play that over a 2D PSP game.

but if they can incorporate every tool somehow and make an equal or near equal create mode compared to PS3 cool		2009-02-25 18:38:00

Like there are multiple Mario games, there could be multiple PSP. All I would care is for MM to really adapt to the platform they are develloping on. Some people a PSP LBP as a big "meh" because they think about how the game is made on PS3 instead to thinking up another game.

Of course we don't know what is the design plan at MM but just to give you an example, I'm a huge fan of Knytt Stories. This game is having some incredible level editor and there's stuff you can do in there that even LBP PS3 can't. This game is proof to me that even a 2D LBP game could simply work and be amazing regardless it's different from the PS3 counterpart.

I would personally see LBP PSP as some physics based 2D platformer on the PSP. I would so totally buy it.

It would be very cool if it was connected to the ps3 version, with the same tools and everything. But if it isn't then i'm not interested at all. But i don't think that the creation aspect would work so well with that limited screen and controls, and how are they supposed to transfer the physics engine to the psp...2009-02-25 19:28:00

Well I think it would be safe to assume the level creator that ends up in the game (assuming there will be a level creator, of course) will be better than the one that was put in Smash Bros Brawl

I'm going to hold back any definite judgments until more details are released.

My psp's ad-hoc wireless function hasn't worked since the psp froze after I used a program I shouldn't have on it. And for some reason my psp can't communicate with my ps3 through online wifi. So unless there's possibilities of transferring what you've made on the psp via USB I don't know what I think about it.2009-02-25 19:56:00

2D physics games are awesome. Ever played "Phun" or "Crayon Physics"?
Also, Knytt Stories also trumps the "small screen" and "limited controls" argument.

The recently announced Playstation Portable version of LittleBigPlanet is being developed by Media Molecule and will likely be able to connect in someway with the Playstation 3 version.

The PSP's LittleBigPlanet will also tap into the three tenants of the original title: Playing, creating and sharing, John Koller, director of hardware marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment of America, told Kotaku in a recent interview.

"There is a whole play, create, share component to the game, just like the PS3," he said. "They are still working on that, so there's not a whole lot to talk about yet."

Koller added that Media Molecule was also looking at ways for the PSP version to connect with the PS3 version, perhaps to share levels, though he said no decision had been made yet.

Koller said that the decision to bring LittleBigPlanet to the Playstation Portable was driven in part by Sony's desire to expand the casual market for their portable.

Announced at Destination Playstation earlier this week along with a slew of other top-tier titles, LittleBigPlanet PSP likely isn't the biggest title heading to the platform this year, he said.

"At Destination Playstation we announced about half of the line up for the PSP this year, some fairly major, triple-A titles are coming for the back half of the year that are going to be announced in the coming months and at E3."

"LittleBigPlanet is going to be one of the top three but a number of others that are coming are just as big."

Update: We're checking why Koller is contradicting what the Playstation Blog says about who is developing the LBP game.

Update: Koller initially told us that Media Molecule was developing LittleBigPlanet for the PSP, but we've since clarified that it is being made with their input.

There is already an older thread about this:
https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=9187

I think it would be pretty cool if the psp version could work with the ps3's, like if you had some spare time on a bus then you could work a little on your level while waiting, then you could upload it and download it into your ps3. But that's probably impossible, and if it is then im not interested in the game at all..		2009-03-02 16:01:00

I think you need to see LittleBigPlanet as a franchise. I mean, why would it need to connect with PS3? Why would it need to be the same game?

I think it will be EVEN MORE interesting if it's a different game. Each game could hold its on and we have 2 kinds of fun instead of just one.
Look at Killzone2 on PS3 and Killzone Liberation on PSP, they have nothing to do with each other and each game is awesome in its own rights.

I don't see why anyone would think it isn't "needed" on PSP.

There are many people who can't afford a PS3 (or won't spend the cash on one) but do (or will buy) a PSP. Why shouldn't they be able to join in on the LBP experience/fun too?

At least for story mode, not too sure how the create mode would function on a PSP (seems a little hefty for it to function correctly).		2009-03-05 02:37:00

As long as it works, and has a kick-*** create mode then I'm in

Still hoping for some interactivity between the PSP and PS3. Being able to download your levels from the PS3 to tweak a bit on PSP on a long journey would rock. Also, making a level on PSP - would we be able to upload them to the internet? Could be a bit slow and even so, would PS3 users be able to play them, or just PSP players?		2009-03-08 17:30:00
