Job listing, Healey discuss 'LittleBigPlanet projects' on PSP

by Christopher Grant on Oct 1st 2008 1:44PM

With the 873 million of you out there with a PSP that alternates between being dragged around everywhere and then totally neglected, there may be hope yet! We first heard rumors back in April that LittleBigPlanet would be cramming its creative britches into something more appropriate for the PSP; now, Sony is looking to recruit someone capable of just such a cramming, a "PSP Game Engine Lead" who would "work on the development of exciting new LittleBigPlanet projects."

Pretty convincing, but not nearly as convincing as the game's developer brainstorming a PSP version with Eurogamer telling, "There's definitely scope for a PSP version ... We've had discussions and talks, [but] nothing concrete at the moment." Maybe once they get that PSP Game Engine Lead all signed up, those slushy talks will stiffen up into something decidedly more concrete.

I wouldn't object to a PSP version. I can see it being a little watered-down, but if it has some type of significant interactivity with the console version I'd buy it.

I was about to comment the exact same words, mind reader.

Yeah, the PSP deserves SOMETHING every once and a while.

Can't wait to here more.

Well lets just hope it's true as Nintendo has been lacking on the games front for the DS.

It seems the DS's abilities have been near exhausted. Maybe the alleged DS2 is their focus currently?

PortableBigPlanet

It has my money

I was thinking LittleBigPortable myself. ;)

I'm starting to like Sony. They're getting this generation of their product line on track. Resistance, Super Stardust, and now possibly LittleBigPlanet on the PSP. I bought PlayTV as well, and it's awesome to watch Live TV on the go.

MotoStorm would another great PSP title, but I've heard Gran Turismo Portable will only be available in a bundle with Duke Nukem Forever, and include a free-energy battery pack.

Going to have to be extremely watered down since LBP on PS3 'supposedly' takes up the entire space of a dual-layered blu-ray disc lol.

But I would love to see this happen.
