I think you're onto something here...
I want to believe. But only if it's PS3 exclusive of course, anything else would make the earth shatter into a thousand pieces, spreading across the universe, waving to Sephiroth when he destroys the solar system for the umph' time.

my guess is the ac2 will probably there next big "expansion pack", like they did with mgs4. it would be pretty sweet doing little mini-assassin missions, lol.

Well if they transferred all the data to the sequel it would work, but the continuous DLC blurs the line between sequel and expansions anyway.

Its like a never ending sequel.

I really hope this game can stand the tests of time. This will really show all the Big Companies (EA, Activision and Ubisoft) that you don't have to release a sequel every year. If you make a good enough product with enough support (DLC) people will continue to play it and love it. I can't wait for Mod Racers and hope we can get the same level of commitment.

So it's been almost a year since the Metal Gear expansion because I played it Christmas morning...so I think it's about time for another. And as far as a sequel I fully support the DLC keep it coming....P.S. ONLINE CREATE PLZ!!!!!

I would love for more developers to take this approach of seeing their games as more of a "platform" than just a product that needs a sequel cranked out every 1 or 2 years. I think Harmonix sort of led the charge with Rock Band and I applaud both them and Media Molecule for it.

I figured someone would bring that up, and that's a good point, but what I mean is the way you could import the majority of RB 1 tracks into RB 2 and since the release of RB 2 they have consistantly provided a quality selection of songs every week instead of releasing $60.00 retail discs. RB 2 has been out for 2 years now and is still my music game of choice because all the great tracks that I like to play have been mainly chosen by me by purchasing them off the amazing RB Store and I can have access to all of them through one disc.

Still never picked this up yet, did it live to the hype? I figure it must have because of all the DLC and crossovers. Is it still fun if you don't want to make your own levels?

I would say no. I was very excited for this game, and was very disappointed - mainly because of the "floaty" controls, and lag experienced in multi player. This game was over hyped :(

I was disappointed initially as well because of the hype. What I failed to realize was that the game doesn't actually become worth purchasing until you have a buddy or two playing with you. Once I rectified that mistake, it became one of my favorite games this generation.

I'm still not very happy that they decided to double-dip this game with a GOTY edition with content you can't download... pretty lame on their part.

I'm also really surprised by how few official level packs have been released... I think they blew some really good potential there.

Anyways, I sold mine after the GOTY edition hit. Maybe I'll pick it back up once GOTY is in the bargain bin for $20.

I have the GOTY edition since I didn't join the PS3 crowd until the slim, but you could have simply played the GOTY levels through people's hearted lists easily enough, from what I hear.

I have the GOTY edition. I thought the only extra stuff was some content packs and some user created levels? The content packs you can just buy already. I haven't looked for the levels, but I'm sure you can search for them.

I'm not worried about there not being a sequel. They're adding big new content to it, so a sequel would be a pointless endeavour (just like Madden).

I will always come back to LBP, such a fun game! :-)

Man, I ask the same thing... I'm not that big on platformers but I do love kart racers. I've never owned a 64, GameCube or a Wii but everytime I went over someone's house that did, I use to play the crap out of Mario Kart. If Mod Racer can deliever on the same lines of LittleBigPlanet, it would be crazy... Like Mario Kart on crack...

I never liked the idea of a sequel for LBP anyway. I want to think of LBP as THE LBP but not the original and then its sequel.

Well, good for them. It's about time a developer made a good game and supported it without the intention of just throwing out a sequel as soon as it's profitable. That's called integrity, and treating your fans right. I think some developers (*cough*VALVE*hack*) could certainly stand to learn from this.

lame you guys are a bunch of pansies. I just stated I didn't like the game and you commented me down. I wasn't even being condescending about it. I just stated my opinion that I didn't think the game was all that some of you make it out to be. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them wrong, it just makes them different. Some of you guys are such tools.

My guess is he doesn't know or didn't bother reading the article...

here let me quote a little ..."Twelve months, one million community levels,"


What other game does that? I mean seriously, some people out there are genius, ordinary people just like M.M staff, that can pull off some of the craziest levels. More than 50% of the million levels are great if not amazing. If you can do math that's a lot, read more, that is all.

Yay, more costumes in 2010. FAIL
They need a WHOLE DISC worth of more levels... Update the main game to allow you to pop out the disc and pop in a level pack, and away you go for hours more.... ala Sing Star.
Some of us don't want to dirty up our HDD's with Gigs and Gigs of "extras" that sit idle for 95% of the time.
LBP is one of my favourite games this Gen, but I haven't played it in +6 months. Too difficult to find good levels to play online, and when you do, it takes too long to load them.

It's really not very difficult at all to find good levels. Many community sites have bi-weekly lists of great levels, and of course there are built in tools such as "most hearted" and the "cool levels" page.

Agreed. They've totally missed out on a lot of potential long term customers because of the lack of any REAL expansion style DLC. I know many people who sold their copy because they expected actual content to be coming down the pipe but never got it.

I haven't bought any of the DLC/costumes. Because, well, I don't want more costumes. I've had it since launch and I've been waiting for a new original set of levels (more than the few that the MGS stuff added). I also don't care if it's licensed, I just want content. I'm borderline on trading it in. I just don't care to wait anymore.

Attempts at finding levels online was fruitless and less than fun. It's all disjointed. I tend to play a lot of the time 'offline'. I want a series of levels, strung together, in the same style and of at least some respectable length. As well, new level building stuff doesn't interest me as I don't have the time to create levels for myself. There's a job and personal life to deal with.
