Mario & Master Chief possible in LittleBigPlanet

by Nick Doerr { Aug 25th 2007 at 9:30AM }

You may recall a while back when Sony released a few concept pics of LittleBigPlanet, specifically their character creation sketches, that drawings of Mario, Master Chief, and Katamari were included. Many people thought this was cute and/or funny, but not entirely possible. Creative director Mark Healey assures us that, while concept art, "...you can customise your character so much that that's entirely possible." This is done by importing "stickers" from your hard drive -- something we don't quite understand, but are entirely sure it's straightforward to do once you try for about ten minutes.

Sony will leave it mostly up to the community to report and moderate dodgy comment. Healey cedes that "the first thing I'd do is make a big c*** and publish it, but clearly we can't allow that." Someone will, Healey, someone will. But it'll be up to us to lay the ban hammer on them and keep our LittleBigPlanet clean and habitable. Either way, we can't wait to see Mario teaming up with the Master Chief alongside, say, a Helghast in order to make it through a level in LBP.

Popfrogs @ Aug 25th 2007 10:13AM

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Sony owns the IP, sorry.

@everyone but #5

"This is not the Xbot you're looking for."

EDGE @ Aug 25th 2007 11:33AM

What is the ETA for this game ?

mccomber @ Aug 25th 2007 11:44AM

@EDGE, not soon enough... I think sometime in the first quarter of 2008. I can't wait to see how the customization for characters works, hopefully it's mac compatible too. I want to make a Little Big Daddy!

Byron517 @ Aug 25th 2007 11:44AM

Wow @5

Are people that fk'n stupid!! It's SONY exclusive!!

CoolDude330 @ Aug 25th 2007 12:32PM

Ok #5, when LBP comes out for 360 then i'll be busy playing Halo and Gears of War on my PS3.

Translation: NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Sucks for you Xbots that you won't be getting MGS4, doesn't it? >:)

EDGE @ Aug 25th 2007 1:17PM

@12

hmmm, Bioshock can play on PC, halo 3 not interested along with the rest.

Only title there that interests me is Mass Effect.

So yeah, epic fail.

KiraXD @ Aug 25th 2007 1:31PM

@12 LOL at that list if thats your weapon.. lmao.

(too human? LOL, the 360 will be lucky to see that game .... ever!)

EDGE @ Aug 25th 2007 2:14PM

@corbin

What is there to explain if the only game on your uber list I am interested in playing is Mass Effect ?

secret @ Aug 25th 2007 2:26PM

After three and a half years and all these great game slections they keep on mentioning about the 360 (really about 6 or seven shooters for heroine addicts and druggies or high school stoners), I'm still strangely not interested in the 360. In fact, after buying my first PS3, instead of buying another 360, I went out and bought a second PS3.

Can you explain why a person who buys a PS3 first would not consider buying a 360 or a Wii at all, but anyone who bought a 360 or Wii first would become curious about the PS3 and contemplate buying one?

Dahk @ Aug 25th 2007 2:48PM

Jeez how do random articles like this turn into flame hungry exclusive game argument battles.

You listed 15. And some of them aren't coming until way later, so I shall list some way laters as well, that aren't even time exclusives.

Folklore, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Rachet & Clank: ToD, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid 3, Final Fantasy XIII, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Gran Turismo 5, Eye of Judgment, SingStar, Infamous.

Can we end this discussion now? You'll go on to list more, I'll go on to list more. Jeez.

About LittleBigPlanet, LOL at Grey Fox!! I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it. That is AWESOME. I have to make one now.

Actually Konami should like mix it up with Media Molecule. When you buy MGS4, have like MGS4 characters and those crazy bosses go in sac-man form. Haha that'd be awesome.

radioactiveseamonkey @ Aug 25th 2007 2:49PM

Why is it that xbots come to ps3fanboy...why are u guys so interested in ps3 news?

KiraXD @ Aug 25th 2007 2:49PM

@16 actually i attacked that whole list, just pointed out that duke nukem forev... too human, was vaporware

and nothing eh? here, lemme list what your dumb ass will never see...

KZ2, R&C, Uncharted, LAIR, Heavenlysword, Warhawk, LBP, MGS4, FFXIII/Vs., White Knight Story, WarDevil Enigma, Grand Turismo 5... should i keep going? i mean, both camps can list great titles for each console.... theres no reason to be such a dick about it like you did.

Toby @ Aug 25th 2007 3:16PM

Too Human looks amazingly retarded. The trailer looked horrible.

secret @ Aug 25th 2007 3:45PM

I don't even acknoldge or recgonize the 360 but I'll give the Wii a nod for revelotionizing the gaming inudstry by making it decent again (mr. rogers, disney, sesame street type of decent instead of the high school drop out remedial student punk death metal gears of war and bioshock crack addict horror movie games.) 360 people are gamers, and you know the stereotype about gamers, don't you? What are the stereotypes again, please?

I don't feel feel jealous of 360 people owners. I don't feel anything. I just don't like how I never bother going to their webiste to cause problems but they keep on coming to our neighborhood for some reason. Do you see Beverlly Hills and CEOs coming to the Ghetto to trash a neighborhood and rob houses and commit crimes? No. Do you see people from poor neighborhoods and prison inmates who like Gears of War coming over to Beverly Hills or Fancy neighborhoods to spray paint and steal cars and rob houses and commit vandalism and other misdeamers???? Yes.

sicklesdawg @ Aug 25th 2007 5:10PM

^WHY ARE YOU HERE?

John @ Aug 25th 2007 5:38PM

secret you are a extremely stupid person. I will not state the same thing again. ALL THE CONSOLES ARE GREAT!!! I have become bored of you stupid and useless post saying things like "glad im not a 360 owner" You have to be kidding....Right? Have you ever played any console then the PS3...I doubt it or you would be unable to to make such false statements like calling it trash.

Also i being a fanboy of all....And being on all 3 fanboy sites. Can say that PS3ers invade the 360 site just as much. Infact the only place that dosent invade
