Job listing reveals more on LittleBigPlanet PSP rumor

by Majed Athab { Oct 1st 2008 at 8:00AM }

Back in April we've heard rumors that the huge PS3 title out in the latter half of this month, LittleBigPlanet, would be getting its very own PSP title. Today, reader libertine pointed us to a SCEE job listing which refers to a position for "PSP game engine lead" whose job is to oversee "LittleBigPlanet projects." Whatever could this mean? Can we expect a handheld version of the dream-creation sim or can we expect to see some sort of LBP PS3-to-PSP integration?

[Thanks libertine!]

Update: Eurogamer had a chat with Media Molecule's Mark Healy where-in the MM co-founder legitimizes the possibility of LBP on PSP: "There's definitely scope for a PSP version. We've had discussions and talks, [but] nothing concrete at the moment."

Awesome news...if anything comes from it, that is.

While I'm not expecting a LBP where you create custom levels and such crazy-awesomeness in the PS3 version, but I would love a Sackboy-themed platformer.

Awww, i hope it has the same multiplayernessthingy. I hate laggy wipeout pulse infrastructure. So far only Star wars battlefront R.S. is the only game that i've seen go well on the psp with infrastructure and the worse being NFS:Own the city which had a infrastructure that could'nt even start up :o

Sheesh, make it so you can download favorite levels to your PSP and play through them; that would just be killer. LBP Lite or something - I'd love it!

This is how they should make a lbp on the psp:

1.white background
2.lower graphics and visuals
3.only 20 levels in the game
4. a level designer that's a bit smaller than the ps3's version
5.online and ad-hoc.
this is probably the best way to make a lbp on the psp.
cause remember, psp only can use 1.8 gigs

So after years of getting shitty PS2 ports we'll be getting lousy PS3 ones.
I sure hope not.

As much as I know LBP will be the next greatest thing right next to sliced bread. I myself want to see MM make Craft World more it was the 2D prototype game for LBP. This way seeing as the game would be in @d it would be easier to work on the PSP and at the same time be different.

Because I am going to buy the LBP for the PS3 and I see no need to have the same game on the PSP. But Craft World woulld be like the same but seeing as it would be 2D it would be totally different and so I would want to see that game on the PSP more.
