GC '09: Multiplayer sacked from LittleBigPlanet
Level sharing still intact
Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet will retain the level building and sharing features of its console counterpart, but at a loss of multiplayer.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Senior Producer Mark Green explained that making LittleBigPlanet work on the portable meant cutting out multiplayer.
"It's a trade-off," Green observes. "The system is physically capable of doing multiplayer, but perhaps not with the full physics system."
While the intended lack of multiplayer is disappointing, LittleBigPlanet is packing a number of other exciting features including the ability to create and share levels locally and online. No word still on whether the game will connect with the PlayStation 3 version.
As we wait for more details ahead of its October 30 release, check out new screenshots showing off Sackboy's outback adventure.
