Little Britain coming to PSP
Yeah but no but yeah but no but yeah but no… Shut up! It really is
Look into our eyes, look into our eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into our eyes, three, two, one – you're under.
When you wake up you will think that a mini-game based software product tying in with a hugely successful (though arguably already past its peak in popularity) BBC comedy sketch series is actually a great idea that couldn't possibly fail or emerge as a hastily-developed, exploitative production.
Three, two, one – you're back in the room.
Actually, we're being unnecessarily cynical. Little Britain The Video Game sounds like the perfect candidate for a 'computer says no' scenario but it's actually being put together by Revolution Studios, Gamerholix and Gamesauce.
And while we can't vouch for the work of the last two as we've yet to see anything produced by either developer, Revolution certainly comes bundled with an enviable pedigree.
Inevitably, how the collaboration between the three will affect the content of the game is, at this stage, anyone's guess.
What we do know though is they're planning a collection of mini-games featuring Lou and Andy, Vicky Pollard, Mr. Mann, Emily and Florence, Marjorie Dawes, Daffyd Thomas, Judy & Maggie and Letty, with each mini-game playing out like a sketch from the TV show, so that all must be completed in order to reach the end credits.
There are other positive signs, too. Matt Lucas and David Walliams, stars of the TV show, have apparently played an integral part in the scripting of the game (as well as providing the voices, of course, alongside usual narrator Tom Baker), and the characters have all been modelled in 3D and hand animated to ensure the characteristics of their real-life counterparts are accurately replicated.
So yeeeeeeeeeeesssss. Maybe it will succeed, maybe it won't. Either way, expect it to appear shortly after the PC and PS2 versions (screenshot shown above), which are both out in January next year.
