LittleBigPlanet for PSP gets a little bit more likely
Sony job advert suggests something is happening...
A while back, a rumour emerged - apparently stemming from a Sony Studio Liverpool employee - that LittleBigPlanet was in development for PSP.
Now a Sony job ad seems to suggest that information might have been correct. PSPFanboy has picked up on a programmer vacancy role currently being advertised: "...a senior level programmer to work on the development of exciting new LittleBigPlanet projects. Ideal candidates will already have extensive experience of the PSP platform...Allegrex core...VFPU and GE... competent with PSP profiling tools...Able to organise and track their own work...excellent time management skills" blah de blah de blah.
LittleBigPlanet projects! PSP platform! It's not definitive proof the game is happening of course, and it could be Sony is just playing around with the idea. But at least the idea is there.
LittleBigPlanet - for those thinking, 'what is this game with no spaces in its title?' - is a soon-to-be-released (on October 24th) PS3 game that lets users essentially create their own games then share them with others online. It's about as massive as Spore for PS3 owners and one of the most exciting titles to land on the console.
We're not sure why there are no spaces in the title though.
The game would need scaling down for PSP, but the community-designed content aspect of the experience could still easily work on the console.
Could it be that now the PS3 version is finished Sony is turning its attentions to a PSP version?
An announcement could be impending at the Tokyo Game Show being held later this month where Sony will be showing three previously unannounced new PSP titles. Click 'Track It!' and you'll be among the first to hear if LittleBigPlanet is one of them.
