LittleBigPlanet has some free goodies up for grabs over on Sony’s US site.

As part its promotion for Sony Wonder, voucher codes for owners of Little Big Planet are being handed out for the Norse Mythology pack that includes costumes and level creation DLC.

Head over through the link to get yours now.

Media Molecule has posted on its blog that LittleBigPlanet was once known as Craft World.

Showing off a flier used to pitch the game design to Sony, the proposal promises a game with “glorious photorealistic PS3-powered 3D” with peer-to-peer sharing. The now famous mascot is shown as a potato in a sack, instead of the sackboy know and loved today.

According to the blog, the firm’s IT manager has found a few DVDs containing various videos of LittlebigPlanet’s past, and promises the possibility of posting these in the future.

Glad MM changed the name at least.

More through the link.

A demo for LittleBigPlanet will arrive on PSN next week, allowing those who have yet to “jump in the sack” (loved that bit) a chance to try the platformer out, and see what the fuss is all about.

That rhymed a bit, sorry.

Anyway, the demo has in-game levels and mini-games for you to play with by yourself or with up to three of your friends. You can also customize your own Sackboy and play around with stickers and objects and more.

This hits on September 10 while the Game of the Year Edition is expected to be released on September 8.

Head on over to the US PS Blog for the full bit.

Thanks, Syrok.

Loads of LittleBigPlanet stuff has come out of GamesCom. The water stuff, the confirmation of the GoTY edition, the PSP version…it was LittleBigPlanet Central over at the Sony booth, apparently.

To show you just how much LBP was packed in, James Shepherd , the development director at Cambridge Studios, is featured in the video past the break chatting about LBP PSP including details on Create mode, on-the-go level inspiration and more.

Water is coming to LittleBigPlanet as part of a new kit, and Media Molecule is currently accepting Beta applications.

Here’s the quote from the website:

It’s not just a saying you know – We really do need to test the water to make sure the new features all work as planned, and we need your help to do it! How would you like to dive on in to the crystal clear waters and enjoy some splish-splashing about before everyone else? Get out your rubber rings people, this is gonna be one hell of a pool party!

Sounds fun.

Go here. Sign up. Make sure your PSN account is set up to accept email from Sony Computer Entertainment. Cross your fingers and hope you get accepted.

Sony has cut multiplayer out of LittleBigPlanet PSP in order to get it to work. Despite this, the game is pretty much ready for the handheld.

“The one thing we’ve lost is multiplayer,” the game’s producer, Mark Green, told Eurogamer. “You’ve got full physics systems, you got full create mode, you’ve got all the aspects of LittleBigPlanet – you can upload, download, ad-hoc share with people – but we haven’t got multiplayer.

“It’s a trade-off. The system is physically capable of doing multiplayer, but perhaps not with the full physics system. On the technical side of things you lose a third of the processing power or a third of the system memory just to do multiplayer at all. With those limitations we couldn’t achieve it.

“The PS3 had those three planes you could move around on, but the first thing we asked Media Molecule was whether we could reduce that to two, and they were like, well, most of the levels we built can be played with two anyway, so that’s not a problem.”

Since he and loads of others weren’t fans of the jump handling in the PS3 version, Green said that Sony’s Cambridge studio had improved on it for the PSP version.

Good to know.

MediaMolecule has announced an upcoming downloadable bit of goodies for LittleBigPlanet.

Water will be added via a kit basically.

Shows it in the reveal trailer posted after the break.

Wonder if sackboys are drownable. Hope so.

No release date was posted with the listing, but Amazon is taking preorders, apparently.

Media Molecule has confirmed PS3 connectivity for LittleBigPlanet PSP.

Those that purchased the original game can unlock bonus content through a feature called Cross-Talk when the PSP version is released. Plans for a demo of the game through PSN are in the cards.

No word yet on what the bonus goodies are, but according to a leaked retail sheet, Sony plans on pushing a multi-million dollar marketing program for the title which, according to Joystiq, will coincide with the release of PSPgo.

Sounds good.

Next Gamer has reported that Media Molecule will release the History Pack for LittleBigPlanet August 13 thanks to word on the EU PS forums and the Japanese Sony site.

The pack consists of Boudica, Countess of Lovelace, Genghis Khan, and Mozart with stickers and decorations and according to translations from the Japanese site, a second bit of DLC will include the sound effects and a new level kit.

Hopefully we will know about it soon.

LittleBigPlanet is being re-released in Game of the Year packaging with downloadable content.

It is expected sometime this year, exact date and pricing yet to be determined.

There is also no word on what DLC will be included, as it is a work in progress, but it is expected to contain the majority of what is already available via PSN.

More over on MCV.

LittleBigPlanet will be getting a Druid Sackboy costume just in time for the summer solstice – well in the UK at any rate.

The little bearded fellow will arrive on PSN June 18 in Europe, and June 25 in North America.

It’s available for a limited time – one week only – so if you want it don’t delay.

The European PSN update this week is rather awesome.

VidZone, Wolfenstein 3D, loads of map packs and add-ons, plus the Team Ico costume pack for LittleBigPlanet.

Contain your enthusiasm long enough to download the stuff.

IGN got some face time with LittleBigPlanet PSP and the first impressions of the game are resoundingly positive ones.

The game runs well at this point, the controls are nicely responsive, and it looks like the collectible stickers and such are here in full effect. The main hub had the moons for user-generated content, though the build was locked down to just playing the demo level.

So far it looks cool, and given that it seems like it’ll have entirely unique content, it should wind up being a worthy pickup for fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.

Whet your appetite? Here are some screenshots.

Media Molecule has released screens for the rest of the 2000AD LittleBigPlanet costumes.

Due to be released today for both EU and US, each costume will run you $1.99, Judge Dredd and Judge Anderson are a package deal, while the bundle will set you back $5.99 and includes 17 stickers.

Hit the link to take a look at what you’ll get.

Media Molecule has revealed two costumes from the 2000AD DLC pack for LittleBigPlanet on its website.

The two outfits shown are Judge Dredd and Judge Cassandra Anderson, and more is to be revealed daily until the pack releases this Thursday.

This week’s European PSN update looks a bit better compared to last week.

Sony has confirmed that Ratchet and Clank are indeed getting the LittleBigPlanet treatment – it’s just not sure when.

The admission is in response to yesterday’s tweet between Insomniac and Media Molecule’s Alex Evans, which said that “lbp levells coming, r&c content done, coming soon.”

While the content is indeed “in the works”, Sony is unsure when it will be ready for release or what it consists of, because it doesn’t have “any further details at this time.”

Fair enough.

Thanks Eurogamer.
