Today Sony have announced that they have Acquired the leading developer Media Molecule! I’m hoping this marriage (as the guys at MM call it) will start paving the way towards the announcement of their next title.
Michael Denny, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Studios Europe, had this to say about the deal.
“The decision was an easy one after meeting four young, talented people with a massive ambition to redefine video games as we know them, followed by a fantastic exclusive relationship that culminated in the launch of one of the most innovative PlayStation games of recent years. Of course, LittleBigPlanet needs no introduction here, as it was thanks to you that it became a best selling PS3 title when it released in late 2008.
The acquisition will enhance the talent pool within SCE, protect past and current investment and ensure a solid base for future investment. Media Molecule have exciting projects in the pipeline and we’re looking forward to sharing these with you in the not too distant future.
The most important thing is that nothing will change from your perspective; Media Molecule will simply continue to make great games. Welcoming Media Molecule into the PlayStation family will allow us to better support their future titles and ambitions.”
I’m hoping this means that LittleBigPlanet and other future titles by Mm will be pushed even more into the spotlight. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what Media Molecule and Sony have in store for us!
Geekadelphia.com are hosting a new LittleBigPlanet competition, where you have to re-create the U.S. city, Philadelphia in a level. It can be anything to do with the city, just keep it as creative as possible.
I would suggest that anybody interested in entering should do a bit of research on the place before you attempt to make your level.
The person who builds the best Philadelphia inspired creation, will recieve a PSPGo and a $50 PSN card, the two runners up will get a copy of LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year Edition and a $25 PSN card. This competition is definitely worth entering in my opinion.

This pack allows you to dress up as the characters from the new JRPG. It has some very nice costumes in it, possibly the best in DLC so far. This is probably my favourite of the bunch.
There are three other awesome costumes in there that you should have a look at. Click the link below to find out more details about this pack and view the other costumes.
Also, on the subject of DLC, watch this awesome video MediaMolecule have made, which showcases all the DLC in 2009.
Now through Sunday, March 21, 2010, U.S. and Canadian consumers who purchase a new PSPgo system can download one of our top PSP titles from the Playstation Store at no additional cost. One of these titles is LittleBigPlanet PSP, If you have been thinking about getting a PSPgo, this may just give you the final push.
Thats right folks. As some of you may have heard in our latest podcast, episode 13, our most popular episode yet (don’t ask me why) we have been invited to go and see the office where it all takes place, Media Molecule HQ! Shermzor, as well as my sister and I are all attending. We will be meeting Tom and Spaff and they will be taking us round for a tour to meet some molecules and then out for some lunch.
We’ll be sure to take lots of pictures with the team and post them up on the blog when we get back – and maybe even some footage of us!
We’re leaving soon though, so I must get ready.
UPDATE:
The trip was brilliant. Listen to the next podcast for the aftermath! Meanwhile, you can check out some pictures we took in our gallery:
