14 DAY TRIAL // LittleBigPlanet 2, the sequel to one of the most popular titles released for the PlayStation 3, has just been delayed, as its developer, Media Molecule, announced that more time is needed to make sure that the best experience possible is delivered to gamers all around the world.
LittleBigPlanet 2 promises to take the premise of the original, which let you create your own levels and adventures through a variety of ways, and kick it up a few notches, offering new tools that can enable players to fully create different types of games.
Sadly, it seems that the ambitious project won't be able to reach its estimated release date this winter, and has been pushed back to January, 2011.
"LittleBigPlanet 2 is a crazy dream, a dream to allow players to make whatever kind of game they want, but also to play though a great adventure of drama and excitement, power-ups, and cinematics," revealed the studio in a prepared statement.
"But like all of the most ambitious ideas, it can be a considerable challenge to turn these dreams in to fun games. We’ve all been working like powered-up space ninjas and we’re almost there, but because we love what we’ve made, and we love our little sack-friends, and most of all we love all our fans out there, we couldn’t let you all get together until we knew we were giving you the best experience imaginable."
"Which is why we’ve taken the hard decision to delay the worldwide release of LittleBigPlanet 2, originally slated for later this year to January 2011."
Gamers shouldn't worry though, as Media Molecule promises that they will let fans get a better taste of the game before it will be eventually shipped out.
"We are truly sorry, but hope you understand that we have to build the best possible game, as it is the foundation of our community. On the upside, we are going to find a way to give more of you a taste of LBP2 prior to launch, so stay tuned."
Even though this will certainly upset many LittleBigPlanet fans, it seems that the studio has things under control and will use the extra time to polish up the title so that everyone will be pleased by the end result.
