Little Big Planet 2 release date pushed back

[wright316uk]

today on the PS blog media molecule has released a statement about little big planet 2 :(


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. But like all the most ambitious ideas, it can be a considerable challenge to turn these dreams in 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.

We know this will come as disappointing news for all you LittleBigPlanet fans, and believe us, we are disappointed too. We are a tight-knit team and we take enormous pride in our work, so to raise the bar we’ve set with the original LittleBigPlanet, a game that has been so embraced by all, we’ve agreed to allow ourselves a bit more time to deliver the experience that our great fans and community deserve. 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.

Thanks for your continued love and support, it won’t be long – we promise.

Lots of love from all at Mm.

so looks like we will be waiting a little while longer .....

I saw this. Im not too gutted. I do really want the game, but money will be tight around then (buying a flat) so a few months should allow me to save the pennies!

Im gutted its been delayed tbh as ive got a couple of exams in January so ill have to get it after them.

In many ways i am glad that it has been delayed, to many games get thrown out unfiished these days with the designers thinking they can just release a patch for them games after it has been released which isnt acceptable so fair play to the designers for making this decision as they are going to miss out of christmas sales.

In a way I'm sad about it being delayed because it's one of the games I've been most looking forward to for remainding few months of the year, but also I'm kinda happy because there are lots of games coming out in October/November that I want to buy and wouldn't have had the cash to buy them all. Now I'll be able to buy one more of them & get this when it's released in January. :)

Aye a feel the same. My budget's tight due to the amount of games out in the next like 6 months so i'm no too bothered tbh.

Dammit, this is the only game I have the money to buy and now it's not coming until January?? That's 4 months without a new game :(

Damn, and I was expecting this to be in the bargain bin by Xmas (if the track record of the first one is anything to go by).

Bit of shame it is getting delayed to be honest, but at least it gives them more time to work on the single-player and all the new creation options.
