As some of you know Sony announced a new motion controller for the PlayStation 3 at E3 2009. The wand-like device will work in a not dissimilar way to Nintendo’s Wiimote. A list of games which will support the new controller was revealed at the Tokyo Games Show, one of which was LittleBigPlanet!

A demonstraion of how LittleBigPlanet might use the PlayStation Motion Controller was also shown at TGS. In the demonstraion, certain highlighted objects in the level appear to be able to be manipulated using the wand. In the demonstraion, one player controlled Sackboy with the a regular Sixaxis controller while the other used the wand to move objects to help, and sometimes hinder, the player’s progression through the level. Other features appear to include a new pink material that dissolves when touched with the wand, acting as a switch.

This appears to be only a rough, test build of the game so we would expect any such updates to the game in the very near future. Also expect the final product to be significantly different to what is shown in the video below.

EB games have revealed that LBP PSP will hit the shelves on November 17th. Not a great deal on footage has been shown but hopefully this video will give you a better idea at how LBP will work on PSP.

In the video you may have caught some of the costumes and even some of the more expressive emotions of LBP PSP. Some emotions are completely new and also use body language a lot as well as facial expression. However, the game has been degraded , this wasn’t a surprise certainly the PSP cannot handle that type of gaming, and for whatever reason it can’t use lasers and certain other tools, but this is for personal play on your own out and about, and shouldn’t put you off, and also should provide hours of fun on the go. Talking of ‘Go’, it should “sew” together nicely with the new PSP Go. Pick up LBP PSP 17th November 2009, a price is not yet announced.
