Just reading a Tearaway review the other day and I have been thinking in the run up to E3; there has barely been any hype or anticipation of Media Molecule's next project. Certainly not as much as other studios under the Sony Worldwide Studios banner.
Why is this? They are in exalted company based on their (I don't like using this but...) Metacritic ratings for their games:
Little Big Planet - 95%
LBP2 - 92%
Tearaway - 87%
Secret PS4 project - ??
MM is made up of former Lionhead guys who also worked on Rag Doll Kung Fu. Pedigree is top notch. Granted their output is not massive yet (only 50-odd employees iirc) but you can only judge them on what they have put out.
I'm personally really excited to see what they reveal for the PS4. They have been pumping out top, top quality stuff for years now. I feel they need to be given more of a centre-stage by Sony this gen. Their next title could be a game-changer.
Sucker Punch and GG's get a lot of the spotlight but neither has created a title as highly rated as LBP. Sony should get their damn priorities straight when it comes to the funding of their studios imo.
