I'm calling it: Little Big Planet 3 on PS4.

Launching w/ the PS4.
They've said that they're done with LBP as a studio. If there is a PS4 LBP, I'd expect Tarsier to make it under MM's supervision.
Bring on the new games!
I don't know if it is LBP 3. I think what LBP "is" is fairly well-known at this point. I think that there are other developers who can just take the premise that is LBP and move it to the next platform, like whoever is making the Vita version, or United Front Games who are making LBP Karting and might be one of the best developers around from what I can tell.
MM is full of creative people, and I hope they're making a whole new concept like they did with the first LBP. That would be the smart move. That studio itself doesn't need to be the one making sequels. In fact they might be the worst choice for it.

Double 11 has recently been signed for a 10 year deal, right? They're helping out with LBP Vita at the moment. Wouldn't be surprised to see them and SCE London make LBP 3.

This makes me a little worried about Tearaway.
How do you think Nintendo make games for 3DS?
Intelligent Studios was making tree games at the same time (Pushmo, Fire Emblem and Paper Mario). There are 42 people working at that studio.
Yes, but, it could also speak volumes about the actual scope of the project.
To be fair though, LBP itself was made by a damn small team too, and that was a huge project. We'll see.

Also says to me 15 people from the other Sony powerhouses should do the same. Cmon sucker punch, do it, do it!
From the things you could do in the trailer ? Scope is more than big enough for me !
P3P doesn't use that much assets and I played it for 170+ hours.
The Tearaway trailer and demo already has more variety.
I love Media Molecule's work and I cannot wait see what else they have planned for their next IP.
I hope that Media Molecule really take it to the next level with their next title (which must be for the PS4) and make something that puts them in the same breath as Naughty Dog when people talk about Sony's big first party studios.
In saying that a LBP 'mmo' (for want of a better word) from a studio other than MM would be very welcome as well.

What things are you referring to? I seem to remember it looking like a 3d adventure game with some touch elements. I mean, it could be a three hour game for all we know...
- new 3D engine enabling the creation of karting, shooters, and 3D action and RPG levels
- backward compatible with LBP1, LBP2 and LBP Karting content
- bundled with every PS4 sold
- majority of revenue derived from costume and level DLCs
Could work. But i believe MM is definitely working on a new IP.
It may very well be, but the variety of visual elements, activities and the landscape is much more alive and vivid. Then again, P3P only has one tall, dynamic, squarish dungeon throughout my entire 170+ hour adventure.
Other than the art, I am most curious about Tearaway's controls and their cross digital-real world interactions (paper folding, back touch, blowing, scratch LP, etc.).

Good to hear they are working on another title as well. They are a very good studio and glad they are continually working on new products. Let's hope for yet another great new IP, or the rumored LBP full MMO.

Which is awesome, by the way. I just went back and played through the Move pack and am starting the Muppets now, and these levels are as good or better than the original MM ones. Can't wait for Vita.

Not surprised it's 15 people.
Certainly looks that way.

Around 40 people at MM are putting almost all of Sony's other devs to shame. Only Santa Monica and ND compare and those are huge studies IIRC.
ND won't do Vita development.

No, see, he said 15 - not 150. Besides, there are more than 15 people working on it. Read the quote above.
It's one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen, so if it "looks" like a 15-person project then, please, every other studio, please approach development this way.
I hope that if for some reason MM is working on a LBP-related thing, it is a hub to launch with the PS4. I really dislike how fragmented the community is.
