Where do you plan to go from here?

Alex Evans: I have no idea actually when we're going to make an announcement, but the whole team is full-on [working on] LBP, because there's so much stuff that we didn't get in the game and that we've learned from watching 3.5 months of user-made levels.

Quite recently actually, we were bouncing ideas around... and then at a certain point, we're like, "We're gonna just take a character, we're just gonna try this direction." And I can't say what it is, but it's really f*cking cool.

It's a quite interesting thing because it was like a magnet. Everyone sort of [joined in] on that thing, then I suddenly saw these people kind of going, "Oh my god, far from being tired of LBP, I suddenly see this untapped potential."

And in ways that hopefully will still be fresh so when it comes back, people won't be like, "Yeah, they just exploited that thing, and it's really ****ing obvious that they would do that." I think LBP is in their future, and hopefully in surprising ways.

[NOTE: Separately of Media Molecule's in-house work, a PSP version of LittleBigPlanet was confirmed shortly after AIAS, to be developed in association with Sony Cambridge.]

a lot more to the interview in the link.

what direction do you guys think they're going?
