Marvel in Little Big Planet's orbit
Sony announces deal to
bring comic-book content to Media Molecule's content-creation-heavy
platformer; Wolverine, Iron Man, and Captain America outfits teased.
Having just reached 1 million user-created levels--including the complicated calculator level (see below)--Little Big Planet shows no signs of slowing down. Yesterday at Comic-Con 2009 in San Diego, Sony revealed a major new media partner would be providing original content for the PlayStation 3 exclusive.
Apropos to the venue, the partner was Marvel Entertainment, the company behind such iconic comic-book franchises as Spider-Man and The Uncanny X-Men.
Though specific downloadable content plans have yet to be finalized,
Marvel did tout some proposed licensed outfits for the game's simulated
stocking characters, affectionately known as Sackboys and Sackgirls.
Re-creations of Captain America, Iron Man, and Wolverine from the X-Men comics were all shown, but Sony emphasized that they were merely "concept art of possible costumes."
