LittleBigPlanet is going to become a kart racer, creatively titled LittleBigPlanet Karting. It seems odd that a series built around making what you want and creating many types of games has been restricted to a single genre, but if Sony still wants to make Sackboy some sort of mascot, then a kart racer is obligatory.
There had been rumors of this game circulating for the past week, and Sony responded to the gossip with an uncharacteristic confirmation, rather than a flat denial: "We can confirm that LittleBigPlanet Karting is in fact in development and we look forward to sharing more on the game soon!"
So there you go. Out there, somewhere, the Modnation Racers team is crying softly and wondering what it did to make Sony so upset.

you were actually a really good game
Sony is just so weird these days. ModNation, as I understand it, is the best thing to come along since Mario kart for the kart racing genere, why risk confusion by saturating the market with another of your own brands?
Little Big Planet 2 can probably already do whatever this new game is expected so what's the point?
i wanted to play MNR, but the strong amount of bitching regarding the extremely long load times, that they had to fix with a patch and still didnt quite reduce. turned me off. kart racers are something you want to jump right into. not sit and wait while all the assets load etc.
but i love the idea of a make your own kart tracks, maybe i should pick up MNR now.
Allstate ad should be gone now! Sorry about that!
