Media Molecule has made its name with the critically acclaimed platformer LittleBigPlanet, but if a new job listing is anything to go by, the studio is not content to merely sit on its laurels, with a new console title currently in the works.
The job listing asks for someone with "experience writing and maintaining physics code," who has, "shipped a console game with an online component." Both these elements hint that LittleBigPlanet 2 is in the works, which should have been a given anyway, considering how hard Sony has been pushing that prospective franchise.
Until then, all we know is that the title is due to be a "Ground-breaking, AAA, PS3 title for Sony Computer Entertainment. At the time of writing, it was only confirmed that Media Molecule was working on LBP for the PSP, and since MM is only a small studio, it was believed that there wouldn't be enough hands for a whole new PS3 title. Apparently this is not the case.
Are you ready for even more LittleBigPlanet, or do you hope Media Molecule has something entirely different up its sleeve?

Oh, and a boomer with a thong.
I want something with more lasting appeal for me than I thought LBP would have. LBP had seemingly infinite things to do, but for some reason, I just lost interest quite quickly.
Although I do have to admit, playing a user-gen Ico tribute in my Colossus costumes was meta-epic. :-)
I'm hoping it's something entirely new. And if it's any good, I'll have TWO games for my PS3! Woah!
Agreed. LBP sounded so great on paper, but it wasn't that great in execution IMO. Don't get me wrong.. it was good.. but it jsut wasn't as addictive as I has hoping.
[/sarcasm]
I just hope they don't saturate the LBP franchise.
@stevesan: So, there are videogames that have points? 'At the end of the day' all gaming is pointless. The idea is to have fun; LBP has it in spades.
uncharted 2 is the exception. but I don't want a LBP 2
