Over at the SCEE Playstation Day in London, Kaz Hirai announced that LittleBigPlanet is finally going to makes its way onto consoles in October. Not only that, but Home is also due to be released towards the end of this year.
LittleBigPlanet has been in development by Media Molecule (the guys responsible for Rag Doll Kung Fu) for quite some time, and was officially announced at GDC 2007. The game mixes co-op platforming with a touch of Gary's Mod: players work through physics-based platforming puzzles with the help of their friends. An incredibly robust level creation and online sharing tool will ensure that the gorgeous game lasts well after release.
Home is, of course, Sony's social-networking service for the console, which many people see as a more polished version of Second Life; it was also announced at GDC 2007. "Our confidence in Home has not wavered... As great as it currently is, it needs a little more time," Hirai stated during the event. Those interested in testing out the software will eventually be able to register for the Home Beta here.
