Cursing the sky abound as PS3 awesome-o looking title, LittleBigPlanet is delayed until late 2008.
If the release schedules in Electronic Gaming Monthly (or EGM, as they like to be called) are to be believed, the much hyped game has indeed been delayed until much later next year.
It’s not all that bad though. What with Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4 coming out next year, it’s hardly like there will be a drought of exclusive, kick ass titles to get down and dirty with. And then there are the multi-platform games like GTA IV, Battlefield 2 Bad Company, and Burnout Paradise to look forward to.
Either way, LittleBigPlanet could be set to rock some televisions next Christmas.
Stay tuned.

How stupid can they be? this is arguably the most anticipated game for the ps3 for all of 08 and they delay it? Even if you dont care, this is a major hit for sony at least for the next 8 months. The stupid programmers are probably working 4 hour days. this totally sucks....

Will people please stop over reacting until an official statement has been made. So far only EGM and the sites repeating EGM's supposed date snafu, are saying this.

they should just stop announcing release dates for PS3 games. i understand its for the better but when arguably the top 3 PS3 games to look forward to next year (LBP, MGS4, KZ2) all get pushed back its just flat out frustrating, but i'll live becuz theres still a handful of AAA titles due out between now and April. But PS3 devs, in the future please try and be just a little bit more realistic with your release dates.

I retract previous statement.
"From around September or October, the PS3 will move into top gear: that’s when Killzone 2 will arrive, to truly take first-person shooters into the next-gen era. And – more excitingly in my book – when LittleBigPlanet – will arrive. Again, LBP will provide an unknown gameplay experience – firstly, because it is so unlike any other game and, secondly, because it will be up to us to define the gameplay. As the new video of LBP shows, it’s going to look amazing – we’ll get the whole low-down from developer Media Molecule next year (currently, they’ve got their heads down and are cracking on with finishing it)." -12/13/07

no, this is NOT an official statement so there may be some hope, but if its true and they dont say anything more about its delay, i think it would be right to say "has anyone noticed that almost every game that gets delayed, the company who makes it has never actually explained WHY they delayed it?" i was looking forward to this to, PS-DELAY-3 its sad but wat can we do...................

They are delaying it in order to make it SUPERB; by how the PS3 sales are now they dont need to rush the game. Sony is trying to make this game good enough that makes the PS3 sell more than the wii in a weekly basis. With MGS4 they will be outselling the 360

A lot of you guys are really just over reacting. So LBP gets delayed, who cares? We'll all be playing so many more games untill then you'll end up forgetting about it untill it comes out and you'll be like, "Oh yeah, I guess It's fall already." I mean we have Killzone 2, Haze, Burnout Paradise, GTA IV, DMC4, Tekken 6, Soul Caliber 4, MGS4...I could go on and on. The point is, It's just ONE of our 08 games being delayed, we still have PLENTY more to play in the mean time.

I've forementioned it a few months ago that the likelihood of playing this game won't be until fall next year along with KZ2. And Home...probably not until mid next year with some technical difficulties requiring patches asap! AAA titles aren't AAA games until they play like it! Well, atleast late spring/summer is a season to look forward to...in the US!!! 8E

I also think PSU should have slapped some kind of rumor sticker to the article's title. A lot of people read the title and don't bother actually reading the article.

Now i am starting to wonder if the delay of the games is really the fault of the developer. Maybe this game is in working condition. Maybe its SONY telling the to hold it off. I think there is alot of PR coming up, and SONY does not want big titles overlapping each other. I mean think about it, you have so many awesome products coming out, but your afraid one of them might overlap another. Well why not take a risk and spread the release dates out evenly, and see more money from one person (Being the fact, that one person "being the consumer" would of gotten tired of the other game and wants a new one. Just MAYBE thats what it might be, but hey i don't know, im just a regular guy who thinks the delay of games are due to PR purposes. It would be creepy if its true.

For people complaing about delayed titles I want you to rack you memory and remember the titles that came out early on the PS3.... there are a few. Chances are most wouldn't know it because they are only focused on the negative. breathe people the world isn't over. Its best to release a finished product because if they didn't we would probably get another thread on here about how games shouldn't have patches and ship incomplete.
You cant have it both ways. You want quality, give the devs time. You want product now? don't complain when it has to recieve numerous patches.
