Over on the LittleBigPlanet forums, Mark Healey from Media Molecule answered a few questions regarding LittleBigPlanet’s weather, water and effects.
"You can set fire to pretty much anything, you can also make things ‘electrified’, or turn them to gas, which is very cool, " said Healey. "By water, I assume you mean ‘real water’ that acts like real water does! This isn’t in the initial release, but we have some cool ideas for how to integrate it into a possible future DLC — of course, it will have a slight LBP twist to it… There is fog that you can tweak, and you could pretty easily fake a thunderstorm with the right sound effect objects and some ‘emitted’ rain drops or something."
There’s the answer: weather will be as good as you can make it. We’ll have more for you on LittleBigPlanet as it happens.
