Lionhead boss thinks LittleBigPlanet could be PS3’s first defining game

Peter Molyneux thinks that the PlayStation 3 has yet to get its own defining games, those triple-A titles that represent the console. The Lionhead boss believes that Media Molecule‘s LittleBigPlanet could have what it takes to be the first one, though.

Peter Molyneux thinks that the PlayStation 3 has yet to get its own defining games, those triple-A titles that represent the console. The Lionhead boss believes that Media Molecule‘s LittleBigPlanet could have what it takes to be the first one, though.

“Yeah it could be,” said Molyneux when asked by VideoGamer if LittleBigPlanet could be the PS3’s defining title. “The honest answer is without actually playing it it’s very hard to say. But looking at it, as I said, it’s something that looks different, it’s something that, whenever I speak to anyone who’s touched it they always come away really excited and you do get that sense of excitement from that.”

We’ve heard a lot of good things said about LittleBigPlanet, and the game has built up quite a bit of buzz in the gaming community. We’ll see if it lives up to expectations when it hits shelves on October 21, which, coincidentally, is also when Molyneux’s Xbox 360 exclusive Fable 2 launches.
