LBP2 will ship with Move-enabled levels

LittleBigPlanet 2 will ship with a series of PS Move-enabled levels on the game disc, but actual Move level creation won’t come until after the game launches.

“Right now, players can use the Direct Control Seat to decide how the Sixaxis affects your level, and we’d like to do the same thing for the Move,” Evans told Joystiq at E3 last week. “We have something like that internally, but it’s not fully built. We’re working with another studio to help us prototype out what Move could be, and those levels will be on the disc at launch, to show players what they’ll be able to build.”

However, PS Move support won’t be part of the creation tool set until after launch.

“What we’ll do after launch is release a patch, we’ll add the creative tools, so what we’ll do is put these Move levels on the disc at launch, which, most people play LittleBigPlanet, and not everyone wants to create. But give us a little bit more time, we’ll put the create tools in, and then the community can run with Move.”

Evans concluded: “We didn’t want to set a low bar with it, and tack it on the side. We wanted it to be a fully fledged citizen like the Sixaxis.”

LittleBigPlanet 2 is scheduled for release later this year, only on PS3.
