Sony Details New LittleBigPlanet 3 Characters

This week Sony revealed more about LittleBigPlanet 3‘s new characters.

“We’ve spent a long time working on the characters, not just making sure that they look distinctive but also that they each offer unique gameplay,” said XDev’s Pete Smith. “That, for me, is the big thing. We want people to go ‘Wow, they really change up the game, and I can create totally new experiences with them.'”

He then described the new characters as injecting fresh energy into the series, also saying that they had to ensure that they were still recognizable as silhouettes and were part of the Sackboy family. He then talked about each of the new characters individually:

Swoop

Swoop was the first one we came up with. He has a specific purpose – Swoop can fly, and he can access hard to reach places. One of the most useful things with Swoop is that he can pick things up – objects, but also the other characters, with the exception of ‘big’ Toggle.

Oddsock

Then there’s Oddsock, who’s a four-legged character. He’s not quite a dog; he’s more… well, he’s just an odd sock! Oddsock can wall jump and wall slide, and is really fast.

Toggle

Finally we’ve got Toggle. Toggle can be big, or he can be small. Toggle started off as just one character – big Toggle – but it didn’t quite give you enough combinations, and that’s what LittleBigPlanet really needs.

Unveiled earlier this month at E3 2014, LittleBigPlanet 3 is coming to PS4 in November with a PS3 version to follow at a later date. Rather than being developed by Media Molecule, the series’ original creators, it’s being developed by Sumo Digital, who have previously worked on DLC for LittleBigPlanet 2.

What do you think of LittleBigPlanet 3? Will you be buying it, if you are will you be getting it on PS3 or PS4? Let us know in the comments bellow.
