Possible Backwards Compatibility for LBP Sequel

For those of you who have been using your creative minds to create the most craziest, awesome, or just plain random levels for Little Big Planet, then good news! In an interview with Alex Evans (co-developer for Little Big Planet), on GamesIndustry.biz , Evans tells that when the time comes to start working on the sequel, he wants to provide players something new that no other developer has provided in a sequel and that is backwards compatibility.

"If you look at online distribution for LBP, when the sequel comes along, what do we do with all that content?" "I think we can give consumers lots of stuff that you couldn't in a traditional game. We can give them backwards compatibility with those levels, and then when you decide on how you're going to sell that to them... all I'm saying is that we've got loads of options open to us..."

Evans has also revealed that they might expand into the editor tools for the customizable levels meaning instead of just creating levels, players will also create their own objects.

I would hope so, after all that investment many have purchased on the PS store...you'd wanna make use of those costumes as well in future iterations.

Yeah like they did with the Singstar patch.... you just load up your PS3 Singstar game eject the disc and then insert a PS2 Singstar game into your PS3 and sing away

That is a good idea. You just look at page upon page of created levels its amazing how much time and effort people put into it. Good thing all the hard work won't be lost
