Loads of LittleBigPlanet Details!

LittleBigPlanet Central has posted a ton of new information about the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive, LittleBigPlanet. At Comic-Con 2008, LittleBigPlanet Central had gigunda 1 hour and 30 minutes of hands-on time with the game. Here's some new details:

Character Customization

• There are a huge amount of customizable items, from hats to glasses to shoes to pants to zebra outfits and everything in between.
• There is a Tron suit you can wear in the game, along with a killzone helmet and mask.
• Not only that, but there are about 25 different materials and designs that you can choose to have your sackboy made out of, including 3 types of camo.
• There are held items that you can choose from, such as a wooden sword and a magic wand(a stick with a star on the top). You can’t use them as weapons, but when you slap while holding an item you hit them with said item.
• You can slap just about any kind of sticker you can think of on your sackboy, so you can essentially make your own designs

Emoting

• Emoting is awesome. Using the d-pad, you can select three different degrees of sadness, anger, happiness, and fear. For example, you press up to smile, press it again to smile big, and press it again to be ecstatic with your tongue hanging out.
• If you hold R2, the right stick becomes a controller for your right hand. The same goes for L2, the left stick, and the left hand.
• The sixaxis controls which direction your head is facing, and it was surprisingly intuitive.
• If you click and hold L3, the sixaxis controls your hips instead of your head.
• Using a combination of these, I made my guy do a pretty kickass hula dance. I forced him to do it, though, so he was pretty scared at the time.

X-Play's All Access with LittleBigPlanet

Too bad LittleBigPlanet got delayed. Hopefully, X-Play's All Access preview of the highly-anticipated game should satisfy your creative mind in the meantime.

LittleBigPlanet Delayed; Available in October

Yesterday at the PlayStation Day Conference in Britian, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced that LittleBigPlanet won't be released in September, but October instead. Thanks to Eurogamer for the tip!
