LittleBigWatch: Media Molecule make History

The latest sticker/costume pack coming to LittleBigPlanet on August 13th is one that seems more deliberately aimed at helping inspire player creativity (versus recent overtly-licensed/crosspromoting content): a History Pack, which will include nearly 150 stickers, new music, objects, materials, and decorations based on Oriental, Arabic, Egyptian, Gothic, Roman, Celtic, and Native American styles. This time, the entire kit will be wrapped in its own showcase level, as above.

Alongside that, this set of diverse costumes from Celtic queen Boudica (who led Britons against an occupying Roman Empire [I'm not going to pretend I didn't have to wiki that]) and Ada Lovelace, the "world's first computer programmer", to Mozart and Genghis Kahn.

Consider this, then, the rough equivalent of a generic "castle/city" Lego set: new, blank building blocks for your creations, rather than trying to retro-fit Harry Potter and Star Wars bricks into your own design.

I have to get something off my chest... I don't really like Little Big Planet. Sorry!

The community seemed a little iffy this spring as it went through some growing pains, but it's matured and there's some great user content out there. These new sets should help keep the ideas flowing.

Now if they'd just add that long-promised, real-time internet collaboration...
