GC 2007: Mario, Katamari Possible in LittleBigPlanet

Remember these old sketches from a while back showing concepts of LittleBigPlanet characters? Well, you can actually make these guys in the full game, even that little Italian plumber.

"That was just early concept art," creative director Mark Healey informed CVG, "but you can customise your character so much that that's entirely possible." Our LBP character's going to have a nice set of Master Chief armour then...

Healey said it's completely possible since you can add to your character from images directly off the hard-drive so basically anything is possible.

GC 2007: Whats So Great About Tony Hawk's Proving Ground?

QJ.NET's breakdown of the video:

If you've been listening to the man, you'd know that emphasis has been placed into this iteration's career mode as well as its controls. Analog sticks will be used to control arms, making tricks more realistic and opening up countless possibilities. The career mode, on the other hand, will offer countless customization options and a non-linear path to stardom. Styles will definitely matter as you custom-build your athlete and get him primed for the extreme.
