Just when you thought you knew everything you could about Media Molecule's upcoming world-creator game
LittleBigPlanet, we find something else that blows our minds and makes us anticipate the title even more. In the latest
Edge magazine, it's been revealed that in addition to the emotions and such your sackboy (and sackgirl) can perform, there are plans to lip-synch voice chat. That is to say, the characters will move their mouths in roughly the same way you do (even if not, it's still cool). Down the line, expect stuff like voice filters, too. We think that's a pretty stellar move.
[Thanks, Kane!]

Ha, that's pretty cool. I wonder if the little characters will be big enough to really see that though. Maybe there's some type of zoom feature. I hope they don't do the voice filters though. The original x-box Live had that and, trust me, the service is better served now that voice filtering is gone!

Dude, in 1080p, it'll be very easy to see their mouths moving.

Cool, hopefully it'll be a bit better than in R6 Vegas.

I hope R62 has women models that look like women, as opposed to men. =D

Cool, but, how about they save something for LBP-2, and lets release this gem already. Honestly, I could live without my little guy lip-syncing to my chat.

Unfortunately, this may bring about a whole new era for the Furries. May God have mercy on us all.

Could LBP be a Wii-killing app?
Hmmmm....

That is all sorts of quirky-coolness.

This could be strange hearing some voices synced. Cool but weird.

Also, this game will breathe and sleep for you, and even go to work! No, but that is cool though.

I've said it before: When this game is released - I'll buy a PS3.

This is the reason it is taking so long to release? The features and functions are there. The users will be the ones to create the content and the some of the image textures.
Lip-Syncing? This could've been a patch.
The PS3 needs all the help it can and holding this general-public-happy title presumably to coincide with the HOME release is only hurting the console's potential success.
Now is the time Sony. People are picking up Blu-Ray players. Throw that in already. I say Sony and not Media Molecule because I firmly believe it is Sony sitting on it and not the developer.

I'd rather it be late and right than early and wrong.

maybe they announced it too early? seems like they needed something to get people pumped about the PS3 back in the dark year of 07.

I love all the stuff they keep showing, but it's becoming a long wait.
