LittleBigPlanet is one of the most innovative titles of the generation thus far, and the guys at Media Molecule aren't about to sit back and bask in the glow of their accomplishments. Why do that when you can continue to innovate?
You can do a great many things in LBP and the upcoming Game of the Year Edition will allow newcomers to experience $30 worth of extra downloadable content (and that's hardly everything that's available on the PlayStation Store). But what is this game still missing…? That's right: water. If you're a fan of SackBoy and Co., head on over and sign up for a position in the LittleBigPlanet Water beta test. There's a video there for you to watch and as you can see, we'll be swimming, piloting boats around, and in general, just having a grand ol' time splashing around in all-new environments. If you really think about it, the water-based possibilities are almost endless, and we can only imagine how far Media Molecule can go with this new idea. To be considered for a spot in the beta, just give them your e-mail address and PSN ID, and hopefully, you'll get all wet with other testers when the time comes. We'll be on the lookout for release details concerning this new kit; it might be available for a late holiday purchase.
Who needs a sequel to LBP? They can just keep building on that foundation for a very, very long time.

Already submitted my application! I hope I get in, my Life Aquatic level with Steve "Sackboy" Zissou is just missing water =D
Cool, I just signed up.
SUBMITTED !! that looks to be really fun. i didnt ever think about the fact that water was missing until now.
I can't wait! i just signed up! LBP IS MY FAV GAME THIS GEN!
Really?
It's certainly one of the best.
Yeh it actually is, i love playing it with my 2 sisters and my mom.
Dayyum… I guess you can pack pretty much anything into DLC these days. Good on MediaMolecule for adding this. Can't wait to try this mother out.
I wonder how big this update will be, I mean if it is too big then I may just buy the GOTY one. With my old one, I may just give it to a pal.
Hopefully this is included with the GOTY edition.
Thanks for the heads-up, just signed up.
hehehhehehheheeeheehee!!!
Going to sign up, but it says you need a masters account. How do you create a masters account?
By faking your age at sign up
LBP FTW!!! O_o

Wow uh,…why is everyone down thumbing this dude, jeez ppl get a life..
Thanks wolf but, im an opinionated fellow and some people dont respect that….and they also seem to concentrate on my avetar….hmmm.
Doesn't affect me though and i will continue to share my opinions and respect others
Nice addition. My wife will love it. She loves this game.
its a fantastic looking title, but i got bored of the gameplay rather quickly. Maybe its just me and getting bored of games eventually. LBP then Ultra Bomberman, now I'm addicted to Fat Princess…
I'm in the same boat man. I still play it occasionally but after making a few levels that took me weeks to complete, I just got tired of it. Nobody really plays my levels anyways 😛 I am however excited about this addition.
You two need friends
LBP is no doubt the best party game this gen. Endless fun in endless levels.
You make the game what you want to make of it.
lol well I have friends, and it's the only reason I still have the game.
ahhhh awesome, cheers for posting the link guys 😀
Thanks for the heads up Ben! =)
Awesome. Just signed up and hope that we get picked. Between the kids and myself, they'd get hours and hours of testing a day. As was asked earlier, and I did notice that in the video, what else is going to be in that kit? Any clues?
LBP is great but it needs a whole lot of TIME.
Ben I know you feel the same way, since you haven't mentioned LBP ever since the Amy-Courtney incident 😉
For some reason i got this game thinking it was going to be awesome but i hated it. I traded it for Call Of Duty: World at War. Hopefully the PSP version will be easy to play and not complicated.
What was complicated about it?
It says I can't sign up!!! I used my master account and everything!!! Blegh looks like I'll just have to wait for the kits release (T_T)
The following errors were encountered= you are not authorized to blah blaah blaaah it won't let me sign up (T_T) its a sad day for a sackfan ):
I would but I don't have LBP until Sept when the GOY edition comes out.
can't wait because quite frankly i'm sick of using glass cut-outs lol… water opens a whole new world of ideas… i've been wanting to do a pirate level but, it just never looked good nor worked well… this is probably the solution to my problem…
Just signed up. I hope that I will get picked.
P.S: It seems that that Sega RPG teased awhile ago was Phantasy Star 2 Portable.
awesome.
guess Media Molecule figured out you cant have a living planet without water
Wait, do u need the full game to play this beta? Cuz I sorta let someone else have mine. I was in the original LBP beta so I'd like to make it 2 for 2.
I just submit my application, but if they based it on LBP trophies, then they probably won't choose me, haha
So some surfing should be possible, that would be cool.
So pleased to see MM's intentions are to keep adding to LBP rather than cashing in on LBP2. The paintinator already added a lot to the game, and water definitely would. Other developers might be tempted to save such ideas for a sequel.
This way the community stays big, and that's the most important thing for me. I trade about 80% of my games but wouldn't consider trading LBP because I can play different community levels every day.
What the hell?!!! water ?!
They haven't even enabled the Play, create,share system and it hasn't even got online edit yet this is August 2009 how long will I freakin wait for Media Module to buy a room full of servers!!! its getting ridiculous
But at least you're looking on the bright-side…
lmfao.
Ben, you're the man!
I would've so missed this if not for this article!
I'm such a big fan of lbp, heck played it for 2+ hours today with a friend.
Thrilled to go swimming!
they need to make it possible to stand on each other and jump from each others head for an extra boost
That's exactly what this game needs, some serious teamwork capabilities 😀
But that would upset the perfect balance in most of the levels.
The trailer put a huge smile on my face, something this game is somehow able to do to me on a consistent basis. I'm very much looking forward to this feature and to the slew of fantastically entertaining levels sure to pop up almost overnight.
Pirates vs Ninjas… on water bitches! lol
