LittleBigPlanet 3 was a surprise at Sony's E3 media briefing last week, if not for its unannounced presence then for its addition of three new characters.
Previous LittleBigPlanet games have starred sackboys and sackgirls with customizable appearances but identical playstyles. LittleBigPlanet 3 will introduce new characters with unique new mechanics.
Pete Smith of Sony XDev said on the PlayStation Blog that a much care was taken to make the characters feel like additions to the sack family rather than strange new textile beasts.
On the other hand, each one needed to have its own distinct silhouette and set of abilities.
"Once you play the Oddsock levels and start nailing your jumps, it's really fluid and much quicker than the familiar LBP gameplay," Smith said "It's a very different experience - we didn't just want him to be Sackboy on four legs, we wanted him to be his own unique character."
Swoop can fly and carry objects or other characters while he does so. He can't pick up Toggle in his heavier form, though:
"What we like in LBP is that we want everything to be very intuitive, so when he's big he's strong and heavy, and when he's small he's light and quick - it's obvious. When you play the game it feels really natural - you'll instantly know where to use him, and it brings in a nice puzzle element."
