When a game is successful these days, a sequel is often the inevitable order of the day. But even though they are working on a PlayStation Portable version of LittleBigPlanet, Media Molecule doesn't feel that following the path of ever-increasing numbers to a full-blown sequel would serve them well.

"I think what you've seen so far from LittleBigPlanet, that's the way it's going to continue," Producer Martin Lynagh told UK website Critical Gamer for an upcoming interview, referring to the downloadable content and existing updates that the current game has been receiving.

"We'd never want to do that," added level designer Danny Leaver, who feels that such a move would fragment the development community. "That'd be the most counterproductive thing you could do I think."

It is a rare but nice thing to see a developer focusing on improving the current game, rather than rushing another sequel out the door to retail. And it sounds like the same mindset Left 4 Dead fans wish Valve had. And yet, I would bet there are still those who would accuse Media Molecule of shipping an incomplete game and charging for the extra pieces.
