[Entrevista] John Koller: LBP, GH y RB es Posible

So you all probably know about the rumors and speculation surrounding this whole LittleBigPlanet PSP reincarnation, in some form or other - but what does Sony PSP brand manager John Koller have to say about it? Talking to MTV Multiplayer, he didn't deny it, he didn't confirm it either; but quite frankly, he says it's possible because LBP is PlayStation-friendly, overall.


LittleBigPlanet is so expansionary. I think the developer’s really concentrating on right now making sure that the launched product is everything it could be and can be. We’re watching the UGC [user generated content] and seeing how that’s playing out. But for the future, I think certainly, we’d look at a wide variety of opportunities. Whether that’s the PSP or not, I can’t really say. We certainly look at LittleBigPlanet franchise as a going forward franchise for us, and that speaks to the PlayStation brand overall.


Don't blink just yet. Aside from that, Koller also dropped some hints stating that the Rock Band and Guitar Hero franchises may also find themselves on PSP gamers' hands in the future.


It’s of huge interest to us. That’s something you’d really have to talk to the developers on that side [if] it’s going to happen or not. For us, we look at the music area as being critical for PSP and the social area of interest as well. PSP is a lot different than your traditional handheld product and music is the number two use on the PSP, behind gaming. So, the marrying of those two concepts is of huge interest to us, and if there’s that opportunity to launch a title like that or even a new title that utilizes music in some way, then obviously we’re very interested.
