Sony announced during their E3 press conference that they will be releasing a huge update for LittleBigPlanet 2 soon, and this update will allow for cross platform play of the title between the PS3 and the PS Vita.

You will be able to use the PS Vita as a controller while playing LittleBigPlanet 2, being able to use both, the front touchscreen and the rear touchpad.

This new update will also add extra costumes, stickers and an all new story mode to the game. Way to go, Sony, giving us extra content for free along with a new way to play! No, seriously, hats-off.

No specific release date was given, but Jack Tretton announced that it will be coming out ‘later this year.’

We’re pretty sure this is a test run for when Sony releases the PS Vita version of LittleBigPlanet, which is already in development.

Stay tuned for more info, we’ll keep you updated.

Titled, Storyline, the trailer shows off the game’s story and how Sackboy joins an alliance in order to save his world from “The Negativitron”.

The trailer also has some other interesting stuff, including the use of digital puppetry in the game.

LBP 2 releases next week in and is exclusive to PS3.

Enjoy the video above.

Alright, now the beta for Little Big Planet 2 is really helping out the games development as well as its promotion.  We have got Little Big Planet 2 Sports Edition.  Ok, not really an edition but, just to see what has already been done with the beta alone is amazing, making the games full release really stand out as a true sequel expanding on everything the first game had and more.  Little Big Planet 2 will be out January 18, 2011 exclusively for the Playstation 3.

Don’t play it if you’re nauseous.

A beta player going by the name of “Raphael” has made a Wolfestein 3D clone using all but LBP 2’s tools.

The video shows you a level which looks out of Wolf 3D, only that if it was designed to give you headaches and deter you from playing the game. On the brighter side, it’s just a work in progress right now and does more than enough to show off LBP 2’s powerful creation tools.

LittleBigPlanet 2 releases in Jan next year. Enjoy the video.

The video shows some great platforming sections, that are really fun to look at, and will definitely be even more so when played, as opposed to LBP1, which had kind of clunky platforming sections.

Check out the new footage below:

A special collector’s edition, priced at $79.99, will also debut the very same day. The special edition will include a plush Sackboy toy, LittleBigPlanet 2 ‘game ends,’  and eleven in game costumes.

For those who preorder, there will be special in game goodies available from a variety of entertainment firms, including Insomniac, Pixar and Disney.

Sony declined to comment on the game’s release in the rest of the world, though we’re sure that it’ll be around the same time.
