Yeah that game deserves a thread on its own.
I think I watched the trailer 4/5 times because it was so cool looking and to see what physics were going on.
I hope there is a way to save a level in a current state that you can reset , so you can have stunt jumping/racing competitions with your friends etc. I think people will come up with some pretty cool ideas.

Agreed.
The game is awesome!
I would like to see viewtiful joe with a gfx like that.
But the key factor IMO is the user's content and community. The game replay will be huge.
It's a publisher/developer relationship, I guess what some consider 'second party'.
The 'sharing' video has some neat time lapse footage of the creation aspect, showing some more of that..like how to make a volcano, angling off corners of a block etc. It's really cool.
Easily my most wanted game right now by a fair margin.
Much like Insomniac then?
I hope it's a long and fruitful relationship, as I could get used to this type of game.

The first game to capitalise on Sony's vision for ultra-connected user-driven games is Media Molecule's first party game LittleBigPlanet.

There is a Gamespot article about this subject: link
It seems they pitched the idea to Sony when it was till just a 2D prototype with stick figures. But Sony got excited and basically fully funded the development of it as a full game.
Where can I find the sharing video? I wasn't interested in the PS3 much, but this game has definitely changed my mind. If this team is going to be a PS3 exclusive, it's something I'll be watching very closely.
It is like Ninja Theory(2nd party), they are exclusive to PS3. I see on develomag that they are first party but I'm not sure. They are PS3 exclusive for sure.

I think it's a case of different terminology from different people. Some people consider anything Sony publishes to be first party, regardless of whether the company is owned by them or not. I'd often refer to their "first party publishing portfolio" myself, referring to all games in the stable. I don't think Sony bought Media Molecule though.
You can catch it on this page. It's the same clip they showed at the conference at the end of the LBP segment, but direct feed.
I was hoping these guys would remain in the PC space ... Damn you, Sony. Damn you!
A big benefit to LittleBigPlanet apears t be the motion controls of sixaxis, Watch the full presentation and towards the end, Phil takes a bow with his controller. That'd contribute a huge amount to the seen versatility of the dolls. Leg stick for arms, right stick for legs (or whatever it is) and motion control for leaning etc.
Technically, I want to know how they've implemented the motion blur, which looks flawless in the trailers. They've also got excellent texture sampling. Looking at the lighting, there's a feel of GI there which I'd like explained too. Have they got some simple AO engine running? The game itself is 2.5 D, and the physics engine is 2D, so that's quite simple and straightforward. An excellent choice too from a design POV. It keeps content creation and gameplay simple, and encourages the idea of 2D cutouts which contribute so much to the art direction.
