History Trivia / LittleBigPlanet

* RoleReprisal:

* {{Vaporware}}: ''[=LittleBigPlanet=] HUB'', a free-to-play installment in the ''[=LittleBigPlanet=]'' series, was announced back in 2013. Whenever [[WordOfGod Steven Isbell]] was asked about it, he responded that the team was working on the Creator/DCComics DLC (in 2013) or [=LittleBigPlanet=] 3 (in 2014) or that there was just no new info. Content from that game later appeared in [=LBP3's=] Seaside Surprise DLC in 2016, and the Challenges feature that was set to make an appearance in ''HUB'' was added to [=LBP3=] in an update, making it highly unlikely that the game is still a thing.
* TheWikiRule:There used to be [[http://wiki.lbpcentral.com/LBPWiki_Main one on LBPCentral]], but it's been down for some time. In the meantime, [[http://littlebigplanet.wikia.com/wiki/LittleBigPlanet_Wiki there's also one on Wikia]].

*** The first world had its own hub world, called Stitchem Green. It was a rural town, run by a Mayor Cow. More characters are present, with a mix of the cardboard people and Sackbots as NPCs.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er8nZjItUSg&app=desktop The third game]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bix_KFZS8iU has a lot of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdpyHY1awd4 interesting changes]] [[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgN6T55pfEUbetween the Alpha]] and the final. Some of which includes:
*** Newton was voiced by Creator/RikMayall, and was constantly using the model that [[DemonicPossession Evil Newton]] uses in the final. Here, he's evil from the beginning, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments with him gifting Sackboy a portrait of himself on a winners podium, above Sackboy and a cactus.]] In fact, it's much more clear that Newton's flying device in this version is a can opener, as more detail is given to it. He also supposedly enslaved a bunch of generic Sackpeople to run machines in the Ziggurat. It's likely his character was rewritten due to AuthorExistanceFailure.

*** The Stitchem Manor guardian originally didn't get destroyed after the first boss, it actually rised out of the ground after its fight for more action...[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments until a teacup slammed down on its head.]] Cue RecordScratchcratch.

** ''The Next Big Thing'' for the first game.

** ''LittleBigPlanet Unstitched'' for the Vita game.

** [[http://youtu.be/ggeLI0NMlfI This]] trailer for an early version of [=LBP3=] showcases a lot of differences of the final game, such as different levels and areas, a powerup called "The Brolly" that lets Sackboy glide and ride on ziplines, a different look for Velociporters, a currency in the form of Buttons that can be given to a weird creature called "The Spiv" in exchange for items, a different quest log, new [=NPCs=] that didn't make it into the game, and a noticeable lack of the 3 new playable characters that were introduced in the game proper.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: ''[[Series/ABitOfFryAndLaurie Fry and Laurie]]'' reunite in the third game, where Creator/StephenFry provides narration and Creator/HughLaurie voices Newton.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afjZUFRNLqc The first]] level seen in the video was originally supposed to be a part of the final boss fight in the second game.

** In the third game, the Ziggurat was originally going to have its own Contraption Challenge where you build a boat. The character from it was the Marina costume.
