Trophies confirmed for LittleBigPlanet

Plus: plans for beta still on track.

Media Molecule's David Smith has confirmed trophies will feature in LittleBigPlanet - and offered a hint at what you can expect.

During a live text interview with Eurogamer Smith said, "We've been having a lot of fun working out what trophies most fit our game. Because we have this catchphrase of 'Play, Create, Share', the trophies (and indeed some of the other scoring systems) reflect this."

He was responding to a question from reader 'will.', who wrote, "Personally, I'm looking out for 'Rocket sack - launch your sackboy into the heavens!'"

Smith co-founder replied, "One of the trophies is close to what you've suggested - for somehow making your sackperson be thrown at some huge velocity. You'll probably need to make a machine using the create tools."

Earlier on in the interview, Smith confirmed LittleBigPlanet is down for an October release and said there are still plans for a beta trial. Read the full live text interview for more.
