LittleBigPlanet 3's exclusive content on PS4 has been discussed by developer Sumo Digital.

The creative platfomer sequel, which will launch on both PS3 and PS4 later this month, will come with a revamped Netflix-inspired interface for browsing community levels.

The design will move away from the list-like layout of previous games, and on the back-end, will be able to surface more relevant content to users.

PS4 owners can also exclusively view and attach 30-second videos to listings to give potential players a heads-up on what to expect before they download.

"[The interface is a] little bit more intelligent in surfacing stuff that we think you might be interested in," lead designer Jonathan Christian told Digital Spy.

"That's all server driven as well - as we see what the community is doing with it, and what they're looking for out of that system, can be all updated on the fly."



PS4 users will also have access to additional creation tools, such as an Interactive Live Stream Sensor for making Twitch Plays Pokemon-style levels, where audiences can interact with stages by giving specific commands.

"You can create a level and you can define keywords that the level could respond to, so when it's being broadcast, the level triggers things," Christian explained.

"The chip accepts five keywords, and you can have multiple versions of the chip. As you go through the level, you can change that up and change the keywords, and basically, over whatever time period you set, the most popular vote will get a logic signal, and then you can trigger what you like off that.

"You could put it on a Sackbot, and you can command up - left, down, jump, whatever - and then wire those into those actions, and the audience will be controlling that Sackbot. You can imagine the possibilities of that are quite mindblowing."

Elsewhere, the PS4 version will offer touch pad functionality that allows players to paint in a more "tactile" way, while the entire game will run at a higher resolution of 1080p over the PS3's 720p.

Both versions will be able to read saved profiles from the previous games, with PS4 reading the user's online LittleBigPlanet profile, or a local save on PS3, offering previously unlocked items.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that previous content - including purchased costumes - will be available to download in the sequel.

The sequel will feature new playable characters such as OddSock, Swoop and Toggle, with each character having their own special ability. Swoop, for example, will be able to fly, while Toggle can switch between big and small sizes.

Stephen Fry will return as the game's narrator, while Hugh Laurie will play the game's villain.

LittleBigPlanet 3 will launch on November 26 in Europe and November 18 in North America.
