While surfing (not literally) the web I saw one PSP related article in Gamespot's GDC section. It was about LocoRoco 2 and I knew I had to check it out. The article ended up being about Sony's trophy system for the PS3 Home concept. I had to scan the article a bit to find anything about LocoRoco 2, but here's what was said "The awards shown off by Harrison included statuettes for the PlayStation Store games LocoRoco 2 and Super Rub-a-Dub, as well as a Hellghast villain from the forthcoming PS3 Killzone preserved like a heavily armored pheasant under glass."

To me the inclusion of LocoRoco 2 in the PS3 Home trophy room means one or more of three possible things to me:

1. LocoRoco 2 is in fact coming to PS3
2. LocoRoco 2 is coming to both PSP & PS3
3. The trophy system is being extended to not just PS3, but also PSP

I personally think regardless of whether LocoRoco 2 is coming to PS3, there will be something LocoRoco related in PSP's future. I also believe that if Sony has the kind of success with Home that I think they will, they'll extend at least parts of that experience to PSP. Does anyone else agree with me, or am I a mad man?

PS- I can be both a mad man and you can agree with me if you choose.

IGN seems to think Phil Harrison accidentally announced LocoRoco 2. Their proof? Let me quote their article, "When asked what he has been playing on other platforms, Harrison said he has enough to play on the PS3 and PSP. But he said he was playing 'LocoRoco's next version on the way' to the Q&A. Harrison didn't provide details, but the fact that he was playing the game on the go would mean it will arrive on the PSP."

I suppose that's one way to interpret it, but I personally think he was talking about the LocoRoco Mobile, that has already been announced. After all, the question that brought on the LocoRoco answer was about other platforms, ie not PSP or PS3. It also seems unlikely he'd mention a high profile sequel in passing. We're sure LocoRoco 2 is in the works since they want to continue the franchise, but we're still waiting for the official announcement of another PSP go around. Let's hope that it comes soon!

Sony Computer Entertainment President Phil Harrison recently spoke to MTV News, and made a startling revelation about the PSP exclusive LocoRoco. "It was a very successful game for us and we're continuing to evolve the franchise," he said. "We're going to bring 'LocoRoco' back in a couple of new ways with some new friends in the future."

LocoRoco and Friends. Sounds like a sequel to me. Considering how many new levels the development team has created for the holidays, it seems like there's still a lot more LocoRoco to come.
