According to joystiq’s Christopher Grant, Sony is trying to come up with a Bungie.net style community website for its games. During Christopher’s visit to Sony’s Pre-E3 Judge’s Event in LA, he noticed a recurring phrase in his handbook and that phrase was community website. it’s possible that Sony will make this happen.

LittleBigPlanet – While they’re “not decided yet” on exactly how to integrate the game into a community website, if any mechanic seems ripe for such a project, rankings and stats for LBP’s user-generated content seem like a sure bet.

Killzone 2 – There already is a my.killzone.com site for Killzone: Liberation, but adding “rankings and statistics” for Killzone 2 is the plan.

SOCOM: Confrontation – They plan on launching a community site – think “My SOCOM” – on SOCOM.com. There’s nothing there now, and MySOCOM.com is taken.

Motorstorm: Pacific Rim – The Motorstorm representative wasn’t very interested in providing any details, but she told us that they would have a “community website” as well.

Resistance 2 – Insomniac has perhaps the most ambitious plans for community content, dedicating an entire development team to the task. They’re “overhauling” MyResistance.net, adding things along the lines of “facebook-like features.”

So Sony gamers can look forwards to having community style website for their favourite games. Seems like a good idea and look forwards to seeing the sites.
