PixelJunk gets 50% more content in PSP; never say never for PSP Eden
Who said bringing a PSN title to the PSP means having to deliver everything bite-sized? Developer Q-Games promises to deliver us more bang for the buck with the release of PixelJunk Monsters on the PSP, but whether or not PixelJunk Eden will get the same treatment, we’ve yet to see.
Who said bringing a PSN title to the PSP means having to deliver everything bite-sized? Developer Q-Games promises to deliver us more bang for the buck with the release of PixelJunk Monsters on the PSP.
In an interview with Core Games, Q-Games president Dylan Cuthbert reveals that the PSP version is more than just a port, in fact, they will “are adding 50% more content or more.” Which is cool, considering all the massive content the game already has as a PSN title.
There’s a bit about PixelJunk Eden though, and when asked whether it would also head for the PSP, Cuthbert admits that they may have trouble due to hardware restrictions. Be that as it may, he ends with an optimistic note:
Monsters is a simpler game and therefore easier to get running on the PSP, although a [number] of the environmental special effects will probably have to be removed or toned down. As for Eden though, it actually makes thorough use of the SPUs for the particles and also the physical simulation of the many plants so I think it would be very difficult to port across. Never say never of course, but it would be quite a challenge and a [number] of things might have to be changed.
