MotorStorm: Arctic Edge really does push the machine. WeÂ’ve got more physics and damage and destruction going on than most other games on the system. As to whether thereÂ’s more that can be squeezed out; most definitely. WeÂ’ve been working with the hardware now for a good few years and weÂ’re still finding ways that we can squeeze more out of it.

As long as you take a sensible view on what you’re trying to achieve then there aren’t really any major constraints when translating a PS3 game to PSP. The main area to deal with is the graphics and visuals – we have to use lower resolution textures and less polygons in our models, but in such a way that it’s still going to look great on the small screen. Really, nothing else needs to be compromised that much, at least not in the player’s perception of the final product.
