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.

yay

Pixeljunk Eden would be great. Pixeljunk Monsters definitely is fun, but it's more like a flash game rather than being a title worth 10 $.

afaik

PSN titles can't be started if they weren't bought. You'd have to buy it by all means. I'm afraid they won't port Eden though, because of all the complications and it wouldn't be worth porting it to the PSP PSN.

seriously?

WiiRolled, I can't believe you just said that. First, every single PSP game gets pirated. Every single game. It doesn't matter if it's on PSN or not (PSN gets downloaded, then eventually shared via websites once it's in ISO/cso format). @sosrandom, why on Earth are you telling noobs where to find it once it's released?

Oh well

Last time I "researched" on that topic, every PSN title required a hardware specific key file. I didn't know pirates already manged to break that protection
