It was always going to be a struggle squeezing everything from the PS3 version of LBP into the PSP version. Something had to give. Turns out that something is multiplayer.
âThe one thing weâve lost is multiplayer,â Sonyâs Mark Green told Eurogamer. âYouâve got full physics systems, you got full create mode, youâve got all the aspects of LittleBigPlanet â you can upload, download, ad-hoc share with people â but we havenât got multiplayerâ.
âItâs a trade-offâ, he elaborates. âThe system is physically capable of doing multiplayer, but perhaps not with the full physics system. On the technical side of things you lose a third of the processing power or a third of the system memory just to do multiplayer at all. With those limitations we couldnât achieve it.â
Hey, fine by us. Couldnât really see multiplayer being as viable on the PSP anyway.
