Kazunori Yamauchi has recently talked about the problems with budgets when it comes to creating epic titles for the PSP…

Kazunori Yamauchi, Producer of the Gran Turismo series has recently talked about the troubles of porting Gran Turismo 4 to the Sony PSP.

In regards to the actual conversion, Yamauchi-san claimed that development is fairly straightforward as the specification of the PSP is close to the Playstation2; however he claimed that because handheld titles need to be sold for less, that the overall development budget of a PSP title is considerably less then a Playstation2 title.

As such Yamauchi-san signals a warning to those wanting to create epic titles for the PSP that would be more akin to home console titles on the Playstation2.

Certainly this brings up a valid point and is likely to be important when it comes to the development decisions of PSP titles.

"without having to condense or cut anything"? umm yeah, no career mode, or online play, in my book that's called cutting something.

Bought the game today, and I dont mind a lot of content missing in the mobile version... but why on earth is it NOT possible to have small competitions?!?!? I dont see any reason to leave out events like that... I must say, I'm dissapointed and 40 euros lighter

Maybe they're reserving infrastructure mode for the sequel. It took Polyphony Digital long enough to add online multiplayer in the home console series and dito for car damage. The PSP2 will probably be released before either of those features come to the handheld versions. Still, Polyphony Digital is an awesome developer nonetheless.

Nope you've only got ad-hoc - bit of a shame and a missed opportunity, can't understand why develoeprs don't support infrastructure...
