Wondering why is infrastructure multiplayer so hard for PSP developers make?

Can anyone tell me? Since they can make it for PS2 and etc but they just won't it for many games for the PSP. They only include Ad Hoc which is not as convenient as infrastructure.

How I wish that the bad translation that says infrastructure multiplayer will be available for MH2G is true.

maybe because they have to run their own servers and that costs alot of money. Most people don't even use infastructure on games that do have it T.T so its not worth it to pay forthe servers.

PS2 has way more larger userbase, so it is worth it to pay for servers. MHF2G will most likely have infastructure since its the best selling psp game 1 million and a half sold.

really many psp online games have little to no people playing them Marvel ultimative alliance, xmen legends 2, fightnight round 3, outrun 2006, warhammer 40000, test drive, untold legends 2 all have online play be few to no player.

Ad-hor is great if you have friends with a psp and the game.

If people supported it more and proved it was worth it developers would include it. everybody say they want it but nobody is online playing.

B-bad

I agree with this guy

i don't think it is "hard" (i couldn't do it myself though) but they need to invest more money to include the infrastructure feature in the game. it means a greater risk for the publisher.

as the PSP is a portable system, most of the publishers will think it is too risky to invest more money into a feature usualy portable console don't need...

those publishers should try star wars battlefront : rs, online, it is AWESOME !

I primarily bought my psp for portable online gaming and was deeply depressed to find out that it was only an option for certain games. The server issue is a valid argument, and it would be taking a major risk to do it, but sometimes risks need to be taken to make progress.

Now don't take this the wrong way, as I am not trolling, or trying to bash the psp (I absolutely love my PSP), but I'm hoping in the future that maybe Microsoft makes a handheld with better online gaming support. Doing this would possibly even be good for the PSPs online future, as they would create more games with infastructure to compete with MS.

Oh yeah, how come Nintendo's DS online feature seems to be more popular?

Probably because the DS has more users. Not trolling here, it's just the truth. I wish more PSP games not only had WiFi play, but WiFi that doesn't suck. Most online games are too limited, but then there are gems like Killzone...

Advertising helps. And the bigger user base.
