Let $f:X\to X$ be a continuous map on a compact metric space with finite topological entropy. Further, we assume that the entropy map $\mu\mapsto h_\mu(f)$ is upper semi-continuous. It is well-known that this implies the continuity of the localized entropy function of a given continuous potential $\phi:X\to {\mathbb R}$. In this note we show that this result does not carry over to the case of higher-dimensional potentials $\Phi:X\to {\mathbb R}^m$. Namely, we construct for a shift map $f$ a $2$-dimensional Lipschitz continuous potential $\Phi$ with a discontinuous localized entropy function.
