Sony Computer Entertainment has been known to publish quite a few games that haven't exactly been financial breakthroughs, yet they don't seem to be about to give up on that kind of experience, as explained by Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida during his panel at Gamelab in Barcelona a few days ago.
Shuhei Yoshida chats with FINAL FANTASY XVI Producer Naoki Yoshida.
PlayStation boss Shuehei Yoshida wants the gaming industry to continue to chase its creative dreams.
Shu I agree but right now Sony themselves are working on more than 5 live service games
He’s been at PlayStation since the beginning, and seen the games industry transform beyond recognition. He talks unlikely successes, AI, and gaming’s future.
Wow
:I
That really surprises me.
Yep, they're not afraid to support games that might be considered niche. Team Ico games, Demons Souls, Quantic Dream games are just a few examples.
Wow..im glad they dont give up on them even if it fails financially. Unlike most devs who drop ips left and right if it doesnt sell well
pr talk
This is likely the reason why Indie games have become very important to the platform holders. Making AA and AAA titles can't be cheap.
