Guarini talked extensively about his latest game Murasaki Baby, about the working relationship with Sony and his past work with Goichi Suda. he even gives some tidbits about the upcoming PS4 game by Ovosonico.
Wccftech had a long, interesting chat with Ovosonico founder Massimo Guarini (Director of Shadows of the Damned) about the future of the industry as a whole, from the need for more mature games to next-generation consoles, cloud streaming and Virtual Reality.
"We'll get there, there'll be a Netflix of games of sorts. For example, the brand PlayStation will probably, eventually be just a streaming channel. Maybe the TVs and displays of the future will already have all the sufficient technology to run games or at least process those being streamed from a server farm."
I don't see Sony going that route completely but instead continue to offer the choice for those who want the PSNow experience as well as those who want traditional experience.
I don't like to imagine that, but I agree. In the future all systems will be streaming. It is better for companies, and in a capitalist world that is what matters.
Ok, so I pay for subscriptions from game publishers for access to entire game library that I can play instantly on any device.
As long as they consolidate (AKA bundles, 2-3 service's that cover all games, as opposed to every publisher having their own streaming service) the value would be there.
When the tech gets there I will probably jump in.
Kevin Webb: "While one of Sony's main goals with the Vita was to produce experiences that felt like playing on a home console, the Vita produced a number of unique games that were later brought over to more powerful hardware. And as the Vita got older, independent developers began to take advantage of the console's strong hardware and dedicated player base. For example, PC games like "Stardew Valley" or "Minecraft" that had earned an indie following could be moved to the Vita at low cost, letting players take their favorite games on the go.
The PlayStation Vita may not have been a smash hit, but there were plenty of gems to be found on the handheld if you spent enough time looking."
Frobisher Says was one of the best games on the Vita. There was just nothing like it. It's such a shame that Sony didn't see fit to invest in the Vita long term.
Some excellent choices there. I spent so many hours on Soul Sacrifice and Persona 4
As much as I love the Uncharted series I couldn't come to terms with Golden Abyss. It felt like a few steps back in the series
Danganronpa, Stien Gate, and especially Persona 4 are some of the best titles that available on the Vita.
I will miss this console.
No Freedom Wars or Killzone Mercenary?
Both deserve remakes. Mercenary is cannon and Freedom Wars is just one of those ultra rare JRPG games I found fun and think could appeal to a wider audience.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are examples out there of games being developed for Vita that truly make the most of its inputs, coming up with unique ways of interacting with the hardware to make for a memorable gaming experience. It’s these titles I’m looking at in this article – what they are and how they worked on Vita, both in terms of what they did right and what they could have done better."
New IP. galore
i m eager to see if all these unananounced PS4 games will become reality ..Sony has the hype train overloaded with rumors and unnamed IPs but no real games at our hands..lets see what they r up to and if we will ever experience at least some big releases
Be nice to Indie Devs and they'll be nice to you.
