While being interviewed by Weekly Famitsu, President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida discussed the future of PlayStation 4 titles and gave an update on The Last Guardian.
While discussing the PlayStation 4 games planned for release in the near future, Yoshida was asked about his opinions regarding how most of those future PS4 game releases are multi-platform titles. Taken from a translation via Kotaku, Yoshida responded:
“I think it’s fine to start from there. If the number of PS4 users increases from there and they tell their friends, ‘the games look prettier on the PS4,’ or ‘the loading time’s faster,’ or ‘using the SHARE function is fun’ then the sales for PS4 versions of games will increase and game creators may think ‘let’s focus on developing for the PS4 from here.”
Yoshida also added that creating first party games would be very important to Sony, as it would “show why buying a PS4 is a good idea through our games.”
While on the topic of first party games, Yoshida was asked for an update on the gestated PS3 title The Last Guardian to which he responded:
“Development couldn’t be better. That might be a bit of an exaggeration (laugh). We continue to work diligently on the game, so please look forward to it.”
At the time of this writing, The Last Guardian has been in development for nearly five years now with very little information being given about the PlayStation 3 title. For now, only time will tell on when, where, and how gamers will see The Last Guardian again and possibly be able to play it.
