Sony Worldwide Studios boss says we'll now 'start to see something really unique and interesting'.
Speaking to Three Speech, President of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, has admitted that early game development for the PS3 focused on improving the visuals over the previous generation of titles at the expense of gameplay. However, this is something Yoshida-san expects to change as the console moves into its second and third years.
"This is a time when we feel more comfortable with the technology, so we can focus more on the actual game development. I think that's the same for the major developers and third parties. So, many games have focused on the graphics side, and it's often the case when a new platform comes out that the gameplay kind of goes back," he said. "But now, in the second and third years of the platform, we will start to see something really unique and interesting."
Yoshida-san also reiterated Sony's plan to ensure the PS3 is a relevant platform for a further ten years.
"... we can't say it will have a longer life than other platforms, because we don't know what their intentions are. PlayStation 2 is still doing very well in its eighth or ninth year. And what we are saying is that, because of what is included in the PS3, our intent is to make it a really relevant system for another ten years. And if it's longer than other companies' strategy, that's up to them to decide," Yoshida-san explained.
