Instead of focusing on graphic competitions, Shuhei Yoshida, former PlayStation head, advocates for fresh concepts and innovative ideas within Sony‘s future endeavors.
His message:
If PlayStation wants to stay relevant, it needs to change more than just the resolution.
A Veteran Speaks His Mind
As a dedicated gamer myself, I’m thrilled to share that the legendary figure behind some of PlayStation’s greatest moments, Shuhei Yoshida, has once again stepped into the limelight. His recent statement is as crystal-clear as it is audacious.
In an interview with AV Watch, he suggests that Sony should move away from solely focusing on advanced graphics technology and instead encourage a broader range of creative expressions and innovative concepts.
Since the time of Ken Kutaragi’s epoch, Sony’s PlayStation has established its prestige through technological superiority. However, this approach has been successful up until this point in time.
But as Yoshida puts it: “That way of thinking has to change.”
AAA Graphics? Sure – But Not At Any Cost
Indeed, breathtaking graphics can certainly captivate. However, Shuhei Yoshida points out that raw visual power alone isn’t enough to fully engage players – especially when considering the escalating costs and deadlines in game development.
In other words: Astro Bot isn’t particularly powerful from a technical standpoint, but it is endearing, innovative, and cherished, particularly among families.
It proves that games can be different – colorful, bold, and full of surprises.
Lessons From The Past
Back in the days of the PS3, I found myself caught up in a whirlwind where Japanese game developers were frantically chasing after Western trends. In our eagerness, we almost lost sight of what truly made us unique, our creative essence.
Only when games such as NieR: Automata emerged did it become evident that the most distinctive concepts tend to be the most robust ones.
Now The Question Is: Will Sony Act On It?
Will Sony take the advice of one of its most respected veterans?
Time will tell what happens, but it’s undeniable that change is afoot within this sector. Those unwilling or unable to adjust may find themselves falling behind.
Maybe “Next Gen” in 2028 won’t just mean more power, but also more creative courage.
Yoshida’s message hangs in the air: Less bling – more heart.
What gives you more chills? 4K visuals – or a game that truly surprises you?
