The historical flop of Concord has led to an important change of strategy within the PlayStation Studios: to confirm it, albeit indirectly, is the same Hermen Hulst. The PS Studios boss has outlined the new vision of Sony Interactive Entertainment in the development of Gaas.
In an interview with the Financial Times, the Sony manager of the PlayStation Studios has outlined the changes that the Japanese technological giant has decided to make to prevent cases such as that, in fact, of Concord and its historic bankruptcy.
Relating to the previous statements of Sony’s top management on the many live service games developed by the PlayStation Studios, Hulst specified that “Gaas’s number is not so important. What really matters is to offer diversified experiences that can meet the tastes of the community and those who appreciate certain genres. Since then (indirectly referring to the bankruptcy of Concord, editor’s note) we conducted gods much more rigorous and frequent interior tests. Now we understand how much this supervision can be necessary “.
To the microphones of the financial Times journalists, Hulst also underlines how Sony has decided to Involve many more development studies and tester groups of the PlayStation Studios subsidiary galaxy (and of the Second Party partners), thus favoring the sharing of information between the different internal realities in Sie and promoting a closer relationship between managers and development teams.
As for the future, Hermen Hulst admits that “We don’t want the teams to always choose the easiest way and always play on the safe side. But at the same time I would also like the failures, if they really have to happen, happen soon and with a relatively contained cost. Our approach to the creation of new interactive and unpublished IP experiences is based on the understanding of how the concept of a new project can turn into a recognized Playstation franchise, something that is able to become iconic and look at an audience that goes beyond that of video games “.
