Revealing Mark Cerny's Knack first during PS4 unveiling an intentional decision to show off diversity
Sony would hate to see all of the games developed for the PS4 as first-person shooters or action-adventure titles, Sony’s worldwide studios president has said.
Speaking to Edge (http://www.edge-online.com/news/shuhei-yoshida-doesnt-just-want-shooters-on-ps4-and-thats-why-knack-was-revealed-first/), Shuhei Yoshida said Sony made the intentional decision to show Mark Cerny’s latest game Knack first during its PS4 unveiling in February.
He said that while a plethora of people are interested in triple-A blockbusters and photorealistic titles, they were not the only kind of games players can enjoy.
“It was pretty intentional,” said Yoshida.
“Mark’s idea was like ‘what about [a] Crash Bandicoot for PS4?’ when he suggested the concept of Knack. We were like yeah we hate to see all the PS4 games being FPS or action-adventure or very photorealistic, you know big-budget blockbuster games. And you know people like these games but these are not the only kinds of games that people can have fun with.”
