Guerrilla Games: PS4 not designed in an ivory tower

Sony's first-party devs involved in next-gen console creation from the start, says Herman Hulst

Sony went to extraordinary efforts to ensure that the PS4 was designed precisely as developers wanted.
"We've been very closely involved in the development of the machine," Guerrilla Games co-founder Herman Hulst told The Guardian.

"We've had [PS4 system architect] Mark Cerny over several times. We got the entire group of core developers together and gave deep feedback on everything system-related.
“It's no longer designed in an Ivory tower somewhere in Tokyo, it's shared with us, with Naughty Dog, with Sony San Diego – and together we've built the machine.
“As Mark said at one point during the launch event, it's a console for gamers by gamers."
