Sony: We don't do mid-sized games any more

Report OP if dupe (this is kind of old news on GAF, so I may well just have missed it).

The title of the article is actually kind of misleading, because Yoshida's quote is that they're not doing "many" mid sized games anymore.

Anyway, I cannot begin to describe how gutting this is for me. I have rabbited on and on here about how "the middle" of gaming is pretty much where all my favourite IP's are contained. And a great deal of those IP's are held by Sony (not least because they're one of the few developers who actually still support the "not AAA-but-not-indie-retail-release" titles).

To think that this $40 batch of games (Sly Cooper: Puppeteer) might actually be the last we see from them breaks my heart. A future without Ratchet? Without WipEout? Without Twisted Metal? Uff.

Yeah, it's kinda depressing :( Though if Into The Nexus sells well enough we might get another full $60 Ratchet & Clank on the PS4 someday :D (oh god i hope so ;-;)
