| Hiku said: I remember Shuhei Yoshida said something about how they never expected The Last Guardian to sell a lot, but they made it because they knew the fans wanted it. I imagine those kind of passion projects are easier to pitch to the CEO's, or justify to investors when you have some safe bet games alongside them. |
I really like Shuhei Yoshida. Although being a corporate businessmen he still understands passion for gaming and how to develop gaming as an art form. Or if he doesn't he understands well to convey that anyways in his statements.
I think a mix of safe bets and new ideas is basically something benefitting the gaming sphere the most. We all love the next big entry in our most beloved series, but still also like being surprised with genuine new ideas. If one is financing the other, that is the best thing.
