Blacklight Dev: "Sony is really in to win next-gen"

http://www.destructoid.com/blacklight-dev-sony-is-really-in-to-win-this-one--249729.phtml

Sony revealed several more indie titles last night during the Game Developers Conference that are set to hit the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3, and even PlayStation 4. Sony has been showing a lot of support to smaller developers, and even courting PC titles such as Blacklight: Retribution into the fold. 

Jared Gerritzen, studio head and creative director at Zombie Studios, told me that Sony has been,  "very, very proactive" with the relationship and sees this movement as their grand plan to win the next-generation.   

"I think Sony is really in to win this one," Jared tells me. "I'm good friends with a lot of guys at Microsoft, I'm under their NDA flag, and Microsoft definitely has a different outlook than Sony does. Sony, like they say 'Yeah, PlayStation 3 wasn't what we wanted it to be in comparison in the "arms" race.'

"So now they're going hard, man. It's pretty cool, on all points. I think that it will be really interesting to see what Xbox fires back with. It'll be an awesome E3. Sony is just like, 'GO! GO! GO! Let's make this hardcore! Let's get all these devs in and let's make it as good as we can.'"

Furthermore, Sony is going beyond simply approving projects to offer more direct support to independent developers like Zombie. "They could have just been like, 'Yeah, put it on the PlayStation 4. Cool,'" Jared told me. "But they're sending us kits, they're sending us everything, they're pulling us into PR groups, they're setting up these events for us, and it's just awesome."

It's especially significant that Sony is working with Zombie "considering the game's been out, most publishers had been 'yeah we don't understand cause the game's already out so whatever.' But [Sony's] been really awesome. 'Yeah let's get this, here you can talk to these guys, let's introduce you.' It's been really, really cool."

So basically he says: Sony is going hardcore with PS4. All about the gamers.... and Microsoft has a different outlook than Sony. 

This is even more confirmation that Durango/720 rumors have all been true. MS doesnt care about games or gamers. Theyre main focus will probably be Kinect and Cable/Streaming/PVR. 

Nintendo on life support.

Its called a summarisation, Willy.

I didn't believe Kaz when he said Sony is going to make a comeback.

Promising stuff, I can't wait to see what Microsoft has cooking, the different outlook bit has me interested, not in a good way.

Its only a testament to how far Sony has fallen this generation, when  Sony for the first time in about 3 quarters of a decade for once not fellating their own shotgun and painting the wall behind them = Sony being "in it to win it".

Its called cherry picking. summary is a shortened text that touches upon the important parts of a larger text...you cannot call something that only deals with 20% of the text a summary...no its called cherry picking for sake of your arguement.

1. hes friends with lots of folks at Microsoft. 2. hardcore is the aproach sony is taking he mentions nothing about the ideals of their games. hardcore=take it to the max..the same can be done with casual games. 3. hes under nda from MS therefor zombie studios is working likely working on durango..and if they are, there maybe others at gdc that are under the same nda. 4. he cant wait to see what MS has instore for E3.

So yes cherry picking. you F'ing putz "thats for calling me willy you mistakenly slipped down your momma's leg puddle of spid"

Illogical rambling? Don't be a hypocrite Willy.

I've lost count of the amount of times you've somehow managed to somehow turn a normal discussion into a series of rants about how PC gaming sucks, Sony is the devil and fvcking Industrial Hemp.

Lots of angry Xbox fanboys in this thread. I can't blame them... I would be mad too if I were an Xbox fan. drakekratos

Not a single bad news was given about the ps4 like not a single good news was given about the WiiU since ps4's announcement.

Poor microsoft sound like they almost bankruptMstaPrimeMnista

just forget about the Xbox. Is not even worth discusing it anymore. The brand is irrelevant.

It sounds like that guy is surprised that Sony is putting up a fight.lol

[QUOTE="MstaPrimeMnista"]Poor microsoft sound like they almost bankruptBruin1986

sounds...they're

You do realize MS could purchase the entirety of Sony many times over, correct? They're market cap is like 15x that of Sony. Just making sure you know lol...

Baby that green,drop coupes that cream,
earrings in my ear look like a baby flat screen (do ya thang)

"Supa-Clean" is on the scene;
Italian leather match the Polo boots,
and the wood grain lame
I'll show you how to do the do (do ya thang)

blowin fruits same flavor as the candy gloss
in the backseat got a freak pullin panties off.
"Arrr!" weigh the anchor on the Cuban link chain,
diamonds stacked on top of diamonds, custom made pinky ring (do ya thang)

fishin hats, Polo shorts with the Polo man,
wearin blue and tan in the blue and tan Avalanche.

Jackers never had a chance,
set up in the Avalanche,
they hopped out the van and startin shootin like a cameraman,
top down, hit the switch an let it drop down,
passin by the underground, they can hear me underground.PSC

just forget about the Xbox. Is not even worth discusing it anymore. The brand is irrelevant.

That goes without saying. Sony is all about games while M$ is all about no games so they're diametrically different. For gamers Sony easily wins for lems... Well lems are a lost cause really.kuraimen

Thank You, Sony.

I like Sony and all, but to say they are "in it to win it" is kind of a no-brainer. Do they think MS is "in it to lose it?" MS might have a different focus and might not end up positioning themselves to the premier choice for traditional gamers. At the same time, if they move to a more family friendly approach, who is to say that they won't sell a lot more consoles this gen. It certainly worked for the first Wii.

:shock: Rut row raggy, now that is very, very worrisome since I'm certain that's what was said in 2005-2006 about Sony and the PS3 but hen again, for the last few months it's felt alot like 2005-2006 so no surprise I guess. :P
