Hideo Kojima on Sony's PS4 plans | News | Edge Onlineideo Kojima has described PS4 as a logical evolution of the PlayStation platform and welcomed its social aspects, but stressed the importance of quality software for the next-gen console.
Speaking to us after the launch of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Kojima said that he was too busy to actually watch Sonys PlayStation Meeting, but when we described it to him, he responded: Of course, I know what the hardware is, but I want to see how other companies are using it. First of all, I think thats great, but its nothing special; you could see it coming. Its the logical evolution of the platform and I think it has to head in that direction, hearing what you said is not surprising.
Honestly, I think all of that is good and great, he continued. Social aspects, the multidevice direction: thats correct, thats the way to go. But just because it has these features doesnt mean its going to be a success. What will really determine whether or not it sells is what titles will be available for the platform. And unfortunately, even though I am friends with Mark Cerny, hes never told me what other studios are working on. I even ate a meal with him recently and he didnt tell me anything.
I guess we can say he wasnt a fan of knack
