Shuei Yoshida answers about BC (PS3 not happening), Rime, JRPGs and more

I am sure that I am not alone when I say this but I was hyped about the so called AAA JRPG from SCE Japan.

#BanVerendus :(

Bu-But my mythical Verendus JRPGs!!!

That's disappointing, regarding JRPG. I need a new Legend of Dragoon. :(

NOPE NOPE NOPE
Also #BanVerendus, I want my fucking JRPG from Sony :'(

The question was: Can we expect a Sony made JRPG in the near future?

Yoshida said no.

Verendus said their is a JRPG in Japan Studio but it is very early in development and a long way out. No ban is deserved here.

First party not working on a JRPG does not mean another studio, similar to FROM with Bloodborne, isn't for Sony.

Those are first party projects and SONY always acknowledges them as so. More than half of SONY's first-party games come from contract studios.

*Sony’s first party and second party studios are developing over 30 games, maybe even 40 or 50 (at the end, though, he ended with “I have no idea” so the numbers are probably even more vague than they sound).

Yo, Shuhei.

You should probably have *some* idea of how many games your studios are making.

If you really don't, that's kind of amazing.

Disappointed about the BC. Lots of ps3 games I would like to give a look personally. Tons of people came to ps4 from the 360. Seems like a missed opportunity especially since MS proved it's possible.


Why is this site banned?

Lots of console wars nonsense over there. Wouldn't be surprised if they got banned from GAF for posting false info.

But when he was asked about Wipeout at EGX he said never say never and all games are under consideration but now he's saying a flat out no.

Maybe wipeout not going to happen so he gave a PR answer, JRPG is happening so he straight out lie.
Unless he don't want a Bloodborne sequal.

Can't wait for the year 2020, when Sony still won't have an own Jrpg 'that rivals FF'.

Hilarious that people still believe it.

*Sony’s first party developers won’t make any JRPG in the foreseeable future (again, the answer was a clear cut “no” to whether we can expect any or not).

I bet backwards compatibility is just gonna be buying Ps1 and Ps2 classics digitally....meh.

If I could put Ps2 or Ps1 game discs into my Ps4 and play them in upscaled resolution (similar to how PCSX2 does it on PC) I will be sooooooo happy. But I doubt that will happen.

I don't expect Ps3 backwards compatibility ever, anyone who does probably doesn't understand how weird Cell was. Systems with weird processor setups don't even have good emulator support decades later even on high powered PCs (last I checked, Sega Saturn still has no good emulator, correct me if I am wrong), let alone a console only one generation older.
 
Damn, JRPG news sucks.

Really should put a Vita emulator on PS4...get the PS1 classics, plus PSP and Vita titles (which contain a lot of JRPGs).

Instead of banning Dualshockers, why not ban Verendus?

NOPE NOPE NOPE

Are you the same guys that said BanVerendus after Kitase said that there is no FF7 Remake in Development.

Lol as if its anything new that Developers/Emploeyees are lying to us to keep their projects secret.
Forget about ND saying there wont be a Ps4 Version of TLOU? Or that there won't be an Uncharted Collection.

Why is this site banned?

Not sure if that was the reason but Dualshockers had(have?) their fair share of shitty articles based on neogaf posts or twitter from "industry insiders like Thuway" and speculation on what the games will be about based on job aplications, overall rather low quality.

There's console war stuff on most sites nowadays that are still posted on GAF. They got banned due to their false insider info last year before E3. I personally think they should be unbanned, but I'm not a mod and not in a position to decide that.

aaawwwww, damn it! Was hoping for some glimpse of hope of a new Legend of Dragoon!


Well, time to keep hype levels in check from here on out since I already have everything I wanted......it happened all at E3 lol.
 
You guys have so little faith in Verendus, I tell ya! No reason to as well as he's been right many times before (excluding extenuating circumstances revolving around delays). Just waiting for dat Verendus post.
 
that was near the end of 2014 when i asked Verendus

Sony JRPG still exists. Last I knew, they were pushing past pre-production. We're also pushing forward with approaching more people to get further projects off the ground.

I still believe!

im pretty sure non of those would be ready to risk their accounts and make an bet with verendus wheter the JRPG is true or not

Yeah it seems like that, Wipeout sounds like a pure PR answer. This one looks like Japan Studio got something. You can see his expression in the gif and it doesn't look like a real no.

Big news is saved for conferences and press releases. Answers in interviews are effectively meaningless.

That said, we're never getting PS3 BC.
 
to me sony (personally) success and reason why i loved the console was mainly due to JRPG and nothing else really, it was my japanese gamebox, still there is 2nd party stuff i guess but thats a sad thing to say.
 
Shu is not going to give a straight answer when it comes to certain things like games .
PS 3 BC is not going to happen thought people knew that by now .

Is that really so hard?

They even have a system to let you know when your friends join a party. Seems like making it so it tells when they log in shouldn't be that hard

No, you're right. That's probably not hard for them, but I imagine they don't want to do just that, because of the 2,000 friends limit that would get ugly for some.

They are most likely not adding it until they've implemented some better friend's list customization (no, the recent Groups thing doesn't cut it).

Bloodborne is co-developed by Sony's Japan Studio.

yes but they don't call it a first party game because from software ain't first party so technically shuhei could just be saying studio japan alone isn't working on a jrpg but not a collaboration game
