Boss PlayStation claims that Sony will continue to create story-based single player games

If you like single-player games with a narrative, PlayStation consoles will continue to be essential in the future.

Although Sony Interactive Entertainment has published over the years countless single-player games, many of which are true classics, it has targeted this particular market segment of this generation. And not only has this managed to do it with games like God of the war, Horzion: Zero Dawn, and Uncharted 4: A The end of the thief, the market reacted positively and rewarded Sony for its commitment to single-player stories, as many of them pursued multiplayer trends.

That said, Sony has reaffirmed its commitment to creating similar games in the future. Shawn Layden, the boss of the PlayStation, said the games in single player mode were goals that the company would continue to promote in this sector, although it could also try to play in the multiplayer.

"I think we have to do both," Layden said. "It's not a loophole. I think we have set the bar very high to be the best long-lasting narrative games. Some of the best storytellers in the sector are working on Worldwide Studios projects, whether it's Sucker Punch or the Bend team working on Past daysand of course Naughty Dog and Santa Monica Studios. I think it's one of our super strengths. I was very happy to see that three of the five nominees of the year game are Worldwide Studios games.

"Knowing that the choices we make rely heavily on stories and stories and creating worlds where people will be lost in the story of another person, culture or environment . We are very proud of that. We will continue to execute our franchises on this subject. "

Layden continued, but was talking about the growth of multiplayer space, noting that, even though, in the past, Sony had not achieved good results in this area, he did not oppose the idea of ​​trying again.

"With regard to games as services and sports, or recurring revenue models or whatever … If we can do something interesting and meaningful in these areas, we will do it", said Layden. with another team capable of delivering, again, something interesting and meaningful, we will be there and we will do it. It's not that we're not interested in these areas, it's an area where we have not always done very well.

"We want to push the limits in all areas of the game. It's important for us to do that."
