様々な創作の可能性を模索したいという動機から、少し前に(株)ソニー・コンピュータエンタテインメント (以下SCE) ジャパンスタジオを退社いたしました。
現在はフリーランス契約として『人喰いの大鷲トリコ』に携わっています。
お待たせしております『人喰いの大鷲トリコ』ですが、現在 も引き続き作品が目指す方向を提示するポジションに就いており、優秀なスタッフとともに制作を進めております。
ですが、それをどう世に出していくのかは、SCEが決定、発表していくと思いますので、今僕から何かをお伝えすることはできません。
皆さんに満足して貰えるような形で届けてくれる筈ですので、SCEからの正式な発表をお待ちください。
今後は、引き続き 『人喰いの大鷲トリコ』の制作と、特定の枠にこだわらない新たな創作の可能性に向け邁進してゆく所存です。
また、一個人としての創作活動にも積極的に取り組んでいきたいと考えておりますので、これからもよろしくお願いいたします。
To All Interested Parties:
As some of you may have heard, I left Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Studio some time ago to pursue my creative passions. Nevertheless, I continue working on THE LAST GUARDIAN as a freelance contributor.
While it’s been a long time coming, THE LAST GUARDIAN remains under my creative supervision and is still in development by an incredibly talented team.
I should also mention that details regarding THE LAST GUARDIAN's release is solely decided by Sony Computer Entertainment, not myself. Please keep an eye out for their official announcement.
Moving forward, it is my intent to continue my involvement with THE LAST GUARDIAN project, as well as pursue new creative projects with a fresh perspective. As I rekindle my passions as a creator, I look forward to seeing where it will take me, and I deeply appreciate your support during this transition.
http://www.fumi.toSeems this is a response to a lot of frustrated people asking him about when the hell the game is being released.
They obviously moved it over to PS4 and will be (re-)unveiling it shortly. What's funny is that that website is down now, due to being hammered by all the traffic no doubt.
Well, I can at least say that I sympathize with the guy, and everyone else who's in the same position as him, since putting out release dates for my books. There's nothing more annoying and counter-productive with the delay situation than having people ask you over and over again when they'll be out. It's like, I am already under intense pressure FROM MYSELF to finish them and make them available as early as possible, and the very last thing I need is pressure from other people. Every single email that asks this question aggravates the situation a little more, and makes it a tiny wheeny little bit harder for me to keep working, due to the miniscule amount of extra pressure and annoyance it creates. And when you add them all up, the extra pressure and annoyance can sometimes be enough to make you say fuck it, and take a break for a few days or even weeks. The best thing to do when you are waiting for something that is obviously being delayed because the creators are trying to live up to THEIR OWN exacting standards of quality is to SHUT THE FUCK UP and wait for it patiently to come out.
