PlayStation names its successors to Jim Ryan
I predicted it would be Hermen Hulst as the new CEO, I never predicted there would be another…
Hulst will likely Host the PlayStation press event and hopefully there will be a positive energy at this new beginning for the division. I’m encouraged that both he and Hideaki Nishino reference the future so it sounds like Sony has a plan.
I'm a bit skeptical. The new guy is unknown. Of all the leaders in the past 18 years Sony has had great leaders at the helm Carrying on the legacy of what made PS great. Sony's has a newer vision and focus for PS this time around. We'll see what happens.
As I said before two leads can be a good thing wherever they want to take PS they'll have a single joint focus and take PS to new heights (if said focus is gamer first) or bad if they have two different visions. Then you'll end up like the circus clowns over at MS.
Oh God no!! We have seen nothing since Hulst took over WW Studios. As a gamer ands PS fan I’m worried about what would happen
Well hopefully they have a plan because Herman hasn’t really done much since he got promoted last time
Remakes and remasters mainly
Spencer killed the xbox console. You're gunna have to cap for Microsoft gaming now. There's only sony and Nintendo in the hardware game now
@obscured “ The plan:”
Be as obvious as possible and make 10 new accounts after been banned.
Personally I’ll wait and see how they perform before judging them.
All that said this feel like a Japanese comedy duo one🤷🏿 one corporate man the other a delivery guy trying to save the company 🤣
This is a really nice selection to me because Hulst is an actual game developer and has been doing so for decades. A developer in charge of making games. Not bad.
Plus the separation of responsibility is interesting and a nice way of handling an incredibly complex role.
Obscure
By that same logic you can say the same about phil...and hes had longer to accomplish something at xbox.
Joint venture could be very tricky. They need to be on the exact same page on things. It's two guys calling shots.
We know Herman, but we dont know the other guy or his motives/agendas. Obviously it's to make money but how he'll go about it we'll see soon enough.
That's why they would need 3 , so when they disagree they can vote . 1 on 1 could be asking for trouble, but at least sony isn't letting 1 guy take playstation in "his own direction ".
@Lightning77 You're right, it is definitely an unusual situation to have TWO CEOs so the question is why?
My guess is that Hulst as a former studio head of Guerrilla and Westerner is best placed to watch over and communicate with the near-universal Western PlayStation studios and film/TV production.
Hideaki Nishino seems to have the more senior role dealing with development of PlayStation hardware and the PSN which I believe is based in Japan so perhaps he is a better point of contact with them. As long as Hulst has a direct line of communication with Nishino and can communicate the desires and needs of developers and publishers for the next-gen then hopefully this two CEO system will turn out well. Hopefully!

@Barlos Had no idea that was from Thunderdome. I remember a similar line from Con Air when Steve Buscemi says it to Nic Cage after fighting the other guy in the cargo hold. Con Air must have taken it from Thunderdome.
Good luck to them and I hope they do great jobs. Let's see the games. Really hoping that rumored PlayStation Showcase is coming up soon.
In a town hall that took place on Monday, Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu reportedly confirmed imminent layoffs in the U.S. and Europe.
@Outside_ofthe_Box,
So that Microsoft can close down the studio after doing nothing with them? Right...
Sad but true. It's the consequence of a shift in player habits, massive overhead, and out of control budgets across the industry.
What did NA and EU did anyways? Just translate or something? I would say it might help them get back to there roots but DK.
Actually, you are correct they play a hand in localization especially in Europe with the many languages. That and marketing.
