مدير المحتوى الإستراتيجي السابق في شركة سوني Shahid Ahmad، صرح في وثائقي جديد بإسم "ثورة البلايستيشن"، ان الPS4 كان من الممكن ان يكون نهاية علامة الPlaystation!
هنا بيتكلم عن صعوبة التطوير ع جهاز الPS3 وشبه الموضوع بحرب إستنزاف!
PS3 was many things to many different people,” he said in the film, viewed ahead of release by VGC. “It was definitely a difficult period, because a lot of work had to be done to turn around the technical deficit and the monetary deficit created by the launch of this extraordinary piece of hardware.
“Because it was an extraordinary piece of hardware, but it was also extraordinarily difficult to get the best out of. And people did, and it did eventually turn into a success. but my god was that a war of attrition.”
هنا يقول ان بسبب الاخطاء اللي وقعوا فيها في عصر الPS3 كان إطلاق الPS4 مخاطرة، لكن لحسن الحظ استقبال الPS4 تجاوز توقعات سوني.
Ahmad said that because of the missteps of the PS3 era, the stakes were incredibly high for PS4’s launch. Fortunately, he added, the console’s reception topped Sony’s wildest expectations.
هنا يقول انهم تفاجئوا من استقبال اللاعبين للجهاز وانهم لو لم يقوموا بالامر بطريقة صحيحة لكانت النهاية.
“I think even we were surprised by just how rapturous the reception was for PS4, because it was a kind of redemption as well,” he explained. “We’d been through the fire with PS3 and now everything was on the line. We had to get this right and if we didn’t, it could’ve been the end.
هنا بيتكلم ان كل شيء تم تجهيزه وكل القرارات تم إتخاذها من سعر وغيره وكانوا في انتظار الإطلاق وردود الفعل، وكذلك فيما يخص الDRM والتي كانت مثيرة للجدل في احداث اخرى (يقصد مايكروسوفت معشوقة الجماهير).
“The strategy was set, the hardware was focused and all that remained was launch and reception,” he added. “Partners were there, developers were involved – even independent developers were involved in the launch of PS4. The pricing had been set. Decisions about DRM and so on, which had been so controversial in other events, had also been made.
هنا يتكلم عن الإستقبال والنجاح لم يكن متوقع بل تجاوز احلامهم كذلك، وكان تركيزهم حول اللاعبين (من اجل اللاعبين).
What we didn’t expect was that it would be such an incredible success, beyond our wildest dreams. But it was the tone with which we communicated the whole thing: ‘this is 4 the players’. The entire focus of launch was around players.”
هنا بيتكلم عن الفرق بين وقت إطلاق الPS3 واللي كانوا وقتها متغطرسين وبين وقت إطلاق الPS4 واللي كانت ع النقيد تماما من فترة إطلاق الPS3، وكيف تحولوا لاشخاص متواضعين ومتحمسين.
You remember the hubris from the PS3 years? Contrast that with the honesty and self-deprecation of the PS4 launch period, and you can see that the organisation had become transformed to people who were now humble, passionate and excited about this new thing. Battle-worn, but ready to serve again.”
He added: “That attitude and spirit all began with the first PlayStation.”
