Gio will forever be a hero to me, as the Vita is my favorite console I've owned. I hope that Sony will have another outstanding handheld supporter in their wings somewhere, but I know Gio will absolutely excel at wherever they are going.
Vita means life!
Vita means life!
Good luck Gio!
Have Sony confirmed for sure whether or not PSX is happening this year? My guess is probably no, since they would have had to announce something by now, and unless they are going to really start showing next gen hardware/software, they really probably have nothing to show, but it also feels like they are at a point to where they have no one to show it. Will be very interested in seeing who start coming out as the big spokespeople for this company in 2020 and at the launch of PS5.

I wouldn't call Western games "Trash", I really liked Horizon for example. Japanese games however are what has made this gen sooo great for me, and it's a shame Sony doesn't seem to care about them half as much as Western games/studios. Biiiig mistake, I'm sure Japanese devs will sticks around regardless because of Sony's marketshare worldwide, and in Japan, but you'll start to see more Japanese games coming to PC. We've seen it with SEGA this gen, Valkyria Chronicles, and Yakuza.
Man the PS5 era is looking real different. Wishing him luck to wherever he goes next!

Reading them all off like that makes me realize how much turnover they've had and how their corporate reconsolidating has left few outward faces.
lol
Nothing about Sony's 1st party output was "monotony" after Uncharted 2. And prepare yourself, because Yoshida will retire soon, too. He's old enough and doesn't want to travel around the world forever, while having his kids waiting for him at home all the time.
To be honest I massively enjoyed the PS3, PS4 and Xbox 360 even in their launch window. But back then I played a lot of multiplayer games online and that just isn't the case anymore. Also, my backlog is even more massive nowadays and I don't even feel the need for new hardware. PS3 was overdue but most games don't even utilize the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X to their full potential. So yeah, there need to be some really good arguments to push me to buy the PS5 at launch.
Exactly. Plans for the coming gen have been in the works most likely since the day the PS4 launched (or 2015 at the latest). It's sad to see them go, but it's not like the future is uncertain because of these departures.
I feel like this is extremely disrespectful. You're basically implying their contributions are meaningless.
I know he's got a good relationship with Sega Europe. My official prediction for his landing spot.
Maybe, but it's also disrespectful to assume that a handful of position changes will significantly disrupt the work that literally thousands of people you never hear about do on a day-to-day basis, too.
Corsi was instrumental with bringing so many games I love back. I'll always be thankful for that. Wish him all the best with his next venture.
That's absurd. These people we recognize may lead a team and have a vision, but there are very likely people working for/with them who are perfectly capable of continuing that vision if it is indeed the right thing to do.
No i'm not. I understand what each individual brings to a team/company. Overall though they are a few out of hundreds of other people. Whatever idea they had, have to had meshed with the rest of the company full of other ideas. Basically it's not a one man/women business. All together is what keeps the business going.
That's what i ment by you wouldn't notice any change in PlayStation. If anything, what Gio brought to the table will be seen as successfull and will be recommended that continue by whoever replaces him.
I see you're starting off the week on some hardcore drugs.
There'll obviously still be plenty good work going on at Playstation, but that's a lot of their crowd-facing "good guys" of the generation gone going into the PS5.
At the very least, it's gonna feel weird.

Well, he got caught for corporate espionage.
He's lucky to still be at the company.
Damn. Wish him the best. He will be missed.
Sony lost a lot of charisma at the tail end of this generation.

I vividly remember freaking the fuck out when he announced Yakuza 5 during the first PSX.
Truly the end of dark times for the Yakuza fanbase.

Yeah that was amazing. Truly the light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel moment for any Yakuza fan. It's easy to take for granted now because we practically get a new Yakuza game every year, but back in 2014 things were looking bleak as hell.
Thanks Gio. And if you had any say or influence in getting Shenmue III off the ground then a thousand thank yous for that too.
