That shout-out to Hermen Hulst for his support being integral to the creation of Death Stranding, tho.

Obviously. He gave Kojima the game engine in a gift box.

Internet: "SHUHEI YOSHIDA WAS SINGLE-HANDEDLY KEEPING PLAYTATION'S JAPANESE SPIRIT ALIVE!!".
Shu himself: "I don't even know what the fuck I was doing, man".
It's good to see him admitting his fuck-ups, but it gets ridiculous when he goes around blaming the AA market or whatever. Astro Bot probably wouldn't have been greenlighted under him.

Dear lord, I want someone to meet with the likes of Yasuhide Kobayashi, Allan Becker, Yoshihide Yanama, Takahiro Kaneko, Masami Yamamoto and Kazuo Kato. Their terrible mismanagement will never be forgotten.

"Who cares that we were losing talent left and right? Be happy that the Gravity Rush 2 team is now making indie multiplatform AA horror games!!"
The latter isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I do wonder WHAT TEAM YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT?
This narrative that ""Team Gravity"" became Bokeh is absolutely false and tiring, and it's even worse seeing Shuhei Yoshida parroting it as well. It's literally just Keiichiro Toyama himself with 10 or so people from the GR2 development team he managed to bring to his new studio.
Team Gravity never existed, anyone that didn't jump into the development of other internal projects like Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Demon's Souls is a lost soul these days.
