Speaking in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Evolution Studios chief executive Martin Kenwright says that although we’re yet to see the PS3 on these shores, his company is already looking towards the PlayStation 4.
“I know people are looking at PS3 now, and I’m not being glib, but we’re actually looking at PS4. I’m thinking where will it be in five years, how will we get there? What will the marketplace be like, the games, and who’ll be buying them?” explained Kenwright.
As part of the same interview, Kenwright discusses the origins of Evolution Studios and how MotorStorm is their effort to break through in America, a territory where the studio is largely unknown, despite creating some of the best racing games for the PlayStation 2.
So sure were Evolution Studios that MotorStorm was the game to be big in America that it got commissioned even before Sony came on board.
“The last World Rally title was an incredible game and we thought, ‘Wait until America gets a load of [MotorStorm].’ So we were on a mission, we really were,” said Kenwright. “Sony wasn’t even on board at this point, I just went ahead and commissioned it and thought, ‘We’ll tell them later.’ Sometimes you have to, you can’t wait around, you’ve got to take risks.“
MotorStorm is expected to arrive in Europe when the PlayStation 3 is released over here, which is currently pencilled in for March 2007.
