The Last Guardian has made the jump to PS4, but many fans have noted that the game looks very similar to how it appeared back in 2009 when targeting a release on PS3. So the obvious question is will the game be given a visual upgrade now it has the extra power of PS4? The short answer is no.
Shuhei Yoshida, Sony Worldwide Studios boss told Engadget: “The vision hasn’t changed since the PS3 era. It’s just that we couldn’t achieve that on PS3. [Fumito] Ueda-san doesn’t view the need for any changes.”
As for why the game was canned on PS3, Yoshida explained: “Making the game on PS3 was super difficult so basically we gave up. Because it was too slow, the progress. And the team did an amazing job porting the code onto the SPUs. But still the game didn’t perform to the required levels and some features are still missing.”
Perhaps we should be glad we’re seeing the game released and not worry about whether the visuals are of PS4 quality.
