Slitterhead director Keiichiro Toyama says Sony wanted Japan Studio to make "more highly budgeted games" before it was ultimately closed.
Speaking to VGC in a new interview, Toyama, who departed PlayStation's Japan Studio in 2020, reflected on what Sony wanted from the studio itself. "With Sony, there was an increasing motive to make more highly budgeted games, and it wanted to go that way with the Japan Studio brand," Toyama says.
