PlayStation IPs on Smartphones? Sony Wants Mobile Games
Sony is seriously considering the debut of PlayStation game franchises not only on PCs, but also on mobile devices. SIE director Jim Ryan spoke about the company's plans.
It looks like it's not just PC owners who can look the April announcement we have another confirmation that Sony is serious about delivering mobile installments of its "memorable" series. Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, spoke about it in an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu (via Ryokutya2089, who has been sharing information from the magazine):
"As part of future initiatives, we're looking at creating mobile games using many of the memorable brands we've developed over the years."
SIE's boss didn't give any details but assured that the company is looking at the mobile market with considerable interest. So we don't know how serious the company is about this segment of the market, or even which franchises and in what form would come to smartphones or tablets. It seems unlikely that these would be full-fledged installments of one or another series from the PlayStation catalogue - rather, they would be titles similar to Pokemon games.
The point is that such "details" could be found on Android and iOS devices for a long time - enough to mention lacking on smartphones and tablets. Nevertheless, it's better to curb the enthusiasm for now.
