Ways Fumito Ueda Can Deliver a Generation-Defining Experience Again
A Shorter Development Cycle
Which brings us to our main want for Fumito Ueda’s next game: We want it to be released in a realistic amount of time. The Last Guardian, while certainly impressive in its final product, was in development or rumored to be in development for seven and a half years. Sure, it would rear its head just enough at the occasional E3 to stoke excitement and remind people that it was still around, but after a while it became a title most believed would never come out at all.
It’s understandable that Ueda and his team would want to make the best game that they could. After all, it’s through this mindset that we’ve received some of the most beautiful works in video games. However, with so many landmark titles coming out every month, there’s only so long players can wait for one experience before they move onto something that is available.
As such, we’d hope that Ueda could, at the very least, wrap up development within five years. It would still be a sizable amount of time to develop a game by today’s standards, but it would still ensure him and his team don’t miss another console generation just to put out one game.
What are some of your biggest wants in regards to Ueda’s new project? Let us know in the comments below, and check out our reviews for The Last Guardian and the recent remake of Shadow of the Colossus.
