Last Guardian Producer Resigns

Man, Last Guardian cannot catch a break. Last week, the games creative lead resigned from Sony and now it seems the EP is too. Yoshifusa Hayama, a former SCE vice president and until recently executive producer of Last Guardian has left Sony as well.

He is joining the Newscorp studio "Bossa" to help with the studios first 3D social game. After joining Bossa Hayama said the following about how the future of gaming: “is definitely online and thanks to recent developments with Flash 11, there is no reason why a social game can no longer be as visually stunning and as compelling as the big console titles”.

He added that, “together at Bossa we have plans to bring a plethora of games to Facebook and eventually other appropriate social media channels, which include 3D elements and can be enjoyed by all age and interest groups."

Bossa executive Henrique Olifiers spoke about the addition of Hayama to the company. “The appointment of Hayama marks a great day in our journey and of social gaming as a whole."

Bossa's first social game "Mastermind" already has an active user base of nearly 400,000.
