Got it.Dark Souls Inspired PS4's Design
Incidentally, Shuhei Yoshida's favourite game of last-gen is Journey.
November 21, 2013
On the latest PlayStation Blog podcast, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Shuhei Yoshida revealed that From Software's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls - his second favorite games of the last generation - inspired much of the PlayStation 4's design.
"Lots of things these games - Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls – did, like leaving the message to other people asynchronously so you feel connected but not really connected at the same time, all of these things inspired us when we were designing the system features for PS4.
"The sharing features - I enjoy so much watching people playing Dark Souls on YouTube. These games still have special place in my memory."
Sony is heavily focused on this sort of seamless social integration with its latest console, which is the first to offer players the opportunity to remotely jump into the games of others, alongside sharing capabilities and integrated streaming.
