Again it is a PR attitude maybe not the same when talking inside the company. They can't have BC with PS3, you never give good comment on the competition not only in game industry but in any industry.
Same things for crossplay, this is PR.

According to posters in that thread he was in that position temporarily and he wanted this move so he could focus more on Sony's networking side of things.
No idea, but apparently it wasn't meant to be permanent. Still, considering what he's done for Sony's networking side of things so far if he wants to dive into continuing to work on that then more power to him.
This thread seems to talk about his new role a bit more

Kinda surprised that new news emerging with the top people of SIE currently; Ryan, Kodera, and Layden on the same day, just missed Shuhei though.
Aye, exciting times up ahead .. these new Shawn Layden interviews were great actually.
Just wish we knew more info regarding announcements this year and what to expect .
5 candles! 5 balloons! PS5 confirmed to launch on Shu's next birthday!
Ryan and/or Layden should give him new JRPG Studio as gift.
Hahaha ha haaa... ._.
Jim Ryan said many times when he was in charge of SIEE, that the MediEvil IP have no value.
He was wrong, thanks to Shawn Layden. He have heard MediEvil fans and decided to bring it back.

Exactly. It was a poor choice of language to downplay the lack of backward compatibility and cross-play. I think Ryan's willingness to tackle tough subjects is what got him into trouble in the first place. Some of his cut and thrust interviews are hilarious and he seems like an affable person. It's just that on a couple of occasions his openness backfired because he did not have a well considered answer. Let's hope the criticism stung him, enough to put fire in his belly, because he has a wealth of experience that, with a progressive attitude, can serve PlayStation extremely well in future.
I don't really have much of an opinion on Jim Ryan although I think he has pretty bad stage presence. But he's been in charge of SCEE for years so I assume he's capable and can manage the job.
I hope he has a mandate to invest in more indie titles like Journey, Resogun and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture again!

That's interesting to hear. Do we know what titles/IP's Ryan is passionate about?
Strange to see Kodera leaving his position so soon as a CEO. Hopefully this was just a temporary position like some people have assumed in here.
In defense of Ryan the Medievil remaster doesn't look that good from the trailers. It looks pretty cheap when compared to Crash/Spyro/SOTC. Maybe Sony doesn't care that much about Medievil.
What!?!?
Edit.
Just re-watched the trailer and all i can say is, you need to go and see a doctor for those eyes of yours.
To be fair, let's just wait and see how Jim Ryan works for the future.
Yeah, I also realized for all the things he said in the past.

Do you know that MediEvil started development in January 2018 and we've seen that trailer in October, so only 10 months of dev?
Jim Ryan makes me more interested in the future of Playstation than Kodera tbh. He's shit with PR, and says what the company needs him to say, but he's good at what he does.
Yep, it's an embarrassment. And here i thought Days Gone threads were bad lol not even close to that.
This 2012 all over again. "Sony is doomed" - "Sony is arrogant" - "I miss the old Sony" - "Sony lost to many talent" - "Microsoft may save gaming".
It's actually good that this happens, the best moments in Sony's history were when nobody believed they could do something good. Sony was awful at only one of the four generations that it released consoles, and in the end, still got an incredible turnaround but even so, people still think it will be the end of Sony.

eeeh, maybe wait until Medievil remake sold well first before saying Jim Ryan is wrong. for all we know, Medievil remake might be a flop. I hope it didn't. I never played Medievil, only know that his design is pretty cool and give me Nightmare Before Christmas vibe, which I love.
I played it back in the day, it was below average and lame even then, nothing I've seen from the remake shows me it's changed at all from that foundation.
But some people wanted it so we're getting it.
The Tim Burton- esque artsyle is pretty unique. I'd say it deserves some love.
Have people played Medievil recently? Or just tainted nostalgia glasses are talking?
Is not that great. Is not of the Crash/Spyro level.

I do agree that gameplay is definitely a bit janky (as the cool kids like to say), but for me the reason I loved medievil was the humour and story interaction (like the hall of heroes)
MediEvil haven't aged very well ok, but the concept it's on another level compared to Spyro and Crash.
The story, characters, music, level design, atmosphere..This game is a gem.

I love that you went back and watched the trailer again because of what he said lol
Edit: Medievil > Spyro and Crash.
I played the game again on PS3, it was rough but because it was early 3D and they didn't figure the controls and camera, today that shouldn't be a major problem. The design of the game, the adventure, the art, is well above those two franchises. Crash is terrible lol, I can't believe I loved that crap back in the day (CTR is still phenomenal). Spyro is fine but is standard 3D adventure game.
I don't give much thought to which CEO holds which position. Why? Because there has always been a cohesive and unified front among the SIE top brass. I've never heard them put out conflicting statements. But then, they seem more focused on PS as opposed to social media.
As long as Gio Corsi and Shuhei Yoshida maintain there positions it's a non issue for me, personally.

Some people in ERA just need any reason so they can throw some shit on Sony and PlayStation, threads like that are the perfect example. Oh and don't you dare to look those cross-play threads.
