Shuhei Yoshida Sleeps During PlayStation Q&A Session At gamescom

Sony had a big day at gamescom on Tuesday, revealing a ton of new indie and AAA games. Started out with Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida sitting in a chair playing Killzone Shadow Fall and ended with a November 15th PS4 release date reveal. After the conference, a select group did a Q&A panel talking about narrative and story in video gaming. It was less than enthralling for some of the panel members.

That’s right, this video shows Shuhei Yoshida falling asleep while David Cage, writer and director of Heavy Rain and upcoming Beyond: Two Souls, answers questions from the panel moderator. The lullaby played over top is just the cherry on top of what is an amazing video that showcases both David Cage’s ability to go on and on about his works in the gaming industry and Shuhei Yoshida’s ability to pretty much get away with anything he wants.

Shu was pretty honest and open about the ordeal, offering up this explanation for why he started to fall asleep:

Eventually, Mr. Yoshida did wake up and continue on with the rest of the Q&A panel, which can be viewed in its entirety here. Still, it’s a fun, lighthearted moment that may live in infamy for years to come.
