That Cerny met the king of pop...this guy!

THis guy is too awesome!!

Man...PS4 really looking impressive on so many fronts...I have to get one...

also, wired has another video with some new Knack footage I think...confirmed Native 1080p and the combat actually looks kinda good. I think the game will surprise many with good reviews and word-of-mouth sales.

Is that teardown PS4 video that's linked in the article new or old?

http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/11/playstation4-teardown-video/

Posted this morning with the rest of it, so I would definitely say new. And glorious. Such a proud papa in how he took that thing apart, even bringing out the white gloves for a bit. Probably the best tear down video I've ever seen, probably because it's not some marketing d-bag doing it.

Cerny future Sony NA CEO? Cerny future Sony NA CEO.

 

[haikira]

Man, Cerny does not look 49. I'd have guessed late thirties, early forties at most.

 

[Guymelef]

Oh..my...

 

[3rdamention]

Reading this in my Kayak, in the tub, good read.

 

[coldfoot]

Put this inside the screen of the classic Banderas gif and we'd have perfection.

 

[bLaiSe]

Good read, thanks for sharing.

 

[DoubleTap]

James Spader should play him in a movie

More like Jimmi Simpson

What's crazy is Cerny isn't a Sony employee but a consultant.

Yeah, I thought the same and I was really surprised to read he'd been in the industry for 30+ years. I guess we are nearly 20 years since Crash Bandicoot launched!

I don't know how business-minded the guy is, but they could definitely make worse choices. I've never been all that fond of Tretton, although he generally seems to get good 'feedback', so to speak.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Agreed, nice shelves. Might do something like that for my room.

Same here, inspiration sparked when I saw that.

Great aritcle.

 

[freenudemacusers]

nice burberry shirt you dingus

you should give him some credit, it isn't full-on novacheck

Is there really no thread about the PS4 tear down? I looked on the last few pages & haven't seen it.

I hate that Wired photographer. White balance is set to "annoying".

Where's the tub meme from?

 

[nynt9]

Man I like Cerny too, but some of these tub pics are just creepy.

Mark Cerny first walked into Sony’s Tokyo headquarters in 1993. He grew up in Berkeley, California, not far from Silicon Valley, but in the late ’80s, after leaving Atari, he spent three and half years living in Japan, working at Sega on games such as Missile Defense 3-D and Shooting Gallery. During the time, he learned to speak, write, and read the language, and at a friend’s wedding, he even met the Japanese woman he would ultimately marry.

But I thought Cerny was...

What happens in the tub stays in the tub.

Love the Edge magazine in the shot. Also the Xbox 360.

What about the stuffed gorilla? Is that DK or just looks similar?

I believe from a thread from quite a while ago, the first post in a thread on a cerny interview was "awesome, will watch in the tub" and it really just blossomed/derailed from there.

On topic this is a great article. Interesting to read the anecdotes about that time. Kutaragi comes off as an incompetent oppressive tyrant, without shu mark or wired actually referring to him as such.

 

[Off-Kilter]

There's a Wii on the shelf above the 360 as well. :0

 

[Tagyhag]

I knew who Cerny was before 2013.

 

[Currygan]

but Mark Cerny is Czech

Hiding in the shadows. I missed it.

 

[IrgendwasmitRot]

Cerny owns Catherine. He is a good person.

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Awesome picture! MJ was also a gamer.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Cerny's head + plus Micheal Jackson = do it now.lol

 

[Xenex]

HAHAHA, nobody out GIFs ElTorro.

 

[Hoo-doo]

In the reflection of his monitor on the left you can see that he recently played Deus Ex: Human Revolution on PS3.

Oh my god that 2nd picture, haha... I'll be disappointed if the PS4 OT doesn't have Banderas in the title.

The thing is, people who keep parroting the 'RETURN OF THE KING' thing are completely wrong. The PS4 has the potential to absolutely outstrip the PS2 as a platform. PS2 succeeded and flourished in spite of its shortcomings, not because it was a particularly great piece of hardware. For the first time ever, Sony have put ease of development at the centre of their hardware, not abstract measures of theoretical performance throughput that most developers have absolutely no interest in. Cerny even says himself when asked, the thing he is most happy about with respect to PS4 is not the power but the ease of development.

This was Ken Kutaragi's problem: he was more interested in engineering solutions than he was in software development.

PS4 enables developers to do what they want, and not be dictated to by the shortcomings of the hardware and failures of engineers. And it lets them do it cheaply, meaning that they have the freedom to make riskier games. And because they haven't spent $Texas on over-engineering the console, they are able to sell it more cheaply, so they will storm ahead of the competition in the marketplace too.

I think we will look back at the PS4 as the best console ever built when all is said and done.

100% agree with this

 

[NinjaCarrot]

So much respect for this man it's unreal.

 

[Tecl0n]

I'd like to bring everyone's attention to this. In the lower right corner.

Shu's the man.
