Out of all the games to remake, you would think Cerny's Marble Madness would get one. With today's physics you could really re-imagine the game and take it to new heights with some whacked out stuff.

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

What am I looking at?

 

[Zalman]

is this real life

 

[TetraGenesis]

What an excellent article. Really well written, expansive, and full of things I honestly never knew despite reading all the other Cerny articles and seeing all his other presentations. (Kutaragi reducing Cerny to tears in a 45-minute tirade against Crash Bandicoot? Good. Shit.)

It really does capture the culture change within Sony that has lead them to their favorable position now.

I swear El Torro, if you keep one-upping yourself ventually you're gonna have nowhere to go.

He makes it look so easy.

What in Christ's name is going on in this thread? So damn creepy.

 

[Buzzati]

There is no better guy for the job.

 

[Cragvis]

Outstanding article.
Those 3 really are the dream team, and its about damn time Cerny became a superstar considering all he's done for gaming.

RIP in peace Krazy Ken, you will not be missed.

Yes, Shu is adorable and hilarious, Cerny is super smart and soothing, and Andrew is the casual businessman.

They all go down easy for me, for some reason the other 'team' just does not have any likable characters for me. Beady eyed, fake smiles and diversionary tactics come to mind.

 

[GregLombardi]

Wow, I didn't know he did Marble Madness.

I played that as a 5 year old!

dude seriously.

Its like overhearing people talking about what real housewife is their favorite

 

[Netherscourge]

Marble Madness was one of my all-time favorite games.

I had no idea Cerny made that game!

 

[Cragvis]

What

I liek them, they are nice.

 

[Eggbok]

Cerny is so adorable !!

I am just imaging trying to explain this to someone else. You see, there is this guy Mark Cerny and his voice....and this clip of Antonio Banderas....and ah fuck it.

 

[Damaniel]

Check out his "Road to PlayStation" presentation on YouTube. he tells his life story at the start, coding at 10, attending university at 16, Atari at 17, Sega 19, president of Universal Games by 36.
Fucking legend.

Yep, the guy's a legit genius, regardless of what people might think of him personally.

Sony's decision to actually ask developers what they want (and to put one in charge of hardware) will pay off handsomely over the coming years. I guess the PS3's rocky start (to say the least) was a serious wake-up call.

The thought of trying to do that may very well be more amusing than the .gif


MAY be....this needs testing.

 

[IonicSnake]

Cerny was wrong when said the days of mascots are over, we now have Antonio Banderas!

 

[system11]

So there I was trying to work out why I should care who Mark Cerny is and then I find out via Wired of all places that he made one of my favourite arcade games of all time.

 

[The Omega Man]

Young cerny and MJ, awesome

 

[Cragvis]

Cerny was wrong when said the days of mascots are over, we now have Antonio Banderas!

On Nov 12th....if they got Antonio to show up at the launch party Sony is having, and have him do the oooooooooo motion....this next gen will be complete.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Can someone explain the tub thing to me?

 

[jmdajr]

Good read

Gaf will be broken and offline for eternity.

 

[Drencrom]

This is too much for me to handle

 

[elohel]

get the tubs ready

What's this mean? lol

 

[anexanhume]

Is that Adam Boyes? Left of Shu.

Yes, it's a picture of Adam and Randy Pitchford (gearbox) holding a PS vita box.

 

[grkazan12]

Real talk, I know the tub meme is about Cerny and interviews, but who created it? and what does it mean?

Challenge: Show this gif to your significant other and record what happens.

 

[PoweredBySoy]

So happy with my PS4 preorder.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Great read

Cerny was an amazing choice for the lead architect

Sony bet big and it worked

 

[Vesper73]

Someone need to make a gif of Banderas getting into the tub while watching the video of himself watching Cerny while getting into the tub!

/dodges fruit

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

dude seriously.

Its like overhearing people talking about what real housewife is their favorite

 

[StrongArmSteady]

ahaha god DAYUM! it gets better...

 

[plainr_]

Cerny looks like Kyle Bossman here.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Gaf will be broken and offline for eternity.

It would be worth it

I wonder if Banderas knows how used gifs of him are

 

[cafemomo]

RIP in peace Krazy Ken, you will not be missed.

mang, if Crazy Ken was still in charge the PS4 would have 6TFLOPS and 4D technology

 

[SwiftDeath]

mang, if Crazy Ken was still in charge the PS4 would have 6TFLOPS and 4D technology

And time to triangle on it would be double the PS3

Can you imagine?

Cliffy B would die of shock

 

[castaction]

amazing man

 

[Saganator]

Real talk, I know the tub meme is about Cerny and interviews, but who created it? and what does it mean?

A dude literally said he was going to watch some video about Cerny in a bath tub, and it just took off from there. That is it. The internet.

 

[Jotamide]

Good read. Also, holy shit at the gifs!

 

[DirtyLarry]

Absolutely. The game STILL holds up all these years later. If they actually remade it with the possibilities of today, it could be truly bonkers.
Add in a level creator. Done deal.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

I'm definitely impressed with how Cerny designed the PS4, but I'm not so impressed with Knack atm (from what I've seen in the Gameplay vids)

 

[Gary Whitta]

I moderated a panel at GDC a few years ago that had Mark Cerny on it. I tried to impress him by showing him my custom Marble Madness ringtone. I don't think it worked.

 

[fallagin]

I wonder if he was showing them Moonwalker.
And is that Macauley Culkin?

I think they were supposed to be working on music for a sonic game together.

Whatever you say Ken did still make playstation

That's hilarious

 

[Zukuu]

I just spilled my tub water laughing to this. Great job.
