Over those years, Cerny grew close to the company, but it wasnt always smooth going. The book All Your Base Are Belong to Us: How 50 Years of Videogames Conquered Pop Culture recounts a moment at the E3 gaming conference in the 90s when Cerny was nearly reduced to tears by a 45-minute tirade from Ken Kutaragi, the father of the PlayStation, who didnt see much future in Crash Bandicoot. Ken is a very intense person, Cerny says.
good old crazy Ken Kutaragi

And if that wasn't enough, the character he plays in this movie is called Bain, which roughly means "bathtub" in French.LOL!
Banderas AND a tub?
nailed it!

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.
ever use a vita? the thing is amazingly fast and the games aren't that bad either.Isn't Cerny also responsible for Vita?
I mean, it's not that PS4 isn't well designed, but it might be a bit premature to canonize the man as the savior of the PlayStation.
America...FUCK YEA!
Its surreal to think that I know the head of Sony Corp from when we used to go drink too much after trade shows in 1998, he says.
I don't get it. Why is Banderas always on a computer? What movie is it from?
But I thought Cerny was...
Whatever you say Ken did still make playstation
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.

Well, the vita hardware and os is pretty damn amazing. It's failure is more attributed to very aggresive nintendo and sony failure to secure some third party software like monhun. They think third party will go multiplatform for portables like ps360 so monhun will come to them too. They don't count on nintendo being super aggresive in securing exclusivesIsn't Cerny also responsible for Vita?

Plus, as a game designer himself it makes sense he plays games on other consoles - to check out the competition, get ideas, and so on.
"We see rumble as a last-gen feature."
God, Sony circa 2006 were so bad; their whole PR angle was just awful. Again, it's remarkable how similar the whole Xbone mess has been up until now. I even remember Insomniac going out of their way to claim that Blu-ray was absolutely necessary because they'd filled up something like 19GB of space on the disc with Resistance: Fall of Ham.
Note the emphasis.

Yet if it was designed under the similar philosophy of easy to design games with 3rd party input, you'd think that, y'know, more 3rd parties would give a shit about it. It''a the oft-cited reason that 3rd parties abandoned Nintendo because they didn't design with them in mind, so you'd think that the reverse of that would be true for Vita. But it's still severely slim pickings right now.Well, the vita hardware and os is pretty damn amazing.

It's never going to happen again. Sorry to burst your bubble.lol @ the gifs.
I hope Sony has a reign similar to how they did for the PS2. Mostly because some of the best games came out during the PS2 era. Some freakin' epic games came out during the PS1 era as well, though. PS3 has had some very strong entries, but gaming felt more nurtured back then.
Maybe Cerny can do it!

So... as I said, a good designed system doesn't a "turnaround" make, as this article implies.

ha ha, flimsy rebuttal, the only bubble that needs bursting is the one you're living in.
