I've never really heard about until the PS Event. Since then I've been reading up on his work and the various projects that he's been involved in and I must say, this dude is incredible :)

Marble Madness is about it.

Marble Madness on Mega Drive was amazing.

Cerny FTW!

@ 12 years OLD he was working on a method of 3D dungeon crawling game on a CDC 6400 punch card computer, using trigonometry! yes only when he was 12! LMAO, not to mention one of 16 people in the entire whole wide world who is in this freaking hall of fame.

no one knew or cared about him til they found out he was helping design the PS4. while he is behind some "good" games dont put him on that pedestal yet, the PS4 hasnt even been released yet.

Why does he remind me of Floop from Spy Kids?

Never heard of him until the ps4 came about. I thought a legend needed to be well known?

Haha wow. Memories.

I actually played Marble Madness a lot as a kid. Anyone who's played the real version in the arcade knows that you really beat on that ball because you're trying to get that marble to defy gravity sometimes and it was so much fun! I actually bruised my palm from playing so much. It would hurt like hell for days after playing that game.

Truly an awesome videogame

The guy is a legend, he will definitely be the difference for Sony.

Loved Crash Bandicoot! Great game :)

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau

Wuchang is great. Nine Sols didn’t have a physical copy so I never played it but I’ve heard good things so I will check it out. I stopped playing sports games many years ago when before the card dlc’s or whatever they’re called.

Last comment… ):

Great month for others, but not me. Hate soccer and soulslikes. Maybe Nine Sols is good.

🫡 it was fun while it lasted, N4G.

FC26!
