| Intrinsic said: You shouldn't build your console with one major strength, talk about said major strength for 15min, and still have people saying they don't know what it's for lol. And that Spiderman demo would have done in 20 seconds what Cerny couldn't seem to drive home in15 mins. It would show how fast the game loads, and would show the benefits of game data asset streaming. |
This was a talk for GDC. Everyone sitting in the audience would have known the Spiderman demo. But not the technology behind it. It was a dry, technical talk about the technology behind it. (From a didactical perspective, Cerny made almost every mistake a good speaker must avoid at all costs, so that didn't help either). Unfortunatly throwing it to the gamerzzzz crowd was going to have the backlash we see now. The guy who introduced Cerny should have made it very clear but in the video he seemed profoundly unprepared to set the stage. I hope this dofus is not responsible for the pr that will come eventually.
