Give me Knack 2 Cerny! Just make it better than the first one!

Ohh also, does it mean Ken Kutaragi is back for PS5?


maybe not ken but there is a strong implication cerny isn't working on the ps5.  i really thought after the massive success that has been the ps4 he'd be rehired right away.  hopefully this is just a lull in development as the ps5 won't be out for another 6 years instead of a sign of new leadership. 


I was joking, but honestly after listening to one panel with Cerny interviewing Yoshida, one conference with Cerny talking, and the recent Cerny and House panel at Develop conference, the ties between the three are very strong, with Cerny calling them "The 3 Musketeers". If the PS5 will be a conventional console, not some streaming device or the like, I'm 99% sure Cerny will be at the helm. We are still probably around a year before a PS4 "post mortem" when serious work on the PS5 will start.

And even though Cerny was working on both the Vita and PS4, he was still working as a consultant  on various Sony games in the meantime.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Uhhhh... it's not an indie game if the developer is not working independently of a publisher...

indie is like AAA,.. it doesn't means what it really means.

If he makes his indie games exclusive to the PS brand, can we still consider him indie though?

yes

Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

At first glance i read: "Cerny is going to die!!!"



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Sure, I mean I don't think anyone questions the Fast developers as being indie even though they pretty much exclusively develop for Nintendo systems.  What makes this not indie is it's funded by a first party publisher.  But then again like some said indie doesn't have an exact definition like it once did.

  1. a video game developed with a small budget and small development team.  
  2. Characterized by a deliberately unpolished artistic style and a focus on gimmicky gameplay elements.
  3. Only availible as a digital download.
  4. Crap.

Indie does have an exact definition, except when people use the term to make their projects sound hipper than they actually are.



Thread title has done the appropriate job, it seems.

No Cerny did that....

He said "its an indie title but not really an indie title"

silly man is confused.

Probably just reads internet forums too much.
