Forums - Gaming - Peter Moore - Sony didn’t deliver with the Emotion Engine and Killzone 2

Bitmap Frogs on 16 September 2008

Why are you guys getting hot and bothered about it?

It's a fact Sony has always used this trick to sell their consoles. We are now approaching 2 years into the ps3 lifespan and there's many people on this very forum clinging on the hopes of Cell powerz that were sold to them and never delivered.

And it's not just the gaming division. I work with pro video equipment and Sony is always using that same trick to sell their gear. They create a good sounding buzzword (Exmor! CineAlta!) and promise the heaven. Sony reps always go the same way "This [product] features the new amazing technology [POWERHADFX/EXMOR/CINEALTA/BRIGHTERA] enabling it to deliver the best image!".

Peter Moore’s on a roll. Having already said this week that he personally took the decision to can Dreamcast, he’s now accused Sony of over-promising and under-delivering with both PS2 and PS3.

“I was angry with Sony at the time [of Dreamcast’s demise], but in their shoes I probably would have done the same thing,” he said.

“They did a tremendous job – and it’s a story they repeated in 2005 with Killzone – where they promised the consumer something they probably believed they were going to deliver, but they never did.

“PlayStation 2 - it was the emotion engine it was games coming to life, Real Player was going to be on there, a full network browser… and they just never delivered.”

Moore’s comments come from the second part part of an interview with the Guardian. Again, essential reading.

He is right, Sony spoke so much shit about the ps2, they said it would have Toy Story 2 graphics etc. If was not for the ridiculous sony hype, the DC might have had more of a chance.
If you compare what games the DC had and what the ps2 had in its first 2 years, I would take the DC anyday.

 

Let's clarify something here.  SONY referred to the Toy Story comment in regards to FMV in Onimusha (which actually happened), NOT gameplay.  Microsoft (Gates) were the ones who claimed that the original Xbox was capable of Toy Story graphics (which DIDN'T happen).  This Toy Story fiasco was severly taken out of context by both media and fanboys alike.  In actually, both PS2 and Xbox has the processing power to produce non-FMV Toy Story Graphics, but in regards to gameplay, it was too taxing on the hardware to sustain that quality of the visuals.  So for those who though SONY lied in regards to Toy Story graphics, please think again.  Microsoft were the ones who lied.

And in regards to Killzone (the first on might I add), Moore's comment is at best opinionated. If you check the average ranking of Killzone on Gamerankings, you'll find that it's 73%. BUT if you actually check the individual scores, you'd find that they range anyware from 3 out of 10 to 10 out of ten. This imples that the game didn't cater to some while it did cater to others. Therefore, it did deliver. Some gameplay styles do not appeal to some. While not all games are perfert, some people can see past certain flaws to enjoy the game as a whole.

The irony might be delicious, but what I've said is true =)

Everyone knows Sony is the one that stated the Toy Story statement.
