Posted on March 12, 2014 at 3:52 pm
It’s no secret that i like Mark Cerny – the PS4 system architect and game design director on Knack. He has a voice that may soothe giants, and his knowledge of games and the way they’re made is vast. Every interview with the man is a delight, and Sony has delivered once more with a brand new video of Cerny answering questions from fans.
As you may expect, a majority of the questions are about the PS4 hardware or Knack. He reiterates that the PS4 was designed to be powerful, but easy to develop for. He also shared that the developers who offered the foremost criticisms in regards to the PS3 were the foremost helpful when building the PS4.
As for Knack, he says that the sport was designed to be just like the platformers that defined the PSone and PS2, like Crash Bandicoot or Ratchet & Clank. Coincidentally, Cerny worked on both games so he has the experience essential to recreate that have at the PS4.
Despite lots of the questions being hardware focused, he did answer some general questions. He revealed that his favorite genre is the JRPG, but he’s also testing some indie games at the PSN. He also shared that he’s about three hours into The Last Folks. I’m sure many people hope he’ll share his thoughts at the ending once he finishes it.
Mark Cerny’s brainchild – Knack – will launch alongside the PS4 on November 15.
