GamePro editors Vicious Sid and Bro Buzz had a rare chance to interview Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America. The group discussed the reception of the PlayStation 3, the future of the PS3, and how Sony compares itself to its competitors.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Saif from eXputer inquires, "Despite the everlasting popularity of the genre, why hasn't there been a good AAA horror game in a while now?"
Even when they do it's first person trying to copy Outlast, Five Nights, P.T etc
I think the Dead Space / RE2 / RE4 Remake and the Evil Within 2 showed you can have a good story based, third person survival horror game.
"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.
Some food for thought:
Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?
The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.
There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.
This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.
But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
Would Sony ever consider releasing an updated "pro" Sixaxis controller, maybe with offset analog sticks and rumble support at a slightly higher price?
Jack Tretton: We used to have a narrow approach to controllers. If you really wanted to [move outside the standard controller], we left it up to third party manufacturers. But now we're moving to a regional approach. You will see peripherals coming from SCEA that will address the interests of the U.S. consumer. I don't have anything to tell you specifically, but we're certainly open to changing the Sixaxis controller if it addressed North American gamers.
Ooooh...it could be truuue.
this guy talks sense... phil harrison is also smart one... good to see top heads talking good (sensible) things from sony's side.
*rolleyes*
Anyone still listening to Jack Tretton for reliable info does NOT have any clue who he is.
Here's some fun quotes from this year:
(can't remember the exact quote) "I'll give anyone 1,200 if they can show me a PS3 that has stayed on a shelf for more than 5 minutes."
"Motorstorm will ship in 1080p at 60fps."
And the golden oldie:
"We could sell 5 million units without games."
Please do not lend any credit to this man's wild, crazy ramblings.
Give me a break...
Sony has lied so much about things and making promises and being arrogant about the PS3 and you call this guy sensible.
