According to the man that designed it, the PlayStation 4 is the world’s most powerful games console. Lead system architect Mark Cerny stepped onto Sony’s stage at GamesCom 2013 to talk up the next generation platform – and also model his designer spectacles. While the development legend didn’t have much new information to share, he did spend a moment talking about the hardware, indie development, and the launch lineup.
“We set our target at ten times the performance of any previous console, and the result is a hardware that makes possible the stunning graphics and rich interactive worlds of the games that you’re seeing today,” he beamed, adding that the supercharged PC architecture facilitates simple development, too. “It’s quicker to bring titles to the PS4, and easier to develop them on the platform.”
You can check out Cerny’s short speech below. We must admit, we’re disappointed that he didn’t sport one of his trademark snazzy shirts, but it's always nice to see the Knack creator strut his stuff on stage.

I can see Cerny becoming almost as popular as Kaz soon when it comes to Playstation
@MadchesterManc I don't think he will reach gif population like Kaz, but who knows
In this video he really looks like Dana Carvey..haha I can't wait to see what's coming in the future for PS4.
@MadchesterManc This is a good start though: http://i.minus.com/ibqYpxxeO2NDLv.gif
@Legendaryboss I remember seeing that gif on NeoGaf after the Playstation reveal. Its incredibly well done. I think when it comes to gifs Kaz will always be used over Cerny. Theres so many good ones of Kaz out there that its become accepted that he's still the face of Playstation on the internet lol
There's no question the power of the PS4's hardware is one reason why I've been excited for the console, but all that power means jacksh*t if it's just going to be used on small budget games. And I don't want to hear about having patience. Obviously as time goes on more big budget games will come out and games will be even better as all developers become more familiar with the hardware, that doesn't mean there can't be some incredible experiences in the first year though so lets see it. Killzone and inFamous are going to be awesome but there has to be more.
Screw Morgan Freeman, I want Cerny to narrate my life!
