A small group of journalists and developers were invited to sit in an informal lunch discussion with some of the biggest names in the gaming industry today.
Look, on the one hand, we don’t want to be encouraging this kind of behaviour. But on the other… watching David Perry engage in a bit of tit-for-tat with Sony is too good to pass up.
The a UMD-free Playstation Portable 2 is indeed real and could hit as early as this fall, David Perry, chief creative officer at Acclaim, told Kotaku today.
The new Playstation Portable won’t feature a UMD disc drive, according to Acclaim developer David Perry.
And the E3 post-mortems continue! Latest to chime in with his 2c is swarthy heart-throb David Perry, who thinks E3 is stupid. And broken. And an embarrassment. And diluted. And…look, we’ll just let David explain:
If there aren’t dramatic changes to the format and staff, I’m never going again…The concept is broken, it’s expensive, messages are diluted, consumers are ignored (remembering that the future of this industry is direct connections with consumers – not retailers), the ticket policies are stupid, and if the entire industry worldwide doesn’t participate, it’s not real anyway.
Tough words! Tough, but true. Who’ll be next to let us know of E3′s impending demise? Stay tuned!
Perry: E3 is an embarrassment [GI.biz]
Back in February, Acclaim chief creative officer David Perry announced the company’s “Project Top Secret”, a collaborative racing MMO design project where a stand-out entrant would be tapped to head up Acclaim’s next MMO project. Today, Acclaim announced it’s getting close to conclusion, with one contributor to be chosen and announced by next week.
Acclaim said 60,000 entrants signed up to submit content for Project Top Secret, and Perry will be the executive producer on the winner’s project. The original plan, said Acclaim, was to let the community collaboration design the game while a team of professionals actually made it, but Project Top Secret has since shifted into being an entirely community-produced effort.
Now in its second “building” stage, the project also has a million-dollar prize at stake along with the publishing deal and a real-deal professional development contract.
Full announcement follows the jump.
