Which is good, because PS2 games are so ugly I can't bear to look at them. Sprite-based games age far more gracefully than ugly, poorly textured 3D games with broken cameras.
Bean counters watch too much Star Trek. In my experience, they think they can just say "fix it" to the technical people, and it will somehow magically get fixed, while still meeting all of the original promises for cost and delivery date. It's like one of those scenes when the chief engineer says "it will take at least twelve hours" to Captain Picard, and Picard says "I need it done in four." On the show, Geordi will then say to a resentful subordinate: "That's what makes him the Captain". In reality, Geordi would say to a resentful subordinate: "Shit flows downhill son, and you just saw a whole lot of shit."fnord wrote:Did anyone at the beancounting division ever hear of the cost of poor quality before this fuckup?
