What do you think about games being ported to other systems?
I think it's great. It gives more people the opportunity to play the game. The only time it's not okay is when a port is announced before the game is released on the original system, thus sabotaging the sales a la Resident Evil 4 (GCN > PS2). I believe it's pathetic when certain people (you know who you are and what blogs you run) cry foul over it. It shows unbelievable console patriotism, and it's just sad. We should be happy when more people get to experience a game such as Dead Space Extraction, Final Fantasy XIII, and Eternal Sonata, to name a few.
What is your opinion on Kevin Butler [the guy in the PlayStation 3 ads]?
I think those commercials are hilarious. I mean, they are really, really good, and some of the best video game commercials to hit the airwaves in a long time. That said, the console warriors who latch onto Kevin Butler as some messiah shows some eerie parallelism to Nintendo fans of 2004. Reggie Fils-Amie was quoted as kicking ass and taking names, and he got a lot of praise from fans for that. It feels like the same thing here with Sony fans. Third place console, needing someone to be their messiah, desperate fanboys, etc.
