==Trivia==
*In Corruption, one of the dead marines on the G.F.S. Valhalla is named after him.
*Petersen's stove was used to create some of the thirty sound effects for Samus Aran's Gunship in Corruption."While we focused heavily on creature sounds, UI and world sounds, one of the biggest undertakings was Samus's ship. The ship sounds were assembled from quite a few elements: Scott's stove, Kyma'd whales, simple FM synthesis, and many sample-based Absynth patches. We did around 30 scenes featuring Samus's ship. It was such a cool challenge to keep all of the ship content consistent but still fresh for each appearance." http://www.gl33k.com/#/metroid-prime-3-corruption/
*Kenji Yamamoto stated that Petersen and Clark Wen were his "best [email] friends" during the development of the Prime series, due to the extensive email exchanges and conference calls they shared.https://web.archive.org/web/20090228072301/http://www.music4games.net/Features_Display.aspx?id=174
*Wen and Petersen were nominees at the 2004 NAVGTR Awards in the category of Sound Effects for their work on Echoes.
*Bryan Walker praised Petersen's work ethic in an interview, additionally saying that his coordination of the sound design with Retro's audio teams and those based in Japan, made his own job as Development Director much easier.Reilly, Reece.
