I mean the video he is watching and reacting on is bad. Could be the video/footage itselfSo, in a video about a multiplatform game:
- He chose to include the 'Optimized for Series X' logo in the thumbnail of the video
- He chose to comment 'I'm sorry Xbox people, I really am' while it's a multiplatform game
- He chose to mention Halo: Infinite in a video about Dirt 5
Yeah, it doesn't take a genius to understand this guy is generously taking advantage of console wars and is catering to fanboys, and giving this guy a podium is a shame.
That doesn't mean Dirt 5 doesn't have issues, it does. But the way he chose to convey his message is really shameful. His involvement is game development is used to somehow legitimize/ give more weight to what he says, which is even worse.

ChemoWho?

Why not? He makes (in general) good videos.Im not clicking dat face

To be honest he does comment on his reaction and whats causing it. I still think it just a honest opinion on the footage he saw while adding some developer insight. You cant deny that the other videos he makes (if you wathed it) he clearly knows what he is talking about.It's more this, yes.
He got sent the IGN video, who later admitted their equipment was causing tearing and other issues. The DF footage showed the game in a better light.
I do think referencing Halo and continually acting like this is an Xbox Series X thing, rather than a cross-gen multi-plat, didn't help. Like yeah, it doesn't look next gen, could that be because it's not a next gen game? Doesn't take a game developer to work that out.
So, in a video about a multiplatform game:
- He chose to include the 'Optimized for Series X' logo in the thumbnail of the video and 'Is this a mobile game' in the title of the video.
- He chose to comment 'I'm sorry Xbox people, I really am' while it's a multiplatform game. If he's a game engine dev, he should know that there is no reason to assume the PS5 version will perform or look better.
- He chose to mention Halo: Infinite in a video about Dirt 5

Nah, I dont believe that. If he sees a bad game he will react on it. I dont believe this has anything to do with a console war bullshit.Should've stayed with his awesome game engine series.
These reaction videos are just an attempt to capitalize on the console war.
MM is cross gen, it looks fantastic. Dirt is just a bad looking game.

Can someone point me to something he’s made that’s comparable to Dirt 5?
You don't get it do you? It's fine to create a reaction video in which he bashes Dirt 5's visuals. He goes further than that and explicitly bashes Xbox in the process, while it's Dirt 5 that is the problem.
He doesn’t bash Xbox. Find me a quote.
I don't mean explicitly. I meant implicityly. There is no reason whatsoever for him to put so much emphasis on Xbox in a multiplatform game. It's about the total picture. I repeat:
- He chose to include the 'Optimized for Series X' logo in the thumbnail of the video and 'Is this a mobile game' in the title of the video.
- He chose to comment 'I'm sorry Xbox people, I really am' while it's a multiplatform game. If he's a game engine dev, he should know that there is no reason to assume the PS5 version will perform or look better.

All of this is chosen to attrackt a certain audience and to convey a certain message. It's purposefully misleading.

Is there gameplay of The Medium or something? Would he not take a look at that?
I heard that The Medium is meant to look good and that shooter made by one guy?!
His speculation that it must have something to do with the hardware of the XSX is more than far fetched.Great video.
People accusing him of bias are a joke. He has zero investement in any gaming company and simply calls it like he sees it.
Maybe you guys should be this critical with "journalists" that get free shit sent to them or take a nice corporate sponsored vacation.
Im not clicking dat face
He will probably get sent some of the footage for those games soon, in response to this... I am sure it's a matter of time only.Yeah, or something like Bright. This video isn't really a slight on XSX, this game will look as bad on PS5. But people are gonna use it as ammo against Xbox, which just makes them look kind of stupid.
So what is his bias and can you give an example to show it? Being impressed/unimpressed is not a bias.His speculation that it must have something to do with the hardware of the XSX is more than far fetched.
He is as unbiased, as all the people commenting in the Next Gen PS5 x XSX thread...
He says what he thinks. He also said he was not impressed by TLoU2 and explained why.Should've stayed with his awesome game engine series.
These reaction videos are just an attempt to capitalize on the console war and it's a bit unfortunate.
I've been following him for a couple of years now and I get that that first ps5 reaction video got him lots of views, but these videos (imo) do not provide much substance.

It doesn't take a game engine developer to realize that either."I watch df video about halo and disagree with half of it, some of they staffs they explained doesn't technically make any sense" savage
