Oh man, all that yapping for nothing.
Untrue. So many different factors can impact your enjoyment of something. Most of the time, you don't even notice that it is impacting how you feel about a person, place or thing. People are influenced by their environment/mood.

If this is about video capture I am a bit confused. I am a little surprised that the PS4 video capture technology does not allow for the export of raw video. Isn't it stored on the hard drive after you capture it? Seems like it would be trivial to take the hard drive out and access the video files on a PC.
I am wondering if in order to appease content producers Sony had to make concessions along the lines of how the video used. If that's written into a ToS it could put video reviewers in a bind if other avenues of capturing video are limited by HDCP.

Hell yeah Albert, I was not sure if MS can take anymore...but still 720p in 2013 is kinda bad my friend.
Seems to me like Gies' Twitter post saying that AC4 for PS4 is going to be reviewed because *it* is ok to review might be implying that the review events for PS4 haven't been on actual consoles but dev kits.
Maybe that has something to do with Sessler not being able to publish video reviews for PS4?

Read above dude. Twitter = not the most detailed communication method. Just went into detail.
Sony only makes killzone and knack though. I don't think they are at liberty to decide what to do with games they don't make, including sending out review copies.

I don't get why a super staged and controlled review event would be such a big deal now all of a sudden. Isn't this how the games media has worked for the last 5 years or so? Didn't you fly to some air craft carrier to "review/preview" call of duty games?

Sessler has sponsors... I believe Netflix is one of them.
lol. Yup one of few good days for MS, where nothing went wrong on your end.
I really hope that's not what it is, because Jesus.

Seriously. If your handle is Annoyed Gamer and your persona is Annoyed Gamer. Just fucking say it. Fuck. But he'll be there with bells on at this private review event and then yell afterwards. How about this? Just say no. No. It's not hard. You just say N-O. No controlled review events. Give us the fucking system and games. That's it. No review events. I'm not trusting one fucking thing that comes out of this review event. Hear me game journalists? You post a preview or review from this event, I will take it with a grain of salt and a heap of bullshit. Have some self-respect.

What is up with these consoles? Xbone not able to run CoD:G @1080p (still running on the optimized Quake 3 engine), and PS4 hitting 1080p but with reportedly variable frame rate. There is no chance of these consoles pushing 4k (unless you chain them together) which will likely be pervasive in the next 2 years . I've had the same gaming rig for over 2 and a half years running 6990's in xfire and pushing a 30" monitor at 2560x1600. I joined the BF4 beta and ran it with no problems on my rig at that resolution at high frame rates.
I would expect that these new gaming consoles would be as or more powerful than my nearly 3 year old pc gaming rig, or at least running these launch games at 1080p and locked 60fps. Especially given that the games are usually heavily optimized for the hardware and these consoles have custom APU's with unified memory connected to proprietary bus capable of speeds ~20GB/s which is much faster than even PCIe x16.
I have preordered both the PS4 and Xbone but all of this resolution talk makes me scratch my head. We had HD games that ran at 1080i/p a generation ago on the PS2/Xbox, how is 1080p at 60fps not the lowest bar set for the launch titles on this generation of consoles, especially with 4k peeking over the horizon.

If Sony is starting to dictate how reviews are handled and even when and where, it would seriously tick people off especially those that have been doing reviews a set way for years. It makes sense why there is such anger. Might be enough for somebody to say, F it, I'm out.

Absolutely blown out of proportion.
This is not the first time or the last...
But seriously, this kind of shit needs to go.
Oh, that's a relief. If this isn't about YouTube monetization or capturing footage then it's not a huge deal for non-press. There are a lot of "pro" gamers that might be screwed if it was an ad revenue thing, but if this is about publishers making people play their games for review in a certain room or something like that, it's not a big blow to gamers. It still sucks though and makes these big publishers continue to look like bullies.
Also, thumbs up to AG. His tweets have given us the biggest pieces of info.

lol i remember hearing some shit on the bombcast about that. they flew the guys in a helicopter to the event or something. weird
Signs that Kevin Dent might not be truthful about a given situation:
- Kevin Dent speaks
- Kevin Dent Tweets
- Kevin Dent participates in a forum discussion
- Kevin Dent talks about Sony or Nintendo

But they arent. Companies are doing reviews for PS4 already, Polygon specifically is reviewing AC4 on PS4.
As best as I can rap my head around this, this is the gaming worlds equivalent of the US government say that Edward Snowden wasn't a legitimate journalist so he didn't get the same rights and privileges as a "real" approved establishment journalist.
Yeah. Blacklisting has been an industry practice since forever. What unprecedented shift has occurred for Adam to contemplate leaving the industry?

Yeah it is not that hard to cut through, but isn't it their responsibility as professionals to find a solution for themselves rather than just complaining over social media?
No wonder Bish took shelter...
Which is a threat to external validity in research. The setting in which something is held often times produce results that are generalizable to the greater population.
Absolutely nothing. Big deal, game "journalists" have a slightly different environment when reviewing if true. I guess it's slightly irritating to have to go up to a table to get your swag bag instead of just having it shipped to your door.
This is the quintessential truth ruth.

How dare they doing something like this before the start of a new console generation. Maybe they even get offered alcoholic drinks which would severely cloud their ability to review those games!
welcome back birdie....as long as PS4 still rocking X1 powerwise, I don't give a flying F*CK about anything else. here is a picture of a Flying F*ck for people who doesn't know it

Totally. If this isn't something big any respect I had for Sessler is pretty much gone.

Exactly!
Nothing was about you, except for all of the stuff that impacts the games and consumers.
You're testing a product in perfect set conditions that are controlled by the manufacturer vs real world scenarios.
Its why auto reviewers do road tests and track tests.
One will be set so no issues will be apparent where as the other is unpredictable and makes finding problems easier.

Hell I still remember GameFan talking about their Goldeneye review, how Nintendo sent a few guys in suits with a locked up N64 in a special box and they hovered over while they played it for a few hours, then took off with it. THAT was their "review" copy.
But it's been happening for years. Shane Bettenhausen reviewed MGS4 at some fucking resort in Malaysia or wherever over the course of a 2 day holiday. Why the "frustration" now?
BF4 on PC and Killzone: Shadow Fall on PS4 is how I'm going to satisfy my shooter needs. At least Sony's first party teams are still holding to the 1080p ideal. I think building an engine specifically for next gen helps. Case in point: NBA 2K14, 1080p@60fps.
You have been quite the warrior and perhaps the most prominent figure in the console wars if I had to figure. You are working hard and I for one am glad that we have a representative willing to communicate with us because we don't have the same thing with Sony. You sir deserve a good night sleep for sure.
Garrett, those precious days happen once every 8 years man, you need to pour it all at once lol
