Digital Foundry: “PS5 teardown is uninteresting, until we get our own hands on"

Pathetic.

They make the videos they wanna make. End.

It's not their obligation to satiisfy every stupid necessity of the fanboy brigade. And Alex is right, the teardown is uninteresting, it says absolutely nothing.
And anyone calling out Alex for that is worst than whatever he may be.

My point is that Sony did not provide a lot of information unlike Xbox until recently and with various news (like ZeniMax) Sony fanboys became sensitive and aggressive. Now with the teardown for example they immediately want DF to have a video on that as if PS is the most important thing in the existence. Like HEY, YOU KNOW PS5 JUST HAD THE TEARDOWN??? WHERE IS THE VIDEO????

In fact, I have a general feeling that Sony fanboys are afraid that Xbox might be better at something. You can really feel the aggression as soon as you mention something good about Xbox.
Sony is giving way more info than MS since 2019.

You know way more about PS5 and it’s games than Xbox Series.

Lame. Blame Sony. I'm sure DF would love to get their hands on a PS5 and give you a breakdown. What else should they do, commentate over Sony's video while saying "yes, there is a heatsink" "oh look, there is the ssd controller". Those type of videos are only interesting when we still are waiting for information on what's in the console, we know what's in the PS5.

I'm sure DF and their community that watches would be better served to wait until they can touch the console themselves.

6m are just hardcore PS fans who will watch Jim Ryan picking his nose for 1 hour.

Video was indeed boring. As a gamer, i just a want a reliable console which plays games smoothly
On what empiric ground you state that it was only seen by PS fans who will watch Jim Ryan picking his nose for 1 hour?

But if DF did make that video NeoGAF would just shit on the video and/or on DF as whole...........so instead of spending time on it, they skipped the process of actually making it and just let you shit on the video anyway and end up with the same thread we were going to get either which way.

4D Chess my friend, its time to learn to play it.


DF have been playing us for months and months.....they dont make the videos and we talk about them anyway, rewatch a bunch of their old videos to prove the videos they didnt make are shill fodder and biased and they can keep ignoring that NeoGAF exists all the same.

Hands on with the actual hardware means testing, benchmarks, and original content - the bread and butter of Digital Foundry.

The Xbox content was already planned and scheduled. The PS5 video dropped out of nowhere. The could do a quick and dirty PS5 video but it would be a glorified reaction video with no original content.

Obviously one of those avenues is more conducive to DF's workfkow. Which isn't to say that they'll never do a PS5 video either.

Some of you really have a hard on for interpreting DF's words in the most unforgiving way possible, so that it fits with your persecution complex, despite there being a perfectly reasonable explanation at hand.
 
PS5 teardown happened for some days already and DF did nothing to cover the Sony event.
While they keep doing videos about old games nobody cares.

Until when we will support this behavior from a supposed not paid marketing tool?


I honestly can't blame DF, weeks away from launch and the closest we got to the system, were some Japanese YouTube personalities who were carefully picked (hype the shit out of it)to try it out in the controlled Sony environment...say whaaa?! ..???! That shit don't look good.

Sony like, God forbid YouTubers tried any of the game loading comparisons with Series X and X stomped in every category..is this why they avoiding any exposure, and whole controlled environment thingie?! Sum fishie about this man

Pretty much.

In his post on resetera, he states that they don’t have a physical PS5 with them. Why would you want them to make a tear down video if the don’t have a PS5? Am I missing something here?

Why would you bring logic here you dweeb.
Alex is known to do video breakdowns of video breakdowns of hardware he doesnt have.....so why is he not doing the same for Sonys PS5?

This fascination over a website/youtube channel that doesn't cover what people fighting for one side wants them to cover is becoming pathetic.

If you don't like them stop drawing attention to them.

They are in control over what they want to cover and how they cover it. Its their Channel and their time. Get over it already.

so the video is there for all to see, there isn't much special to the video tbh. the difference here is Digital foundry were invited to Microsoft head quarters and actually got to play about with the parts inside the series X.

Sony hasn't done that or handed out PS5 as of yet, there isn't much to report on regarding the PS5 and the video Sony put out is informative enough. dos we need another video that would actually say the same?

this is just creating controversy were there is none

You make no sense OP whatsoever...
Why DF would make a video teardown on a console they don't have access to ?
The teardown of the Xbox series X was made with... A Series X console in their hands !!!
 
Seems like Bethesda wasn't Microsoft's only purchase. DF did several Series X hardware teardown analysis, but now that Sony releases its own they call it "uninteresting".
Surely you can tell the difference between doing a breakdown video yourself and doing a breakdown video on a breakdown video?
 
Honestly if you want commentary on the PS5s teardown there are other tech minded youtubers that did it already.



NXGamer NXGamer is one of the better ones out there. There are also others like Innocence that also have interesting things to say about it.

While it's a shame there Digital Foundry doesn't want to make a video about it it's their choice. I will say that Alex could have said it a bit better though.
 
This is such a bullshit response by Digital Foundry's Alex. If the video was "uninteresting", then why did DF make their own (which was exclusive) for the XSX?




It has about 400k views. An "ABSOLUTE REVOLUTION IN CONSOLE DESIGN!" they said. Pretty INTERESTING, right?

Now, the Playstation 5 Teardown has roughly 7M views. I guess the masses found one teardown more "interesting" than the other.

I can completely understand that DF may not have a video because they are working on projects, but to claim the PS5 Teardown was uninteresting and does not have a lot of information is a load of bullshit. It answers a lot of questions that Rich was pondering about and is very well designed and even a first in console gaming with Liquid Metal as the thermal interface.

Well, we can wait till they have there hands on it. Really not a big deal and no point them doing it twice. Other channels don’t do there own breakdowns so no point them doing it twice

They are supposedly more than qualified to provide at least preliminary analysis based on everything that was shown, until they have the hardware in their hands, just like many other youtube channels already did. NX Gamer was able to perfectly draw a very insightful commentary by doing just that. It's just a matter of will.

A bunch of idiots. And I'm not referring just to Resetera.
You cover PS5 and some people think you are paid by Sony. You cover XBOX and other people think you paid by MS.

This happen when you try to please this idiots, they feel important and they want more. DF should threat them as the idiots they are.

I don't see why Digital Foundry has to upload content you decide, otherwise it's "videos nobody cares about" and they are paid Microsoft shills.

I'm sure if Sony had sent a PS5 to DF, or even invited them to test one, you'd have just as many videos as about the Xbox Series X - which they actually have. Instead Sony prioritized the opinion of this guy;

They chose wisely.

I hope DF does this just to spite all man boys that implode in agony over their piece of plastic not get enough attention. But the truth is probably something more boring. Maybe as boring as that tear down..
