Due to the response of the Sony base wanting to have fair reviewing from this thread:

What's wrong with Digital Foundry?

Retro DF is one of the best videogames show on the internet. I just love the guy.

www.neogaf.com

I am entertaining the thought of buying a PS5 and selectively picking the cream of the crop exclusive games to review with an unbiased eye. If I would take on such an endeavor, I would absolutely need the confidence of the PS gamers on this board that I wouldn't be viewed as scrutinizing the games unfairly. In order to identify 'accurate' observation, I would use my inside contacts to make sure that what I'm seeing is correct. I'm a very critical reviewer because I've seen correct implementations for years in CG so keep that in mind with ANY of the realtime platforms today (including the PC). On top of that, another thought would be if the exclusive comes out on the PC. Would you want a head-to-head comparison or not?

 

[longdi]

Yep if the small time mobile app dev Cherno got his YT income channel going.

Im sure someone more experienced like you will be a hit

Granted you need an exclusive personality

 

[Cobenzl]

Great initiative. You should do for XseriesX/PC and PS5 if you can be arsed and/or have the time.

 

[Raekwon26]

Why? What type of insight would you bring?

 

[Tschumi]

I very much prefer the idea of a minimalist, clipped series with the kind of focus you're suggesting. I have no idea who you are but yeah, any such effort is fine by me~ just live up to it~

 

[vaibhavpisal]

This is a question only you can answer.

Will you be able to stand the scrutiny done by fan following?

If yes, I say go for it. Maybe GAF could sponsor you for bringing quality content to their platform?

I personally wouldn't do it for free if I were giving my professional opinion.

 

[Falc67]

Yes, definitely. Do it for PS5, XSX and PC.

No one can really argue with you if you’ll be using your contacts (especially if they worked on the game) to make sure the information is correct.

Also, don’t just make your page about consoles, you can make it based around your work as well. Give in-depth insight into what you do etc. I’m personally interested about your work in film (The Matrix ).

 

[Azurro]

We already have Alex at Digital Foundry fanboying it up for MS and downplaying everything PS5. He already beat you to the punch.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

Definitely! You know what you are talking about and have more experience than at least 99% of us. If you don't mind some rabid fanboys attacking you over some things they refuse to accept, then I'd say go for it! Great content is something we could all benefit from.

 

[Redlancet]

to be fair no,we you know from reee here and the old gaf your hate for some sony studios will show ,if people freak out with DF you are the worst answer on that situation

 

[GHG]

Honestly I don't see the point unless you can bring something new and unique to the table.

We already have DF, NX Gamer and now to a certain extent Cherno doing this type of analysis.

Why would your perspective be unique?

But I will say (regardless of what your answer is to the question above) if you want to do it, then do it, don't let any of us tell you otherwise. I'm a full believer in people doing what they want regardless of what other people think if they believe it will enrich their lives in any way.

 

[Thugnificient]

with an unbiased eye.

 

[Insane Metal]

LOL no tks

 

[Great Hair]

Why restrict yourself to one platform?

Here is my first task to you : review Death Stranding on PS4, PS4 Pro and PC

 

[Freeman]

Try working on being unbiased first.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Sure...why not. If you can be objective to all platforms SeX, PS5 and PC.

 

[martino]

if you can vulgarize better tech your qualification make us sure you comprehend , it will be a good thing.
Also we need an eye steeping completely from DA and comparing only tech.
Expect most biased people to not like you doing that (from all side)

 

[Lanrutcon]

Sure, if only to use your threads to identify the hopeless fanboys.

Like those two and their matching tags. It's like being branded, only digital.

 

[Freeman]

Like those two and their matching tags. It's like being branded, only digital.

If they were distributed fairly more people would have them. Including this guy.

I'm yet to find out why I got this tag while someone that sends me hate PM and directly insults people don't.

Mods think you can't be down on Xbox without being a troll, almost as if there was no justification to think they are not doing a impressive job.

It comes down to Xbox users being insecure and probably reporting me way too much, trying to get me banned, as if I gave a shit. This forum should't be safeplace for Xbox fans in denial.

 

[Chankoras]

How do you "review" graphics? What parameters would you take into consideration?

 

[Lanrutcon]

If the tags were distributed fairly more people would have them. Including this guy.

Oh, that sounds like you don't agree with the mod's decision to brand you a dirty, dirty fanboy. Care to elaborate?

 

[Rentahamster]

Do what you want and back up your opinions with evidence. You're not going to be able to please everyone, especially the fanboys (unless you say something they agree with).

 

[Mod of War]

Oh, that sounds like you don't agree with the mod's decision to brand you a dirty, dirty fanboy. Care to elaborate?

Move on from this.

 

[GHG]

He already did so in the correct thread:

NeoGAF Ban Review/Justice Project

I’m forever dripping in gold. which one is you [/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler] Thanks for the Gold. I couldnt think of a less worthy poster on this site than me to have gold, but i do appreciate it. Is this like, class 4 armour that has protection from a ban-hammer? So i get to call the mods...

www.neogaf.com

You can stop baiting now.

 

[Kaiserstark]

No thanks and i don't really see why it would be only PS5 games.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Sure, if only to use your threads to identify the hopeless fanboys.

What a noob I am. I thought that was something that they put on themselves...lol

 

[Airbus Jr]

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Let me guess, PC better because unlimited powah?

 

[Thief1987]

I hope that circuses would be already opened by the end of the year, so no.

 

[Zathalus]

Only if you are aware of your implicit bias and take that into consideration in your assessment. In addition, do not compare game graphics against CGI as that is a irrelevant comparison, rather compare it to what came before and the current games contemporaries.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Most people might give you crap for this but I think it's a fine idea and up to you to make your voice distinct among the others. We have far more diversity in game reviews than we do tech analysis deep dives and there's no telling what extra voices could offer to that conversation. Personally I couldn't even tell you what qualifications DF have to do what they do, but I know yours and that makes it easier to contextualize your musings.

 

[Handy Fake]

Been trying to get in this thread for ages but there was a massive ego blocking the door.

 

[Zato]

Wow, talking about delusions of grandeur ........ nah mate, don't bother .... who the fuck are you anyway?

Are we supposed to be in awe?

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[Timberwolf25]

How about just not clicking into threads he starts.
There are others that would like to see his opinion mate.

 

[BlueXImpulse]

Xbox users and Pc users alike would love it

 

[Bankai]

Sure thing! I appreciate all tech analysis, so I'll give it a chance absolutely.

I love NXGamer for that as well. Gives us nice alternatives to DigitalFoundry, which I also love.

 

[onQ123]

Is this meltdown linked to the Xbox July 23rd showing?

Seems to be a trend did y'all come up with this in a discord meeting?


"Lets all have breakdowns & make it look like it's the Sony fans that keep attacking us"

 

[Zato]

How about just not clicking into threads he starts.
There are others that would like to see his opinion mate.

Why? Who is he exactly? why we should care about his opinion?

He is well known for his anti Sony bias, its out there in his forum histories ......... even when he was here before the split.

The whole premise is horseshit based on that fact alone.

 

[nowhat]

Why do you refer to yourself in third person?

 

[TLZ]

I am entertaining the thought of buying a PS5 and selectively picking the cream of the crop exclusive games to review with an unbiased eye.

 

[On Demand]

You? With your PC elitism? We would already the results. No point in wasting everybody's time.

 

[Jtibh]

You are biased to your rotten core.
Having said that we need different point of views, i am all against facebook and co censoring the shit out of conservatives cuz they dont like the message so as long as you can be BETTER than this alex idiot sure go ahead.

But the moment i see some retarded shrine of yours with candles lit i am out.

 

[Wunray]

I think you should do it, you seem to have a grasp on what you talk about and you should do it for all platforms as to not limit yourself.

Also do it for the salt.

 

[Deleted member 775630]

Try it out for 1 game and see how many follow you, respond to it, etc. Just 1 video takes maybe 10 hours? Script, editing, etc. So you can just try it out, and if it's not worthwhile just stop.

 

[Husky]

yes because i love vfxboy uwu

 

[Lanrutcon]

Do it.

Look at what's crawling out of the woodwork. Just imagine the graveyards your review threads would turn into. Tags getting dealt left and right, passive aggressive stabs every hour, post histories scrutinized to the nth degree, mental gymnastics and sodium so crisp you practically taste the butt sweat.

Do iiiiiiiiit.

So this is the plan huh I'm kidding


Maybe

 

[Knitted Knight]

Yes, you should OP.... if you're motivated. The lane is there for you. Just make it in video form cause nobody cares about walls of text and bickering back and forth. Plus, if you screw up in video form, people will hold you accountable which only forces you to be more careful with your PC bias and forces you to stay as objective as possible........ that is, as far as a normal guy can discern.

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

If you can review all platforms with an truly unbiased opinion and not compare anything to movie quality CG assets then go for it, the more reviews the better.
