Shuhei Yoshida Calls Rich Of ReviewTechUSA's Recent Video 'So Stupid' Twice

Shuhei Yoshida calls Rich Of ReviewTechUSA's recent video about the PS4 and Xbox One launch disaster 'So stupid'

[black0o]

can someone post a link to that video .. thx

wall said Mr Yoshida

[Gazondaily]

You'd be better off drinking 5 litres of bleach. That video is just ridiculous.

Well..you asked for it:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[black0o]

it's was the one from that article ..:S I couldn't keep wasting time on it and I'm amaze by the comments there ..

some ppl are believing this nonsense :O

[cleft5]

Good on Yoshida for saying it like it is. Overly dramatic, click based crap like this is why Sony or Microsoft doesn't include a lot of Youtube people in their press reviews for their console. Seriously, this is just so stupid.

[Thehyph]

Maybe that guy figured it all out.

Maybe back when I had a 33.6 modem the games looked like crap because of my bad network connection!

Oh wait, nope. It's because it was 1997.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

So according to this video online infrastructure affects the resolution of a game that you can potentially play the offline portion of...? Anyone else thinking his 'birds' is just another word for his ass?

[Gamingcapacity]

If the update will disable DRM then all the data files will still be on the launch console for somebody to expose. If they planned DRM it will come out. I'd be surprised id anybody finds anything.

Also if they did plan DRM like MS, I thought that you could use the console without being online and without the update. Can somebody confirm/debunk this? If it can then we already have the answer to if the day one update disables DRM.

[EXVirtual]

You're telling me.
There are articles from February consisting of interviews from Mark Cerny and Shuhei Yoshida that the PS4 wouldn't include DRM. Why would Sony lie to the masses at E3, the biggest gaming event of the year? Yoshida even said that you don't need to connect to the internet to play the PS4 and you don't need a day one patch. Plus, the patch is only 300MB, much smaller than the update MS has (not hating on MS either, RTU is spreading BS all around).

If COD Ghosts is running at 720p because of network problems, then why are we getting KZSF as a launch title running at 1080[ native.
There's so much melodramatic FUD un that video, it's ridiculous.
Rich continuously spreads FUD and dumbass predictions. It's all hate with him. He even says mobiles will kill off consoles.
I'm glad Shuhei responded to this when he was asked, because otherwise, even more people would believe that stupid video.
Then he's like
'All companies care about is money' At the beginning of the video: 'This video was brought to you by Gamersgate.'

[Xsilver]

So this idiot just said that the COD will be gimped to 720p on PS4/Xone because of online WTF -__- what am i watching and sad thing is he said these are from his reliable sources faceplam with a baseball bat
I'm done http://i.imgur.com/6CVCYj1....

[CYCLEGAMER]

While the video gets a little far fetched, you have to admit that their is definitely something weird going on with these consoles.

[Hatsune-Miku]

Definitely something weird with consoles we dont have yet so we should believe any negatives from anyone on the Internet. The video is full of pure stupidity that doesnt make sense. There are too many things to discredit so just discredit everything

e-beggar e-beggar

I can't wait for ps4 on day one.

[BuLLDoG909]

funny thing is, shu responding is giving that vid thousands of hits it wouldnt of got.

the vid is clearly trying to cash in for the hits, and the guys source is his own asshole.

[n4rc]

Anyone can make up an anonymous source....

You'd think every single hardware maker and game developer had employees willing to risk their jobs to provide some idiot youtubber or forum troll inside info with nothing to gain

[DragonKnight]

I called bullsh*t on that video the second I heard him say Microsoft's network wasn't ready. I'm no MS fan as all of you know, but Microsoft would sooner be caught dead than have their most important not be ready for launch. MS put everything they have into Live, there is absolutely no way they'd EVER let it falter with so much riding on it.

Then the icing on the cake was when Rich tried to say that Sony's patch is to disable DRM, something they've said since BEFORE the MS blowout that they didn't have.

Absolute utter nonsense.

[PSjesus]

my eyes

[NukaCola]

How does the internet affect the graphics of a single player campaign? Rhis all seem really stupid.

[jujubee88]

Damn it Rich! Have quality control over your content!

Actually, he was starting to be one of my fav yt personalities. This video is just an appeal to emotion.. why do you have "please share" in the title of your video rich? You have never done that to your vid titles before. (To my knowledge)

This is troubling and I worry about the person behind the content. I hope he's not thinking of going into siding with fanboy mentality (bc a lot of his stuff talks about eliminating illogical biases when it comes to gaming).....

edit: I hope he takes down the video and uploads and updated one just to save himself from any further embarrassment.

[UltimateMaster]

He's generally a good guy.
But he got force fed false misleading information that got him in this mess.

He made a great reviews of the 2DS and the Vita.
and I would agree with everything he said in those videos.

This video he just made just came out of nowhere.

We already knew you had to keep the PS3 Disc for the PS4 to work the game. It was on their blog.
It would have been too easy, you would've have just rented the game then purchase the PS4 version for 10$ + 4$ (rental).

It certainly gave him some publicity in some regards.
Not good publicity, but more people got to notice him.

I'm guessing these "so-called sources" did not wanted to post that information on their Youtube Channel because they would've gotten the heat that Rich just got.
And I bet they never will post that information because they won't want to "damage" their own reputation.
Poor Rich got used as a scape-goat.

[Deadpoolio]

Holy crap that's the dumbest video I've ever watched...Good god someone on youtube obviously wanted some attention....He does realize that the "update" is 300mb right. Just like the standard day one enabling MP like every game on the planet

[finbars75]

I agree with you on on that one,the problem is I didnt have any bleach so my curiousity got the better of me and my god my ears where bleeding after listneing to him spew on and on about"well thats what I heard" every second.Its almost like he likes to listen to himself talk over and over like a broken record.Unfortunatley his information sounds as credible as a 10 year old watching sesame street and thinking Oscar the grouch is real.I dont think we have anything to worry about other then a few little kinks you get at any launch of any game or console.

[iamnsuperman]

I actually cannot believe what I just watched. It is lunacy from both Xbox One and PS4 negative news

What makes things even more stupid is the author of the video is deleting comments point out the stupidity (stay classy rich)

[Veneno]

His source is HipHop Gamer.

[Mister_G]

Killzone Shadowfall, 1080p @ 60fps in multiplayer. Just saying :)

[Muerte2494]

@Xsilver,

COD:GHOST is native 1080p/60fps for both multiplayer and single player on PS4. Xbox One single player is 1080/30fps and multiplayer 720p/60fps. Jeremy Conrad via neogaf.

[mistertwoturbo]

I just drank 5 litres of bleach and feel great.

After I watched that video, I puked all the bleach out.

[johndoe11211]

I gotta hand it to rich, He's done something that I never dreamed was possible. He got both ps4 and xbox fans to come together in a post on n4g and unite in agreeing with each other on one thing, he's a moron.

[come_bom]

If the video is true or not, i don't know... but did anybody really expect Shuhei Yoshida to confirm that the video was true?

There is one thing about the video that's true... No corporation (Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo) give a sh*t about the users... what they want is positive PR and make the most money they can. Who believes otherwise is very naive.

[FamilyGuy]

This is probably the third video I've ever watched from that rich guy and I've had disdain for all of them. This one was by far the worst though.

At the February reveal, or immediately after it, Sony officials were asked about DRM and from the very start they said "It'll work the same way it works today", "It's up to the devs/publishers if they want to add it with things similar to the online pass".

Even if Sony did have DRM they definitely weren't "reacting to MS getting negative feedback about it". They said "No" well before the X1 was ever announced. On top of that we "don't have to download the day 1 patch to play our games". PS4 games will work without ever connecting to the internet.

The other thing that annoys me is that he keeps claiming the PS4 would've been "$499" with the camera bundled. That makes no sense whatsoever as the camera and PS4 together only add up to $460. In all scenarios the PS4 would have been less expensive while superior in technology.

The whole resolution relating to online structure and online network "being in shambles" is plain ridiculous all on its own. Killzone SF is 1080p 60fps online, yet "DriveClub, The Crew and Watch_Dogs were delayed because of a poor online network"?
Worst of all he's saying everything in a matter-of-fact tone.

Yosh: "So stupid"

Yeah, I agree.

[LonDonE]

NO its because the video is STUPID and RETARDED! how can resolution of a game or graphics have anything to do with network infrastructure? the guy made so many dumb comments in the video and totally killed his credibility and he just regurgitated what he read online without any research and now must pay the price! he doesn't have any sources, he talking nonsense and is a total laughing stock now! he is a supposed core gamer, who games on pc and consoles like me and most core gamers, and yet fails to understand fundamental basic things about how games and games consoles work!

Seriously how on earth does making the game in 720p effect the network? the graphics are rendered locally in the console gpu and are not rendered in a cloud farm and then sent to the ps4, so how on earth can network problems determine resolution? even ,my wife know better and laughed when she heard the video! he makes outlandish claims with no facts to back it up!

Even if Sony has drm in place like xbox1, the fact is they removed it before anyone was any wiser adter seeing the shit storm by gamers, but Microsoft still tried to pull it off, which i repeat would have made gaming worse off for us the consumers! its because Sony didn't follow m$ that forced Microsoft to do a 180! the pre order numbers spoke volumes! this is fact, so irrelevant of Sony alleged drm the fact is they didnt go through with it, while xbox tried to force it on us just like kinnect! and only changed policy after PS4 was handing their ass to them!

I own and Game on all platforms, but after having a total of 7 xbox 360s red ring on me, and now this drm kinnect crap, i just cannot support a company as greedy as Microsoft and so for the first time i will not be buying all platforms at launch, and instead will make do with my wii u, gaming pc, and ps4! I love nintendo but lately some of the decisions they have made have realy ticked me off, i still support them because i love them, but one thing i can say in my opinion is that Sony has always put the core gamers first, and its why i love them and support them also!

Seriously you guys can thumb whore me down all you want,but i keep it real, its my opinion, and as adults we are allowed to differ in them! next thing i know some loser will most likely comment on my grammar because he has nothing of any value to say, who cares this is the internet! i speed type, and so make mistakes, as long as the reader gets the point of it, its fine!

[guitarded77]

It reminds me of some Alex Jones conspiracy theories.

[nosferatuzodd]

mr yoshida you're my hero

[Eonjay]

He is wrong. Xbox's online isn't in shambles and a bad network connection WOULD NOT cause a game to run in 720P. Also, DRM would not cause network issues. Also, Sony announced that no on physical media months before the reveal.

Plus we ALREADY KNOW that Ghost is 1080p on PS4 so, his "sources" are late and wrong.

[Ju]

This guys just committed publicity suicide. Total BS. Couldn't even finish the video. While I had the feeling he almost started off with something he totally lost it on the way. This is so ridiculous. Not even funny.

[ThanatosDMC]

I stopped watching after i got bored with his tone of voice and how much he talked BS. Sucks i gave his video a hit.

[Docknoss]

Saying "so stupid" as a response is "so stupid"! With news like this coming to light some PR would be nice. Playing it off like nothing tells me Sony is hiding something. Especially with gametrailers and Adam Sessler up in arms over something Sony isn't telling us. Something is up

[TheFutureIsBlue]

This guy could have been remembered for making Youtube videos, but instead he will be remembered for this. Shu has spoken!

Have fun

[Abriael]

The video is so overdramatic and overacted that it's obviously a visibility grab, with no credibility whatsoever.

[static5245]

Day one patch shut off DRM even though Sony said that you can play your game fine without the patch. So whats the point of DRM? Sony sucks at DRM.

Sony waited to see the response of X1 DRM policies? Well they didn't need to wait long. The first hint of DRM people were going to burn MS to the ground. Sony had plenty of time to remove it before the final stages of the PS4

[Serg]

@static

Sony said there is no online only and 24h check in February, at the reveal event... 3 months before we even knew what MS was up to. There were several interviews with a couple of Sony officials all responding with "no" when asked about DRM.

All your pointless post is saying is, that you are on the same level as the jackass who made the video.

[sobekflakmonkey]

@static5245

you don't need to download the patch for the PS4, when you buy the console you can plug all your stuff in and turn it on put a game in and start playing, you don't need the update whatsoever to play games....so no....clearly there was never DRM...I think guys like Adam Sessler are upset over something completely different and it has to do with them being able to record video for reviewing games, there seems to be an issue with that right now, either that, or only a select group of gaming journalists are being aloud into this Sony Preview event, naturally people are gonna be pissed because it gives every other journalist an edge over them making it harder for them to attain readers intern messing with their lively hood, but thats about it, and GT seems to be nothing but excited about the PS, teasing stuff for the VGA's it seems.

[ChrisW]

The DRM thing was rumored back when the PS4 was first debuted, but then they tried their damnest to rebute it.

[nukeitall]

I think it is this one:

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Why is Yoshida responding to what is obviously just trying to make fun?

It's beneath you Yoshida, or did you just lower yourself to it?

Thought 1080p on CoD:Ghost on Wii U was pretty funny!

[r21]

If the dude thought it was stupid, let it be. Its his personal twitter account :L

[DragonKnight]

Yoshida is responding because someone asked him to. He's responding to the individual, not the video.

And the fact that you think the video is "just trying to make fun" is absolutely stupid. You may be an MS fanboy, but I know you're not THAT dense.

[Hicken]

"You may be an MS fanboy, but I know you're not THAT dense."

You have more faith in him than I do, then.

[Ju]

Can't be much wrong in calling that thing stupid. No matter who's saying it.

[solidjun5]

"You may be an MS fanboy, but I know you're not THAT dense."

May?!?! Nukeitall probably has a tattoo of their logo on the lower part of his/her back.

[ThanatosDMC]

LOL!!! Bubbles for you solidjun5!

[Abriael]

The funniest part is that the guy claims that COD: Ghosts is 720p because of networking problems.

That shows how "credible" his sources are. Graphics have absolutely NOTHING to do with network. The game isn't livestreamed via gaikai, all graphical assets reside locally on your hard disk.

Complete bogus.

[Prime157]

Yeah,I heard this and went, "omg, idiots are going to believe this guy"

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

graphics=/=resolution

That aside, you're still correct.

[black0o]

^^ u need to understand what the res built on

[davekaos]

I cant believe that he actually replied to me after calling the guy who made the video a clown

https://twitter.com/davekao...

[DragonKnight]

DUDE!! Shu replied to me with a troll pic! He's such a BOSS!

https://twitter.com/yosp/st...

[Xsilver]

That amount of stupidity should be contained i swear that was the dumbest vid I've ever seen it created its own category.

[Cha0tik]

Not trying to sound like a fanboy but I don't think that this is true. If it is then wouldn't someone just have to not update the PS4 and do some "hacking" to find the truth within the code? They wouldn't make it easy to find the truth. I honestly believe that the first day patch is to keep unauthorized reviewers from posting early PS4 content with all the features before launch. I may be wrong but till they are really exposed with sources it's hard to believe.

[bleedsoe9mm]

if sony is having network issues because they had drm and lied about it , THIS IS EARTH SHATTERING NEWS

[Bobby Kotex]

That reviewtech guy is one of the most annoying people on youtube. And that's saying a lot.

[MuhammadJA]

of course he'll say it's stupid. it was against sony and the ps4. that guy did mention some valid points. also, the removal of this article is proof:

http://ps4daily.com/2013/06...

[kenshiro100]

The sheer amount of idiocy in this is astounding.

[aviator189]

Yoshida, calling it like it is.
Glad he put that disaster-scenario crap into its place.

[Thisisjuju]

I know, right. Just hope this asshat doesn't get more hits because of Shu.

According to his logic. "My laptop graphics suck, better upgrade my internet connection!"

What a mong.

[NarooN]

This Rich guy has accomplished two incredible things:

1) Screwed up bad enough to have Mr. Yoshida HIMSELF call his video out as being utter nonsense.

2) Somehow found a way to have Sony and Microsoft fans BAND TOGETHER to agree on how his video is utter nonsense.

This is a landmark day.

[EmptySkyForm]

Fired Shots!

[HyperBear]

I can't believe Rich would actually be that naïve to think all those negative points about the Xbox One and PS4 would be credible enough from his "I can't say their name" sources to make a video about it and almost believe in everything he said was true.

Thank god I unsubscribed from his channel...

[EmptySkyForm]

Here is the link to the video.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[EXVirtual]

That video by RTU was beyond ridiculous.
He always goes on about how he hates people using anonymous sources, but then he pull this crap.
Good thinkg Yoshida put this to rest before it got out of control... but the YT comment section... damn. People love to jump the gun.
Especially the part about the whole COD Ghosts running at 720p on the PS4 and XBO because of networking. Lol.
Resolution has nothing to do with networking. Almost sounds like MisterX Media talking.

[pyramidshead]

lol Amen. He even tried to debunk 1080p cod ghosts on PS4 because people heard it on some article based on the Brazil conference....yet anyone who watched the conference actually heard it with their own ears(me included)when Adam Boyes said it.

[Enemy]

Nameless sources are the new hype. These idiots should be sued for fabricating BS, honestly.

[Kinger8938]

I read the tweet as him saying the content of the video was stupid, the idea of network issues effecting a game outputting at 1080p, not an attack on the individual but thats just how i saw this

[DragonKnight]

It would be correct if he said it about either.

[RiPPn]

haha it was pretty clear the ReviewTechUSA guy was trying to spread FUD and get hits. His claim was that COD ran at 720P on the PS4 to help with network issues. lol and he tried to say that the Boyes claim that it was 1080P was made up by a south american press and not a direct quote, when there is a video of Boyes saying it. Too funny!

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[johndoe11211]

Oh rich, rich rich......what were you thinking?

[mushroomwig]

Adsense, that's what he was thinking.

[DestinyHeroDoomlord]

Not having a good one now hey ;)

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

cant believe Yoshida even acknowledged this.

[Juangie3]

Its direct and to the point these journalists are just crying foul because they have to wait like everyone else.

[Nekroo91]

Rich so activision confirms 1080p resolution on the ps4, Yoshida says that the 720p is stupid and you make a vid like that?!

your source is MisteryX and his friends probably

[OMNlPOTENT]

hahaha this video is hilarious. It's along the same lines of MY DAD'S FRIEND WORKS AT NINTENDO AND HE SAYS THIS. Anyone can /claim/ they have reliable sources.

[5eriously]

More like "My dad and his friend works as the directors of toilet cleaning services respectively at Sony and Microsoft and both have inside information and UNDERSTANDS of all the technical details and problems of all the hardware and software developments on the PS4 and XB0Ne at these corporations, they have direct access to the designers and development teams so they know more than Penello and Yoshida"

What a bunch of malicious idiots crawled from the deep and dark dungeon or gutters of the interwebz. A rumour is one thing but going overboard are just so weak. Soon these idiots will be known for the garbage they spread and their reputations will be in tatters! I guess they will just troll the webz under new nicks siding with the best and top console to feel popular!

[Sephiroushin]

These people that works for Sony, MS, Nintendo or the likes do not risk their work and getting sued by the company for a stupid leak. I have an uncle that work on the industry directly with and for Sony, and when I ask him things about this and that he do not tell me anything at all, I just get a "you will know soon" and sometimes a tip; to top that a lot of them do not have access to many of the info ... The only thing I got from him are a lot of beta passes and collectible stuff but not internal info...
Most of the time the reliable info that youtubers and w/e gets is taken up from their own A ...

[CocoWolfie]

dont give him the views, just read the comments :) for what i gathered before turning off he talks about the network not being up to date, hence why watch dogs and the crew were held back as well as drive club.
shuhei is right... i mean because no other games likes bf4 with 64 players (i think its 64?) with tablet connectivity, with battlelog are coming out. no games like killzone shadow fall, with the 24 players (sorry if im wrong) arent going online at all.

[DestinyHeroDoomlord]

Not to mention cod's large install base

[Cernunnos]

Or Elder Scrolls Online which is a full mmo. Or Planetside.

[My_precious]

go Shu, you have my sword

[Hicken]

And my bow!

[InTheLab]

This same dude was all on board with PS4 following MS to doom with DRM....and he's still at it?

Unsubscribed a while a go. This guy is full of s***.

Both MS and Sony's servers are broken because they were built around DRM? GTFO....

He says Driveclub and Watchdogs were delayed for their heavy online components but somehow the annually broken CoD isn't delayed and BF4 isn't delayed and Killzone SF isn't delayed.

STFU Rich. Shout out to @Yosp...

[sprinterboy]

Guess we're not playing kz4 cause of network issues/s

[NewAgeisHere]

Well the fact that Sony may have had a similiar DRM in place wouldn't surprise me, the more important thing is that they didn't go ahead with it - that's all that matters to me.

[MysticStrummer]

Exactly. DRM is the future, unless consumers speak with their wallets and refuse to buy products that incorporate it. Every company that sells products like that will consider DRM. I too give Sony props for not going that route, no matter what they may have had in mind before making that decision.

[johndoe11211]

I agree with you on this. I'm not saying they didn't have it, I don't know but if they did (which I believe is possible) they have still earned my respect more than microsoft because they didn't wait to see preorder numbers before they decided to remove it, they removed it because their customers were against it.

Microsoft went about this all wrong. The way sony handled it (again, if that drm thing is true) showed them in a positive light and a lot more customer oriented unlike microsoft who just said "screw you" and tried to shove it down our throats.

[davekaos]

And it started off as a reply to my tweet

https://twitter.com/davekao...

[Yomiro]

Now they want to drag along the PS4 to the Xbox1 disaster.

[Back-to-Back]

TheySoMad

[LemonSlice]

I wonder who are those reliable sources he talked about...

Anyway about that DRM stuff he said about Sony's day one patch, didn't Sony confirmed its possible to play on PS4 offline without that patch?
http://n4g.com/news/1380890...

[andibandit]

He problably used the N4G comments section as his source

[NeoTribe]

Reviewtech has turned I to just a youtuber for rumors and gossip. He use to actually review tech....

[Mikelarry]

at this guy blabbing

http://s240.photobucket.com...

[KillrateOmega]

Amen to that, Shuhei.

A little over a third of the way through the video, the guy says claims that both the PS4 and the XB1 will run Ghosts at 720p, not 1080p, due to network issues.

...Graphical fidelity has literally nothing to do with a system's network functionality.

Immediately after this, the guy goes on to state that, according to one of his 'sources', that Ghosts will run at native 1080p on the Wii U. And instead of outright denying this particular rumor, he basically says, "It's possible."

I stopped watching here, I just couldn't bear to listen to anymore of this drivel. This guy is so obviously full of bull**** that it's kind of funny.

[Flyingdog670]

I don't understand his last statement, if the PS4 was DRM focused, wouldn't it have leaked out like the X1 did? Plus, for a guy that does news about tech, i thought he would already know that you don't need the patch to play games. So if the PS4 was DRM focused, you would NEED the patch to even play it, like the X1. God... this gut is just as bad as MisterXMedia.

[MacDonagh]

It's possible that publishers were told not to follow through with their DRM practices after the Xbox One DRM bombed and Microsoft's share price dropped. It makes a lot of sense that both Sony and Microsoft were exploring this option because it wouldn't make any sense for multi-platform games to have DRM in one console and none on the next.

It's really strange. A couple of game journos are freaking out quite a bit and there may be something going on. Sessler is usually a calm guy and his cryptic rants on Twitter convey that something is amiss.

Now if either of the consoles have some sort of hardware problem or online issue; it'll be all very visible to see. I hope that doesn't happen but something is afoot.

[Shippou87]

well, we all know Rich is a has no life, if you look at ALL of his past vids, he RARELY says anything good, its all hate with him.

God knows how much he hated on Nintendo and stuff... after all he is just another one of those guys who loves rumours and loves to spread them around, in the end it will either hurt him or hurt the companies that are not doing anything wrong in the 1st place

[OrangePowerz]

BF4 and CoD come out on launch and they are both focused on MP.

Online has squat to do with the game resolution. Servers only calculate position data and input data and nothing to do with graphics.

As for problems on launch that is probably nothing that can be avoided on either platforms. As we learned over the last few years online launches are always problematic.

Regarding his claim on Sony DRM and the day one firmware update disabling it, games can be played without the firmware update so obviously that claim isn`t true. We know what happens when DRM needs to be deactivated, that you need to download an update before you can play at all.

[AnteCash]

That guy when ever there is bad stuff about x1 he always brings in ps4 even tho it has nothing to do with x1 issues.

[shanksya]

HELL NO! This dude just tells it like it is. He is just stating what his sources brought to him.

[wishingW3L]

he's always been very pro-Sony but this video in particular is just speculation from his part based on recent rumors and "unnamed sources".

Sony fans are really blowing this out of proportion like always. Even if you go to his videos to hate and click disagree guess what, that's what he wants! For each view on the video he only gets more money.

[cell989]

no, he has never been pro-sony, he has always been pro-xbox and this video finally shows hi true colors, a fanboy of the highest order lol

[saber00005]

If you watch the video...

To the guy in the video, I have a couple of questions for him.

1. Since when does graphic performance resolution have ANYTHING to do with networking? As an IT guy, PLEASE explain this to me.

2. Why should I believe what your saying is "true" when you claim you can't give any sources?

Your points and logic makes NO sense.

[cell989]

one more question: why is the PS4 playable day one without the need of the day 1 patch, if in fact it has DRM still activated? you dont even have to connect it online to start playing it smh...

[saber00005]

YUP!

[buynit]

This would be insane if its True! Time will tell.. If that code was written someone will find it..

[despair]

Insane would be right, graphics has nothing to do with network performance and claiming that automatically invalidates all other stupid "insider information" he is claiming to have gotten.

Also his claim that the day one update is to remove DRM is stupid because according to the update features list its not necessary to update to play games (offline) and if it was removing DRM then it would not even be able to play retail games out the box.

[christrules0041]

All credibility went out the window when he said that the resolution is getting reduced to 720p because of the network. Killzone Shadowfall couldn't run 1080p at launch with his logic. Plus Adam Boyes already confirmed 1080p native on the PS4.

[GirlOnFire]

I can't believe how stupid I felt hearing his stupid comments on that video. Ghosts on PS4 is confirmed 1080p and DRM is a big joke to Sony. Misinformed and he gives false info out.

[SpideySpeakz]

Damn, its Quiet. Good lord. By the way, do you like Spiders... in a romantic way? :)

[GirlOnFire]

I'm not sure what your asking me. Sorry?

[Golden_Mud]

When people realize this is all true , there gonna shit on there pants ; this guy got a lot of rumors right

[isarai]

yeah like PS3 and PS2 running of binary code only and resolution being effected by network issues? i wouldn't trust anyone that dumb

[christrules0041]

Networking has nothing to do with game resolutions though. Say your playing COD and someone walks around the corner a worse network would make that person come around the corner after they already are. When they shoot you it looks like they 1 shooted you and you watch the killcam and they nailed you with half a clip. Or say you see someone walking around a corner going out of your sight of view, you shoot where they were and get the kill even though he is already around the corner. Those are things to do with the online infrastructure. Nothing to do with resolutions.

[metalgod88]

While this stuff could be true, It's only one guy with sources he can't give. But at the same time, I do have a gut feeling that Sony was going to have a some type of DRM as well.

[SpideySpeakz]

No, it's not stupid. It's pathetic, and his viewers are jumping on the bandwagon. It's sad and pathetic. Can't wait for the actual release so will can see for ourselves, then I'll wonder if Rich has anything more to say.

[RobAlmighty]

Has anyone else noticed that Yoshi's background is Tokyo Jungle! PLease let there be a next gen TJ =D

[Iltapalanyymi]

LOL just LOL. Yoshida is the boss!!!

[Vitalogy]

I'm not much of conspiracy theories but one thing makes sense to me, the DRM thing. Honestly I though of that the second I read the article on the blog about the 1.50 day 1 patch, that would be a good way to "hide" the real reason of that patch but I guess that we'll never know for sure unless some inside reliable source decides to spill the beans.

I never got illuded about the "we're all the gamer" thing because I have my feet on earth and I know they're in the business to make money [period] the only thing I ask is to them come clean.

[unknownbystander]

Wow,i can't believe people are actually dissing Rich. He even mentions in the video that he hopes that what his sources told him was inaccurate. Yet people think that what he said was what he believed when clearly he stated that he hopes that they weren't true.

I would like to see factual evidence to prove Rich wrong because clearly Yoshida hasn't even said anything intellectual just "so stupid". I'm so close to canceling my PS4 pure order because of this.

[isarai]

This guy has been so damn wrong on so many occasions it's not even funny. If this were true i'm pretty damn sure sony would've said so instead of completely lying as this guy is claiming. misleading is one thing but if this were true then it's a a straight up lie completely and clearly opposite of what they've been claiming since their reveal. They would not due that simply because it would cause far too many legal issues and law suits against them

[unknownbystander]

I wouldn't believe this either, but saying "so stupid" isn't so convincing that these claims are false or true. None of us really know what is happening under the curtains to prove this wrong.

[danny818]

Im subbed to this dude on youtube. He sounds so pesimistic. He had a vid saying how the consoles are gonna be very dated because of launch games barely hitting 900p. If my ps4 is in good condition and i play online fine ima falg his channel for spreading false info reguarding the launch consoles. Thats not cool. He has good credibility

[isarai]

LOL no he doesn't, he never did. this dude claimed PS3 and PS2 ran on binary code only because they could not use modern programming due to their complex architecture. which is complete and utter BS

[PainKillerz]

I find this funny and more funny and then wonder can it be true ? Only Sony knows the truth,but will they admit if the rumor is true uhhhh i think not.

[isarai]

you can find out yourself by simply trying a used game before connecting online. or any game for that matter, if it truly had DRM then it would need online authentication to find out, and if it couldn't get that then you wouldn't bee able to play it new or used

[ipach]

pretty sure everything sony has said has suggested you don't even need to connect at all to start playing games. your test would definitely be solid proof.

[isarai]

Can't believe people are believing this guy so much, this guy's claims are always horribly uninformed and just straight up wrong. This guy claimed PS2 and PS3 could only take binary code and modern programming did not work on it :/

[sigfredod]

Seriously a diet based on mountain dew and doritos is not good for your brain, lol

[Lboogieskells]

Reporting rumors that can damage a companies reputation. This is why Major comps don't repect Youtube personalities.
This video was very unprofessional and I have lost all respect for this guy.

[ipach]

this is about as good as a plug rich could ever have hoped for. i've actually watched a bunch of his videos before. congrats to him on all the new traffic!

[Skynetone]

I find it hard to believe that the 2 biggest game networks will be practically unplayable at launch, sure there might be a dropped connection here and there but its nothing that wont get sorted in a month are two, the reason why sony would have drm on its console is because its up to the developers if they want to use it, sony gives them options, there's no way your console would have become a brick after 24hrs

[JuniorCE]

LoL Shu is the man!!

[Creeper5150]

Damn! lol I'm sorry, Rich.(Review Tech USA) But I'd say you jumped the gun on this one, bud. Time to take the heat, bro.

[Mr-Dude]

My reliable sources, let's call them ""elves"", tell me that this video is just to far fetced. Major sites reported that the Ps4 can produce 1080p native... and all was going well with the online structure etc on both companies. But hey they could be wrong. But if I told you my sources you would say "Dude, no way!"

*end sarcasme*

[wages of sin]

I'm not a Sony fan at all, but I'm glad this clown got called out for his lies and misinformation.

[DialgaMarine]

That dude is an annoying little hipster douche. When he sees the PS4 doing well, he completely goes out of his way to make it look bad by spreading BS with no facts to actually back it up.

[iRobotGaming]

Rich Dropped the Bomb and Blew up his Channel, lol lmao. That must hurt for the President of Sony to call you Stupid, lol lmao

[MillyMike]

ReviewTechUSA = Gossip Queen

What a joke.

Watch my reply:

[SonyNGP]

No.

[Pintheshadows]

The other day I was speaking about how so many so called 'journalists' on Youtube were undeserving of their positions.

I hope this guy never receives free games as he simply doesn't deserve them. He has no knowledge of how things actually work and he clearly can't read. Online affecting resolution. Now I have heard everything.

It amazes me. He has as much right to talk about this stuff as I do to help someone fix their car's engine. I just have the decency to not do it as I have no clue about it.

[oODEADPOOLOo]

I dont get the deal with networking affecting resolution but the DRM thing seems plausible. While he rides the rumor train pretty hard alot of times, I still like his channel for the Sex-E coco vids, now thats funny shit.

I'll link of of those vids here:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[cell989]

the lack of basic knowledge on this specimen is mind boggling.

The only time network issues can affect a games resolution is if youre playing the game from a cloud service (onlive, Gaikai) same as when you use netflix with a poor connection, the video quality takes a hit. When youre playing a game directly from hardware, resolution has nothing to do with network issues, WTF people this is 2013 read some books once in a while, get informed, get to know the basics at least.

[Mister_G]

I'll be so glad when these machines are released and all this stupid speculation can stop.

[esemce]

Sony stated no DRm on PS4's 4 months ago so why would the consoles have DRM in the firmware at launch? It make no sense just like the COD resolution statement.

[01animeking]

when i first watched i was just thinking WTF has rich been smoking

[coolcristhian1]

Stop being a fanboy

[BABY-JEDI]

All this speculation of late, seems to have taken a KRAZY turn. Some little birdies told me this.

[TrevZ_514]

LOOOLLLLLL honestly the guys video was like watching a south park episode... everything he said was exagerrated and manipulated with no real source

[CriticalHit]

The guy who made that video is probably very happy with all the responses. Now his video gets more views which means more money for him.

[abc1233]

This is how you crush rumours before it affects your PR

[CNCOMICS]

Ufologists and conspiracy theorists offer better sources and evidence than this guy.

[Consoles4kidz]

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

lol sony a bunch 9f liars

[NewAgeisHere]

yo chill out dude...he was never pro anything, except maybe pro PC.....maybe he made a mistake or maybe some of what he says is true..............no need to bash him without knowing all the facts.

[Activemessiah]

This video made me remember that patent Sony filed for... still have no clue what that was.

[mkis007]

Sony also has a patent for a controller that changes shape via some sort of
Electro impulse...not even kidding.

[gk07]

hmmm

[MasterCornholio]

Is reviewstechUSA video a joke?

Nexus 7 2013

[bleedsoe9mm]

neither network is working because of the built os because drm

[ThaBlackBaron]

Sony fanboy Drones are the most ignorant fools on the planet! These Drones actually think there will be NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER with the launch of PS4? LOL

The fact that yoshida EVEN responded to a youtuber says alot in its self! That there is some truth to what he's saying

[EXVirtual]

I'd never thought I'd be talking to ThaBlackBaron himself, but I hope you realize 2 things:
1. The video was spewing BS about the XBO as well.
2. Shuhei Yoshida was asked about his opinion on the video. If he hadn't responded, people would've been saying that Rich was right even more so than they are now.
Of course there are going to be some issues at launch, but nothing as dramatic as Rich is spewing. Hell, even he made a video as to why Watch Dogs got delayed. It was because of GTAV and Ubi's own games. Not networking issues. Also, COD Ghosts runs at 1080p native on the PS4. Adam Boyes confirmed that days ago.
RTU's video is clickbait and what really exposes that is the 'Please Share' thing at the end of the title. He just wants money. And he's getting it.

[Maxor]

This video is nearly as stupid as his claims of the Xbox One resolution scaler being just as good as Nvidia's G-Sync technology. What a completely idiotic statement.

[bunfighterii]

This is not news- this is a twitter feed. If I wanted to read Yoshida's twitter account without context, report or comment I would use twitter? Why do these get approved?

[zpoc]

wow... that dude actually thinks game resolution has anything to do with network bandwidth. how embarrassing. on the one hand, good on shuhei for calling him out, but on the other, why even draw attention to such a moron?

[PromKnight]

Ahhhhhahahahaha!, Shuhei Yoshida shitting in his pants right now, No where to run and hide now you lying little man.

Sony... BUSTED!

[chrisall76]

I, as a game developer, know that yes bad netcode can make Multiplayer lag. If the netcode is bad due to both companies changing from DRM then yes gamed focused on big multiplayer can lag.

[arbitor365]

ReviewtechUSA is a windbag, an imbecile, and an ebegger.

[coolcristhian1]

And you are a fanboy :P

[KontryBoy706]

All I gotta say is we will see on the 15th

[THEMIGHTYDOOVDE]

So Rich is talking shit huh? Then he'd fit in perfectly with Sony.

And PSN in shambles...... nothing new their then!

[CuddlyREDRUM]

Good video, I subscribed.

The video is far less stupid than launching a console without Bluray and DVD playback without an Internet connection.

[DOOMZ]

I thought everyone knew that...

[McScroggz]

I've tried to watch some of his videos in the past, but he is so blatantly biased that it's nauseating. Unless you're an Xbox fanboy, I wouldn't bother with him.

[fawzib]

I just registered on this website to say this: I watched almost all his videos from late 2012 till this day and he never speaks out without news. If it was his opinion he will state it, if it was reliable source he will state it as well.

Yet again, the sources might be incorrect or those reliable sources are just speculating as well.

[coolcristhian1]

BLIND FANBOYS EVERYWHERE, VERY DISAPPOINTING :'(

[Loghorn]

Anyone who seriously believes Rich is an idiot. He was most likely doing this just for more views & hits.

Sony had never intended to have DRM at all.

[clouds5]

DRM means money. They are a company. They want money. Of course they have at least considered it. And 100% has the shitstorm that happened after the XB1 announcement influenced Sonys strategy. It's only logical.

Sony is best known for proprietary software and DRM all over the place... Ever owned a sony camera? Or a PSP? Or a PS Vita? Be prepared to buy (EXPENSIVE) special memory cards and special discs and proprietary shit everything.

[Loghorn]

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Why? After the press conference in February. Shuhei Yoshida (President of Sony) said Sony will SUPPORT used games from the beginning.

Just look at this video UPLOADED 8 MONTHS AGO which proves it:

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

More proof:

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
http://www.vg247.com/2013/0...
http://www.nowgamer.com/new...

And those were WAY before E3 even happened.

Sony wouldn't risk putting the PS brand six feet under even further after what happened to them with the $600 price tag & the PS hacking scandals with PS3, & would certainly not lie to the masses at E3 & risk ruining their reputation about it; the biggest gaming event of the year.

Rich is doing this to get more views & hits for money. That's all it is.

[clouds5]

I'm not talking about used games I'm talking about DRM... And I wont buy either console so I don't give a shit ;)
But there is one thing I know, if a company can make more money in some way, they're gonna do it. Sony is NOT your friend (neither is Microsoft or Nintendo for that matter). They want your money - end of story. But bad publicity also means less money. So its a balancing act.

You know I'm just glad neither of them is doing the "no used games" thing. That would have sucked.

[drizzom]

Dat sensationalism yo...

[clouds5]

As a PC gamer that has a WiiU on the side, these are the best times. Just grab some popcorn and watch the release show. :D
These threads here and all over the web are better than the movies... So much drama.

[xKugo]

The guy honestly said with a straight face that COD was reduced to 720p because of bad online. The amount of stupid is unreal...it's not even laughable. Can't believe he let the words leave his mouth. So god damn stupid..

[assdan]

All of his claims from "little birds" are immediately invalid after the claim that the ps4's version was announced to be in 1080p.

[Games_R_Us]

Wow if any of this is true, Sony will come undone pretty quick!

[CuddlyREDRUM]

Yoshida reminds me of the South Park Michael Jackson episode where he molests children and says anybody who has a problem with it is "ignorant".

[stuntman_mike]

whats makes RTU's video worse is he has such a whiny voice to go with it.

also gotta love yoshida, with a couple of words he destroys someone lol. "So stupid". BOOOOM!

[ThombrockGaming]

here is my response to this.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[memots]

that thread went full retard.

[qzp]

ReviewTechUSA is a retard. shu knows this

[Godmars290]

Just wonder if the internet will manage to remember this in a few weeks. Remind the guy about his "predictions" or sources.

[stragomccloud]

Sony's execs really need to start being more professional.

[aaronobst]

Sooooo no one thinks there might be any truth to Rich's video?

[Alvidta]

Of course, it's alright for xbox one, but if it's sony that's a huge denial.

[Linkinnshadow]

Everyone knew that PS4 would have DRM on 3rd party games, that was the idea, some guy from Sony told earlier that Sony would not put DRM on their games but that didn't mean that 3rd party software developers would not use DRM on games.
The fact that this could somehow interfere with the resolution of the games it's unknown, I don't know how would that interfere, don't see any connection, but... we never know.

[rammstein91]

he was making nonsense and he deserved it,well said yoshida

[Alvidta]

Even if it's true they're not going to come out and admit it are they? it's damaging.
