PS4 and the Next Next-Gen - SESSLER'S ...SOMETHING

[@ciscotaku]

I'm so glad you didn't disappeared after xplay. It has become a daily routine to check revision3 for new vids . Keep it up. Loving it!

[@ChaseTheVaughan]

Adam, I think you're in top form here on Rev3. Internet video seems like a format that has you working the way I've always wanted to see you work, and I really couldn't be happier with the result. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, and I hope one day you guys get to do a Rev3 national tour one day. Rock, rock on!

[@amirtuna]

Since Sessler got to Rev3, I really started to get interested in your content and I like it! It's definitely something different! Would appreciate a weekly podcast with you.

[@Buraikun1]

Didn't realize how much I missed ya until I saw you here. Great to see you in action on rev Adam.

[@fefniromega]

Such amazing content that provokes great thought, this is why I am a longtime fan of Sessler and his ...Something. Brilliant format that gets stronger every week, and the Slim Jim Jerky placements are epic!

[@MrBucketlist]

Sessler I remember first watching you and kate batelow back on tech tv when i was younger thinking how cool it was to finally watch a tv show about video games. Whatever happened to you and G4, its great to see you back.

[@Ajax-0137]

Thanks N4G for bringing me to this channel!!!

[@OuroborosChoked]

Again, I'm just blown away by your convincing, passionate oratory. If only we could all be like you... just saying things without backing them up... whining at others without any particular reason or purpose... Truly, you are a paragon of human virtue.

[@edwardfigueroa1977]

You have been missed sir, I'm glad found this channel.

[@Korudo]

I appreciate the fact Adam has actual perspective as a video game journalist. Thank you.

[@alsc1987]

Anybody watching this after 5 years as this generation of consoles is approaching its end?

[@Karmiangod]

I'm always talking about something; you're a good man Adam, I love this channel because of you!

[@ekimb73]

Love to see that it looks like your happy at rev3....also I only get some of your videos on my podcast catcher program anyway keep doing a good job!

[@welchwelchwelch]

Adam needs a podcast if he doesn't already have one. I could listen to him talk for hours.

[@-mhayes86]

"Back in my TechTV days". I loved that channel back when it was on.

[@adrian199151]

Somebody really has to get Adm Sessler, and Angry Joe together. They both have their own genuine, in detailed analysis of everything that is video games. It would really make for interesting conversation.

[@Jazzman4824]

I'm glad to see you back in work Sessler. I was an avid G4 and before that TechTV watcher, and after watching several videos with you I remember why I loved Xplay so much, you are ridiculous and very intelligent. Now that the PS4 has been revealed I'd like to know what one of the seasoned veterans of reporting the gaming industry feels Microsoft may have coming down the pike? without speculating too much of course.

[@OstracizedGamer]

I love the fact that Adam can finally say more and be more himself on Rev3 than G4. Really funny too. Hey Adam, do have any tips to give others who are thinking about entering Game Journalism?

[@lagdance]

grew up listening to this guy....like if you grew up listening to him and morgan :) good days...

[@TheRatedD]

LOL that entire beginning setup was awesome XD

[@piplup0123]

Adam I would love to hear your opinions on cinematic trailers that have really taken the front instead of gameplay trailers in tv advertisments

[@Dimes607]

oh shit, where has this guy been? i feel so much better to hear his voice again

[@offgr1d]

Loving this channel!

[@RamssesPharaoh]

Adam, props to you for this video and for this new phase of your career. Great job.

[@TylerNieman]

Wow, loving the recently improved sound setup.

[@SubtleKnife]

CAKE ARE FROM SACRAMENTO AND THEY ARE AWESOME

[@WolfyRLW]

Adam Sessler is that cool uncle that you always wanna hear his wisdom, advice and opinions .

[@SicBro]

Thank you. I always like to keep an open mind.

[@TheWolfDogMoon]

Yay! Sessler. Glad I found this. Subscribed!

[@Northwite]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Adam may not think it's such a big deal right now, but it sets a precedent that could make it a big deal in the future.

[@JacobTheProtector]

Agreed. Adam Sessler is the most interesting person to listen to when it comes to video games. Love hearing his thoughts on this stuff.

[@azimsalimibinlukman]

Love your view, you have depth and knowledge when talking about games. Awesome, keep it up!

[@getonmanuttz]

Well I will just say this, you never bite the hand that feeds you.

[@megaded1975]

Adam i just want to say i think you are the very best at what you do. You always tell it like it is and that is very respectable in this business.

[@scattershotshow]

You collect resources in the game to purchase things at the store. You can also buy these resources with microtransactions. It's not a stretch to think that EA would limit how much of the resource you find in the game, as to encourage you to purchase more with real money.

[@RedMilkproductions]

5:55 Best Alex Jones impression ever! Gotta love Sessler.

[@Microfoot]

Bottom of the Hill... One of my favorite venues back when I lived in the Bay Area.

[@Noer477]

all i want is the old school ps2 and 1 intro whit the sound and everything

[@EzJester04]

Holy shit I found Sessler! Lost track when the G4 turd was flushed; glad you're still commenting on the industry. Agree or disagree, Sessler's always compelling to listen to.

[@scattershotshow]

One of the issues I have with the MTs in DS3 is that the design principles of the game may have been altered in favor of making people purchase resources; that items might require so much grinding that a user would be forced to buy resources to get the full experience the game has to offer. The game might be liberal with its resources, but with games like Battlefield Heroes in EAs history, they obviously don't have the best principles. They might have done it well, but we just don't know yet.

[@isntchrisl]

I was distracted by the well-placed Slim Jim bags in your room.

[@at0micRectum]

Will we ever be able to purchase a Sesslers... Something T-Shirt at the Revision3 merch shop?

[@SilentOneL]

To add to bluetornado88's list of exclusives(and only exclusives, excluding cross platform games), there is also Infamous, Infamous 2. Uncharted 2-3, God of War 3, Demons Souls, Twisted Metal, GT5, Yakuza 4...

[@assassincred56]

Nice product placement of Slim Jim in the backround...

[@cloudtx]

I agree with you. If it were some kind of free-to-play model for the game then microtransactions are fine, but putting them in a full 60$ game kinda makes you worry about the future.

[@MrIlikecheesealot]

I actually have to say that your point about people waiting and not buying the wii u to see what the ps4 and 720 will offer was an interesting point. Never really thought about that.

[@MrSec84]

Cont. 1)In terms of raw performance the GPU's apparently got 90% the power of the 7970m, which makes it around 9X the PS3 in raw flops, though there are efficiencies that are also gained with modern tech & a better feature set on effects the GPU can do. The RAM shifts about 8X the data around that PS3's ram did. The specs listed here are a very decent jump above PS3, probably quite reasonable for Sony to produce price wise too, along with Bluray, HDD & the other usual parts.

[@cbmetalgod88]

Hey Adam, is there light at the end of the tunnel for the Vita? I think it's an amazing piece of hardware, but a lot of people don't seem to see a bright future for it. What's your stance on the whole situation?

[@psolien]

Thank you,I believe most people didn't catch the spirit of my response and though I was dissin' consoles while I was actually trying to make a point of them not catering to their costumers needs.

[@SilentReaper321]

I don't have any spec inputs, but i think they need to make improvements on the game case. especially the center piece they could make it softer, easier to take out to reduce wear also (just got a pre-owned game and the center had a crack near the small hole) keeping the disc safe and secure. what do you guys think?

[@CJPlays13]

Agreed about DS3. Each Dead Space game had booster packs. It's only a big deal right now because people payed attention prior to release.

[@TwistinFool]

Since you mentioned it, please discuss your opinions on Origin.

[@LaowPing]

I love trophies. They add a feeling of accomplishment and add replay value.

[@wolfsol21]

Adam, what is your opinion on the Fire Emblem shipping delays and general confusion. (in the US)

[@jayrock1987]

Damn I feel old I remember watching Adam on tech TV when I was 13 and now Im going on 26 !!!

[@YaoMingsFriend]

I shed a tear when he said "TechTV".

[@DoNotPerceiveMePlz]

Better graphics are one of the first things people think of when comparing the two, of course, mods are as well but there is also digital distribution, mainly Steam but any service is what I mean. It makes it easier for a company to get their game out at a smaller cost, there is still server costs and whatnot but nothing compared to the cost of shipping out all the game units, this also benefits the indie devs who can't afford to print their product, let alone ship it and have stores stock it.

[@akodo77]

We kinda do AFAIK - I'm quite sure multiple podcasts from last week mentioned that crafting system do not break pacing and you can get everything you need, at the same time having to choose between stuff from time to time - which IMO is beneficial to experience as seen from core gamer's perspective. More casual players can maybe pay and get both ends of the bargain, but why would you want to remove the important part of choice from your experience is beyond me.

[@rinjimaru]

There is a god I thought you was gone forever lol you just got a subscriber for life

[@Md1986ok]

Nice intro story Adam! Keep it up.

[@915JOE]

im with you bro.....

[@SicBro]

i like the idea of two versions of the ps4 and 720. Only problem I see is in the higher end, as strong as PC, versions' abilities to compete with high end PC's because at that point, it would actually end up costing more for matched performance. Reason why is because putting strong parts in a small form factor cost more than having the same strong parts in a bigger form factor. In that case, logically, it would be better to get a PC.

[@Sentay0]

The difference is that Steam are the only people providing the exact version of the digital product they're selling thus they can control the sale (ie they can have awesome sales whenever) most consoles however are primarily reliant on physical games which are sold by retailers, thus they cant control the price as well, as they have to pay for materials, retailers, workers, shippers, and managers.

[@TastingKitty]

I just remember that I switched to PC a few years ago, and I went and played games that I played on 360 for PC. I was blown away by how good the games played and ran compared to their console counterpart. The only games I play on console anymore is MLB The Show (since I am an avid baseball fan) and whatever else I get due to friends buying games on consoles like Call of Duty (though MW3 was the only game I hated completely, all the others from CoD4 and up are good.) I can't wait for next gen :)

[@spike17spiegel]

PS4...I can't wait. Love your show Adam, keep it up!

[@BreadMaestro]

Since Antichamber and Skulls of the Shogun have finally been released, do you think Firefall will find a way to take over even more space at PAX?

[@ABrownDC]

Sessler I LOVE your input when it comes to the Gaming world! You say your opinion and don't go with the media like IGN. Even though its sad to see your show gone I'm happy to support you on Sessler Something and think that as a webcaster you give the best video gaming news to the table! Keep it up! You Have my views!

[@psolien]

Oh no doubt ,it's not an attack it's just indifference ! It's an example of many choices that make me feel like they don't respect their customer and that they only want to cash in another title ,and I don't intend to validate them with a purchase .

[@AGamingGuitarist]

QUESTION FOR ADAM: In this generation of gaming what are your biggest pet peeves? Ex: on disc DLC, tacked on multiplayer in order to stay "current", etc.

[@jongmagee]

You're not being forced, if they're GIVING you an option. Adam said a pretty good reply to that comment also.

[@Kingsulify]

i'm sure they will its rumored the price is $430 that is pretty affordable compared to the PS3 opening so either that's the price because of their financial problems or they'll have other more expensive but high geared versions

[@SicBro]

Thank you man. I'm gonna check this stuff out for my build im making this summer. Good thing for me is that I'll be able to cut about $120 off my build because I have windows 7 and a dvd drive. Once again, thanks alot man.

[@J32X1]

Hey Adam i have a question. Do think the next gen console that cost less is going to sale more.Because of happen what the PS3 when it come out what it 600 dollar price tag.

[@ArdentArden]

I miss being able to stare at some video of gameplay behind Adam until I get distracted by that visually while only listening to what Adam says.

[@PaiMeiHefeweizen]

Adam what do you think game companies should do to put the "Survival" aspect back into self-claimed Survival Horror games?

[@StormTimber]

there is still a long list of ps3/ 3rd party titles i still need to play, but over all, even after all the flaws and defects; i've enjoyed this generation and still being blown away with the graphics the ps3 produces.

[@JohnGoetzGaming]

Nintendo Revolution still hasn't been used and it's their coolest name imo (early name for Wii in case someone didn't know). Also SEGA never used Katana which was the codename for Dreamcast.

[@blackson7562]

crazy adam is back

[@TarSands403]

I'm no fan of EA, but being in my mid 20s now having finished school and working full time, I totally agree with Adam. I don't have time to play games like I used to, so if I can spend a few dollars to buy better weapons in a single player to speed it along, I am all for it. Gamers are a changing demographic people, we don't all have time to play like we did when we were younger.

[@mechworrier]

Howdy Adam, my question is how influential do you think micro-PCs / alternate form-factor PCs for the living room, will be during the next console cycle? Current examples being the Steambox and Xi3 Piston. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

[@LSSTmusic]

As a fan, I'm surprised that you didn't listen to what he actually said. He wasn't saying whether Cake was good or bad, he was just saying that they knew they were going to disappoint everyone who was there to see the Beastie Boys since, you know, they are pretty much completely unlike the Beastie Boys.

[@KuroKarma]

PS4 has been revealed(approximately) today. It would be interesting to see how things end up (by the years end).

[@Vyzrah]

Sessler! I missed you!

[@bottledspace]

Adam, what is your opinion on the Rayman: Legends delay, the controversy involved about the game already being done, and if Microsoft had any involvement with that exclusivity clause of theirs?

[@Brian_1991X]

Sessler IS BACK!

[@Bowmanganie]

From a business standpoint, microtransactions, as well as DLC are a great way to continue to provide a profit base, and not worry and fret and bemoan the used games market. Let Gamestop continue to sell your game, and continue to expose more consumers to what is probably more pure profit than what new game sales are.

[@MrRhysisGrant]

Games aren't getting less exciting, we're just getting older and more mature. Video Games were something we did a lot when we were kids and when everyone grows up their hobbies and priorities sometimes change.

[@krono5el]

Watch Dogs reinvigorated my juices for gaming so hard. im too excited for just that 1 game. i cant imagine whats to come

[@VundalI]

how do you feel about the Illumi-Room Microsoft unveiled ? Seems kinda silly to me. Also: I was totally expecting a Fire Emblem review from you !

[@TepidShark]

What games planned to come out on PS3/360 do you think will also get PS4/720 versions?

[@MrSec84]

Beyond3D has a list of the native resolutions, a number of titles on Xbox & PS3 have been rendered at 1280x720 & some less demanding graphical titles were in 1920x1080, check the list for yourself, 480p was passed at launch of 7th gen PS360. I get what you're saying about specs, but those aren't exactly expensive parts for a console maker, will reduce in price over the coming years & they would fit a pretty low TDP, all things any modern console manufacturer would want out of their next machine.

[@gwiser]

@Adam - What improvements should they add to the sly cooper series to get a 5 out of 5?

[@YorkJonhson]

There's a real nostalgia to the original X-Play days...

[@TheDarkDefender89]

Sorry, but no it didn't. The DLC consisted of costumes, a battle arena to fight some new bosses, a side-story with Sahz and Lightnings fight with Caius - I do think this one should definitely have been on the disc, but it didn't take place after the game or anything. It did have ''To Be Continued....'' at the end but they are doing so with XIII-3/Lightning Returns, it wasn't a reference to future DLC.

[@silentstatic]

I think (and have read) that these free to play game will be more prevalent. Dust 514 is what is really convincing me. It's still only in beta and needs a lot of work, but for being a beta it's fun as hell and the concept of being apart of a larger world is pretty cool. Micro transactions are annoying but with the expansion model they use as an alternative is smart and something that fits me as a consumer much better.

[@nateszigeti3653]

Out of all the friends I know with PS3's one of them got a yellow light and he left it on while he was on vacation for 4 days, also the thing didn't totally brick. Forgot what he did but the thing still works fine.

[@Icza]

I think the real problem was how a lot of hardcore gamers who got a Wii ended up not playing it as much or not at all after a while, and the WiiU is doing the same things that the Wii did, using the computing power of the previous gen's hi-end consoles and sticking with the motion control stuff which we all tried out and don't give a shit about anymore.

[@Krackerjax]

I remember when that was funny for about a week in 2007. That was a good week.

[@Dimplepig]

"could use some software" i'm gonna go ahead and call that the biggest understatement of the week

[@thegameneededme5]

In retrospect...turns out we were right to worry about microtransactions. Hindsight is 20/20, after all.
