Totalbiscuit visiting SOE to try and get PS2 info!

[Robert089]

I know TB was a big fan of PS1 and with the following he has this can only mean good things for PS2!

Hopefully he can get some good information for us too.

[Lorgarn]

I had no idea he was a fan/player of PS, I'm actually excited for his future coverage of PS2. He has a lot of viewers/followers so it certainly would be a good thing.

And yes, if this little visit brings us something of value, even more props to him.

[Bags]

Yeah, he and higby tweeted a bit a while back, he's stoked to give PS2 some coverage.

[Stardouser]

Is this just for pre-release hype or he's going to do something long-term and after release?

[Death2All]

I don't care much for TB personally, but if he helps generate a larger playerbase then I don't mind him too much.


I remember some WoW Radio guild joined PS. It was a great massacre of many noobs.

Well, he loved PS1, so I imagine if PS2 is up to par he'll play the shit out of it and mention it and do stuff with it.

That guy shouldnt be even allowed to make videos about games.

[Senyu]

Man, saw this on his channel and was stoked to post it here thinking I would have done the community a good deed in providing information....sadly I was beaten


And why shouldn't TB make videos about games?

[Crazyduckling]

He has 700k subscribers, so let him share the PS2 greatness.

Good to see marketing is doing something now. Youtube approach is probably one of the strongest ways to promote the game.

Wat?

[Vancha]

If I had to guess, Coreldan is using what someone said in their teens to suggest that they're bad at their chosen profession nearly a decade later.

He had a fairly large outfit back in the first one, I wouldn't doubt we'd see them again. With them being back would surely be accompanied by him wanting to expand on that outfit so I'm sure we'll see videos from him about PS2 even way after launch.

Well, I guess any publicity is publicity, but the few videos I've seen from him which have been games I've actually played myself, I doubt he did much of a favour to the game by being so horrible at it that it by no means looked like a good game from him PoV.

However, that's not really necessary to do valuable community work and shoutcasting. The former requires dedication above all, which he seems to have plenty of because he turned his hobby into his job, and for the latter you need knowledge of game strategies and mechanics, excitability and a good voice above all, all of which he also does pretty well.

Despite having been bad at PS1, he got a whole lot more out of gaming than pretty much everyone here. He's traveling around the world to cover events, he's making money with his video's and shoutcasting, and everyone knows who he is. I guess that's a good reason to be jealous for some.

This pretty much summarises my problems The few I've seen failed to give a good image of the game when he spent most of the video looking at a death screen.

I guess if one is doing some first time hands on, that's to be expected, but I dunno, I just don't find it as a really good publicity for a game.

Each to their own. I can't get myself to watch his stuff, but it obviously suits some people probably for the other reasons you mentioned.

Someone with a large following interested in a game that benefits from massively from having as large a player base as possible?

Yes please.

I don't care what anyone thinks of the guy, but PS2 getting coverage is always a good thing.
