DualShock 3 Unboxing's [PATREON EXCLUSIVE]

Video Link: https://youtu.be/EM0R3pnSWIk

   What up Patrons, I recently picked up two OEM DualShock 3's and much like the PS3 unboxing, I figured why not film a quick video on these! These were a personal purchase I've been eyeing for awhile as I needed new controllers for that PS3 I bought. Between these two, and the cosmic blue one I bought awhile ago - I'll be set for years to come.

Upcoming Videos Planned + Merch

  Hey everyone, it's ya boy. Just throwing down an update on some channel stuff. Pictured above is me downloaded all the patches needed for our upcoming revisit of PS3 games online. This is easily becoming one of my favorite series that I can only really do once a year. And who knows just how many years I'll get to do it. But this time around we're checking MORE games (NFS: Most Wanted is a new addition) and I'm also reaching out to these tight knit communities to hopefully have som...

Upcoming PS5 Coverage + Tier Changes

  Hey everyone, just wanted to do a quick write up to keep you all informed on what's happening. The first week of PS5 has been extremely busy! I don't think I've ever done 5 (6?) videos in a single week, much less ones that required this much editing. But I'm quite pleased to have gotten a lot of broad topics out covering the console so quickly.

  And there's still more to come! We'll be looking at PS Now on PS5, PSVR support, a new trophy video, a review of some ch...

Modified 60GB PS3 Unboxing [PATREON EXCLUSIVE]

  Hi Patrons! Right before I filmed Sunday's video on the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset for PS5, I unboxed this beauty as a little extra Patreon bonus video! This was more of a personal/work related purchase that wasn't going to be any specific video for the channel but I figured why not film a little something for here. So check it out! 

  My launch PS3 has a bad GPU (and that's the one thing I can't repair myself) so I went ahead and picked up this beauty, that wa...

We're Going 4K 60FPS HDR PS5 OMGWTFBBQ Everyone

  Hey Patrons, a channel update that many of you may have noticed is that the videos are slowly moving over to 4K, 60FPS (where applicable). The graphics evolution video pretty much needed that, but LTPS also had 4K, 60 where possible. And I've updated all the news story graphics as well. Those were VERY old and low res. (I'm also dreading the fact that from here on out, I cannot reuse story images I already made. That's 8 years of assets gone). 

  But really, w...

PS5 Teardown Confirms A Previous Leak. | PS5 Expected To Outsell PS4's First Year. - [LTPS #434]

What a massive week of PS5 news! We finally got that PS5 teardown to see just what makes the console tick, and we got some impressions from the media and press in Japan. And amongst all of the official info, we still managed to have a UI leak over the weekend. Except now, that teardown makes it a lot more credible. Also, it seems Sony is very confident in PS5 sales. I'd hope their supply chain feels the same way on that. Anyway, there's tons of news for PS5 games, a new third party SSD, and P...

[EARLY ACCESS] Looking Back At All PS4 Launch Games: Will PS5 Stack Up?

  Hi Patrons, since Sony decided to drop the trophy changes and PS5 teardown today, a video covering that news took priority over the planned Wednesday upload I had. But it was prepared and ready to go, so for now - here's early access to that video! This topic goes over the entire PS4 launch lineup, and comparing it to the confirmed games we have so far for PS5. Hope you all enjoy! 

  Also just a note: I'm behind on updating Patreon outro credits to reflect the...

Second Wave of PS5 Pre-Orders Very Limited. | Microsoft Considering More Acquisitions. - [LTPS #432]

Just when we thought things were going to settle down this week, Microsoft announces a massive acquisition of Bethesda Softworks, sending a shockwave through the video game industry. To top it off we did get our promised second wave of new PS5 pre-orders, but depending on where you live and where you order from, you may be stuck ordering a disc console. It might not even arrive on launch day! Aside from that, we have disappointing news about the PS5 Spider-Man remaster, along with some patent...

Sony Messed Up PS5 Pre-Orders. PS5 Production Issues? | PS5 Exclusive Games on PS4. - [LTPS #431]

The week we've all been waiting for! PS5's price, release date, launch games, pre-orders! Sure, there's a lot of excitement to go around for Sony's next console, but there's been some misfires on what was such an important moment for the console. Everyone is now on a mad dash trying to secure a console as pre-orders went up early. And SIE President and CEO Jim Ryan has been doing a lot of PR for the platform. The dust has settled from the PS5 showcase, and here we are: Broom and dust pan read...

Xbox Series S and X Pricing Revealed, What About PS5? | PS5 Remote and Game Upgrades. - [LTPS #430]

It looks like Sony's plans for a PlayStation VR focused week didn't sit very well with most people. Especially so, considering this week we saw Microsoft just pull the curtain off everything. We finally have one major piece of the puzzle, Xbox Series S is real - and it costs $299! Xbox Series X will cost $499! We (ironically) go over Microsofts major news, and how this will effect PS5 moving forward. We also have some other PS5 stories sprinkled in for good measure. Did you know you can techn...

Devs on PS5's SSD and 3D Audio. | More PS5 Game Updates, Features, and Rumors. - [LTPS #429]

Early September is here and we've got a lot of news stories to go over for PS5, and that's despite us still waiting for Sony to unveil the major info we've been waiting for! But right now, we've got a Ratchet & Clank update, GT7's Art, Rumors for Final Fantasy XVI, Silent Hill, a DualSense development tool, SSD and 3D audio talk.. it's just a handful of things. Listing them off here would sound redundant. So let me just sign you off with this - there's a lot of PlayStation news going on i...

Let's Do Some Q&A's, Because Why Not?

  It's been YEARS since I last did a Patreon Q&A, so I think it's about time we do another one of these. If you've got any questions, let me know! Whether it's about the games industry, personal interests, other hobbies, or whatever! You can write them down below, or email them to 'MysticRyan@Gmail.com' and I'll answer them all in a video I'll upload for here! 

  We'll shoot for around sometime next week where I'll actually record the video so you've got ple...

Sony's PS5 Pre-Orders Will Be Invite Only (For Now). | Price and Release Date Rumor. - [LTPS #428]

Well, turns out we really did go through almost all of August with no release date or price for PlayStation 5. And yet, Sony is (slowly) opening up the gates to pre-order the console. Today we've got PS4 Firmware, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, some PS4 to PS5 upgrades, and some rumors regarding the consoles price and release. Unsurprisingly, we're gonna see these pop up left and right until Sony sets the record straight. For now? We talk. On Friday. Every Friday. And maybe one day, we will...

This Is Why I Bought 100 Copies of Hannah Montana for PS2

  Here it is everyone, your Patreon exclusive! An unreleased, absolutely terrible video idea I had last year. The first five minutes is the actual video/footage I had, and the remainder of the video is a post-mortem discussion, talking about why the video failed, what I was thinking going into it, etc. 

  It's really not often I work on something that doesn't get released, but this would be one of the very few examples. I hope you all enjoy! I myself am cringing...

Sony: PS5 Launch Lineup The Best in PS History. | New PS5 Ad & DualSense Features. - [LTPS #427]

Not the most eventful though it is one with official PS5 news (which is always better than rumors) and this time around we have our first look at a PS5 ad that will air globally. Sony discusses the consoles launch, challenges, and games lineup. And we even got a bunch of new examples for the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. There's also the possibility that Demon's Souls might be a launch title! Alongside all that, we have a pretty honest quote from Phil Spencer to go over, ...

Cuphead Platinum Run [Extended Rough Cut] with Swearing Bonus Round

  Hi Patrons! Here is an exclusive (ridiculously long) rough cut of what I hope to be tomorrow's video. I'm still editing it right now but before I chop it up dramatically and 'clean' it up with proper transitions/titles/jokes - here is this monstrosity of footage where you get to see a lot more of my attempts and gameplay. 

  Some portions of this are indeed rough, with audio missing or direct cuts out of context, etc. But I'm aiming to cut this down by a vast ...

Rumor: PS5 Struggling With 4K? Will Be More Expensive? | Xbox Series X Loses Big Game. - [LTPS #426]

This week started off slow as we're in this weird mid-point of August waiting for official announcements from Sony and Microsoft. We've got DualShock 4 colors, a PSN issue getting fixed, The Last of Us Part II Grounded Update, Horizon Zero Dawn PC issues,... but in the background of all that there's been rumors and conversations about PS5 apparently having some trouble in the resolution and framerate department. Possible even a surprising price tag? We go over that rumor mill, while also disc...

Yeah, It Was A Terrible Idea

  Per one of my previous posts here, I discussed a failed video idea that I will be uploading here. This tweet reveals the topic of that very bad idea. For some reason it seemed like a brilliant idea to buy a boat load of Hannah Montana. I'll save the rest for when I actually upload it. Only reason why I haven't done it yet is I'd like to film a sort of post-mortem discussion about the video. There's only about five minutes of actual footage anyway from the original idea.

PS5 Major Third Party Exclusives Rumor. | PS5 Event This Month Says Source At Sony. - [LTPS #425]

Lots of PlayStation 5 news to go over today as we ramp up to our next official announcement for the console which very likely could be the UI, teardown, price, release date, and pre-order. But for now, we have new details on PS5 accessories, Sony's 2020 Q1 financials, yesterdays State of Play, and rumors regarding major third party exclusives. Yeah, the Spider-Man thing in Marvel's Avengers might just be the tip of the iceberg for Sony's continued exclusives. With a source from within Sony su...

The Next Trophy Video is My Cuphead Platinum Run

  320 GB's. That's the amount of footage I have so far between gameplay, facecam, and audio for what is currently a video documenting my Platinum run for Cuphead. And.. I'm still not done!

  When Cuphead was announced for PS4 I knew right away: Hell yes I'm so going for the Platinum. But something told me that maybe I should film it since it will be what can only be described as a roller coaster that constantly jerks you around so much you start to wonder if it was e...

PS5 Rumors Getting Out of Hand. Spider-Man & GT7 Rumors. New Sony Patent for PS5? - [LTPS #424]

This week is a bit on the longer side but we also have some lengthier conversations to go overly, namely this recent patent that Sony filed which shows a DLSS-like feature which could be for future PS5 software. Then we have a few rumors regarding PS5 games like Gran Turismo 7 and Spider-Man Miles Morales, but perhaps the worst offenders here is just everyone claiming to have PS5 info when in actuality almost no one does. Also PS5 trended a lot on Twitter. Yeah, they're very popular. 19+ mill...

PS5 Ubisoft Games Are $60. PS4 Firmware 8.0 Beta Features. Xbox Show Underwhelming? - [LTPS #423]

Another busy week in the world of PlayStation (and more so Xbox!) so you know we gotta break it all down. We've got DualSense coverage, PS5 pre-order talk, fake PS5 kiosks, PS5 Ubisoft game prices, Spider-Man PS5 performance modes, but more importantly.. FIRMWARE. PS4 Firmware that is, in what might be the last major update we realistically get. We also have a lengthy conversation about Microsofts recent showcase. There's some real gold in this episode, I guarantee it. Literally and figurativ...

PS5 Production Doubled For Launch Supply. PS5 Amazon Listings & Price Confusion. - [LTPS #422]

This week has been relatively quiet as we eagerly await the PS4's last major exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima. But then we heard that Sony is apparently doubling PS5 manufacturing in order to meet holiday demand! That certainly is encouraging, and based off of how many people are so eager to pre-order, we've gotta talk about all these new Amazon listings and people believing the price/release date rumor. Also, we're getting some hands-on DualSense coverage today from Geoff Keighley! Thanks Geoff!...

My Backlog Will Consume Me Before PS5

[Pictured Above: Melissa being such a cat on her condo. She loves the high life.]

  Hey everyone!

  Just throwing out another update to keep you all informed on what's going on. I want to say thanks to all the new and existing Patrons. I really appreciate the continued support despite the slow updates here. But thankfully I have a spicy new Patreon exclusive coming that will KNOCK. YOUR. SOCKS. OFF.

  Not really, but it is an exclusive unrelease...

PS5 Game Cases Revealed. PS5 Controller Leak? Sony Patent for PS1/2/3 Cloud Gaming. - [LTPS #421]

This week we've got a lot of business news relating to Leyou Technologies, Warner Bros. Interactive, and Epic Games. All of which, while important, isn't nearly as exciting as PS5 cases and box art. Which we finally know what they look like! We also have an alleged image of the DualSense out in the wild, some more PS4 to PS5 upgrades, some Microsoft stuff, and a cheeky patent that references cloud support for PS1/PS2/PS3 playback. Spoiler alert: I'm once again the bearer of reality on backwar...

PS5 Games Will Cost More? Sony Seeking $1.23 Billion Acquisition of FIVE Developers. - [LTPS #420]

Strap in because we have another full week of PlayStation news to go over! PS Plus is 10 years old, Iron Man VR is here, Naughty Dog gets defensive, Xbox Lockhart rumors are everywhere, PS5 price rumors, next-gen game prices, a crazy Sony acquisition, and EVEN backwards compatibility. (Coincidental timing huh?) Yeah, a lot to go over. Sorry this episode was long! (And late). BUT, it's here with all the PlayStation news you would ever need. There's something here for everyone, but mostly, it's...

Leaked PS5 Image on Production Line. The Last of Us Part II Review Bombs and Backlash. - [LTPS #419]

Well, our first week with The Last of Us Part II has certainly been interesting! In fact, it's been rather slow on the PS5 front, though we did get an allegedly leaked photo of the console in hand, at the production facility. Aside from that, today we tackle how people are feeling about TLOU Part II, its sales, and misleading build up. We also have some great comments to reflect on from Head of Xbox Phil Spencer, and former SIE Chairman of Worldwide Studios Shawn Layden. Less news stories, bu...

PS5 Price Rumors, PS4 to PS5 Upgrades, Game Details, Timed Exclusives, Customizable? - [LTPS #418]

It's been over a week since the PS5 Reveal Event and we've got a lot of catching up to do. We learned a ton of new details (and were clarified) on these upcoming PS5 games like Spider-Man Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Horizon Forbidden West. For PlayStation 5 itself, Sony has been doing a lot of talking about their ambitions with the platform, alongside some rumors regarding price. We also have further confirmation of Sony catering to free upgrades, but not really calling...

PS5 Extra Details, Free Game on Launch Day. | The Last of Us Part II Review Scores. - [LTPS #417]

What a huge weight off our shoulders, after months of waiting, we finally had our PS5 reveal this week. Tons of game announcements, and a thorough look at the consoles design! And yet... can we lay it down sideways? The answer is yes. Also, you'll get Astro's Playroom for free on day 1! Sony knows how much you loved the Playroom. Today we cover some small stories, interesting patents, that PS5 UI tease, and some minor details on the games we saw. Also, we have review scores for The Last of Us...
