This guy predicted the PS5 way back in 2019. Pretty sure he has inside sources.

 

[HTK]

Reading some of those blurbs and the way he talks gives me a headache. I'm assuming it's transcribed from the video, Jesus.

[OrionNebula]

Since Playstation categorically refuses to say anything and give any news themselves, as usual, all we have is the rumor mill…..

 

[FingerBang]

Jokes aside, has this dude ever gotten anything right?

I remember him from the good old 360/PS3 days and he was basically always wrong.

 

[Killer8]

Hip hop is all about rhyming so it makes sense he's repeating the same rumors again.

 

[Faithless83]

Does he have a decent track record?
It's all nice and all, too nice even, but to me he sounds like an overhyped fan and not much else.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

I just want PS1, PS2, and PS3 games ALL to be playable on my PS5, and not through fucking streaming.

This is why they pay Ryan the big daddy bucks, and not you. Making PS1-3 games exclusive to PS Now is the only way I would subscribe. I wouldnt mind having some shitty PS2 games on my digital platinum trophy wall.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Cant believe this guy is still at it

another thing
that's supposed to happen is new system settings specifically for ps now that
deals with accessibility graphical options and save states so i'll break
down what that means so when it comes to accessibility options um a lot of uh
machine learning um neural neural networks is being used on playstation's
platform so when it comes to accessibility right you have a lot of people a lot of these access accessibility options they wasn't available in older games you understand what i'm saying so
they're actually trying to utilize certain features and functions to be
able to work with all the games that didn't have them as well as they using
them for games that's right now going forward so i thought that was really
cool to not just have like you know backwards compatibility or
preserving your catalog but also having some sort of some sort of current gameplay implementations to go with the old school uh titles you know i'm saying?

Sir, I do not know what you are saying.

 

[TheGodfather07]

i would love for all of that to be true.... but he's full of shit. would love to be proven wrong though.

 

[Derktron]

This gave me a good chuckle I needed that

 

[Derktron]

Sir, I do not know what you are saying.

As a student studying Mass Communications damn that actually hurt me to read that. I had to reread it again like 2 times.

 

[mckmas8808]

How are people feeling about HHG once more doubling-down on his previous statements regarding BC, PSNow Revamp etc as discussed here?

P.S. Dark Cloud is indeed listed as a PS4 game on PS5 PStore. I literally just checked.


PS1 (later PS2) games on PS5

Backwards Compatability, Graphics Settings ("Remaster Engine" I believe HHG has coined this in the past)

Save States

PSVR2 on PC / AR

GamePass Competitor, Netflix Deal

"Lost Soul Aside" game

Metal Gear Returning

RockStar <3 Sony

This is ALL INSANE! I wish at least half of it were true though.

 

[93xfan]

HHG isn't someone I follow but there's really no reason Sony can't allow us to play our original PS1 and PS2 games on PS5.

Yes there is. Laziness.

 

[ksdixon]

Yes there is. Laziness.

Also stupidity.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

More like Hip Hop lamer. Can't believe people still listen to this guy.

 

[Duchess]

I can only see PS1 games that already run on PS4/PS5 coming to PS Now. Emulation is hard to get right. Even MS, with their beefier BC approach, only certifies games on a case-by-case basis.

So, FF7, FF8, and FF9 could come to PS Now and be downloadable on PS5 (due to already running on PS4), as well as some others, but I don't see anything else happening.

 

[JoeBudden]

I wish Hip Hop Gamer wasn't such a clout chasing clown. Dude fumbled an amazing lane of mixing hip hop and gaming. And honestly, gaming media needs more representation and perspectives from people that aren't pale unhealthy socially awkward nerds with no personality.

 

[SJRB]

Is it "Hip Hop Gamer" because it's word diarrhea without any interpunction?

 

[Bo_Hazem]

The guy isn't a solid source so let's not give him too much credit.

 

[anothertech]

I wish there was a platform that gives me a summary of YouTube videos without me contributing to the algo or the ad revenue.

What did he say about the Netflix deal?

Personally still think it was just a couple of placeholder materials.

It's called Brave browser

 

[reksveks]

It's called Brave browser

True, I would still have to waste time on watching it.

 

[Urban]

Did this guy ever predicted something right or is he just reading Gaf/Reddit and 4chan and gives us the summary ?

 

[Perrott]

Did this guy ever predicted something right or is he just reading Gaf/Reddit and 4chan and gives us the summary ?

The latter.

Although by doing so, he's regurgitating some accurate informations as well, like the Metal Gear stuff for instance, which is an already well known rumor that is actually happening. Sony's also looking at bringing some sort of PS1, PS2 & PS3 BC through PS Now, although I'm afraid that their solution would be streaming-based rather than native PS4/PS5 apps.

 

[ksdixon]

 

[reksveks]

So how wrong or right was he?

 

[Papacheeks]

So how wrong or right was he?

He was right about mostly PS2-PS1 stuff. and with the revamp of PS NOW.

 

[Faithless83]

Looks like his sources are legit.
Metal Gear, huh?

 

[mortal]

Wow, Hip Hop Gamer being vindicated? I suppose anything's possible.

I assume this is right. We can add to the list he also has been right with PS1 emulation and the PS Now revamp. Lots of crows being served in this thread.

Let's hope now he was also right about PSVR2 being compatible with PC, I think that would be cool and for Sony I also think would help increase PSVR2 sales.

P.S.: I like the Hip Hop Gamer guy, he seems a nice, fun and passionate folk.

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Who even follows this guy...he has been on YT forever with 30k subs.

How many do you have (real, not bought)?

 

[mckmas8808]

Real-HipHopGamer

Maybe he was right.......

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

How many do you have (real, not bought)?

Im not a YTer, I dont even have 5K but thast not my point. Im not comparing myself to him, im comparing him to industry standard channels. Like who gives a shit about an opinion of a guy that wont even get a better quality cam, like he is filming in a closet. Again, no problem, hope he gets big one day but what im saying is...he is a nobody, why do people care about his opinion, and how does he have these "inside" news but big channels dont yet? Its literally as if I made a video on this and my friend posts it here...guys check what this guy has to say lol.

A DSP troll channel has more subs and integrity.

 

[I'm nobody]

Why are his topics not banned and the person posting em

 

[jroc74]

Won't lie, this is the first thing I thought of when the news about upscaling the old games came out for the new Plus service.

I think it's is safe to say he heard some legit things.

 

[ManaByte]

Why are his topics not banned and the person posting em

Because this isn't the other place?

 

[TheGodfather07]

He got more shit right than jeff grubb has over the last year.

 

[jm89]

Problem is he gets so much things wrong and overhypes things that you can't trust a thing he says, he did this a lot during ps3-360 gen and ended up being the boy who cried wolf.

 

[Represent.]

Salute to the OG Real-HipHopGamer being vindicated

 

[Chronicle]

Hip hop gamer was always awesome. Only the lammo party poppers felt otherwise.

I remember sitting near him at the 2014 E3 Xbox conference and seeing him going nuts for the reveals. Dude is genuine.

What is a lammo party popper? Is that one of those things with the confetti that pops out when you pull the string?

Sorry my bad. Must've spell checked. I meant to say 'pooper'

That's not a string...

What's a lammo?

 

[ShaquilleOatmeal]

I love HipHopGamer. He's the embodiment of the positivity and enthusiasm we need a bit more of in the industry, at least among core gamers like us.

But I don't know about his sources. lol
