The Story of Playstation

I think I managed about 10mins before I gave up due to the quality of the sound editing. More often then not you cannot hear what is being said as the awful music is drowning it out. I hope whoever did the audio editing and then whoever signed off on the release of this documentary were fired for this monstrosity of a show. I am pretty confident I could have done a better job on the editing and I know absolutely nothing about video and audio editing.

In short, don't waste your time watching this. If you are that interested in the history of the PlayStation you would be far better off and go Google it.

While the information in this isn't exclusive or new, the documentary is a great history of the PlayStation and Sony. This is all absolutely ruined by the sound design. Who even edited this?

You'll get someone talking and then suddenly there's a horrible voice effect over them and you can barely hear it. The background music isn't background music at all, it's more like someone has found their favourite 80s soft-core and put that in infront of interviewee's voice. At some parts, you cant hear the person speaking at all and the subtitles don't even pick up what theyre saying either, despite you seeing the person talking.

So basically, you get 5 points for the clips and information but lose out of 5 points because I couldn't even hear most of it...

When I saw this suggested to me on Amazon Prime, I immediately dived in, eager to see what it had to offer. As an avid gamer since the '80s, the premise seemed right up my alley. However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment due to the abysmal sound quality. The background music was so overpowering that it completely drowned out the dialogue. It was frustrating to the point where even the subtitles couldn't capture what was being said. How this glaring issue was overlooked and the show released in such a state is beyond me. This major mistake significantly impacted my viewing experience, making it difficult to enjoy the content.

Quite interesting content, and I wanted to enjoy it, but completely unwatchable die to the sound. Sometimes the background music drowned out the people talking. Awful.

I don't know why the sound was so bad. Watching view a Bose soundbar with rear speakers, but had to turn the rear speakers down otherwise there was an awful echo on the narrator's voice. Also, the actual quality of the sound is tinny and distorted.

I managed to watch about twenty minutes before it became too irritating. Even changed tge sound settings but it didn't get any better.

Very disappointing in what could have been a good documentary.

Avoid at all costs. Just don't even bother.

This isn't a "documentary". It may contain some information, but seriously just go on Wikipedia and read for it.

It's a mess of AI-generated voices, weird and pointless visual effects that contribute nothing to the telling.

Newsflash, algorithms can't make movies. Not watchable ones, anyway.

Perhaps it is supposed to cater to the Null-Attention-Span generation? Well guess what, they'd never watch a movie anyway. Unless it's good...

A good movie will catch people's attention, even if it's a documentary. But it needs to be an actual movie, and it needs to be actually good. This is neither. Calling it a disgrace feels almost laudatory.
