Fun documentary ruined by awful sound design

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...

Nothing to gain from watching this.

This documentary offers nothing you most likely already didn't know about the history of the Playstation.It's presented through a couple of no-bodies being interviewed and sharing their useless nostalgia stories and uncaptivating personal histories that come off more vein than anything else.They just talk about each launch of the new systems and mention a couple of leading games, while obviously not being allowed to talk about the games consumers where really obtaining the consoles to play.It's also got quite some misleading parts to it, in particular one of them claiming the PS1 had better graphics than the Nintendo 64... yeah, nah a umm, 32 bit system vs a 64 bit is not going to have better graphics. What they're failing to admit is the PS1 was easily chipped to run bootleg games, where as the Nintendo 64 wasn't able to be modified like that, and that's how the PS1 outsold Nintendo's 64 console. It wasn't from it being a better console or had vcd.Also, the sound editing during this entire thing is atrocious. At points you can't hear what someone's saying because music is drowning it out, and it's annoying as bleep that way the sound goes up and down and has no constant level. Very poor job on the audio all through out this pointless documentary from the pov of a couple of nobodies.

Sack the sound editor

Nice little story about the Playstations history which gets to the core subject surprisingly fast, without dragging it's heels. But it suffers 2 major flaws:1) this annoying modern documentary need to swap between nobody's offering 10, 15 seconds of dialogue one after the other. Just give us 1 presenter who we can associate with! 2) the sound editing. It is utterly dreadful, to the point where you can't even hear what the nobody's are saying. They no doubt feel this adds an edge to it, an interesting twist. It doesn't. It completely ruins what could have been a nice little documentary. 3 out of 10 is being generous.
