![]() The Sony and Nintendo partnership that almost happened is discussed and it is utterly fascinating to imagine how different the industry would look today if these two companies had decided to team up. ![]() Even someone like me that enjoys this type of content was starting to lose interest after a while.Įventually we get into the development and launch of the Playstation One and I must admit, I did feel a great deal of childhood nostalgia watching some of the footage from the time. I appreciate that this is included to set the scene for the Playstation to emerge onto the scene, but a lot of the deep cut references and technical talk that may go over the heads of a lot of viewers. We then go back to the 1980’s and quite a lot of time is spent discussing the infamous Nintendo versus Sega saga that took place at the time. The movie opens with a spectacularly stunning animated intro sequence paired with an awesome instrumental song that I really enjoyed. However, it is not a perfect documentary by any means and is fairly long-in-the-tooth in several aspects and it is also very, ‘inside baseball,’ in so far as it isn’t the most inclusive to viewers that don’t already have a grasp of the gaming industry and how companies like Sony work. It does this fairly well in the sense that it even gave someone like me, – a 3D animator and a lifelong playstation fan, – deeper insight into details that even I never knew before.Īs someone that would like to work in the gaming industry one day, it was also interesting to see how the industry has expanded and evolved since the 90’s. The film tells the story of how Sony’s console became the behemoth of pop culture that we know as it as today. Starring: Hideo Kojima, David Jaffe & Mark CernyĪlthough this is the third in the series of Bedrooms to Billions documentaries, it my first time viewing one of their movies and I enjoyed getting to review The Playstation Revolution. ![]() Written by: Anthony Caulfield & Nicola Caulfield Produced by: Anthony Caulfield & Nicola Caulfield Directed by: Anthony Caulfield & Nicola Caulfield ![]()
