  • I had chat with the incredibly talented Rob Pearson, one of the founders and presenters of ‪@PlayStationAccess‬ . We talked about his beginnings into the entertainment industry, his love of PlayStation, interviewing Hideo Kojima, and how a KitKat (maybe) helped kick off his career.

    I will never get tired of watching Access and i happily watch old videos all the time.

      I watch the old videos as well, when it was still Rob, Dave ,Nathan and of course Holly. Now it's the Rosey and Ash show, such a shame . I feel like I lost a best friend. I hope your doing well Bluewonk .

    Congratulations on living your dream. You've really earnt that "break" they gave you way back when.
    Your hard work and passion shines through in all your videos. Watching your lists on access helped me through a rough time and helped reignite my passion for gaming.
    Watching you play such a variety of games and it not always going according to plan gave me the confidence to expand into genres I'd always been to scared to try.
    I hope you know that for every troll or critic you have countless other fans that love and support you, along with everyone else at access ❤️

    Rob, one day you will be hosting a game show on TV. you were born for it. I look forward to the Christmas maze every year (and I am older than you).

  • @DoggedJoe
    @DoggedJoe Před rokem +22

    Genuinely inspiring to hear the full story!
    Particularly the bit about curating a positive community, this is a great example how the internet and modern technology can be used to bring people together and provide an accepting and uplifting place to explore a passion. In many ways it's the Top Gear model applied to gaming (friends sharing their passion while having a laugh and taking on challenges).
    Honestly, I'm so impressed by the Playstation Access channel. There are a lot of channels that do really similar things, like having a regular cast of presenters, doing list features, lets plays etc.
    But Playstation Access does all of it better, despite being tied to Playstation. Particularly the christmas features are so much fun to watch.

    If Rob was born 20 years earlier I believe he would've been a huge TV star. He'd be presenting The X-Factor or Masterchef or some other Primetime show. I'm sure he's had offers over the years. His humour, charm and charisma makes him easy to fall in love with and I know I'm not the only one that will feel a deep sadness the day he hangs up his PlayStation controller. And he ain't bad looking either if I do say so myself.

    Way late to the video but I think Rob is very talented. I think he would make a great voice actor and the scripts I assume he writes for his segment are incredibly well done. I know Ash has moved on but she’s a voice actor for the No Sleep Podcast, I bet Rob would be great doing something like that. Thanks for all the great videos and the Christmas Maze, you’re the best!

  • @treble6824

    It is true when he says it's a celebration of games. I never feel negative when watching the channel and it doesn't dampen my opinion on certain video games either

    The interview we've all been waiting for. Love learning about how you got into the industry, and met the team, etc. Makes me sad we don't see much of Nathan or Dan anymore. Easily my favourite channel. What an addition to the team Ash is as well, same with Rosie too.

    Rob, Nath, Dave, El, Rosie, Ash, and everyone else at PlayStation Access have single handedly kept me a PlayStation fan when the company started doing crappy things and pushing me away from the consoles. I love the show, you all's family-like authenticity, and the community!

    I used to watch access from the beginning, having had a ps3, then my girlfriend bought me an Xbox 360 for Xmas back in 2012 and I turned my back on PlayStation but a few months ago I bought myself a ps5 and have been watching loads of access videos, robs brilliant he’s funny and relatable, keep up the good work rob

  • @danieljohn9257
    @danieljohn9257 Před rokem +1

    The most enjoyable and entertaining interview I’ve seen in some time. Great questions Ross.
    I think Rob is like the Michael Keaton of CZcams. Keaton went from playing Beetlejuice to Batman in a year’s time! A special actor and a special time I will never forget.
    We’ve seen Rob as the lovable and hilarious villain Robert S. Pearson a number of times now. We’ve seen him in drag in an Access Granted video which was utterly hilarious. And we’ve just witnessed Rob being the personable and vital part of PlayStation Access that he is.
    As a 46 year old American male who’s been gaming since I was a kid in the 80s, people like Rob and channels like PlayStation Access are what make CZcams so special, and more enjoyable than most TV shows!

  • @crossslashgame
    @crossslashgame Před rokem +2

    Rob!? What you doing here!? Lovely to learn a bit about your background. First time I saw Rob, was when he first appeared on the PS4 app for playstation access with Holly, Nathan and Dave. Feels like many moons ago... 2013 I think.
    He lost his hair along the way, but he has evolved to become one of the best in the business. Keep it going mate and good luck going forward.

  • @ndld4955
    @ndld4955 Před rokem +2

    I think it's VERY easy to forget the amount of actually work
    (not just playing games)😏
    But actually hard work they actually do to make it all come together in the end..
    So on behalf of the playstation access audience.. (myself included)😬
    Thanks you Rod and to the rest of the team (both seen and unseen)
    Thanks a lot to you all 😌👍
    Oo and here's a break 🍫😏😌👍

    Thought I would tell you my favourite Skyrim glitch... it was a NPC just stood outside one of the towns and every time I visited this town the NPC duplicated. I think it got to the 4th time and he was partly underground, but his animations were srill active, etc. I went back a couple more times for quests etc and there was about 7 of them stood around and some partly underground still talking and looking at me ... or up at me depending if he was an underground one. 🤣
