This forum. At least, i know this devil.
Out there, people with plenty of agenda, at least here, you get harsh truth.

Jez 7780 GMG, Sickhumor, KingThrash, JayTech, WUP Podcast are ones I usually bounce around to get some commentary and laughs on current gaming events. Sometimes also Reforge Gaming, for some of their informed perspectives. Also watch a bit of PuertoRock, JayDub, and when they do retro content, DF Retro.
For retro PlayStation content, I like watching Sean Season (their Obscure & Forgotten PlayStation Games series is fantastic, among all their other ones), Retro Pals (they cover a ton of non-PlayStation systems too, but I like their PlayStation coverage in addition to the SEGA, SNK, NEC etc. stuff), Ryan Kurshenoff (actually a music-focused channel, does mixes of Jungle/DnB/House etc. video game music and has a LOT of PlayStation game music among them), Stop Skeletons From Fighting (specifically their Silent Hill 2 coverage from years back), and RIP Felix (not specifically PS-centric or maybe even gaming-centric but their coverage into YLOD for PS3 (and RROD for 360) is best out there, bar none).
Website-wise places like Hardcore Gaming 101 have a lot of retro PlayStation stuff cataloged and discussed about, too, so I like to go there.

I was also thinking about whether Hermen, Shu, Scott Rohde and other people are big voices in the community too...
I would say Zuby tech and some others on twitter are also pretty influential.

Well that could be questionable considering how many on Reset basically want PlayStation to fail, and how they drove away most of their PlayStation users to Discord (and a few to other spots, like Twitter, GAF and here of course).
I hope he's not posting stuff that would blatantly go against the brand's best interests, but he could also just be biting his tongue on certain topics knowing the biases of the moderators & admin there, and the Xbox diehards they enable in particular.
Its odd we have so many that discuss Nintendo nostalgia,theories and game lore for stuff like zelda and pokemon.
Yet I have never seen a big channel that focuses on these for playstation franchises the closest thing I can think of is the gamingbritshow.
Idk why Nintendo is so popular on YouTube, I just wish there was something for playstation too
I couldn't care less about xbox style influencers or news channels like mystic Ryan
I want channels that discuss lore and theories, I would love them for Jak,Ratchet and all the other classic playstation franchises.

It’s because Sony doesn’t have much franchises which do release on a consistent base. Nintendo is much longer developing games than Sony. The majority of Nintendo franchise have been created 40-50 years ago. Fire Emblem, Pokémon Zelda and Xenoblade have much more complex lore than Sony’s first party games. Only God of War has a somewhat complex lore because of its many games, but that’s it. Pokémon, Zelda and Fire Emblem have many games and also a mysterious lore mostly. So it’s not a surprise we see many fans on YouTube making stuff about Nintendo lore.

You serious?
On what planet?
Forget lore, most Nintendo games barely have a story line and even those have been regurgitated for decades.
They do have. You probably have never played any of these games, I am certain of it. Sony’s especially the western made 1st Party games have a clear story. Whenever I played Zelda or Fire Emblem, the players were left with cliffhanger. Questions about the lore were unanswered. This is why we see consistently people making tons of lore videos to Nintendo games.
I have been playing Nintendo games since the 80s.
Nintendo games have better story/lore than Sony?
You are having a laugh.
Nah mate Sony’s 1st Party games (except the Japanese games) are like movies. There is no need to discuss any lore. Sony’s 1st Party games had good lore in the PS1-PS3 era. The Hollywood blockbusters are boring af, never played one of them again after finishing the story.
