I truly give a fuck

Excellent work on this video. Love hearing about the history of how things we love came to be.

brother I was hooked on this video start to finish! would love all 5 part of this series!

I have watched you and your videos for many years. Your knowledagbleness and your quirkiness, always appeals to me, keep being you.

I didnt even get to grow up owning the ps1, but that startup sound is still one of the best pieces of my childhood, and i only got to play it at a relatives house once or twice a year

These type of videos are really good! Hope they produce more of those.

I like this style of video from Austin. Gives me a techlinked kinds of vibe in his own way and it hits 🔥

great video, would love to see more like this

This video just made me realize that I'm ready for a new Video game historian video.

At 12:10, that's not Tekken. It's Battle Arena Toshinden.

Lots of major mistakes in this video, like calling Battle Arena Toshinden "Tekken" and calling Ridge Racer Type 4 "Gran Turismo". These aren't obscure games, all four of those were major game releases at the time, so the fact that he can't even get the names correct is incredibly bad since this is suppose to be a look at the Playstation. It also doesn't help that the overall info in this video feels like it was taken from a poorly researched wiki and doesn't feel authentic at all.

Great vid man. Ah the days of stumbling home from the pub with your mates and booting up Wipeout. Good times. Great times. Woild love to see you do every PS in a series.

Yoooo that Hollywood Video imprint at 16:54 that's a huge amount of nostalgia

Please do a part 2 talking about the PlayStation 2!

Please do more of these retrospectives.

Damn such nostalgia that sound gives (i love it)

Can't wait for the next video

Really enjoyed this video, would love more like it

16:52 seeing the Hollywood Video logo on the Spyro game just took me back 20 years ❤

Great video Austin. Very interesting to hear the history of devices like this. Would you consider doing one about the OG Xbox - that would be another good story.

i got gossebumps from that impression

More videos like this would be sick!

I sometimes wonder how ahead his uploads are considering how fast he uploads such high quality content weeks? months? YEARS?

I remember getting a Playstation the year after it released for my birthday. The amount of hours, days, and months put into playing games on it still rings in my memories quite well. I stopped playing my SNES mostly, because of the PS and I also was still playing on my Sega Genesis as well. The PS was mind blowing to me, and my mom who would sit and play some of the 2 player games with me at the time. It was a very great time, and I still have some of my favorite games on a shelf today.

What game is playing at 4:03 ? Or was that just a demo?

This video really gave me nostalgia for video games seeing as how I was born in 85 and really grew up with all this

0:10 That's Ridge Racer Type 4 100%. I grew up with that game 🎮. That confusion almost breaks my heart 😢

I love the factor that you start with a game that originally came out for the PS3!

You know i was waiting for the ps2 part and the video ended🥹

Good vid

Love this video!

That start up sound is still sick to this day. I was a Sony kid. had ever ps1 game from us/ca and uk and Japan games. And the same for the ps2. my dad would go to work for a few months and come back with a box off all regions. And same for DVDs. had a uk tv and a Japanese one to. To go with both consoles. Ps1 and 2

Great video! Very nostalgic

15:20 no floating point processor, textures and geometry were all handled with whole numbers. I'd go into specifics on handling floating points within whole numbers, but that's beyond the scope of this comment.

Something that doesn't get talked about much because as far as I know this was only a thing in the UK, the PS1 was so instantly cool and part of pop culture that a lot of NIGHTCLUBS would start having them. Sony infiltrated the club scene thanks to games that fit the vibe pretty well like the Wipeout series and Ridge Racer, games legendary for their electronic music. Lara Croft in particular became such an icon of gaming that for a while she honestly sat up there with characters like Mario, Sonic and Pac-Man in terms of recognisability.

I think the real winner was the friends we made along the way

Still got my 1999 ps1 somewhere, thing still works.

Idea: broke vs broke or pro vs pro

Who's editing the video here? They are accidentally putting the wrong videogames in the videoclips.

Any way you can share where you got your shirt?

Nice watch, Austin, what is it?

Aaaah Gran Turismo... It may have had only 5 songs in the soundtrack, but they were real bangers :)

When I was a kid, my dad worked in Dubai. He sent me a PS1 for Christmas in 2004. But he didn't send any games. Being in a remote village in Kenya, I stayed with it for 2 years without any games until he brought me a PC. PC games were more accessible because of piracy. I donated the PS1 in 2008 without ever using it.

One of the big reasons playstation got a lot of developers on board was the production time of games, cartridges took a while to make and you had to make a big bet on launch, which often lead to companies having to sit on dead stock, where as with cds you can burn them easily, sony was able to offer companies new stock in 3 days, when Nintendo could take months

Yes. Please continue the series. I’ve enjoyed learning the history behind the consoles.

Says "gran turismo", shows ridge racer type 4

The reason for that weird artifact is the lack of z buffer that handle the depth of objects.

17:21 sounded more like a bad impression of the GBA startup than a bad impression of the PS1 startup lol

I played the heck out of that demo CD that came with the Playstation when I bought it, cause I couldn't afford a game along with it until the next birthday around. That Crash, Wipeout and Ridgeracer demo, along with that Diehard trilogy demo. That game was something else. We lived at the peak of all ages, nothing like the 90's.

why was the PlayStation one disc that weird purple color?

@ayrproductions

Ай бұрын

It was a form of copyright protection and was the only colour discs you could use in an original PS that wasn’t modded.

More please 😊

YES thank you Austin! PS1 played such a big part of my gaming childhood as well and that bootup sound is iconic. I'll never forget my excitement to play games like Crash Bandicoot 1 & 2, Jet Moto, Medal of Honor, Klonoa, Croc, The Lost World, and so many more! I played on PS1 and later PC until the Playstation 3 came out upon which I got a PS2 😂

To think that in 2024 the PS2 is still nowadays the holder of the record as the best selling home gaming console of all times (with over 150 millions unit worldwide)... That sure makes wonder...

that's because they were still sold for a more affordable price in countries where modern consoles are ridiculously overpriced worldwide all the way up to the early 2010's. There were even games released for it up until 2015.

Can you do this for the rest of the PlayStation consoles?

Great history lesson Austin. Have fond memories of first trying out the ps1 at Software Etc in my locale mall.

Yes, we want more.

11:16 awesome moment in gaming

Sega developed the first console to really rival Nintendo with the Mega Drive (Genesis). Sega had over a 50% market share during the 16-bit era and absolutely dominated here in Europe. Sure, the occasional person here and there had a Super Nintendo, but the big N didn't become a household name in the UK until the Nintendo 64. Likewise, our market didn't crash due to ET on the Atari. We were all happily playing Spectrums, Commodores and the Mega Drive's predecessor, the Master System. No-one here had really heard of the NES until KZread and the AVGN.

That was fantastic . I played

This feels a lot more like Old Austin and I’m all for it

Also…dude you are driving game crazy. 😂

CeX sells them, I bought one there, and my mate in the Netherlands got one from them too. Any of the PS2 models are about as hard to come by as guns on a war zone.

Buying my first PS1 is a memory I remember fondly. It was my birthday on a Easter Sunday and my dad wanted to buy me the PS1 but all the stores were closed. I was so eager to get the console we went to a swamp meet and bought a used one. I didn't care, it was awesome. I still remember turning that bad boy on and playing my first game, Wipeout. Ah, good memories.

The playstation launched during my 2nd year at Uni in the UKand I would have been around 19 at the time, it was perfect for those nights when we couldn't afford to go down the pub with quick easy loading of games and superb graphics at the time, I would later go on to get the PS2 on lauch day and still have that original console to this day.

much better, do one on arcade gaming

Old enough to own every single one. Sega Dreamcast should have got a mention, Austin!

Wow I'm getting old 😅 this all legit feels like stuff that happened yesterday

Fantastic

Suprised he didn't bring up the whole Final Fantasy VII situation.

....so many fond memories

The ads leading up to the launch of the PSX (PS1), there was a cryptic code starting with a red letter 'e' (enos). It was a hidden code meaning "Ready Ninth of September". Get it? Red-e (ready)/

Austin you should do a ultimate ps vita

Not bad, it's not bad to wait for the sequel 2🙏

Recently I wanted to get a ds console couldn’t figure out which console I wanted. Found a vintage Austin evans 2ds review!!! Least to say made my mind for me lol

I personally find the Sony vs Nintendo part funny because I didn't get a PS1 until it was $30 used and I only got it to play a couple SNES games lol.

Final fantasy 8 on ps1. Ended the life of a lot of systems. 😂 Time for disc 2. Puts disc 2 in. Error and told to put disc 1 in. Or the no space on memory card to switch to the next disc. Cant tell you how many friends of mine threw their systems at the wall for this issue.

A video that isn’t just Austin unboxing “tech” from wish or temu? Am I in an alternate universe?

Very interesting.

Sunday tech!!!!!!!!! Thank you sir because of you I got discounted ps5 at Best Buy 🎉🙌

are we at 2:46 completely ignoring the Master System?

No need to debate over gaming consoles when one pc is two times better than any modern console for $500. For example a combo of a Ryzen 5 3600 and an Rx 5700 xt that is a gaming masterpiece
