50 Facts about the Playstation

[@bryanbeach2572]

PS1 was pinnacle gaming. A huge variety of games (including timeless classics), no DLC or patches, no micro transactions, and tons of replay value. I miss the 90s.

[@steelbear2063]

Ah yes, I too love when games aren't patched and we are stuck with bugs, errors and improper balancing

[@bryanbeach2572]

@@steelbear2063 only difference is that PS1 games were usually released complete with few bugs. Of course, those games were simpler than what we have today.

[@user-zb7lq3li7m]

​​@@steelbear2063ah there is better games on PS1 that even change yhe gaming scene in many ways. sorry but gaming this days is about live service shit like wow, lol anything online, microtransactions for progress, dlcs or lootboxes, you need internet to play games and the emphasis too much on esports makes the games boring and shit

[@joshpl5451]

For me the pinnacle was PS2, as it was basically PS1 but on steroids (better graphics and better games). After that everything went downhill.

[@Eyes-Scream0213]

​@@steelbear2063 this is only good for multiplayer games but during that era most of the games are single player and most of the games that was released on PS1 are totally fix with mild bugs. They are also releasing complete games before with manuals and inserts.
And the best thing about the PS1 and PS2 era is there's no need for you to install/download games.
Right now if you buy a game you need to wait for how many hours and wait for it to finish.

[@splisken07]

Still have my original PS1 in working order. It is sacred among my console collection and easily my most nostalgic. This piece of hardware holds the best memories of my gaming childhood

[@kingtimmy88]

what's your favorite game? what was your first game?

[@steelbear2063]

@@kingtimmy88
I know you didn't ask me, but my favorite PS1 game is Resident Evil 3, and the first one - that's a bit tough to remember, but I think it was Crash Bandicoot 1

My first console and what made me a Sony fan boy until now…… great memories with Tekken and Tenchu

[@steelbear2063]

Hell yeah Tenchu. The first one anyway

[@UKSponge360]

Tenchu! Now we're talking!!

[@ablationer]

I've cherished both my PSX and PSOne immensely. From Resident Evil to Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo and Legend of Dragoon, I keep some of the happiest and most vivid memories from my childhood.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Best startup sound of any console ever.

[@Resimaster]

Interestingly, Sony did actually develop a console called the PSX. It was a multimedia system that also played PS2 games and was released only in Japan. Many people don't realise this and so still think the original PlayStation is called the PSX.

[@arielzabala8805]

Thank you for the 8:43 sounds. I got goosebumps, travelled back to my adolescence. What a great console!

[@trueleox]

absolutely satisfying, specially having gone through an old system with reading problems. "It loaded finally I can play"

[@arielzabala8805]

@@trueleox that was pure adrenaline back in the day haha!

[@brmawe]

I've had the PS1 for YEARS I think.. and for some reason I never got the proper equipment for it (cords, etc). When I look back on it, the ps1 had some impressive & pretty cool games.

[@solid_fire9388]

my childhood console 🥲 man what great it was playing Crash, Tekken, and many other great games 😊 truly iconic console

[@Magazanga]

I wish I'd known you could undelete saves when I was a kid.

[@Fahmi4869]

1:32 PS1 was my very first game console that I owned but I never knew this feature existed

[@Lofirainbows]

Games were so varied back then, as genre conventions weren't established; there was a lot of experimentation.

[@soulreaver1983]

Absolutely outstanding video many thanks I'm so glad I still have all my PlayStation 1 games still!🙂

[@juanmartinstehle5047]

My favourite system of all time and for a lot people too. I spent hours on that console and two of my favorite franchises were born in that system: Crash Bandicoot and Resident Evil. Thumbs Mr. Morgan.

[@Yuffie13]

I still have my PSOne 😁 Not hooked up to a TV atm, but that could change. My mom used to love its music CD-playing function; she always says she misses the visualizer.
I didn't know the trick about recovering data on the memory card - I'll have to try that.

[@Krzemieniewski1]

No RPG? What a stupid policy. Especially during Golden era of cRPG. Oh and some od my favourite games of all times on PSX for example MGS, RE2 and 3

[@steelbear2063]

PSX is not PS1. It was a whole different thing. Closer to PS2 actually than to PS1

[@donbebusta]

Yeah The RPG games is goat bro
Like mother 1 and 2 and 3 ( mother 2 is the japanease name and the original name of earthbound ) which is my favorive

It's so strange that this is classed as a history lesson....😓 I remember first ever playing it like it was yesterday!

[@22gjreyes]

Sega Dreamcast facts next please. That console needs some love.

[@InkRibbon]

Agreed!

[@Rain006]

I had a n64 before the ps1 and then when I saw the intros to RE2 and Tekken 3 it blew me away how much a disc can hold. Left the 64 in the dust...

[@palaceofwisdom9448]

I love the startup music so much that I've had the Playstation 20th anniversary theme on my PS4 for most of its existence.

[@mmagoon67]

Gosh, the demo disk video really brings back memories...

[@undeadblackjack]

The PS1 was the best console. Lots of storage space because of CD technology, great audio chip, and just enough power to force the developer to make a good game.

[@ankokunokayoubi]

This is my first console and what built my interest in video games in general.

[@quanbrooklynkid7776]

Word...

[@FR3vi3ws]

I absolutely can't get enough of your fact videos, so nice to have on in the background. Thank you for doing them 👍

[@striderreborn1467]

I was slightly late in the game when it was new but I didn't get my first PS1 until the Christmas of 1997. I wasn't exposed to Resident Evil until the Directors Cut (The good one) at the age of 14. The first 3 games I got for it were Hasbro's Frogger, Tekken 1 (Greatest Hits Version), and MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero.

[@xCrodumx]

4:20 I'm so happy that you used the Demo1 intro

[@markbade565]

8:43 who else drops whatever they're doing to just sit and listen to this epic startup. When this played at the end of one of the levels in Astros playroom I almost cried

[@anssil5640]

I remember playing Metal Gear Solid for the first time in 1998 or 1999 and I was really confused with the X meaning cancel and circle meaning OK. Back then I didn’t know the meaning behind it. Btw that PlayStation 1 startup sound still gives the nostalgia chills everytime.

[@rpgenious1946]

Excelent video!! I spend more hours that I like to admit listening to music in the PSOne watching the animations hahaha

Seeing the OG Playstation with the AV outs... brings back memories man.

[@tarabinko]

I had the PlayStation when I was little in ‘97. PS2 I got it in either ‘01 or ‘02. The PS3, got that in Christmas ‘07. Those were the times.

[@3Storms]

The PS1 also played movies in a short-lived format called "VCD." Also devs preferred the CD format because it was CHEAPER than cartridges with chips. A blank CD was a dollar while a cartridge with chips costed significantly more to produce.

[@jessycruz2465]

One of the best gaming experience I ever had was from the ps1. Nothing really beats going from 2d gaming from the snes/genesis to 3d gaming from the ps1, It was so fucking magical. I remember still playing my ps1 and keeping me occupied up to my college because the amount of great games it has in it's library are just too damn many.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

My brother's sister-in-law bought a Playstation for her kids but for some reason refused to buy them a memory card. Her son bitched about it every time I saw him, so much so that I bought him some cheap third party card so he could finally save in Resident Evil and Tekken and didn't have to leave his console on an obscenely long time.

3:20 pretty sure it was actually 1 megabit rather than 1 megabyte of data. I remember in the 90's trying to interface the memory cards via a parallel port because you could put 16 memory cards on an unformatted 3.5" hd floppy disk.

[@ManOnHorizon]

4:49 - it would be awesome to have character's health and ammo status on this thing in RE games (kinda like on VMU).
The only problem - it's useless if it goes into the memory card port for there's no chance to observe it while playing...

3:25 Wrong. The Memory Card size is 1 Megabit which is equivalent to 128 Kilobytes. If it's 1 Megabyte, you could store 120 blocks of game saves.

bits are speed, bytes are data.

Megabit: download speed
Megabyte download size

@3:27 It's one megaBIT (128kb) not megabyte. So smol.

The bit has already been explained in comments but they were the days to tell how powerful the console was.
Master System/NES 8bit
Mega Drive(Genesis)/SNES 16bit.
Saturn/Playstation 32bit.
N64 64bit.
Dreamcast/PS2 128bit
Then that's when it died I don't think specs were ever mentioned like that again.

26 you are incorrect. Only the Earliest revisions with some pretty Substantial Modifications done to their Audio Output Circuitry were / would be considered Audiophile quality.
This is something a lot of people don't know and assume their SCPH 100X revision console is worth a lot of money, often advertising it as "Audiophile" which it is not without significant modifications done to it.

[@tubebammy]

Ayo... You didnt have to put the sound of the PS1 booting up but you did it anyways. You did that for us man! It doesnt matter if I listen to it 5 million times in a row it always sends shivers through my body.
Also, us 90s kids remember those days when a scratched up disk was put into the system. I remember praying to the PS Gods that the game would boot past the second screen. If it didnt you had to try your damndest clean the back of it lol. Alcohol, your breath, wipe it off with a t-shirt/cloth. But if it didnt go past the second screen you were just screwed.
Its because of that it took me until I was about 13 before I finally fully beat RE2 because of my irresponsible cousin. My sister and I told her over and over and over "STOP LEAVING THE GAMES OUT THE CASE" but no matter what she kept leaving them out ON THEIR BACK. For WHATEVER reason her favorite game to leave outside its case, ON ITS BACK, was always Leons disc smh. Because of that Leons disc never booted past the second screen. For years the only side of the disc I could beat was Claire's A side... Not til I finally managed to get my hands on it again about 5 years later, brand new case and discs. Had stopped playing my PS2 and everything JUST so I could finally beat the entirety of Re2 Also, imagine my surprise when i was finally able to find out Mr. X was a thing... Good times.
