    Who remembers the magic of a PlayStation Demo Disc? I do. But I equally remember the magic - or more accurately, strangeness - of the Official UK PlayStation Magazine, which is where the PS1 demo discs and even PS2 demo discs came from in the first place if you lived in the UK. There was a US edition, plenty of spin offs and unofficial magazines, and even alternatives for other consoles like Nintendo Power, but this isn’t them, and you aren’t watching AVGN. Angry Video Game Nerd, sorry. Reading a PS1 magazine or a PS2 magazine was like reading your favourite book, if somebody kept on updating it because of new information. This magazine not only hid all of the classic PS1 demo discs that I talked about in my demo disc review video, but ended up becoming the best selling gaming magazine IN THE WORLD by 1999 after featuring a Metal Gear Solid review and Metal Gear Solid demo. The success never reached those levels again, but the magazine itself is still going today and managed to survive through the dawn of the internet, eventually ending up into the Official PS3 Magazine and nowadays the Official PS4 Magazine. I’m saying ‘official’ a lot because I think it’s important to stress that this wasn’t a third party magazine - it was Sony licensed, and as the magazine transitioned from PS1 to PS2, I’m surprised it was still Sony approved. Like any time a franchise or product reaches its highest sales volumes ever, this also means sales eventually do drop - and when this happens, to try to recreate initial high sales volumes in the early years, sometimes you end up completely losing it and forgetting what made you so successful in the first place. I bring this up due to what ends up happening to the Official PlayStation magazine - form the PS1 to PS2, it slowly became an adult-oriented and sleazy magazine for lads in a desperate attempt to reinvigorate the hardcore fans and bring in more casual people than ever. You won’t believe what you see towards the end of this video, and won’t believe this was an official publication from the heads of PlayStation themselves. Hotlines galore, inappropriate comments, weird articles, gross pictures, it’s got it all. Get ready for my longest video yet, grab your popcorn, and let’s look at these pages with our mouths gaping open together. Rate Your Mate, indeed. Welcome to the Caddicarus PlayStation magazine review, featuring Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima, Abe’s Odyssey, Abe’s Exoddus, Jak and Daxter, Heart of Darkness, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Enter the Matrix, Rascal, Tekken, and plenty of really old Nokia mobile phone ads for Java games and ringtones of early 2000’s hits.

    What I find fascinating is an argument is often "you can't criticise sexism in the past, as it was just a sign of the times, you can't criticise something in the past by today's standards".
    But, literally, the editors acknowledged that pandering to that audience isn't relevant to a magazine about a video console. They had a set of standards... Then went back on those standards they had set themselves to.

    • @SineN0mine3
      @SineN0mine3 2 роки тому +38

      I wouldn't say you can't criticise things in the past, just that there's not much point to doing so after a certain point.
      There was a negative reaction to the questionable content at the time, which was enough for them to change their minds, but if they hadn't, criticising them decades later wouldn't change their minds or any body else's now. If you want to express moral outrage, it might as well be for something relevant which people are still forming opinions about.
      Everything worth criticising so far has happened in the past. Since there's too much bad stuff in the world for anyone to care about all of it, it doesn't make sense to complain too much about old news except for the sake of nostalgia like this video does.

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but around the time the UK PlayStation magazine lost it's goddamn mind and became the print equivalent of every pervert character in every anime ever, the American equivalent, from what I remember, was still just a straight forward PlayStation magazine. Yes... the AMERICAN magazine was more subtle and respectful than it's UK counterpart.
    Even as an American... this seems backwards... what even is reality anymore?

      As an American, its probably that you probably don't realise just how vulgar and tasteless British Humour can get.
      Not meant condescendingly, but when people from the States talk about British humour, it seems they mostly see the witty sarcasm of Blackadder, rather than the crass garbage like the Keith Lemon movie.

    Caddicarus, I've been a watcher since 2014 or so, and I don't normally comment, but I gotta say, I genuinely think these recent videos are some of the best videos you've ever done. I've felt that your videos over the past couple of years were a bit more focused on random comedic timing and jokes rather than talking about stuff with that style of humor just sprinkled in, and that wasn't really my cup of tea, but this video, the demo disc one, the one where you bought bad games... all of these are absolutely phenomenal. Perfect mix of talking about the topic with your humor in, and the jokes don't ever completely overshadow the topic, nor do they feel like they go "too far" (not in a "this is offensive" way, I mean too far as in "this is too random/loud/ridiculous to be funny" (which I recognize it's all subjective, but personally if something is too loud or random it just feels annoying)). Either way, keep it up! I'm back to excitedly anticipating your new videos because they've just been so fantastic. Thanks for the great content!
