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.

The ps2 magazine is a guy trying really hard to prove to his friends that he's not gay

I thought "Rate your mate" was going to be a judging competition on how cool you and your mates are/look... ;-;
I would think it would be better than this sexist douchebro nonsense.
Forreal! That atleast would've been somewhat cool, but that segment was straight up creepy. Especially seeing how they BEGGED people to send in photos

@@BigBoiCannon remember that meat is a generic term for friend in the UK, leading to some very awkward double entendres like this.
That actually wouldn't be a bad idea for a magazine contest; take a photo of you and your friends having a fun and which ever group looks like they're the most fun wins.
I love how the magazine is all "EW BOYS KISSING EACH OTHER EW UGH" yet Electric Six's "Gay Bar" is listed at 2 for popular music shortly after
Seems like someone on the team had a nasty case of internalized homophobia.

PlayStation 2 magazine: were like playboy but for PlayStation
3D bewbs
Playboy had great articles though, I'm not kidding.
@@Clay3613 well yeah, it's supossed to be a magazine for men of culture.
Penthouse was for porn.
GQ was more of the fashion side of Playboy, with fewer naked women
PS3, PS4 and probably PS5 Magazines: **CLEAN AS HELL FOR SOME REASON**
I guess you could call it PlayboyStation 😏
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.
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.
that "past sexism" argument sounds like it'd only be made by people who wished they were in the time period they were defending...for all the wrong reasons...
I kind of agree, something in the past should be judged by the standards of that time. But since they obviously had standards better than that, so can’t say it about them.
@@SineN0mine3 Very true. It's not worth being angry at stuff you cannot change because it has already happened. You can only think about the present.
Later that day, the head of Sony called either the head of Nintendo or Masahiro Sakurai and asked "Why did King Dedede send us a form asking us for a copy of Cash Banooca 2 Gringott's Steak House?"
Or even better it somehow works and Caddy gets a new copy of Crash 2. Complete with its cover replaced with the wierdly zoomed in version of Crash 1's boxart.
"And where can I find "I'm Not Doxxing Myself" in the world map?"
"PLEASE GET YOUR PENGUIN OFF OF THE PHONE!"
"Sony. Please leave us alone."
My sense of humor went south and I can't stop laughing.....
Because Penguins are birds
"We think Klonoa 2 is crap"
So they have chosen DEATH!!!
Death...by exile
*KILL THEM ALL*
LET US PURGE THESE HERETICS, BROTHERS!
Time for the crusade.
So Klonoa 2 is really good then. I do have but have yet to play it as I don’t have the first game. Should I keep waiting or just go ahead and play Klonoa 2.
IIRC one of the reasons they actually stopped the 'softcore porn' thing was that News agents (at least my local ones) had begun to put them on the 'top shelf' which was reserved for the Adult magazines along with the softcore stuff like Loaded and FHM.
No wonder.. they.. really were almost crossing the line.
@@javieralbadalejo6354 ALMOST?!
Ah market pressure. Not even the bros can go against this one
Well, that was the correct place for them at that point. It was a video game magazine. That was pathetically desperate!
I remember hat
"Are you scared people will think you don't like this?"
Depressingly, the answer for a lot of people is yes.
Indeed. why has humanity not been nuked yet
I wonder where the couples that participated in the "Rate Your Mate" thing are today.
Probably apart
The one with the big picture really worries me actually... It's like a mentally abusing relationship.
Probably in therapy tbh...
That’s emotional abuse and sexual abuse so…hopefully FAR apart
Oh my God, I remember being about 11 and literally looking up the address for the publisher off the dead rat advert and writing an complaint letter. That's the first time I properly decided to take a stand over something. I stand by it now, though, it's still gross.
Good on you, it was horrible :'c Did you ever get a reply from them?
@@LadyBrightcynder I so remember getting one, but I can't remember what it said :(
@virtue dude it was a golf game advertisement i would complain if a golf game advertisement was a god damn dead bleeding rat

A part of me wants to believe this was all something they really felt uncomfortable doing but were forced to. Because it's so SO SO OVER THE TOP it's incredible.
As someone whose job is to make magazines, put texts and photos and such on place, we have no say what actually gets put on the pages. People send us the material and we just put them in place. I would really like to know how those people felt like, who had to actually make the thing but didn't write the articles or choose the photos.
Especially if any of those workers were women themselves
My guess/hope is that it was decided by some scummy higher-ups and marketing agents and the rest of the staff kind of just had to go with it.

Holy shit what a blast from the past
DEXTER MANNING!!!! Love your content, been watching since almost the beginning. Even the old deleted cringe factor vids. Really appreciate what you do.
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.
Well, they're able to get away with more stuff being shown in media in britain, and it seems that they thought that they were trying to appeal to their audience in the worst possible way.
Irony much?
Canadian living in the United States here
The UK has always had a lot more saucy humor and also magazines.
If you ever get the chance look up the sun. If I remember correctly they had something called the three-page rule where basically every three pages they had a nude woman
@@Marlyjade Not quite. Page 3 refers to literally the third page of the Sun (and several other British tabloids) which used to feature a topless model. The Sun stopped do Page 3 in 2015, but when the PS2 magazines were being published there were 3 or 4 newspapers that had naked women in every issue.
The fact that a gaming magazine was pretty much advertising porn call services and crap like that is just kind of nuts to think about for me. Like those pages you could tell me we're from a porn magazine and I'd believe it. They were really that desperate. Yikes

@@javieralbadalejo6354 I've been trying to find things like the stuff you mentioned above because I just have to peer into the minds of these guys. But this video is all I can find that goes into depth on the subject.
Guess Frank Miller's subtext in The Dark Knight Strikes Again, of certain outlets being desperate for revenue to the point of straight up shoving porn into it, might've been a bit accurate.
He was just looking in the wrong place for it.

4:53 It's a shame games don't have proper instruction manuals any more. The ones that had a blurb of the story and character bios were great.
My favorite was for the original Halo. There was a whole section detailing Bungie's history, ideals and ultimate ambition to achieve world domination. It started serious and spiralled into lunacy by the end.
Witcher 3 came with a detailed compendium, for free. ;)
I mean...nowadays there's wikis.
I find it stupid that game cases today still have clips and holders for manuals, yet no manual.

I love that the PlayStation magazine went from a totally normal gaming magazine to straight up playboy throughout the years lol
Tbh even Playboy has a semblance of class, they've had some pretty high profile writers over the years. This stuff was just puerile lowest common denominator garbage
Playboy has actual current affairs content though and tasteful photoshoots.
These magazines were just FOOKIN RITE MAE LOOK A THEM TITS

If the words coming from an asinine article written by an inane individual affects you so much as to legitimately feel "dehumanized," then it's more a statement about you than the magazine.
If you were old enough at the time you probably would have never ended up playing video games tho
Something people are failing to realise is that until at least the mid 2000s the opinion of most females was that video games were for nerdy children. Its not that women couldn’t play video games it’s just that the vast majority of them actively didn’t want to.
It’s not your fault for being too young to remember that, but that’s how it was.

Same for a channel in Latin America called Animax, it started as a 100% anime channel, later adding some video game commentary, which was ok. Then added more and more live action and reality tv and game shows because according to Sony "nobody watches anime all day".
@@FlashQuatsch mines in philippines but it has weird english dub idk why
@@lmao5688 do shows usually get dubbed to Tagalog or other language?
"Ben thanks you for the shoutout." said Ben.
Thanks Ben
"Hey man, you're cool," a commenter remarked.
I love reading old gaming magazines.
Like when they talked about how excited everyone was for Silent Hills.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Well, if Chris Pratt can play Mario, Brad Pitt as crash bandicoot is plausible
"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!"
[AVGN flashbacks ensue.]
*drinks rolling rock*
Funnily enough, my Gran literally did own a Playstation. Crash Bandicoot was her favourite series
Your gran is the coolest person ever
I wish my Gran was like that...
One of my grandmas (yeah, I got two) owned a PlayStation 2, and I remember playing it at her house a lot.
She had some games I could play, from PS1 games to PS2 games to even a couple demo discs! I remember this one demo disc, lemme reminisce for a moment. It had this sorta factory theme, where the intro FMV showed the demo disc being made, set to this industrial, booming yet bouncy music. I don't remember much about it, but I do remember a couple of the games on that demo disc:
Bust-a-Move 4, Abe's Exoddus, and... no wait, actually, that's it. Anyways, uh, what were we talking about?
mine loved final fantasy and zelda
Im so happy for your grandma

Do you think he needs a monster to clobbah dat dair Kirby?
Oh God! I know the early to mid 2000's where embarrassing but that stuff made me genuinely uncomfortable. I can't imagine how it felt for girls reading the magazines at the time. I stopped reading PSM after the PS1 so I don't know if the same thing happened to the Swedish branch that I grew up with, but I certainly hope it didn't.
I wonder if its how modern day feminism in the video gaming industry came to be? XD
@@BlazeHeartPanther I don't think the industry needed PSM's help to be perceived as a dudebro club but they sure as hell didn't make us look any better.
The 2000's was a wierd decade
They were not the target audience.....that simple.
@@MabuseXX Then who? People who don't care about videogames to begin with?
Urgh, God, when you showed some of the horrible crap that were in those particular Playstation magazines... I think I suffered psychological damage.
As soon as you rang up Konami I put 2+2 together and realised Jim Sterling is probably the reason you can't ring their office anymore
"The badger's nadgers" I'm starting to see how caddy's sense of humour was formed
Don't be dissing on my potato magazine, the spud of the month is the best.
MR POTATO.
What do they do when Potatoes are not in Season?
17:24 No Caddy you're wrong that's Bonus Bob.
Where's his evil brother Bonus Rob?
Ronus Rob.
@@LaggySnake no it's Bob Sunob.
anyone noticed the thumbnail change?
Yes. I do.
Yeah
Rate your Mate in a ps2 Magazine is the essence of "Sir this is a Wendy's"
The question "why are you licking component cables?" will probably never be asked again in human history.
I still have all of those magazines and wierdest time was when they included 4 full pages of nude images and web links for hentai and saying those are links only for people getting all A in school. It is damn gaming magazine.
why does it say ......oh no for the thumbnail now
"I must go quickly."
(Scuttles away)
Me too, dude. Me too.
"I MUST GO QUICKLY "

Hey look it's Nathaniel Foga, as in Junge of the Georgle Nathaniel Foga.
Uh... Meow?
I was the 69th like, nice
i must accelerate rapidly
Caddy: the man, the myth, the badger's nadgers!
wow, this a really interesting video! I'm glad you made it, it's really cool looking at stuff like this from the past and the culture it was made in- heck, I wasn't even alive or able to play video games for most of the time these magazines were made, and it's really interesting listening to you talk about them in such depth
“england controller: this is really cool” sent me into orbit
14:10 for his neutral special, he wields a gun
1:02 I have some bad news Caddy, I heard Hiroshima The Musical bombed.
Edit: This comment exploded!
I heard it was a really explosive event.
Eat your cereal
I thought it was a blast.
I thought the show really radiated with energy.
Booooooo
"Everyone enjoys bodes"
I can now conform that snakes, too, enjoy bodies
Should probably catch that goddamn python now
Hey, buddy, it’s been 3 years. You catch that Python? You good?
@@Joshdoingthings1 I actually gave my pet snake to a new home. nobody ever found the bodies
@@KittyLitterYT ah, glad to hear! Hope the snake is doing well with its new owner and *_where did you put the bodies?_*
@@Joshdoingthings1 Aha well you see there's a little space right under- WAIT DID I SPELL "CONFIRM" AS "CONFORM" IN THAT ORIGINAL COMMENT WAS I STUPID OR SOMETHING?
@@KittyLitterYT and now that you’ve mentioned spelling, I’ve now noticed that you spelt “bodies” as “bodes”
I do love a good bode myself
"girls and corpses"
or what it's called when a late stage PlayStation magazine covered a zombie game
While "Hiroshima: the Musical" may have bombed, I have high hopes for the sequel, Nagasaki.
William Sibo That one bombed to
The spin-off, Fukushima, was lit.
You're all going to hell
A Meladaptive Daydreamer You are sensitive
@@timmyandtommynook9763 Also being sensitive is a good thing as far as I know
Gotta love that dig at Onision, lmao.
So, the PS2 Magazine was involved with the surge of proto-incels/simps/neckbeards, good to know. (I'm only saying this as a joke, idek if it's accurate)
@Janeiro I
Ah, ok. Like I said, I wasn't sure if my statement was completely accurate there.
I am so glad I found your channel all those years ago. You’ve given me nothing but nostalgia and laughs. Your videos are so rewatch able. Keep it up man. Appreciate your hard work.
"They needed to appeal to a wider audience,"
So they went with the DeviantArt audience. GENIUS!
Even they have more class
Nah, there would have been more furries if that was the case
Deviantart is 90% trash. This here is 100%
This whole comment chain is "I have achieved comedy", the series.
Deviant-Art isn't totally bad, I found lots of hentai
fun fact: Wumpa Fruits are basically synonymous with Apples in the Japanese version of Crash Bandicoot. In the Japanese version, the fruits are called "リンゴ" (ringo) which translates to "Apple".
wait... so people in Japan think Ringo [Starr] is named Apple?
This is the Same dub that Renames The Crystals into "Power Stone".
Fun fact: Did you knoooow?
western game, so in this instance japan is wrong :p
This time, japan translation is wrong
I really love your videos Caddy, thanks for all the work you put into them. You have quickly become one of my favorite CZcamsrs.
Thank you so much on releasing these 2 videos its really taken me back. Keep up the great work
Bored in college and I see this in my feed...
God bless.
Also, please can we get a Klonoa 2 review?
I'm tired and read "feed" as "feet" and got very confused for a second
