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!
Got a PS1 for my ninth birthday and it’s still my favorite gift ever.
you poor soul
@@allinadadsdaystill a good console stop being a gaybox like enjoy what console you have so what if it’s old?
@@mrkubzozcan4878that’s kind of rough for Xbox man I mean me and most of my friends play Xbox and we’re all straight dudes with girlfriends
@@allinadadsdaystop being gay old things are still great i had 2 ps4s 1 broke and 1 is with my mom they were both great now i have a ps3 super slim its still really good and has awesome games
I truly give a fuck
I have watched you and your videos for many years. Your knowledagbleness and your quirkiness, always appeals to me, keep being you.
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 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.
I love these type of console recap videos
Love these types of videos please more please!!!❤
great video, would love to see more like this
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
This is the old overclocked media mystery tech vibes I fell in love with < 3
This and mystery tech are when you guys actually seem like your having fun, I'm glad youve been stepping away from brand deals after that fire reflection video < 3
with so many tech youtubers selling out for things like the cybertruck that we all know sucks ass, its nice to see you, Ken, Matt, and the rest of overclocked only have more fun and get more and more honest and real with us < 3
I hope you make more gaming history videos like this, and I hope overclocked stays this way for a long time < 3
Really good video. Nice Austin 👍
great video bro!!!
At 12:10, that's not Tekken. It's Battle Arena Toshinden.
Mixed up Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer @ 00:10 as well
Someone beat me to the punch.
Beat me to it
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.
@@johnpenguinthe3rd13 womp womp
This video just made me realize that I'm ready for a new Video game historian video.
0:09 says gran turismo but shows ridge racer
Yoooo that Hollywood Video imprint at 16:54 that's a huge amount of nostalgia
0:10 that’s a clip of Ridge Racer dawg 😭😭
No? That's clearly gran turismo. Ridge Racer map was on the top left not bottom left.
@@renofumi28 that's ridge racer as u can see the car clearly say namco the creator of ridge racer and plus the car is the classic ridge racer car
@@renofumi28 just use google lens, its Ridge Racer
“Clearly”?
I will never understand how proud people are to be wrong on the Internet.
What@@renofumi28
Please do a part 2 talking about the PlayStation 2!
Really enjoyed this video, would love more like it
Damn such nostalgia that sound gives (i love it)
Please do more of these retrospectives.
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.
16:52 seeing the Hollywood Video logo on the Spyro game just took me back 20 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.
Can't wait for the next video
I sometimes wonder how ahead his uploads are considering how fast he uploads such high quality content weeks? months? YEARS?
i got gossebumps from that impression
Playstation survived the "Console Wars" in the late 90s and early 2000s.......and has dominated the market over the last decade or so
PlayStation currently has no games until 2025
Console not selling
PSVR2 dead
Jim fired for failing to stop Xbox
PS Plus losing millions of subscribers
PS portal flop
PlayStation announced it is now third party and focusing of PC ports because you don’t buy games.
🤡
Bahaha
Nintendo Wii:
Am I a joke to you?
@@onetwo6039The Wii lost steam after 2009 to be honest. Motion controls got old and cumbersome really quickly it's a wonder why Microsoft lost focus and made the kinect which is the real reason why they've never come close to replicating Xbox 360s success
@JayTechZM Mario Galaxy 2 and Skyward Sword both released near the end of the Wii's lifetime, and they were pretty big
More videos like this would be sick!
This video really gave me nostalgia for video games seeing as how I was born in 85 and really grew up with all this
You know i was waiting for the ps2 part and the video ended🥹
These are great love the history do more company's 😁
Please
I love the factor that you start with a game that originally came out for the PS3!
Reminds me of playing my first console the sega master system going to the loft right now to dig it out
We really were the luckiest kids on earth growing up in that era ❤
Amen brotha 🙏
Scrolling for the ridge racer and Tekken corrections. Ah, there they are.
😂😂😂😂😂 Austin never stops uploading blud is literally a machine 😂
Nintendo of Japan is anticonsumer and beholden to old traditions. Microsoft has more money than sense. They both are there own worst enemies. Sony isn't a great company but all they had to do was the bare minimum to 'win'.
microsoft has one way more then playstation. because microsoft has the games
@@allinadadsday Such as?
@@allinadadsday Well Microsoft has Xbox and PC gaming, so though Xbox isn't their boon, PC Master race keeps them well into the game.
@@ASx2608 That person is not being serious.
@@lovehatecommentsI know
I wouldn’t say that’s true since here in the United States they’re basically tied in sales.
Nope. Not tied in the US. Ps still beating Xbox in and out of US
In the United States the difference is under 1 million units. That’s as I said basically the same.
It’s actually 4.22 million in the US as of now my guy.
Idea: broke vs broke or pro vs pro
0:10 That's Ridge Racer Type 4 100%. I grew up with that game 🎮. That confusion almost breaks my heart 😢
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.
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 CZcams and the AVGN.
Good vid
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.
Just have to say that gamers today need to thank GenX for carrying gaming forward after the game crash in 1983. We not only kept buying games, we made a lot of those games too. GenX was the generation that decided to never stop having fun. We embraced "geek stuff" and refused to "grow up". Critically, the PS1 came out right when a lot of us were getting "real jobs" and we wanted games for actual adults. Sony delivered.
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.
Still got my 1999 ps1 somewhere, thing still works.
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
A video that isn’t just Austin unboxing “tech” from wish or temu? Am I in an alternate universe?
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 😂
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.
What game is playing at 4:03 ? Or was that just a demo?
Says "gran turismo", shows ridge racer type 4
Also…dude you are driving game crazy. 😂
Loved this episode
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
Austin you should do a ultimate ps vita
The first edition PS3 40/60GB machines was the best PS as it was the only one to be truly compatible with PS2 & PS1 games
Aaaah Gran Turismo... It may have had only 5 songs in the soundtrack, but they were real bangers :)
Yes, we want more.
Love this video!
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.
Sunday tech!!!!!!!!! Thank you sir because of you I got discounted ps5 at Best Buy 🎉🙌
Im absolutely loving how Sony rolls out the red carpet for PC.
It makes sense from a business standpoint to being games there too.
SEGA did it before it was cool (pretend to be shocked)with games like Daytona and Sonic R.
Why? Because more players means more profits. It helps business boom.
Though day and date releases may affect hardware adoption, consoles are either sold at a loss, or made by former EA employees. (RIP 3DO, You did nothing wrong). So it's not a huge deal for them.
17:21 sounded more like a bad impression of the GBA startup than a bad impression of the PS1 startup lol
This is great. I like how this feels like the “ultimate game cube video” where you do the history and bigger picture of a console or console generation. I think covering arcades to the present in a “history of gaming” series would be super cool. Could do each company and their console of that generation. Sony PS’s, Sega arcade boards/mega/Dreamcast, Microsoft. I hope you continue this series!
I know they take more effort than short, but I strongly prefer one of these lig videos over a dozen shorts.
Old enough to own every single one. Sega Dreamcast should have got a mention, Austin!
Final Fantasy VII and Twisted Metal was fun
you named my favs too
Wow I'm getting old 😅 this all legit feels like stuff that happened yesterday
11:16 awesome moment in gaming
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
The reason for that weird artifact is the lack of z buffer that handle the depth of objects.
I think the real winner was the friends we made along the way
Yes. Please continue the series. I’ve enjoyed learning the history behind the consoles.
Sony with the CD offered very flexible ordering terms for developers where you needed to order way ahead with catridges from Nintendo, so if a game sold well you could more easily order more and the cost for a CD was way lower as well so it isn’t as waste of money to over order CDs as it was with catridges.
PlayStation 1 had better margins for retailers which is why they pushed it more than any other console at the time.
Amazing video Austin can't wait for the PS2 history video!
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.
More please
😊
Nice watch, Austin, what is it?
....so many fond memories
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
0:11 but you couldn’t edit in the PS1 intro chime??? Instead we got this🤦🏻♂️
Not bad, it's not bad to wait for the sequel 2🙏
That was fantastic . I played
Austin looking like Billy The Quiz Boy as per usual
I was a 100% PlayStation kid when I was young and I really want to see this series continue
Sony's dirt cheap stock price & low attach rate is DEFINITELY NOT a Win.
This feels a lot more like Old Austin and I’m all for it
Any way you can share where you got your shirt?
PLEEEEASE do one of these on the ps2!
Can you do this for the rest of the PlayStation consoles?
Sure !
They won because the Xbox brand under Spender doesn’t appeal to anyone outside of Burger King employees and PC gamers with anger issues.
Xbox's main issue is that they take games that cater SOLELY to the states and assume it will be jist as popular elsewhere.
Japan doesn't care for FPS games like the states, or big battle royales, so naturally they won't sell as good elsewhere in comparison.
Sony, SEGA and Nintendo knew that and tried/try to cater to each domain with more genres like RPGs, platformers, racers, etc.
I love Xbox, but they're incredibly dense.
