      I get that same PS1 boot up sound every time I turn on my PS4. It's some sort of PS1 anniversary edition theme I installed a few years ago, not sure if it's still available at PS Store to download anymore.

      Which is why the Wii, which came out a couple of generations later, worked so well for and was such a hit with older games, and indeed all the casuals, because that was kinda how much of the stuff actually worked, especially the huuugely popular Wii Sports [Bowling] that basically had people swinging their arms about and moving into poses that was very similar to what they would do in an actual bowling alley.

    Maybe it had existed earlier, but the the first 'fanboi' wars I remember in gaming were PS vs Saturn. I never understood why you would argue over trivial differences and not just enjoy games back then, but today we have corporation soldiers ready to fight the good fight, so we didn't learn anything and its a silly today as it was then.

    Grew up in the SNES megadrive era but I can safely say the greatest console of all time imho is the PSX or PS1, but the Saturn, N64, PS2 were up there too.
    The amount of creativity coming out of all the studio's was amazing.
    The leap to 3D really bought out the best of them all, 2D titles also hit their peak creatively.
    It was the wild west of gaming, no holds barred sky was the limit, the only thing that could hold anyone back was their own imagination.
    Just a joy and a privilege to experience it first hand and to be a gamer in that era.
    Almost everything after then and until now has been a derivative or has been influenced in some way from that era.

    But the console launched at a pretty much unaffordable price , but of course one of my friends was lucky enough his dad bought him one , soon many sleepless nights were spent at his home , having our minds blown , Battle Arena Toshinden , Crash Bandicoot , WipEout and its amazing soundtrack were the precursors of a lifetime as a gamer , now 43yrs old with 2 kids and a PS5 on the shelf , I can't help but get emotional watching this.

  • @dan_loup
    @dan_loup 3 года назад +23

    The lack of Z-buffer and affine texture mapping are different problems. To fix the texture warping, you need to perform an operation commonly known as perspective correction on PC, where you perform a division on the texture coordinates with the perspective to get the texture to correctly scale. sony skipped on it because a fast division circuit would probably take too much space in the texture rasterizer chip.
    What the lack of Z-Buffer cause is stopping you from having triangles that intersect, so they're either behind or on top, causing triangles to "jump" as you're doing things such as rotations. it's quite jarring.

      ​@@jc_dogen It is a depth value, but the W one. The math that converts from 3D to 2D spits Z and W besides X and Y. both are "depth values" but the W is both used to create the perspective effect and fix the texture mapping.

    Tho it could've done with more levels and a longer season mode.

    Remember the promised, super hyped "M2 Accelerator" upgrade by Panasonic for the 3DO? It was back in 1995. They even released a demo of Bladeforce, a game which showed the M2's graphical capabilities. They said it was capable of moving 1 million polygons per second. But then, all of a sudden, the upgrade was cancelled and the 3DO condemned to death. I wonder what really happened there.

    • @wizardsandwarriorz
      @wizardsandwarriorz 3 года назад +1

      I had my keen eye on the M2 development. I owned a 3DO. Along with Bladeforce. I remember when the magazine Next Generation had a cover regarding the calabilities of the M2. I was 13 in 1995. Such a thrilling time for an obsessive gamer like myself. That passion hasn’t changed and I’m 39 now.

      @@wizardsandwarriorz I fondly remember the next gen console hype of 1995. So many new consoles, so many new games!!!! Back then I would buy Gamepro magazines and drooled over all those E3 1995 articles with tons of upcoming games. Some of them looked to good to be true, like Gotha for Saturn, the uncanny first images of Robotech for Ultra 64 or Razorwing for Playstation (What happened to the developer, N-Space?). But what really caught my interest was the M2 upgrade. Imagine Playstation, N64 and Saturn competing against a 1 million polygon per second behemoth with good third party support. The story would have been completely different!! In the next DF episode, I hope John mentions really obscure games like Team 47 GoMan and Razorwing. The first was supposed to be a launch game, but apparently was never released and the developers went into oblivion.

    I used to have the small ps1. Games were very expensive and you couldn’t even find them in my part of Eastern Europe, we relied on piracy and booting cds to play these games. The same went wit ps2. The first console to have actual support in these parts was the ps3, and with ps4 they even gave us a ps store in our currency. Microsoft and xbox still pretend like we don’t exist, even if it’s a pretty big market now.

    I was at E3 95 as a vendor and I attended the Sony $299 conference, I still remember how our jaws dropped and all we could say was "oh no Sega"
    There are also lots of dirty deeds on Sony's part that nobody knows about. Sony pretty much extorted major retailers into either not carrying Sega products, or placing them in parts of the store with less traffic. They spent tens of millions of dollars on this effort, among other nefarious business practices. It would make an excellent video at some point in the future on how Sony bludgeoned Sega to death with their Yakuza type business strategy.
