    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 Год назад +32

      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.

    This reminds me of G4. Basically a tv channel that started with games and tech, later expanded to movies, internet and pop culture. And then the boobs and "College Frat Bro" tv shows took over.
    Unlike the PlayStation Magazines, G4 never recovered.
    Edit (2-3 years later): Keep in mind that this comment was posted sometime in 2019 or 2020, before G4's revival in Fall 2021. So I know it's back, and I know Scott the Woz is on it.

      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?
