Yeah, no actual ps1 game has textures that look this sharp. Imagine characters in MGS1 or Syphon filter or Resi 2. Actually this looks like there is a bit of antialiasing as well. This is of course a single model, not a game so that must be why the console could easily handle it.
@@kulsevdasi I believe that this demo was mostly meant to show developers the amount of polygons that the PS1 could have on screen, and devs at the time likely understood that this level of fidelity was only possible because the demo was only rendering a single model and absolutely nothing else
@@apictureoffunction yeah thats the only way it would make sense. I mean you look at something that is crazy ambitious for ps1 tech, like MGS 1, and something like a whole game area has about the same amount of polygons as this animal.
@@kulsevdasi yeah this was definitely a "pushing the tech to it's limits" type demo for sure. It did actually inspire a lot of devs to work on the PS1 as well, Mark Cerny actually said this demo was one of the main reasons why Crash Bandicoot was developed for the PS1
Thats because they push all the psx power to just one model. If they were backgrounds, lighting, vegetation and a character then this t-rex would look like the one on tomb raider 1.
Same here, I also thought the same thing when Gran Turismo 1 came out..."Wow, these are photo realistic graphics! We've reached the pinnacle of graphics on consoles!" lol.
no cap tho seeing this in astros playroom made me go “so this is how PlayStation came to be” then the phase 2 *wait for it* RT reX 😂 I was like “OH MY GOD WHAT THE- HUUH- RTX DINO?”
A lot of this is just good art, though. Ps1 can do a few K polys, and a trex made of 2-5k would look better than this, as that's literal sixth gen console quality. Its likely a few hundred polys.
I guess me too because I can remember being alone in the room with the ps1 of my brother and this came up I was so terrified I think I plugged the PS1 out and ran away or something like that😂
I can understand saying that for something like rap, and you can have your opinion. But I feel anything you could get from 90s video games you could find better after or during the 2000s
I was 6 when we got the first Playstation... This thing was so scary to me back then, I couldn't start it up unless my older sister was with me, it was the music and the blackness around the dino that made it for me. I still feel the chill in my spine as I did 15 years ago... Childhood awesomeness! Unfortunately I've lost the original demo disc :(
Had exactly the same with my twin brother.. couldn play it without him. I remember reading your comment 10 years ago.. how time flies.. we are getting old my friend
I remember being amazed at this on the screen with my new PS1, Christmas day evening, 1995. I used to get my games from a mail order magazine. I'd get the Playstation magazine for the demo discs on the front as well. Damn, they were good times.
I was sat wondering to myself if this looked as good I remembered. I had my doubts but I’m actually impressed. Older game designers seemed to be able to get a lot more out of smaller machines than the modern guys
@@CeleryMan666 That's true, but if you look at the Final Fantasy games or Zelda games at the time - they were able to cram a lot in for the size. I think restrictions encourage creativity sometimes. Worth checking out Gamehut on here
@@joshcollins9125 Sometimes aesthetic can help make those games look better and age better. I do agree about restriction, that's why game jams and the pico 8 console are so popular.
To have heard the music as a 8 year old in 1997 and be legit freaked out......this was one of those embrace the darkness/embrace your shadow moments.......then in 2016 when I started watching Naruto Shippuden and came across orichimarus lair with Sasuke in it........suddenly I was completely transported back to this dark experience......at times the music still makes my hair rise with goosebumps
I remember myself and my mate being absolutely blown away by this demo some time back in the mid-1990s. His parents bought him a PS for Christmas, and one day they were gone out and he knew where they'd hidden all the Xmas presents, he took it and set it up and we had a quick play with it before putting it away again.
This got into my recommendations and I got flooded with nostalgia. I only had two games and some demo discs and on one of those was this T-Rex. I loved it. The music is so simple yet great.
Fredbear Animates how is it not a spoiler. The whole point of this game is to have a nostalgia trip. From 1994 till 2020. Ps icons between that time are shown in the game. When you see some icons ingame it gives you a nice suprise feeling and a nostalgia trip. For you telling us that the Tech Dino is also ingame that magical moment is now gone bc it can not suprise you know. So yeah in my opinion a Spoiler bc its one of the least characters you would suspect to be in the game.
Ngl i kinda feel bad for him he spent 26 years to come fighting a small robot just to end up losing the fight and having both of his eyes highly damaged at the end of the fight
Damn. In the late 90s sometime, here in Turkey, I remember seing this at a video games store. It was at a southern, coastal resort town, but still terrified me. Part of that vibe is the forrboding music I think.
Reminds me of the new year 91 zebra thing on Amiga. The one that has the cool music with the people aiming the guns and the thunder, and retcha sketch included on the disk.
Even though you could just turn the camera and make it open the mouth, show teeth and turn head, i spent more hours with this than in many modern games
Ps1 scph 5502 almıştım bahar aylarında 1997 senesinde.. bu demo diski yaninda vardı ve manta ve bunun muziklerini dinlemek için giriyordum ve yalan olmasin dinazor beni ürpertiyordu ozellikle müziği.. cok güzel zamanlarmış..😢
Its always strange seeing thing like this that may look dated now but were impressive at the time, be it this or the Money for Nothing video; it really puts how far technology has come into perspective
Appariantly. This was the original tech demo Ken Kutaragi used to showcased the power of the PlayStation, thus making this T-Rex the first EVER PlayStation character.
It took him 30 years but it was worth it. I never knew that this tech demo existed but I was born in the early 2000s so I grew up on the PS2 and the PS3. Never played games on the PS1 but I would like to.
I CANT BELIEVE IT! RUclips just randomly recommended this but when I was a child I "played" this I didn't know what a demo was so I waited like 30 min. for something to happen. And this shit just got randomly recommended hahahaha that's the best recommendation ever!
Legend has it he's walking toward a little robot on a platform.
just playing it right now. Showed my little son what he is replaying in astrobot.......
Yes astro playroom
Me when he comes and opens his mouth to shoot disks at me: **throws a grenade in his mouth**
That rexy is the embodiment of commitment. Hunting a little robot for 29 years.
And then vibri notices there is robots and a rocket
Everyone is going to flood this with Astro's Playroom comments now
yes! i edited my comment because i don't wanna spoil,you know it!
i didn't know about this until astro lol
YEP!
That's why I am here :)

I spent an unnecessary amount of time on this as a kid. I loved it.
Same 😂 always waiting to see if something was going to happen, at that age not really understanding what a tech demo was. And the music was so eeerie
Same here!
I remember using a microphone at my brothers stereo and made the dino talk. Hilarious!
Honestly, what child with no previous experience of 3D wouldn't?
It's fascinating. I mean... It can open its mouth! 😮
Same! Brings me right back 😁
A hole lot of years later, he came back for a return in Astro’s Playroom.
So what's the deal, what context does he appear in in Astro's Playroom? I keep seeing comments about it and I'm dying to know
He’s the boss at the end.
@@apictureoffunction spoilers!
He's the final boss level
You never heard anything about spoilers I assume.
That was where he was heading from the beginning...
Come to think about it, this was damn impressive for that era...

My 6 years old brain:
"how do i unlock the full game? "
When I was 6 I even searched google to how to make demo game to full version 😂😂😂😂 lol myself
I was the same back then. It was just too cool, I wanted to play this "game" so badly.
Like how I wanted to find out how to play the maze game on my PC
@@Kiran-kz2ku yeah right, when were you 6? Google wasn't even popular til around 03
you play dino crisis
I still remember saying "OHHH IT LOOKS SO REAL!" And "GRAPHICS AINT GETTING BETTER THAN THIS!" 😅
After playing astro playroom, PS1 look scarier than PS5 versions lol
Same here, I also thought the same thing when Gran Turismo 1 came out..."Wow, these are photo realistic graphics! We've reached the pinnacle of graphics on consoles!" lol.
It doesn’t look real at all 💀💀💀
*astro’s playroom has left the chat*
no cap tho seeing this in astros playroom made me go “so this is how PlayStation came to be” then the phase 2 *wait for it* RT reX 😂 I was like “OH MY GOD WHAT THE- HUUH- RTX DINO?”
This looks really impressive for Ps1 actually, but the only reason it can look so detailed is because it's the only thing on screen.
don't forget that emulator can improve quality of images. ;)
But it wasnt actually far from what the games were back in the day.
A lot of this is just good art, though. Ps1 can do a few K polys, and a trex made of 2-5k would look better than this, as that's literal sixth gen console quality. Its likely a few hundred polys.
In Dino Crisis they managed to make a T-Rex as good as this during gameplay
@@sebastiankulche not actuqlly
This was the beginning of something amazing. And playing Astrobot on PS5, the ending blew my mind, PlayStation history all wrapped up:)
Imagine all you’d ever seen in video games were 2d sprites. This must’ve been freaking crazy impressive.
I don't know. Seen star fox playing on someone's SNES in 1993. Still this looks impressive.
It was! It blew my tiny mind haha
is used to be terrified of this as a kid
Me too, just found it after 20 years of it haunting my dreams.
@@everythingapocalypse6045 which demo is this one?
@@sanzaro I can't remember, sorry. It was 20 + years ago.

I loved this as a kid. I never understood that it's just a demo. For me it was an awesome game.
PS1 T-REX. Very groundbreaking. He deserves his own game
Sherbet_Bomb i think this t rex is from tomb rider or something
4 years later edit: why did i think its from tr lol
@@XTX767RT nooo
This same model was used in the game Dino Crisis. So he sort of got his own game.
T-Rex from Dino Crisis.
@@XTX767RT it's a different model
I always say the 90s were the golden age for gaming. I am proud to be a 90s kid.
lol i wish i was born 5 years earlier
Same! I was born in 1992, and couldn't be more proud!
Yes I came back for you Dinosaur.. You blew my mind then, and you still amaze me to this day.
I can understand saying that for something like rap, and you can have your opinion. But I feel anything you could get from 90s video games you could find better after or during the 2000s
I feel like a lot of kids couldn't appreciate how impressive this was on account of the nightmares it gave them.
Imagine being scared of a dinosaur 💀💀💀
@@ilyadratutin6385 Imagine being a child with 6 million years of evolutionary predisposition compelling you to be afraid of large carnivores.

Lucky I found it
Everyones talking about the graphics but none about how much this music fucking VIBES
Dino crisis style
Harry Callaghan did a track for "Portal Stories: Mel", called "Interfacing". Sounds like a different rendition of the music in this demo
back when times were simple..
And fun
Compared to 2020, times were simple when you wrote this comment.
You have no fucking idea...
To me times are still simple :)

I mean if your machine is used just to render one dino then it's a great tech demo but that's a far cry from having an actual game.
@@CeleryMan666 That's true, but if you look at the Final Fantasy games or Zelda games at the time - they were able to cram a lot in for the size. I think restrictions encourage creativity sometimes. Worth checking out Gamehut on here

Oh fuck...
Travy Patty?
Mvg?
So you don’t get fined
My childhood! It's here!
Man, demo discs had good music back in the day.
some years later, he is fighting with a robot
To have heard the music as a 8 year old in 1997 and be legit freaked out......this was one of those embrace the darkness/embrace your shadow moments.......then in 2016 when I started watching Naruto Shippuden and came across orichimarus lair with Sasuke in it........suddenly I was completely transported back to this dark experience......at times the music still makes my hair rise with goosebumps
This dude became a Playstation app trophy
I like it how he's constantly in motion, so you won't notice the wiggling textures
jesus this is so indescribably 90s, every single thing about it
This haunted my dreams for the past 20 years.
somehow this demo always freaks me out
I still remeber being amazed when i saw this demo for the first tine .... we have gone a long way since then 😂
It looks like s/he's walking with a shopping cart.
I’ve got to say, I *love* the music in the background.
Whenever I play Dino Crisis, I'm always reminded of this tech demo.
I remember myself and my mate being absolutely blown away by this demo some time back in the mid-1990s. His parents bought him a PS for Christmas, and one day they were gone out and he knew where they'd hidden all the Xmas presents, he took it and set it up and we had a quick play with it before putting it away again.
When I first saw this demo wayyyy back in the day, I could only dream that we had this level of graphics consistently throughout an entire game lol
Who's here straight from PS5?
Yee
me
Me
Every one!
Me and i was Like this bitch is the Endboss? Fuck no.
brings back so many memories.. the music is great too :D
Man this takes me back. This music always stayed with me. Thanks for the upload.
Damn when I saw this in Astro I didn’t think there was anyways ps5 could run this that’s so awesome
Ladies and gentle men, the longest boss fight build-up in playstation history!
Literally. It took 30 years for this T-Rex and this tiny bot named Astro to battle😆
Here after finishing Astro's Playroom
I couldn't believe this was referenced in astro's playroom. Such a great idea. So much nostalgia. Loved Astro's Playroom.
This got into my recommendations and I got flooded with nostalgia. I only had two games and some demo discs and on one of those was this T-Rex. I loved it. The music is so simple yet great.
The graphics were insane back then and they STILL ARE.
I had the demo as a kid. The graphics were astonishing for the time

I think another reason is just the black, endless abyss. Something about it is creepy, especially with the horrific music and realistic trex
I had this exact demo disk! I haven't heard this music in over 20 years! wow
when i was kid, I was a little scared when i see him, but when i see her smile, i smilling too XD
so true
"The graphics, thats you know, thats what its really all about"
I platinumed astro's playroom in a day, and this was probably the hardest part.
Bro same
That sounds epic
He was finally laid to rest by his 5th reincarnation.
Jurassic park and Dino Crisis do a great job capturing the appearance of Tyrannosaurus. Great video.
Yep, here after the playroom lol
Now we have the Apple Vison Pro dinosaur demo. Cant wait to see where technology takes us in another 30 years
I’m sure I played the arcade version of this at a kids play area when I was around 4-5 ish (so 2004). Nostalgia!
and from here everything started...
When this dinasoar has appeared at ASTRO'S PLAYROOM. just stunned!
That menu music makes me feel i'm on an after with some speed in my body. 90's feels
Reminds me of the new year 91 zebra thing on Amiga. The one that has the cool music with the people aiming the guns and the thunder, and retcha sketch included on the disk.

My mom presented me PlayStation on 1996 New Year Eve. I was awed.
Da fühlt man sich direkt in die 90er zurück versetzt 🥰 das erste mal playstation angemacht und die demo ausprobiert.. man war man geflasht 🥰
The Z-fighting is glorious
Super realistic. Graphics will never get better than this.
i love the music in this clip
This was basically my first horror movie as a kid
I'm here because of Astro's Playroom. 😁

Man, even down to the song in Astro's. So good.

Appariantly. This was the original tech demo Ken Kutaragi used to showcased the power of the PlayStation, thus making this T-Rex the first EVER PlayStation character.
The sound effects in the menu take me back.
i love this music !
When I was a kid when it opened its mouth I used to make silly conversations like it was talking 🤣🤣🤣
And the circle has been closed and now we know all this time he was running towards astro.
It took him 30 years but it was worth it. I never knew that this tech demo existed but I was born in the early 2000s so I grew up on the PS2 and the PS3. Never played games on the PS1 but I would like to.
Nintendo 64/ Sega Saturn: "Nooooo, We we're supose to win this generation"

It’s the guy from Astro’s Playroom
SICK, MAN! WOW, SO INNOVATIVE! Can't wait for 1998!
haha the memories. I thought this looked real when i was a kid
After this video played,EVERY game studio wanted to work with sony. Such a great legend
Astro got in tech demo
I CANT BELIEVE IT! RUclips just randomly recommended this but when I was a child I "played" this I didn't know what a demo was so I waited like 30 min. for something to happen. And this shit just got randomly recommended hahahaha that's the best recommendation ever!
