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.
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 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
16:11 Weird bias, especially not even mentioning how the N64 controller, although a bit odd in design, revolutionized analog control in 3D console gaming, which playstation absolutely struggled with in every way, and the playstation didn't release a copy of it with rumble until far later even after the N64 revolutionized rumble feedback in consoles with the rumble pack.
The N64 came in 1996, PlayStation and Saturn got sticks added in 1997. It doesn't matter if the PlayStation came first, it got sticks last, with Saturn 3D pad coming just months before Sony released the Dualshock.

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 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.
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.
Playstation fans shouldn’t be happy about the current state of Xbox and they won’t realise this until they’re gone. A monopoly on the entire home console market would screw over both publishers and consumers and they could charge Apple prices for their consoles and games with no competition to stop them. They already tried this with the PS3 after the massive success of the PS2 when they tried to charge $599 for cheapest model which was alot back then and it made them lose market share to Xbox because a 360 at the time was like $299 and forced them to lower their prices eventually.
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 RUclips and the AVGN.
As a long time Xbox user who moved over to PS recently, the answer is they offered more innovation and beneficial options. This doesnt mean they or the other 2 are flawless, but PS still offered many important factors that Xbox was axing like offline-use and complete 1st party games on disc, plus some unique games like Deep Rock Galactic only had PS5 physicals so no brainer. Xbox really poked their own wheel spoke and dont even know what to blame.
December 3rd 2024 marks 30 years of PlayStation! Sony may have shook up the market with the release of the Playstation but never forget that Nintendo saved the gaming industry from a complete meltdown in 1983 when they released the NES in the USA in 1985.
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.
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
I respect the 360, it helped PlayStation finally get it’s online gaming together.. But damn Xbox, now you need to follow PSs lead and get it back together
Something Austin misses with Nintendo's decision to not go with Sony's CD-ROMs was more directly because they wouldn't have made as much money. On the NES and SNES consoles, third parties had to buy the cartridges from Nintendo, meaning Nintendo made money on the carts directly. With Sony producing the CD-ROMs instead, Nintendo would miss out on this (rather large) revenue stream. This decision was also kept in place for the Nintendo 64 which is why it also used cartridges. It wasn't until Nintendo was able to partner with Matsushita to produce Gamecube discs that had to be licensed through Nintendo--i.e. if you were a third party who wanted to make games on the Gamecube, you had to buy the discs through Nintendo who then had Matsushita produce them. This was all Yamauchi's business decisions.
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.
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.
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 😂
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
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
It took the PlayStation 2 to get me away from Sega but they lost me when the Xbox 360 came out as many times as I have tried to come back to Sony I don't understand the draw to them anymore.
I remember Nintendo fanboys saying, no they would never do that (insert anti-consumer practice here). But if they think about it ever since back then Nintendo undermined everyone they worked with why not do that to their consumers either. I'll be honest Sony isn't perfect either, but their anti consumerism isn't as bad as the other competitors yet, but they're getting there.
You mean the deal Nintendo backed out of? Austin explains it fairly well. Although he does throw in some speculation, it was a terrible deal for Nintendo. Where they essentially gave their brand and IP for free. Nintendo were right for backing out, and Sony were right to do their own thing. As consumers this was the best in the end.
Yeah it had a good outcome, but in any deal setting if they made a deal. Especially if it's a corpo deal whoever backs out on the last minute is a douche. That's just how it is.
@@hill2hell We don't know those details, though. Sony and Nintendo may very well have not had anything on paper and Sony being the larger corporation announced it to further strongarm Nintendo. Makes more sense than Nintendo magically having the power to void Sony's contract. (But is just as speculative)
Even if it's not the deal they had with Sony, just in their in general. They've always been "I changed my mind, you can't have this anymore". From their business partners to their consumers, and it's been showing for decades.
@@hill2hell I think you can say that about every tech-related company ever. Sony is yet to port most of their PSVR library to PSVR2, they charge for most PS5 upgrades, they're reselling all the PS1, PS2 and PSP Classics they already sold on the PS3 generation. They haven't implemented any kind of physical backwards compatibility akin to Xbox's. Not crapping on Sony, just pointing out they're the exact same.
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.
*PS1 and N64 had like 5 or 6 years advantage in the 90s before Xbox came out. Also back then, rummage/garage sales, flea markets were highly abundant and prices were extremely cheap, so a lot of people who couldn't afford either when new, could find one cheap second hand back then. Nostalgia, games being worth lots of money..etc.. weren't much of a thing back then, so people didn't really think twice to sell their console/games for cheap. Basically, all I'm saying is PS had a huuuuuge start before Microsoft and it greatly helped. The games were good, were super cheap to get, you had rental places that were abundant..etc.. and when Microsoft came around, alot of that was changing, Fast.*
Let us not mention how easy it was to pirate games and play them on Playstation's that were out of warranty and prone to disk swapping if you had the skills of a DJ, but especially chipping. That pushed back the competition who relied on high value after sales royalties. Sony took a hit to take a place. The N64 was a brilliant console with some excellent games that i did not care about, so i have never played Goldeneye. I did play Thrill Kill on PS1 and it was unlike anything anyone would dare to publish today.
Unless you were there, you really won't understand just how much the PlayStation changed gaming. It's impact on gaming and pop culture was huge. Console gaming had been more or less the same for years and when the PlayStation dropped, everything changed. Gaming "matured" and it started to be seen as something that wasn't just for kids Plus, there were so many different types of games, literally something for every taste. That carried over even moreso with the PlayStation 2. Imo, the Ps2 is the greatest console of all time. It was a true multimedia device and had just a slew of great games that still resonate to this day. I'm glad that Nintendo's paranoia caused them to betray Sony. It was the best thing for gaming that ever could've happened.
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.
Sony would be so much better if they would hire more English speakers to do their scripts for their games instead of just translating. It’s always so awkward.
As a child, the N64 was my console of choice for this generation. As an adult, I much prefer the Saturn. The Playstation though? It exists. I like it. I like it more than the PS2 at any rate. It doesn't feel like the Playstation's rampant success held its competition back the way the PS2 does.
regardless of what Sony do in the gaming industry they are still the company that destroyed Lik Sang for just importing PSP’s something even Nintendo has not done.
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.
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.
No need to debate over gaming consoles when one pc is two times better than any modern console for $500. For example a combo of a Ryzen 5 3600 and an Rx 5700 xt that is a gaming masterpiece
I remember when my brother brought home a PlayStation. It was amazing! Sure in retrospect they have that aweful ps1 noisy texture look, but it was a HUGE jump in the home console market. And it held on for YEARS! Games were affordable and there were TONS of them. Granted there were an insane amount of terrible games, but the catalog was big enough to really push things and evolve from Tekken 1 to Tekken 3. And I think the THPS franchise single handedly gave years of extra life to the console and likely helped sell THOUSANDS more PS1’s than they would have.
Kudos to the PlayStation! Taking advantage of Nintendo using cartridges, Xbox reducing its exclusives, and Sega going on a downward spiral since Saturn (although I miss the Dreamcast so much!), it made mostly the right moves! I wish all 3 big names in console gaming to do well. We need competition!
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough you mean 2. xbox and ps are same hardware and are coming togheter this year with microsoft releasing games on the ps5. and then you have nintendo wich everyone also owns even if they have a xbox,ps or pc, just because the games from nintendo are so different then what evryone else have and they are great
Don't forget - Sony planning for the long game: sell the hardware at a loss, knowing that the real money is in the software. A case study lesson still taught in B-schools around the world.
Nintendo actually ditched Sony because Nintendo wanted the PlayStation to be an add on to the SNES and Sony wanted an all in one system. Nintendo wanted to have most of the rights over the PlayStation but Sony wanted to create a proprietary disk called the Super Disc that they had all rights over. Essentially, Sony wanted Nintendo to have rights and control only over the SNES and they would have the rights and controls over the PlayStation. Nintendo didn’t like this idea, probably because they wanted to make new games/expansions for the PlayStation rather then just new Sony games that had nothing to do with Nintendo IPs.
I see a lot of people confuse saying "Nintendo is winning, not PS!" During the PS1/N64/Sega Saturn....the winner was PS1. During the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox/Dreamcast..... the winner by landslide was PS2 and this was the era that Sega as console making died for making a lot of very bad money making decision to this point. During PS3/Wii/360...... this was tight competition because this was the era PS3 shoot themselves in the foot for being very overconfident at the start especially the OG price of PS3, you can say Wii won on sells but software was...weird? During PS4/Wii U/Xbox One....... PS4 since other 2 made bad decision. Xbox One fall started even before release for being very anti-consumer when they announce it. Current generation? .......Switch but right now Nintendo feels is its own lane because their hardware is not meant to play on TV, more portable focus. so between PS5 vs Xbox-Series....PS5 is "winning", it is probably their worst generation to the point exclusives PS5 games doesn't sell that high because people still using PS4 and/or PC and/or Switch for its portability. If anything I am mistake, you can reply!
PlayStation will always win on sales,they sell their consoles in more than 20 more countries than Microsoft. That's what made the 360 console so impressive in beating the ps3
THAT'S ANOTHER THING I NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DO IS HAVE THE STARTUP OF THE NUMBER ONE GAME CONSOLE.. AND I MUST SAY THE PLAYSTATION ONE HAVE THAT NUMBER ONE STARTUP

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.

You know i was waiting for the ps2 part and the video ended🥹
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.
I think the real winner was the friends we made along the way
Can't wait for the next video
why was the PlayStation one disc that weird purple color?
It was a form of copyright protection and was the only colour discs you could use in an original PS that wasn’t modded.
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.

I remember Nintendo fanboys saying, no they would never do that (insert anti-consumer practice here). But if they think about it ever since back then Nintendo undermined everyone they worked with why not do that to their consumers either. I'll be honest Sony isn't perfect either, but their anti consumerism isn't as bad as the other competitors yet, but they're getting there.
You mean the deal Nintendo backed out of?
Austin explains it fairly well. Although he does throw in some speculation, it was a terrible deal for Nintendo. Where they essentially gave their brand and IP for free.
Nintendo were right for backing out, and Sony were right to do their own thing. As consumers this was the best in the end.
Yeah it had a good outcome, but in any deal setting if they made a deal. Especially if it's a corpo deal whoever backs out on the last minute is a douche. That's just how it is.
@@hill2hell We don't know those details, though. Sony and Nintendo may very well have not had anything on paper and Sony being the larger corporation announced it to further strongarm Nintendo. Makes more sense than Nintendo magically having the power to void Sony's contract. (But is just as speculative)
Even if it's not the deal they had with Sony, just in their in general. They've always been "I changed my mind, you can't have this anymore". From their business partners to their consumers, and it's been showing for decades.
@@hill2hell I think you can say that about every tech-related company ever. Sony is yet to port most of their PSVR library to PSVR2, they charge for most PS5 upgrades, they're reselling all the PS1, PS2 and PSP Classics they already sold on the PS3 generation. They haven't implemented any kind of physical backwards compatibility akin to Xbox's.
Not crapping on Sony, just pointing out they're the exact same.
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.
I was a 100% PlayStation kid when I was young and I really want to see this series continue
*PS1 and N64 had like 5 or 6 years advantage in the 90s before Xbox came out. Also back then, rummage/garage sales, flea markets were highly abundant and prices were extremely cheap, so a lot of people who couldn't afford either when new, could find one cheap second hand back then. Nostalgia, games being worth lots of money..etc.. weren't much of a thing back then, so people didn't really think twice to sell their console/games for cheap. Basically, all I'm saying is PS had a huuuuuge start before Microsoft and it greatly helped. The games were good, were super cheap to get, you had rental places that were abundant..etc.. and when Microsoft came around, alot of that was changing, Fast.*
Let us not mention how easy it was to pirate games and play them on Playstation's that were out of warranty and prone to disk swapping if you had the skills of a DJ, but especially chipping. That pushed back the competition who relied on high value after sales royalties. Sony took a hit to take a place. The N64 was a brilliant console with some excellent games that i did not care about, so i have never played Goldeneye. I did play Thrill Kill on PS1 and it was unlike anything anyone would dare to publish today.
Unless you were there, you really won't understand just how much the PlayStation changed gaming.
It's impact on gaming and pop culture was huge. Console gaming had been more or less the same for years and when the PlayStation dropped, everything changed.
Gaming "matured" and it started to be seen as something that wasn't just for kids Plus, there were so many different types of games, literally something for every taste. That carried over even moreso with the PlayStation 2.
Imo, the Ps2 is the greatest console of all time. It was a true multimedia device and had just a slew of great games that still resonate to this day.
I'm glad that Nintendo's paranoia caused them to betray Sony. It was the best thing for gaming that ever could've happened.
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.
Sony would be so much better if they would hire more English speakers to do their scripts for their games instead of just translating. It’s always so awkward.
I like these vids but you forgot both the Playstation 1 Net Yaroze and talking about the pallet port being removed and how fast Modchips came for it
As a child, the N64 was my console of choice for this generation. As an adult, I much prefer the Saturn. The Playstation though? It exists. I like it. I like it more than the PS2 at any rate. It doesn't feel like the Playstation's rampant success held its competition back the way the PS2 does.
regardless of what Sony do in the gaming industry they are still the company that destroyed Lik Sang for just importing PSP’s something even Nintendo has not done.
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.
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.
Pc master race
are we at 2:46 completely ignoring the Master System?
Sony's dirt cheap stock price & low attach rate is DEFINITELY NOT a Win.
No need to debate over gaming consoles when one pc is two times better than any modern console for $500. For example a combo of a Ryzen 5 3600 and an Rx 5700 xt that is a gaming masterpiece
Edit give pc Spider-Man 2 please
I remember when my brother brought home a PlayStation. It was amazing! Sure in retrospect they have that aweful ps1 noisy texture look, but it was a HUGE jump in the home console market. And it held on for YEARS! Games were affordable and there were TONS of them. Granted there were an insane amount of terrible games, but the catalog was big enough to really push things and evolve from Tekken 1 to Tekken 3. And I think the THPS franchise single handedly gave years of extra life to the console and likely helped sell THOUSANDS more PS1’s than they would have.
Still got my 1999 ps1 somewhere, thing still works.
0:09 thats ridge racer my dude
Kudos to the PlayStation! Taking advantage of Nintendo using cartridges, Xbox reducing its exclusives, and Sega going on a downward spiral since Saturn (although I miss the Dreamcast so much!), it made mostly the right moves!
I wish all 3 big names in console gaming to do well. We need competition!
You mean 4... Meta Quest who is 3rd place right now.
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough you mean 2. xbox and ps are same hardware and are coming togheter this year with microsoft releasing games on the ps5. and then you have nintendo wich everyone also owns even if they have a xbox,ps or pc, just because the games from nintendo are so different then what evryone else have and they are great
meta quest isnt a console. just because it can play some games it is still a pc accesoire
@@GreenBlueWalkthroughAt most you could argue it's a portable not a home console lol
@@allinadadsdayIt has exclusive games that it can play natively. How is that much different than a traditional "console"?
The reason for that weird artifact is the lack of z buffer that handle the depth of objects.
Don't forget - Sony planning for the long game: sell the hardware at a loss, knowing that the real money is in the software. A case study lesson still taught in B-schools around the world.
Nintendo actually ditched Sony because Nintendo wanted the PlayStation to be an add on to the SNES and Sony wanted an all in one system. Nintendo wanted to have most of the rights over the PlayStation but Sony wanted to create a proprietary disk called the Super Disc that they had all rights over. Essentially, Sony wanted Nintendo to have rights and control only over the SNES and they would have the rights and controls over the PlayStation. Nintendo didn’t like this idea, probably because they wanted to make new games/expansions for the PlayStation rather then just new Sony games that had nothing to do with Nintendo IPs.
I see a lot of people confuse saying "Nintendo is winning, not PS!"
During the PS1/N64/Sega Saturn....the winner was PS1.
During the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox/Dreamcast..... the winner by landslide was PS2 and this was the era that Sega as console making died for making a lot of very bad money making decision to this point.
During PS3/Wii/360...... this was tight competition because this was the era PS3 shoot themselves in the foot for being very overconfident at the start especially the OG price of PS3, you can say Wii won on sells but software was...weird?
During PS4/Wii U/Xbox One....... PS4 since other 2 made bad decision. Xbox One fall started even before release for being very anti-consumer when they announce it.
Current generation? .......Switch but right now Nintendo feels is its own lane because their hardware is not meant to play on TV, more portable focus. so between PS5 vs Xbox-Series....PS5 is "winning", it is probably their worst generation to the point exclusives PS5 games doesn't sell that high because people still using PS4 and/or PC and/or Switch for its portability.
If anything I am mistake, you can reply!
PlayStation will always win on sales,they sell their consoles in more than 20 more countries than Microsoft. That's what made the 360 console so impressive in beating the ps3
THAT'S ANOTHER THING I NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DO IS HAVE THE STARTUP OF THE NUMBER ONE GAME CONSOLE.. AND I MUST SAY THE PLAYSTATION ONE HAVE THAT NUMBER ONE STARTUP
A video that isn’t just Austin unboxing “tech” from wish or temu? Am I in an alternate universe?
