because many of the techniques he used still isn't used today and probably has had these things picked at by even modern game developers today, trying to fit huge levels into small RAM spaces, like Minecraft still has issues with not letting go of some of the levels with it's cache, they treat it always as "just in case they come back this way" this game basically NEEDED the disk and he used API that he created, he created framework that Playstation never bothered to make

If I drop you from great heights, will you land on your paws ? Do you lick yourself from head to toe? For a tamed animal, you have the bite of a venomous wild snake ! Identity crisis maybe? I know, why not use the photo of a snake from now on, it would suit you better!

Much of the stuff he just throws out there, off the cuff, are firsts in the industry, new ways of thinking about 3d at the time, and an intellectual property that helped to turn the PlayStation into a destination platform when it was new. Very impressive. He was able to take many different ideas, and synthesize them into finished products using a difficult medium.

I bought a PS4 (never had a PS3), and the first game I played was The Last of Us Remastered. I was blown away. Next I played Horizon Zero Dawn, a game a generation younger than TLoU, and it just didn't look as good. Yes, TLoU was remastered, but its basis is still PS3-era hardware, and it looked better than a game designed for PS4 hardware.

There's a series of articles by Andy Gavin called "Making Crash Bandicoot" (which I coincidentally just read again immediately before this video was uploaded), which goes into more detail on a lot of the topics addressed in this video, and more. One humorous excerpt relevant to your comment is as follows: Andy had given [Sony employee] Kelly a rough idea of how we were getting so much detail through the system: spooling. Kelly asked Andy if he understood correctly that any move forward or backward in a level entailed loading in new data, a CD “hit.” Andy proudly stated that indeed it did. Kelly asked how many of these CD hits Andy thought a gamer that finished Crash would have. Andy did some thinking and off the top of his head said “Roughly 120,000.” Kelly became very silent for a moment and then quietly mumbled “the PlayStation CD drive is ‘rated’ for 70,000.” Kelly thought some more and said “let’s not mention that to anyone” and went back to get Sony on board with Crash.

Like first thing that comes to my mind is you can halve the resolution of the dimension - i.e. there is no real difference if a vertice moves 1 or 2 small units between frames if the animation is very expressive, so that saves you 1b per dimension per vertex already. Then I guess you could estimate (or actually check) what is your max value that you'll need and adjust the size of cell to that. And maybe some bit compression if it actually pays off and presto

When he heard the answer was disc reads, he asked them how many disc reads it was taking. After they answered, it was realized that the one single game was using 3x more disc reads than the CD-drive was rated to make. Basically, you'd kill 2-3 disc drives just to finish the one game. XD

So if the expected life span was 10 years, which I think is quite plausible, *only* playing CB would kill the drive in 4 years.

Some of my best memories are playing crash with my mom, and waking up in the middle of the night beside her in bed, and drifting back off to tomb raider. I remember going to the sony store to get the PS1 like it was yesterday. What a trip down memory lane. And i have to agree, older games just have something special about them. all the games now just seem like half assed copies of copies of copies. Wish there were people as dedicated as Andy in the industry these days.

And GOOL, to the best of my knowledge, was being used even into the Jak and Daxter series.

This is Angus Guschwan, I posted this on their blog all-things-andy-gavin.com/2011/02/02/making-crash-bandicoot-part-1/#disqus_thread At first, access to hardware diagrams and libraries WAS prohibited for developers. I was the main US technical support engineer. So then I intervened and access to libraries and hardware was official policy after that. Other developers could get access to it if they needed it but most were not at the sophisticated level that ND was at. Here is the rest of the story of how it became official policy to go around the libraries: Just to add to the history and respond to this: "Hitting the hardware directly was against the rules. But by the time Sony saw the results they needed a Mario killer. It was too late for them to complain" I was working as software engineer for Sony USA and had come from Apple computer having worked on QuickTime and graphics. At Apple in 1992, I wrote an article (vintageapple.org/develop/pdf/develop-11_9208_August_1992.pdf ) with Brigham Stevens about how to go around the operating system to hit the hardware. Apple was resistant but I compromised by writing 3 pages of don't do it and 3 pages of here's how to do it. So when I came to Sony I knew that was the way (of the warrior, so to speak). When Playstation was coming up to launch at E3, I was frustrated with Sony's same resistant attitude. So, in a sort of protest, I worked on a ROM embedded music visual simulator with Burt Sloane. Kutaragi-san found out and was pissed at me because I was working with Burt instead of with developers. So I wrote him an email titled "E3 won't be ruined by Angus and the Blue Clouds." "Blue Clouds" was the project name and "Angus" was my Apple christened nickname. I outlined how Kutaragi-san had screwed up and made a list of demands: 1) access to source code 2) access to hardware 3) access to Japanese engineers 4) access to lsi logic engineers. I poetically and anaphorically ended each demand with "E3 won't be ruined by Angus and the Blue Clouds". Instead of getting fired, Kutaragi-san agreed to all of them, except for LSI Logic ( perhaps because it was such a hardware secret advantage at the time). So I got the source code and hardware diagrams and went to Naughty Dog (part of the reason I joined Sony was because I worked with ND at 3DO). All Andy and Dave said was "yup, it just confirms what we already figured out." After the success of launch I asked to work in Tokyo and surely did. My career there was more like "Lost in Translation" almost verbatim but when I did leave after a year, I saw my email pinned up in Kutaragi-san's booth as a blueprint. Certainly, Naughty Dog reversed engineered the PS1 but there were other Allied forces for the right way to make games working inside to validate them. In that I had fought the same fight at Apple to go around the OS, Apple influenced the launch of the PS1.

@@billguschwan4112 When I worked on Time Commando (also released in 1996) we had similar discussions with Sony (SCEE), and the same "you should not hit the hardware directly" with the reason being that "it could change, and then your code would not work anymore". We pointed out that would have made sense if the Sony libraries were actually in the console ROM instead of being linked in the executable on the CD, but that basically what we were doing was exactly replicating the actual hardware access, just bypassing the external API... and that if what we did was about to fail on new revisions, then the original Sony libraries would have failed as well :) In the end they gave us the authorization (verbal only, nothing written) and warned us about the upcoming hardware changes in the Rev B and C of the console (mostly debugged gouraud shading interpolation, and DMA transfer speed changes).

As a programmer myself, I love watching these. Back in the day we had to do all kinds of crazy things to make stuff work. One thing I had to do was when I was working on a music writing program. There was so many notes - and I didn't really have a good database for reading them. The notes that were farther down in the "page" were taking too long to read, because as it was set up - it had to read through all the previous notes in order to find the next note. So if you were on note 10,000, it had to read 9,999 notes just to get to #10,000. The solution I came up with was to use images to store the music. So for example pixel 0, 0 (top left) would have an RGB value. Each number could be between 0-255 so I could store data that way. The R value might contain the note's velocity, length, or position on the staff. When reading pixels on an image you can jump to any pixel you want without having to read all the others, so it turned out to be much faster than reading straight data. It also, surprisingly, made the file sizes much smaller. So music files were actually image files.
