[@dewmontain123]

For real the rear view mirror using your psp for the racing game is such an "above and beyond" move. Its really unique 👌

[@riothero313]

I knew pretty much all of the PS1 stuff. Another thing that isn't highly known is you could actually put some PS1 discs in a normal cd player and play the soundtracks.

[@M4R7YN]

This. Surprised he didn't even get a mention!

[@e_productions_official]

[@leelanzini]

PS Home was amazing! I loved that PS3 had free online. Also the PS Vita was so ahead of the game. It’s crazy that the PSVR sold 5M units and the PS Vita sold 15M units, yet they still made a PSVR2…

[@eckoking3106]

Honestly hoping they do some kind of reboot/redo of the PS Vita, it really was ahead of its time! Launched before the ps4 even came out... if it would've launched with the ps4 or even alongside the ps5 I think it would've done numbers easily❗️ just my opinion though

[@SeeDaRipper...]

@ Lee Lanzini, that's because they are always willing to push the ball.

[@Paccyd33]

The ps vita is a console and the vr is an accessory, what does this comment mean.

[@busbyboy77]

​@@Paccyd33, because they both have specific games.

[@NaturalSelection.]

Can't agree more.

[@Skylancer727]

The playstation pocket station wasn't only playstation's idea, it was actually inspired by the VMU which came out along side the Dreamcast in Japan. It was both brands banking on the tomagatchi phase Japan was going through. Both are memory cards that connect directly to the system. The main difference was for unsupported games on PS1 it did basically nothing, while on Dreamcast it displayed information of the game or little gags as it's on the controller making it easier to send secret messages and stuff to the player with one.

[@katiew5998]

That is sooo true

[@Skylancer727]

@@katiew5998 I don't blame people for not knowing about it. Most people had already written off the Dreamcast as the PS2 was known to be coming, was faster, and the PS1 was already the best selling system of its generation. Plus why put your faith in Sega after the Saturn was left to rot? No matter what Sega did, there was nothing they could do to save them from the pit they dug. Still kinda wish the hall effect sticks at least carried over to everyone else though...

[@vicentesalasii1480]

"Tamagotchi" but yeah, I gotcha 👍🏽

[@kevinb4713]

The meaning of the "cross" and "circle" buttons were actually the opposite of the "western" ideal. The original Japanese design was intended to be circle as confirm and cross as deny. Certain PS1 games even have the singular option of swapping just those two buttons in the control options. I remember Final Fantasy VII was definitely one of those games but I can't remember what others did the same

[@xvgm24]

Indeed. Generally the meaning of the circle symbol is "yes/correct" and the cross "no/incorrect".

[@McNasty43]

Thank you for pointing this out. IIRC even the first Metal Gear Solid game had this setup.

[@garmzai]

I remember playing games on PS1 during childhood, Japanese games usually have O as confirm and X as cancel, while western games usually have X as confirm, while having O and sometimes triangle as the cancel button

[@rubicon24]

exactly this. this O (maru) and X (batsu) meaning in Japanese is also seen in emojis. 🙆O 🙅X

[@veryperson1]

my PS4 pro was manufactured in japan and the factoory settings actually came with circle being confirm and cross as deny and the option to make circle the confirm button in the settings menu is replaced with the cross instead

[@proxyhx2075]

You can still use it for remote play, I played gang beasts on my friends PS4 with it. He didn't have a spare controller so it came in clutch. Gosh I love the Vita!

[@SmauugKamui]

The vita had the potential to be something great, its such a shame that sony decided to abandon it as quickly as they did. After installing CFW on my vita its still one of my favorite handhelds ever made and I've owned consoles from the OG gameboy to the steam deck.

[@linsetv]

Yeah also the rear view mirror thing with the psp reminded me of the integration the Vita tried with the PS4. Like Remoteplay and stuff

[@EVILBUNNY28]

Can’t believe there was no mention for Sackboy as Sony’s mascot. Had Media Molecule kept on as developer for the 3rd instalment, as well as the Big Adventure spinoff then Sackboy be certainly iconic and recognisable. Also Jak from the Jak and Daxter series is another hot contender

[@KushalChachan]

Here is a list of things that the video talks about: Strange features of the original PlayStation, such as the ability to keep playing games even if the disc is removed and the ability to change game background music with a music CD The meanings behind the shapes of the PlayStation controller buttons and why Sony chose shapes instead of letters The history of the PlayStation and how it originated from a collaboration between Sony and Nintendo that ultimately fell apart The design of the PlayStation controller and how it was inspired by an airplane yoke Sony's aggressive marketing campaign against Sega in the 90s, particularly with the creation of the mascot Crash Bandicoot The success of the PlayStation 2, which was only discontinued in 2013, and its unexpected support for Netflix and Linux The best-selling games on each PlayStation console, including Gran Turismo on PS1, GTA San Andreas on PS2, and GTA 5 on PS3 and PS4 The most downloaded games on the PS5 in its first year, including Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, FIFA, and NBA Interesting features and failed products of the PlayStation, including the gyro sensor on the PS3 controller, using a PSP as a rearview mirror in a PS3 racing game, and the failed PlayStation Vue online video streaming service.

[@Antelieris1]

0:44 This is factually incorrect. First off, the X button is not universally used to confirm, nor is the O button universally used to deny. In Japan, where the Playstation was created, it's the opposite, and THAT was the original intention. When localizing the game to the west, most companies opt to swap the functions of the two automatically because we prefer the bottom button to be a confirmation and the right button to be a denial, but there are cases where they either forget or just didn't care to and left the control scheme the same as it is in Japan. Either way, the reason behind the X (or "cross," as they call it) is because an X is a pretty universal symbol for "no," and the reason behind the O is because a circle is a slightly less universal (but extremely common in Japan) symbol for "yes."

[@Brealiq]

How could you forget about Sackboy from Little Big Planet? That's for me one of the most iconic characters from the PlayStation.
