1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,360
i've just bought every single
2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,880
playstation brand new we've got a tv
3
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,720
from the time of each one's release and
4
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,240
even the same game on all of them so
5
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,320
let's find out how much the gaming
6
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,160
experience has evolved over time it
7
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,080
might sound strange now but the original
8
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,560
playstation was actually a massive risk
9
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,439
for sony because put simply sony was a
10
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,600
nobody in 1994 the entire gaming market
11
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:23,359
was just two companies nintendo who hit
12
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,840
a home run with the creation of mario
13
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:27,439
and had about 40 market share and sega
14
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,519
who having created sonic their
15
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:32,079
equivalent to mario had taken the market
16
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:34,000
by storm to achieve a share of 55
17
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:35,840
both of these titans were fighting tooth
18
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,239
and nail to try and make their mascot
19
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,480
the greatest 2d platformer of all time
20
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:42,960
but sony realized something that now is
21
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:45,120
the perfect time for 3d yeah this is a
22
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,520
real sealed playstation 1 straight from
23
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,200
1994. and inside we've got the video
24
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,960
adapter in case your tv didn't have the
25
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,960
right connectors the ac adapter to plug
26
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,199
into the mains the controller which was
27
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,120
of course wired and the console
28
00:00:55,199 --> 00:00:59,280
hopefully it turns on this is ancient
29
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,359
equipment
30
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,840
that sound that's basically the sound of
31
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:05,199
a cathode ray gun shooting electrons at
32
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,280
the display panel that's actually why
33
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:09,200
they're called crt tvs power on the
34
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,960
original playstation
35
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,600
the buttons kind of want to experience
36
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:14,960
opening the disk drive
37
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,439
it's actually making me kind of sad that
38
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:20,080
modern technology has no moving parts
39
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:20,080
listen to this
40
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,920
[Music]
41
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,520
the controller is so light it kind of
42
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,280
feels like it's not even there and also
43
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,600
look at this no analog sticks there's
44
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,720
one thing sony smashed it's buttons this
45
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,119
is so nice now with only two megabytes
46
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,840
of ram a maximum resolution of 480p and
47
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:39,600
no internal storage the ps1 stats might
48
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,079
sound pitiful by modern standards i
49
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,240
literally had to amazon a 128 kilobyte
50
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:45,920
storage card for it which is a very
51
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,360
weird thing to do in 2022 but at the
52
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,158
time when it was released at today's
53
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,158
equivalent of 570 this was the most
54
00:01:50,158 --> 00:01:54,240
powerful console money could buy so this
55
00:01:52,158 --> 00:01:56,158
is gran turismo running on the ps1 and
56
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,079
if you compare it to nintendo or sega's
57
00:01:56,158 --> 00:02:00,079
supposed 3d offerings you'll quickly
58
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:02,560
notice that sony is the only one capable
59
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:04,960
of rendering real 3d models with real
60
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,640
reflections on the cars it looks insane
61
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,560
in comparison but wait till you see what
62
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,318
the next playstation can do sony also
63
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,480
realized that they couldn't just be more
64
00:02:10,318 --> 00:02:14,239
powerful their brand also had to be
65
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,920
different to nintendo and savers and
66
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:18,160
their way of doing that was swapping the
67
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:20,160
controller letters for shapes and it
68
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,079
wasn't because sony loved geometry the
69
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,920
shapes have significance for example the
70
00:02:22,079 --> 00:02:26,000
blue cross and the red circle they
71
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:27,920
represent yes and no which even now to
72
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,160
this day is still what they're used for
73
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,519
in games sony did also follow up the
74
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,599
original playstation with what's
75
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:34,959
referred to as the playstation slim but
76
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:36,720
if i'm being really honest we will be
77
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:39,200
here forever if we start on the
78
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,040
variations of each console so long story
79
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,720
short this company saw an opportunity
80
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,560
and they absolutely smashed it with the
81
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,560
first playstation they completely wiped
82
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,160
out sega for good and practically pulled
83
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,079
nintendo's pants down coming out of
84
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,720
nowhere with the ps1 becoming the first
85
00:02:50,079 --> 00:02:55,760
console ever to pass 100 million units
86
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,840
sold so how did sony top that
87
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,159
well only by releasing the best-selling
88
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,080
console in the history of consoles
89
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,959
sony's approach to the playstation 2
90
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,800
released in 2000 at about 485 dollars in
91
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:08,959
today's money so significantly cheaper
92
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,680
than the ps1 can be summed up with one
93
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:14,640
phrase if it ain't broke don't fix it
94
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,640
the ps2 is evolution not revolution and
95
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:18,239
the unboxing experience also mirrors
96
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:20,319
that philosophy you get an upgraded
97
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:22,400
controller as well as a similar ac cable
98
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:24,720
and tv adapter to last time oh this
99
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,879
brings back so many memories almost
100
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,400
everything about the ps2 is a direct
101
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:30,560
no-frills improvement over its
102
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,239
predecessor it comes with about 12 times
103
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,480
the amount of raw processing power
104
00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:37,040
depending on how you measure it 16 times
105
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,480
the amount of ram and no less than 63
106
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480
times the amount of storage on the
107
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,640
default memory card this had eight
108
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,840
megabytes remember back in the day
109
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,440
consoles didn't used to have these
110
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,680
enormous hard drives inside of them to
111
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,680
be able to install games onto the entire
112
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,920
game would be fit onto the game disc
113
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,760
itself and so the only extra storage you
114
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680
needed was just a memory card for your
115
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040
save files which you could then take out
116
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,720
and carry your saves to your friend's
117
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,799
house with so if we turn the ps2 on
118
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,640
ah
119
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:05,840
this is my childhood so there's an eject
120
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,920
button up here
121
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,840
that sounds amazing you can barely read
122
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,879
the actual text what these things are
123
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,720
that difference is crazy
124
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:16,798
the difference versus the ps1 is
125
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,880
absolutely night and day the processing
126
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:20,639
power allows it to render many times the
127
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,280
amount of polygons on screen which
128
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:24,800
reduces the blocky look of the ps1 error
129
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,800
and the extra ram allows for background
130
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,639
textures to just have way more going on
131
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,560
in them like even the finish line banner
132
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:32,800
it now blows about in the wind and the
133
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,560
master stroke with the ps2 was how sony
134
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,720
managed to through the design of the
135
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,040
console make it extremely clear that
136
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,400
this was a next-gen bitter kit there's
137
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,800
been a few consoles in the past like
138
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,479
nintendo's wii u that looks so similar
139
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,680
to their last gen counterparts that
140
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:46,960
people thought that they were just
141
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,360
add-ons
142
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,600
not here the ps2's design is far more
143
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,280
bulky and angular with this grill that
144
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,120
was really meant to evoke the feeling of
145
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,280
an engine something capable of real
146
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,280
power that combined with some of the
147
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:02,160
best games of the generation led the
148
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:05,600
playstation 2 to break every record ever
149
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,440
set selling 158 million units you had
150
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,440
nintendo's gamecube and microsoft's
151
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,039
original xbox also around at this time
152
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,120
but they didn't even sell a fifth as
153
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:15,039
much as the ps2 did and to keep up with
154
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,039
the increasing complexity of the games
155
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:18,800
sony also upgraded the controller with
156
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:20,720
something they called dualshock which is
157
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,479
a combination of dual analog sticks and
158
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,800
built-in rumble technology so you can
159
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:26,880
really feel the the texture of the grass
160
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,960
and if you're not a good driver like me
161
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,280
the texture of the wall sony wasn't
162
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,720
kidding with the word rumble the ps2 was
163
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:34,720
also technically the first time you
164
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,000
could play your games online but you had
165
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,240
to rely on the individual game
166
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
developers to create their own servers
167
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,159
as sony didn't develop their own
168
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,280
infrastructure for online connectivity
169
00:05:42,159 --> 00:05:45,600
until
170
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:47,600
the playstation 3 arguably the first
171
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,919
sony console to properly herald in the
172
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,919
digital age this time around internet
173
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:53,919
was a focus hence the included ethernet
174
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:55,680
cable as well as the tv output cables
175
00:05:53,919 --> 00:05:58,159
and a usb mini cable to charge the
176
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,680
further upgraded now wireless controller
177
00:05:58,159 --> 00:06:01,919
i probably don't need to tell you but
178
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,840
the ps3 was also the boldest console
179
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:06,720
sony i've ever made look at this
180
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:08,880
beefcake plus do you recognize that text
181
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,120
yeah that's the spiderman font because
182
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,319
sony owns the spiderman ip and they
183
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,360
thought it would help them to sell more
184
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,840
consoles
185
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,919
it did not the good news is that the ps3
186
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:20,400
took some notes from the ps2 in the ramp
187
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:22,240
everything up department the bad news is
188
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,560
that this time that also included the
189
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,880
price to try and make the ps3 feel like
190
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,360
a completely new era in gaming sony had
191
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,039
a special custom cell processor designed
192
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,720
just for it but this was really
193
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:34,600
expensive pushing the launch price of
194
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,600
this console all the way up to
195
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,600
869 dollars in today's money supremely
196
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,240
pricey especially given the console's
197
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,080
creepy plastic exterior but oh boy was
198
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,880
this thing powerful as a matter of fact
199
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,120
as an overall system it was about 35
200
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,800
times more powerful than the ps2 making
201
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,960
it
202
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,280
384 times more powerful than the ps1
203
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,680
these are ridiculous numbers in fact the
204
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:59,840
ps3 was so advanced that it was actually
205
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,000
used to build supercomputers including a
206
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:03,759
truly genius move by stanford university
207
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,160
researchers who developed an app called
208
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:08,000
folding at home which allowed ps3 users
209
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,240
to dedicate a portion of their super
210
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,240
computing power to aid with complex
211
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,000
protein folding calculations used to
212
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,479
learn more about how to prevent diseases
213
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
like alzheimer's he was also pretty good
214
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:19,520
at games
215
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,919
so i never actually owned a ps3 at
216
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,440
launch but i remember how i felt when my
217
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:25,199
friend got one for the first time it
218
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,360
really felt like a machine from the
219
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:29,120
future like i remember being just giddy
220
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,280
with excitement that something of this
221
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,080
power actually existed you also notice
222
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,599
they've actually started putting
223
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880
attention into how the disks look at
224
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:36,639
this point and the disk loading
225
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,080
mechanism that's all inside the console
226
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:40,159
now there's no tray that comes in and
227
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,919
out this console is not quiet or cool
228
00:07:40,159 --> 00:07:43,440
for that matter like an oven back here
229
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:44,879
and it's only on the home screen you can
230
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,479
kind of see that this is the point where
231
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,080
the console became much more than just a
232
00:07:46,479 --> 00:07:49,520
place to play video games it's the first
233
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,199
time there's a proper home screen that
234
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,319
you would actually want to spend time in
235
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:53,680
this literally used to be one of the
236
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:54,800
coolest things in the world to me the
237
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,599
fact that you could change your home
238
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,919
screen color oh yeah the friends tab
239
00:07:57,599 --> 00:08:01,440
i spent a lot of time there you think at
240
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:03,199
that point that you can't make the same
241
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,800
generational leap again
242
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:06,639
but this is it and also you can actually
243
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,240
feel the mechanics of the game becoming
244
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:10,160
more sophisticated as well there's more
245
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,599
physics involved one problem that ps3
246
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,840
owners did used to have though was that
247
00:08:11,599 --> 00:08:15,120
because the on off button was capacitive
248
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,199
their pets would often turn their
249
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,199
consoles off don't get any ideas
250
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,319
so now we have the ps3 gran turismo next
251
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,319
to the ps2 next to the ps1 i can't wait
252
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:28,560
to complete this line but already the
253
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:30,400
leap is phenomenal the first key
254
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,279
difference being resolution while the
255
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,519
ps1 is outputting the game at 512 by 240
256
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,959
the ps2 is pushing over three times more
257
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:42,559
pixels by 852 by 480 and the ps3 was
258
00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:43,838
running at two times that at 1280x720
259
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,480
or in other words for the very first
260
00:08:43,838 --> 00:08:47,760
time true high definition gaming this is
261
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,200
basically the difference between you
262
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:53,279
going into the settings on this video
263
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,519
and swapping between 240p 480p and 720p
264
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:57,920
massive but it's not just more pixels
265
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:59,200
it's also much more complex game effects
266
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,959
one of the most impressive things about
267
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,200
the playstation 3 was its ability to
268
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:05,600
also handle almost lifelike lighting
269
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,600
shadows and reflections not to mention
270
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,519
vast sprawling backgrounds something
271
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,279
else i'm noticing is is how much nicer
272
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:12,399
the controller is it's wireless it's
273
00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:14,080
weightier because it's now got an
274
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:15,839
inbuilt battery and also has motion
275
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,760
sensors built into it and also compared
276
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:19,680
to the ps2's controller the triggers
277
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,680
just have much more travel they call
278
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:23,279
this the six axis controller because as
279
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:24,880
well as all the buttons it could also
280
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,959
pick up how you moved the controller
281
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,720
itself and translate that into the game
282
00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:30,399
even though it was the home to god tier
283
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,160
games like grand theft auto 5 and the
284
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,760
last of us even though is where sony
285
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,519
launched their free online playstation
286
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,120
network service even though it also
287
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:39,680
doubled as a media machine with full
288
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,360
blu-ray disc compatibility sony really
289
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:44,000
screwed up that pricing it ended up
290
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,320
selling 84 million units barely half of
291
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,640
the ps2 and was slightly outsold by
292
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,320
microsoft's xbox 360. sony was on the
293
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,680
back foot again they needed to do
294
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,880
something special
295
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:55,120
thankfully
296
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,800
microsoft did their job for them when
297
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,600
the playstation 4 launched up against
298
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:02,160
the xbox one in 2013 microsoft screwed
299
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,760
up their marketing so badly that sony
300
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,920
could have re-released the playstation 3
301
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,000
and probably still won the fact that
302
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,079
microsoft forced users to also buy the
303
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,240
kinect camera with the console forced
304
00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:13,920
users to be always online and focused
305
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,399
almost completely on how the next-gen
306
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,480
xbox would work as a tv box rather than
307
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:20,880
a games console it made it almost too
308
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,279
easy for team blue sony even took to the
309
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,120
stage to rip apart the xbox one's
310
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:27,120
deliberate inability to play borrowed
311
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,360
games this is how you share your games
312
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,320
on ps4
313
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,480
thanks
314
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,480
and it was pretty much game over at that
315
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,600
point now when you add to this that the
316
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,440
ps4 was also insanely well designed it
317
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,440
starts to make sense why it completely
318
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,519
popped off like check out the new dual
319
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,440
shock 4 controller it incorporates the
320
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:47,120
dual shock tech from the ps2 controller
321
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,600
and the six axis motion sensing from the
322
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,440
ps3 controller and it makes both aspects
323
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,200
much more refined the analog sticks are
324
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,279
now also further apart and they're
325
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,440
concave for better grip there's a new
326
00:10:55,279 --> 00:11:00,000
share button which reflects the shift to
327
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,760
social gaming plus we've also got an rgb
328
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,680
led light on the front as an identifier
329
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,680
for which player you are a speaker in
330
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:07,680
the controller itself for a directional
331
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:09,040
sound experience and even a two inch
332
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:11,040
touchpad in the middle for menu
333
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,480
navigation i remember the moment that i
334
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,640
got to hold one of these for the first
335
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,320
time and i was just sat there like an
336
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,680
idiot like turning it over and over in
337
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,279
my hands for 10 minutes straight
338
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:23,279
thinking holy cow this is real the ps4
339
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:25,680
is about 10 times more powerful than the
340
00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:27,440
ps3 making it the numbers are getting
341
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:30,640
kind of out of hand at this point about
342
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:33,200
3 800 times as powerful as the ps1 it
343
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,240
had eight gigabytes of ram which is 32
344
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,839
times the ps3 and 4096 times the
345
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,760
original playstation and not to mention
346
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:41,839
that because the ps4 is based off a less
347
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,680
custom more standard pc-like
348
00:11:41,839 --> 00:11:45,440
architecture it was way easier for
349
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,360
developers to work with it and fully
350
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,120
extract that power
351
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,040
you know this kind of reminds me of the
352
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,040
really really early days of this channel
353
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,120
i remember when the ps4 launched we had
354
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,040
about 10 000 subscribers i know that
355
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,800
because we used to cover tons of gaming
356
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,279
content at the time but i would stick to
357
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,120
handhelds because i would never dream of
358
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:04,800
spending this much on one console i know
359
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,120
this section is all about the ps4 but
360
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,399
all i can hear is this ps3 this is
361
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,480
actually quite exciting this is the
362
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:12,079
first time you can turn the console on
363
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,000
with the controller so this is very much
364
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:16,320
a refined version of the ps3's home
365
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,560
screen much more blocky in style oh my
366
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,720
god listen to it
367
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,839
it's louder than the ps3
368
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,000
there was me thinking this is going to
369
00:12:21,839 --> 00:12:25,920
be a nice sleek quiet machine i only
370
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
half blame sony this room that we're in
371
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,920
is basically a sauna right now boots up
372
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,680
the game you can also tell the text is
373
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,519
way sharper and more readable now you
374
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:35,440
can actually now pick the exact time of
375
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:37,200
day of your race and it will affect the
376
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,760
weather conditions accordingly you can
377
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,760
feel such a visceral difference the
378
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,440
density of the crowd the the light
379
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,600
coming right from the sun right so i've
380
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,959
actually filled up a bag with ice just
381
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,399
to cool it down because this is getting
382
00:12:46,959 --> 00:12:50,320
ridiculous i'm gonna lay it on top of
383
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:52,000
the ice pack in my mind this is what a
384
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,600
modern racing game looks like the game
385
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,519
almost has like an atmosphere that the
386
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,040
other ones lack excuse my driving i can
387
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:59,680
actually also notice a bit of realistic
388
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,920
damage on my car so upgraded physics too
389
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:03,839
what do you do with this much power then
390
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,079
well i mean just for starters a further
391
00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:08,800
doubling of the resolution to now 1080p
392
00:13:06,079 --> 00:13:10,880
or full hd the ps4 could happily fill a
393
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,800
40 inch tv and not look like it was
394
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,279
being stretched and it also just gave
395
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,440
developers the headroom to be creative
396
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:19,760
to build not just detailed backgrounds
397
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,600
but fully open worlds to execute their
398
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,519
visions in their entirety plus they
399
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,880
could now add pretty much any visual
400
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:27,279
effect they could think of dirt
401
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,959
particles motion blur realistic fog and
402
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:31,360
it's in these details where you really
403
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:33,200
feel the difference versus the ps3 so
404
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,639
when you combine all of this with the
405
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,800
fact that the playstation 4 also
406
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:38,959
launched at a much friendlier 500 in
407
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,079
today's money it's not surprising that
408
00:13:38,959 --> 00:13:43,920
it went on to sell 120 million units
409
00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:46,079
more than doubling microsoft's competing
410
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:48,399
xbox one it's kind of hard to imagine
411
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:51,680
how this masterpiece can actually now be
412
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:54,000
seen as a relic of the past but the ps5
413
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:56,160
firmly pushes it aside cementing itself
414
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,399
as the wildest most futuristic
415
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,320
playstation to ever exist and sony has
416
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:01,760
really run with this idea of futurism
417
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,279
everything from the controller to the
418
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,839
console to the headset they launch
419
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:08,000
alongside it it all shares this two-tone
420
00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:10,720
ultra minimalistic space-age design
421
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,040
philosophy and i freaking love it the
422
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,519
moment i saw the ps5 get announced i
423
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,600
shrieked like what gamer doesn't want a
424
00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:19,839
console that looks like a literal alien
425
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,000
starship and i mean it makes the xbox
426
00:14:19,839 --> 00:14:24,160
series x that it's competing against
427
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,639
look like a prude by comparison there is
428
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,079
also this strangely shaped stand which
429
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:29,680
actually very cleverly can support the
430
00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:32,720
console either horizontally or
431
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:35,360
vertically but do the internals keep up
432
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,360
absolutely the playstation 5 dunks on
433
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,360
its predecessor it has two times the ram
434
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,279
at 16 gigabytes and it's called graphics
435
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,959
processing unit is about eight times
436
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:44,800
more powerful and that's not even
437
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:47,120
factoring in it's solid state storage
438
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,040
that's at least 50 times faster than the
439
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,120
playstation 4's hard drive and this is
440
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,199
the fun part about compounding multiples
441
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:56,639
when compared to the original ps1 the
442
00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:58,399
ps5 is approximately 30 000 times more
443
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:00,880
powerful you could make a bridge of
444
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:01,839
playstation ones spanning an entire city
445
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,639
and it still wouldn't be able to
446
00:15:01,839 --> 00:15:07,040
outperform a single ps5 let's see how
447
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:09,199
the ps5 compares i love these leds on
448
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,279
the inside such a classy touch this is
449
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:12,880
such a fun video as well hey if you want
450
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:15,279
to see me make a comparison of every
451
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,040
nintendo console ever and the sub to the
452
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:20,320
channel would be historic
453
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,519
oh my god i'm blinded adjust hdr oh that
454
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,680
is actually one of the new features here
455
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:24,880
just like insane levels of contrast i
456
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,639
know we're only on the homepage right
457
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,399
now but this screen the one thing you
458
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:30,720
really notice about the ps5 ui is
459
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:33,519
everything is very visual and full
460
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,600
screen wow the amount of
461
00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:37,360
buildings you can see you can see
462
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,959
individual settlements over here in the
463
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,040
background okay just look at the
464
00:15:38,959 --> 00:15:42,959
difference in color between this screen
465
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,880
and this screen a lot of that is just
466
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:46,320
the new high dynamic range i can hear
467
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,759
applause coming through the speaker in
468
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,160
the controller you can even see the
469
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:52,959
clouds in the sky reflected on the body
470
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,600
of my car and moving in real time oh my
471
00:15:52,959 --> 00:15:57,920
god it's so rumbly okay this is a huge
472
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,320
upgrade even from the ps4 not only is
473
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,560
the resolution now full 4k four times
474
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,279
higher than 1080p the ps5 is also
475
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,040
capable of real-time ray tracing meaning
476
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:09,040
that instead of pre-baking the light
477
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,959
reflections into a scene like most video
478
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,040
games have done till now this console
479
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:15,519
can simulate the real physical behavior
480
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,519
of light in real time and how it affects
481
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:19,600
every single pixel on screen and i can
482
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:21,600
also feel not just the general rumble
483
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,839
for my engine thanks to dual shock but
484
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,440
also the physical sensation of putting
485
00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:27,120
pressure on the pedal thanks to the new
486
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,839
adaptive triggers in this controller
487
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,519
that can adjust their tension on the fly
488
00:16:29,839 --> 00:16:34,720
every playstation console together in
489
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:36,399
one frame what a sight imagine what the
490
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,399
ps6 is gonna look like
491
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:40,880
now as slick as the ps5 does look there
492
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:42,720
is one way to make it even slicker
493
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,320
these are dark plates and not only do
494
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,079
they make your console matte black but
495
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,519
they add vents to allow more air to pass
496
00:16:46,079 --> 00:16:49,199
through they reduce the temperature on
497
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:51,120
the inside of the console and they also
498
00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:53,040
trim the corners to make it more compact
499
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,639
much needed with the size of this thing
500
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,000
but it's not just a customization for
501
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:57,759
the sides of the console you can also
502
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,600
pick up a middle skin to cover up those
503
00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:01,440
unavoidable scuffs on the glossy piano
504
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,120
black plastic i've gone for matte black
505
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,039
all the way around but you can also get
506
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,199
retro grey which is color matched to the
507
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:08,959
original playstation 1 or just classic
508
00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:11,119
white and if that's still not enough
509
00:17:08,959 --> 00:17:13,520
customization dark plates have one more
510
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,119
trick light scripts these are basically
511
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,959
light filters that you put on top of the
512
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,319
existing lights that your ps5 has to
513
00:17:16,959 --> 00:17:19,919
change the color of them to whatever you
514
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,160
want it to be link below to check out
515
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:24,319
