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 -->
