Digital Foundry Retrospective: Sony PlayStation Revisited - Every Launch Game Tested - Part One: Japan
- Thread starter chandoog
- Start date
Watching now on lunch. Enjoying so far. Nostalgia, even though I had a N64. My friend had the ps1.
I was one of those weirdos who straight up didn't like it because how utterly unresponsive it felt. I just wanted to play MK3 even with the load times...and we still mostly ended up playing that on SNES because thats what most people around me had at the time.
I managed to watch the first 20 minutes of this. Its excellent. Definitely going to finish it (hopefully) soon. DF just keeps getting better and better. Love the channel.
Part 2 - The North American launch.

Yes. Wipeout was a European launch game, for one. Jumping Flash was too.
This is so great, went through the JP and US vids and so many memories. It's hard to understate just how jaw dropping RR was at the time.
I really hope they do more of these launch series for other 3D 90s consoles too (Saturn, N64, Dreamcast). I feel like they've got a good chunk of Saturn covered already.

Japan definitely had the best lineup IMO. If that was the US launch I would have gotten the PS1 much quicker than getting it in 97. I like how there's more 2D games to ease into before testing the earlier 3D games.
Great videos.
On this one though the version comparisons went way too long. (Rayman and NBA Jam especially)
These games bring back a lot of memories though.
Love this series. Also it's so obvious this gen holds up the least out of all the gens. 3d Psx and Saturn games look really really ugly now. 2d games seem to hold up way better.
Nhaaa i enjoyed the deeper comparisons, they are what made the video not "just another list"
I know people like lists, but this was a good balance.

I really enjoyed this series, very much. This was a huge amount of work, having to replay all the games, multiple regions, and outer systems for comparision.
They also managed to source "new" old footage of ads, thanks to the magic of VHS ahaha.
