Anthony and Nicola Caulfield are the minds behind this documentary.

PlayStation immediately evokes not only so many great memories of gaming down through the years but also the promise of all the things yet to come. I hear PlayStation and its gaming defined. I'll use a certain word here...amped. Definitely amped to see this and it is a fantastic lead in to what is going to be a landmark year for PlayStation.

This will be great to watch, and just before the PS5 launch too. It's going to get the Blue PS blood running. I actually can't wait to see it.

lonewolf101370d ago

And the tune that went with it.

Its why I have the classic theme installed on my PS4.

I have two of the anniversary edition controllers. Paid $120 a piece for the but I don't want to use them cause I don't want them to wear so I just keep them in PS4 controller cases. The only time I actually use them is if I'm playing a PS1 game on my Raspberry Pi.

It was a pretty simple strategy: give a variety of games to a variety of gamers. And be consistent while raising the bar.

Others need to watch and take notes.

No denying Playstation opened up gaming to a lot more people (that might not of been interested before). I still remember seeing Wipeout being demoed in a local shop and being blown away by it, and I had been gaming since late 70's early 80's.

Sega's surprise Saturn lsunch and the late arrival of the N64 paved the way

lonewolf101370d ago (Edited 1370d ago )

I would of said Sony managed to hit the right generation at the right time and with the right attitude/marketing, putting Playstation booths in dance clubs for instance. Have DJ's make music for games (Wipeout) etc.

Nothing was overhyped by Sony. It was basically here is the "Playstation"

What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.

I hope IX is still on the cards

Just a straight up remake which they expand a little bit nothing over ambitious

If IX dosent happen then VI and VIII will never be thought of.

Do not miss Final Fantasy 16. Great game!

I'm waiting for them to release the complete edition bundle, but it's definitely on my list.

Wth is going on with the gaming industry?

TiredGamer9m ago

The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.

Sad. Rebirth was one of my favorite games in a long time. Should have sold more.

Well, they're ugly aren't they?

phoenixwing1d 20h ago

Isn't any better or worse than any other shoe. Most of them are made in sweat shops no matter what logo they have

Ironmike2d ago

Playstation should have went with nike

JackBNimble1d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

I'd be embarrassed wearing any clothing with a console sponsored brand unless is was 12 years old.

Tody_ZA2d ago

It ain't real until LeBron tells us what this shoe means to his career.

Puma the unofficial sneakers for the NYC Breakers from the movie Beat Street (1984)

Abnor_Mal1d 13h ago

Those were the suede ones like the burgundy ones with the fat shoe laces. If you were really nice you had the checker board laces done up. A pair of Lee or Guess jeans a BVD nylon T-shirt. Rocking some Gazelles and Kangol cap preferable the beaver fur.

DefenderOfDoom222h ago

Roc Steady Crew wanted to wear Adidas but was told must wear Pumas because they are funding the movie . Awesome time to be a teenager in the early 80's
. Cool thing about being in your 50s is we were there for the beginning of HIP HOP and Video games.
