What happened to kino start screens? They're all so boring now. I guess the fact that consoles have like entire OSs that you interface with prior to the game launching doesn't help.

Make this the PS5 startup.

Sony's marketing and branding during PS1 and 2 was fantastic. Everything they did played into an aesthetic that impacted how you remember feeling about using their product. When I turned on a PS2 game, I felt like I was diving into something. It felt important somehow. Similar feelings towards PS1.

I recall playing Resident Evil and Silent Hill during cold silent winter nights. This spoopy sound set the mood perfectly.

>implying gamecube didn't have the best startup sound

consoles can load up the games faster

Not particularly. it still takes ages to get into shit from a fresh startup on 360 and PS4. Consoles go into standby now though (although PS2 technically could do this as well kind of). The last 2 gens have had startup themes, they're just generic and boring.

Why did they change this?

not a clue, i really liked the chime at the end.

"Perfect aesthetics" -- that's a strange way to say "buggy and unstable as living goddamn fuck".

Goddamn, this + RE1/2 ate up so many comfy, comfy nights when I was in high school. There was literally NOTHING better back then than getting all settled in on the living room couch, covered in blankets, turning all the lights off, and then spending the whole faintly CRT glow lit night fucking around in SoTN looking for secrets or speedrunning RE2 to try to get good times to show off between friends. Take me back, anons

It has the aesthetics but to consistently use it is hell. 2000 is probably the most stable incarnation of Windows.

wow i always wanted a Sega CD as a kid, but that intro screen is underwhelming as fuck. glad my mom said no.

>although PS2 technically could do this as well kind of
How? I owned a PS2 but I barely remember anything about it. Did it just auto itself into standby if you didn't press a button for x time?

If you held down the power button to power it off for about 3 seconds, the power light would turn red. This meant it was in standby mode. I personally always flipped the switch on the back after powering it off but a lot of people would keep their PS2 in standby all the time.

Wait, that's not what I thought what it meant. I thought you could put it in standby and then resume the game whenever you come back. Yeah obviously everyone had their PS2 always "on".

Not everyone but yea it was meant to do that, in the same way the PS3 and 4 are. It's the same thing that any modern console does now (although modern consoles also do what you describe). Booting up from standby on PS2 was a lot faster though.

Wait, so could you actually put a gamer on hold and if you turn on the PS2 you could keep playing from right where you left or no? You make it sound very confusing user.

Yes lets set our console vertically so that it eventually falls down from a stray controller cord tug. Who the fuck kept their console vertical for more than 5 seconds?

it was a different time.

That's why you got a stand, though I still preferred having it horizontal anyways.

Everything about this console design was mindblowing when I was 12 years old. My friend had one and it seemed like it had endless features. It played fucking DVDs and PS1 games. I remember asking where you plug in the memory card and the controllers and then he just plugs them into those grooves on the front. This was a very awesome console.

I do remember struggling to get Mega-man X4 work on Playstation, the sense of relief when it finally start working after multiple tries. Take care of your discs or it's over.

Did that trick work on the black PS1 discs too?

Never worked for me, unless the point was to break my disc reader then that didn't work either cause I still played other games after trying it.
