    Who remembers the magic of a PlayStation Demo Disc? I do. But I equally remember the magic - or more accurately, strangeness - of the Official UK PlayStation Magazine, which is where the PS1 demo discs and even PS2 demo discs came from in the first place if you lived in the UK. There was a US edition, plenty of spin offs and unofficial magazines, and even alternatives for other consoles like Nintendo Power, but this isn’t them, and you aren’t watching AVGN. Angry Video Game Nerd, sorry. Reading a PS1 magazine or a PS2 magazine was like reading your favourite book, if somebody kept on updating it because of new information. This magazine not only hid all of the classic PS1 demo discs that I talked about in my demo disc review video, but ended up becoming the best selling gaming magazine IN THE WORLD by 1999 after featuring a Metal Gear Solid review and Metal Gear Solid demo. The success never reached those levels again, but the magazine itself is still going today and managed to survive through the dawn of the internet, eventually ending up into the Official PS3 Magazine and nowadays the Official PS4 Magazine. I’m saying ‘official’ a lot because I think it’s important to stress that this wasn’t a third party magazine - it was Sony licensed, and as the magazine transitioned from PS1 to PS2, I’m surprised it was still Sony approved. Like any time a franchise or product reaches its highest sales volumes ever, this also means sales eventually do drop - and when this happens, to try to recreate initial high sales volumes in the early years, sometimes you end up completely losing it and forgetting what made you so successful in the first place. I bring this up due to what ends up happening to the Official PlayStation magazine - form the PS1 to PS2, it slowly became an adult-oriented and sleazy magazine for lads in a desperate attempt to reinvigorate the hardcore fans and bring in more casual people than ever. You won’t believe what you see towards the end of this video, and won’t believe this was an official publication from the heads of PlayStation themselves. Hotlines galore, inappropriate comments, weird articles, gross pictures, it’s got it all. Get ready for my longest video yet, grab your popcorn, and let’s look at these pages with our mouths gaping open together. Rate Your Mate, indeed. Welcome to the Caddicarus PlayStation magazine review, featuring Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima, Abe’s Odyssey, Abe’s Exoddus, Jak and Daxter, Heart of Darkness, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Enter the Matrix, Rascal, Tekken, and plenty of really old Nokia mobile phone ads for Java games and ringtones of early 2000’s hits.

    What I find fascinating is an argument is often "you can't criticise sexism in the past, as it was just a sign of the times, you can't criticise something in the past by today's standards".
    But, literally, the editors acknowledged that pandering to that audience isn't relevant to a magazine about a video console. They had a set of standards... Then went back on those standards they had set themselves to.

    • @SineN0mine3
      @SineN0mine3 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      I wouldn't say you can't criticise things in the past, just that there's not much point to doing so after a certain point.
      There was a negative reaction to the questionable content at the time, which was enough for them to change their minds, but if they hadn't, criticising them decades later wouldn't change their minds or any body else's now. If you want to express moral outrage, it might as well be for something relevant which people are still forming opinions about.
      Everything worth criticising so far has happened in the past. Since there's too much bad stuff in the world for anyone to care about all of it, it doesn't make sense to complain too much about old news except for the sake of nostalgia like this video does.

    Man, I really want a small documentary on that. I want interviews with the people who did those issues. I want to know, if they did these kinda stuff like, on autopilot, forcefully, or they pretty much hired 'lads' to do the stuff.. I lean more towards the forcing. A part of me wants to believe this was all something they really felt uncomfortable doing but were forced to. Because it's so SO SO OVER THE TOP it's incredible.

      As someone whose job is to make magazines, put texts and photos and such on place, we have no say what actually gets put on the pages. People send us the material and we just put them in place.

    This reminds me of G4. Basically a tv channel that started with games and tech, later expanded to movies, internet and pop culture. And then the boobs and "College Frat Bro" tv shows took over.
    Unlike the PlayStation Magazines, G4 never recovered.
    Edit (2-3 years later): Keep in mind that this comment was posted sometime in 2019 or 2020, before G4's revival in Fall 2021. So I know it's back, and I know Scott the Woz is on it.

    Okay. I do have to say. 10:14 actually makes sense. As weird as it is to think about, Devil May Cry was marketed as a survival horror game (one just need to look at the back of the box to see). I imagine this was because it was originally a prototype of RE4. Not to discredit the joke or anything. I just think it's interesting in a way to see games marketed as one thing when we know them today as something totally different (but not in a false advertising way).

      Exactly.
      You can't force those who are not interested.

    Caddicarus, I've been a watcher since 2014 or so, and I don't normally comment, but I gotta say, I genuinely think these recent videos are some of the best videos you've ever done. I've felt that your videos over the past couple of years were a bit more focused on random comedic timing and jokes rather than talking about stuff with that style of humor just sprinkled in, and that wasn't really my cup of tea, but this video, the demo disc one, the one where you bought bad games... all of these are absolutely phenomenal. Perfect mix of talking about the topic with your humor in, and the jokes don't ever completely overshadow the topic, nor do they feel like they go "too far" (not in a "this is offensive" way, I mean too far as in "this is too random/loud/ridiculous to be funny" (which I recognize it's all subjective, but personally if something is too loud or random it just feels annoying)). Either way, keep it up! I'm back to excitedly anticipating your new videos because they've just been so fantastic. Thanks for the great content!

      as a new subscriber to Caddicarus, I agree. watching some of the videos in the backlog aren't as funny as these newer ones.
