PlayStation Year One 20th Anniversary documentary

4.7

A documentary series chronicling every game released for the original PlayStation console has been developed by former Joystiq contributing editor Danny Cowan.

PlayStation Year One covers the console’s historical impact and how its “landmark games and the creators defined modern industry trends.”

The one-hour premiere episode was released today, and it is available below.

It covers the first ten games available on PlayStation’s launch day such as Battle Arena Toshinden, Rayman, Kileak: The DNA Imperative, the story behind the game-to-film adaptation of Street Fighter: The Movie, and Ridge Racer.

If you would like to help fund future episodes of the series as well as other documentary projects in current development, a Patreon campaign has been set up.

Cowan and his partners are also hosting a PlayStation Anniversary stream tonight at 7pm CT/8pm ET on Twitch.

The original PlayStation consoles launched in North America on September 9, 1995.

I actually have the PS1 sound as my boot sound on my PC. I can still clearly remember when my dad bought a PS1. We both really loved crash bandicoot and Syphon Filter. I really wish they'd reboot the Syphon Filter series. It was pretty damn awesome.

Got a PS1 when I was 3, PS2 when I was like 5, kept that for a while then got an xbox 360 and had switched between that and PS3, then bought a vita and still have my 360. Playstation is where I started but it's just going downhill imo. R I P

Wow, I forgot playstation has been out for 20 years, I enjoyed my PS2 when socom was out, Now that the newer updated consoles came out it got better and better, PS3 was crushed and now PS4 is crushing this year, Hopefully it stays like this all through the years.
