Ironman273 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Here's How PlayStation Consoles Have Said Hello Over the Years First, it sounded like the yawn of a giant supercomputer as it stretched itself awake. Then, like a genie coming out of a lamp. They're all burned into our memories. What's been your favorite PlayStation start-up screen? This compilation of PlayStation boot sequences celebrates the European launch of the PS4. (Yeah, it's a few days old; we missed it eating all that turkey.) Watching it is like taking a trip down the lifetime of several generations of gaming. The PS3 start-up screen is a favorite of mine because it sounds like an orchestra warming up before an amazing performance. That was probably intentional and you could theorize that each screen probably says something about how Sony Computer Entertainment saw itself at the time. Coming after the bravado of the PS3 screen, the PS4 greeting seems almost? humble? "Welcome back to PlayStation?" because we know you've been here before, but didn't necessarily have to come back.

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 2, 2013 Veteran Share Posted December 2, 2013 PS1 is still the most nostalgic for me just because of all the time i spent on FFVII and FF Tactics. threetonesun and madd-hatter 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiB3R Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Got worse with each iteration, if you ask me. The audio, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RageOfFury Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 The PS1 Intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31ivdML1Xes + Metal Gear Solid Intro = GOOSEBUMPS! Aergan and dead.cell 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firey Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 The PS1 Intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31ivdML1Xes + Metal Gear Solid Intro = GOOSEBUMPS! Oh man, I remember MGS. Psycho Mantis would read your memory card for other konami games (in my case castlevania), and would "Make the controller move" using the vibrate. The trick to him was put the controller in the second port and it wouldn't read the signals. Sniper wolf with the mine field, man good times. trooper11 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead.cell Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 PS1 was my favorite, and the PS3 and PS4 seem a bit of a tie for me. I've always hated the PS2 sound, minus the actual Playstation 2 logo that pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aergan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Nothing is quite like the Sega Master System MK1 or Sega Mega CD boot-up though. :) Master System MK1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYlWT_oMVGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
