Why didn't the PS1 have a realtime clock? The Saturn had one. It could've been used for RPGs and sim or strategy games.
>what if threadJust play games you stupid faggot
That's the PSX, picrel is the PS1
>>10907769You knew what I meant.
>>10907761>Just play games, don't discuss them.Then why even post here?
>>10907779I did. And I pedantic posted. I didn't have to, but I did.
>>10907769No, that’s the PSone.
>>10907781You're not discussing games. You're discussing pointless hypotheticals that don't mean anything or have any bearing on real life.
>>10907769PS1 is the original, PSOne is the slim. PSX is that weird DVR device Sony released in 2003.
>>10908050“PSX” was used as an abbreviation for PlayStation well before this thing came along.
EGM February 1994. The PSX abbreviation referring to the pre-release system stuck when people referred to the system after its release.
>>10907759i already own a clock, i just want to play video games...

>>10908127It’s too bad your mom didn’t abort you.
>>10908089I was a kid when the PlayStation first released here in Australia, I don't remember anyone calling it "PSX"; people just said "PlayStation". I guess it didn't start getting called PS1 until PS2 was rumoured or announced in the late 90s?
>half-decent thread ruined by a decade old bait
>>10908368It was more of a thing if you were online or read games magazines.
>>10907761Agreed dumb threadNEXT
>>10908002Hypotheticals are an interesting thing to discuss. If you have nothing to contribute, then fuck off to some other thread.
>>10907761
Great thread guys!
>>10908050ePSXe was released in 2000.
>>10907759The most I can think it's cost, so they could kept the console cheap enough for retail.
>>10910354Probably. It's one less part that can fail too.
>>10907759Why bother? In all the consoles that have one it rarely adds anything to the games. In fact it's often more hassle and detrimental to gameplay.e.g. Animal Crossing works in realtime but this means players have to fiddle with the clock and dodge the wrath of Mr. Resetti because they can't always be in front of the console at the times the game code requires them to. So they cheat. The game could just NOT have that and instead work off game time.MGS3 used the clock to count the passage of time and it amounted to gimmicks like the End dying of old age and all your captured food spoiling because you were bust all week and only just got time to sit down for a game later. And you get punished for not being a jobless neet.RTCs for games just suck. Every console and handheld has one and it's only for timestamps on saves and security certificate checking. Thank fuck game designers have learned to ignore it. And I'm glad the PS1 never had one, so nobody wasted time putting in annoying realtime elements into games that are better without them
>>10907759The PS1 didn't have one? Did any Devs use the clocks on PS2 or Xbox for real time stuff?
>>10910658>Did any Devs use the clocks on PS2 or Xbox for real time stuff?Don't know about Xbox, but on PS2, Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal had the Insomniac Museum that you could visit at 3:00 AM. I think Going Commando had one too.
>>10907759idk but i'm glad they didn't because it would've ruined the moonstone as old reliable like in saturn sotn.
>>10908050>>10908127>>10908368
>>10910886its called the playstation-x because it was made for people with x chromosomes (i.e. girls)
>>10910886nobody calls it the psx now, schizo-kun
>>10910902
>>10910886>>10910913Thank you for your service on dunking on absolute morons. These fuckwits are obnoxious.
>>10907769I don't care whether people use 'PSX' or 'PS1' but that's a really silly argument. If a car manufacturer decides to facelift one of its models, it's still the same car and has the same name.
>>10910613The mgs3 clock gimmicks don't really work in the story anyway because they say clearly that Snake has one week to prove USA's innocence and stuff so if Snake takes on week to beat The End or whatever, he would have failed.
>>10910613>And you get punished for not being a jobless neet.based, wagies are not welcome in this hobby
>>10908451Today, I will remind him.
>>10907759Idk, but Kojima is a genius
>>10913630>The End manages to stall Snake for a week>meanwhile Shagohod gets to full production and WW3 starts
>>10908127Anyone not using PSX instead of PS1 is a zoomer faggot. It was common when first PlayStation was around.
>>10907759>Why didn't the PS1 have a way to save gamesRetard alert
>>10907759because the saturn is superior
>>10910613>And you get punished for not being a jobless neet.Splendid.
>>10908050Holy zoomer
>>10907759>WhyCheap budget hardware. Everything about the psx was incredibly cheap and flimsy.
Insisting on calling the PS1 "PSX" is like insisting on calling the N64 the "U64"
all of you are wrong, gay and retarded.everyone just called it "PS"
Can we ever have ONE FUCKING THREAD not get derailed by a name people are autistic about?
>>10915095Internal save memory would've been a great feature tbqh
>>10908836So, the kind of thing the majority of humanity either didn't sink much time into or didn't care about
>>10910276Is it related to his head being a potato?
>>10915481>Internal save memory would've been a great feature tbqh[according to whom?]Poorfags who only had one game and poor children yet to be born were not their target market.
>>10907769I don't know what you guys are talking about. Me and my friends always called it the 'pee es cross'. It's the original name look it up.
>>10909738They're not, it's masturbation. You fuck off.
>>10907761>Posting on /vr/Just play games you stupid faggot
What does the X stand for?
>>10917060> Poorfags who only had one game and poor children yet to be born were not their target market.Doesn't change the fact that a lot of these people ended up owning PS1s. Internal memory would've been a godsend for all the poor kids whose ignorant parents didn't buy them memory cards.>>10917165Just because you don't find it interesting doesn't mean other people share the same opinion as you. YOU fuck off.
>>10917802-tation.
>>10918040>Internal memory would've been a godsend for all the poor kids whose ignorant parents didn't buy them memory cards.Indeed. Then you and your 12 siblings could have shared 3 saves instead of 15. But at least your parents wouldn't have had to sell you for scientific experiment to afford the memory card. Only a couple of your brothers, to pay for the increased cost of the system.
