Our opinion
Paul writes… I like how every PlayStation startup sound transports you again to a unique time, however this additionally signifies that nostalgia positively clouds my imaginative and prescient in terms of the very best PlayStation startup sound. I’ve vivid reminiscences of the booming throb of the OG PlayStation sound earlier than it booted up Crash Bandicoot 2/Tony Hawk’s Professional Skater/Ape Escape, or the sci-fi soundscape that’s the PS2’s startup. The PS3’s little orchestral quantity is good, however the PS4 and PS5 sounds are slightly forgettable in comparison with the remaining.
I’m going to need to go along with the unique PlayStation’s startup simply due to how a lot it felt prefer it was the beginning of one thing we hadn’t seen in video video games earlier than. The Nintendo 64 didn’t also have a startup sound, simply booting you instantly into the sport after you’d inserted the cartridge and turned the ability on. PlayStation felt highly effective in a approach {that a} console had by no means felt earlier than — it felt like the primary online game console that wasn’t a toy.
