The first PlayStation I ever had wasnāt even really mine. It was one that me and a bunch of guys I was living with in England had bought and shared. And while it worked, it was also in the worst shape imaginable, covered in stickers and chip dust and beer stains and God knows what else.
Fast forward a few decades, and having worked at this website for so damn long, Iāve gotten used to the only PlayStation console I see being the one from the Wikipedia page, all pristine and spotless, and looking like it had just been taken out of the box. Thatās not what actual ā90s PlayStations looked like! They looked like shit!
So it was lovely visiting ArtStation today, and seeing the work of environment artist Luke Hewitt, whose recreation of a used and well-loved PlayStation is exactly how I remember my first one. The stickers, the grime, the filthy memory cards, itās all perfect.
You can see more of Lukeās stuff at his ArtStation page
