What if Disney's 'Toy Story' [Sega Genesis/SNES] was on PlayStation 1?

I present a fan-made prototype/fake longplay of 1 of my all-time favorite video games, Disney & Pixar's "Toy Story" (1995), as if it were not only released on the Sega Genesis & Super NES, but also on the PlayStation 1! It's basically just the SNES version but with more edits involved in the mix such as color & texture adjustments, more sound effects & additional music tracks & my own liberties. And of course a movie-based PS1 game must have cutscenes like "A Bug's Life" & "Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue", so as I'm not sure if there's an approximate limit of cutscenes or how long they usually are supposed to be in games but here they give you the basic idea of the movie & what you're about to go through in the gameplay. That sounded more exciting to go along the story of the film instead of the original game(s) which shows text & photos of the movie, so now it's like you can watch the movie & play the game (the latter as mentioned in a poster for the original game). Speaking of gameplay, a few sets of levels, like "Revenge of the Toys" & "Run Rex Run" for example, I connected together without cutscenes in between them for they seemed more of a Part 1 & 2 type of transition. And I made the level "DAY-TOY-NA" a mini game as an intro to "Light My Fire" without having the score go up the further you get for I couldn't be able to get the accurate score for the game onwards. And I found the movie clips through various sources online so I'm sorry if some clips have lower quality or glitches, etc. But they were the best I could use.

There really isn't that much changes besides this prototype being a rip of the SNES version which I personally think is the better version by presentation & better controls that have a certain flow to it (yet both that & the Genesis version equally have critical comparisons), & for those who feel the SNES version seems unfinished compared to the Genesis version, I understand respectfully but I thought I'd redeem it here with similarities of the Sega Genesis version & plenty of sound effects from the 1996 PC Power Play version & few sounds from the Genesis version too, 2 unused music tracks meant for the SNES version, "You've Got A Friend In Me" & "DAY-TOY-NA", as well as a new credit screen at the end inspired by the end credits of Disney's "Pinocchio" on SNES & Sega Genesis. Yeah, we don't talk about the Nintendo Game Boy version (...) Ever! And even though I could've used the PC version's music throughout everything & I've really tried to remake it but it seems too difficult. Maybe I will in the future.... 🤔 But I can't keep promises, as it might cause such an upset. Nevertheless, this video was a pain to make - a flippin' doozy! It took at least a month or a couple of weeks to finish altogether. And yes, this video is kid-friendly too. So I hope you guys love the video & the concept behind it! Yee-HAW!

Shoutout to JTH Games for the video "What if? Toy Story Power Play was on the PS1???", even though he got that & the SNES version mixed up, which inspired me to create this video for entertainment purposes & FAIR USE

Shoutout to World of Longplays for the longplay of "Toy Story" on the SNES to provide the gameplay here, & shoutout to Ravenlord for being my test-gamer, you might say.

A pretty accurate interpretation of how this game would be in PS1, specially with the cutscenes between levels, something pretty common in PS1 videogames based on animated movies

[mguymario]

Really good prototype. I feel like just like this video a PS1 version would combine the best of the all versions with the graphics of the SNES version, the voiceover, SFX, and music of the PC version, the better version of the first person level found in the Genesis version and the RC level exusive to the Genesis and PC versions of tge game

[ahhazgaming]

I love how you can watch nearly the entire movie in this mock up

[eternalarcadeevo]

This appeared in my main paige and dont hesitate to click, I love the concept of seeing a game from a console if it was relased in another generation, but there are 2 things that I will change from the video

1: The quality of the fmv needs to be lower, ps1 games often have cutcenes with a lot of compression because of the 600 mb storage limit of the cd-r

2: The lack of loading screens takes away the feeling of ps1 games, the games of that era loaded data often

Outside of that I liked this video a lot, I will love to see more things like this in the future

[WilsTube]

Really good video, would also be interesting to see what a GBA version of Toy Story would be like!

[drawingsuperstar]

The music in the RC level where you crash into Buzz sounds like where they got the Inspiration for Live & Learn

[red-man]

This is pretty well put together! Almost fees and sounds like an actual Playstation game

[TrustaMann]

The movie clips would've been remade with Jim Hanks' voice as Woody, Pat Fraley's voice as Buzz Lightyear, and ANYthing or anyone NOT supposed to appear was removed in favor of a PlayStation version of the game.

rip gunny lee erny miss that bloody legend.

[LennonTilse]

That would definitely be very cool if Toy Story 1 would be released as a video game for the PS1 because the PS1 console was released before the Toy Story movie. The only thing that needs to add is more voice clips because the PS1 uses compact discs and the SNES/Genesis uses cartridges and also, the game music and sound effects needs to be remastered too.

PS1 release date: September 9, 1995
Toy Story release date: November 22, 1995

I really like what you did with the staff roll ! Combining both the SNES and Genesis versions of "You've got a friend in me" into a mashup, and Woody dancing on loop while the names are rolling by was a nice touch -^ ^-

[goiabexp]

No Hyper-Realistic PS1 controller dancing on the menu screen, 0/10.
Seriously though, this is a great concept

[DamnZtar]

This would have been the best version of the video game for Toy Story.

[torrestoyfun]

SNES: not much scenes
Genesis: has a lot of scenes
PlayStation: LITERALLY TAKES SCENES FROM THE MOVIE!

[pepsidude]

I would have actually really loved to see the original Toy Story video game for the PS1 even though the game was never released on that platform unfortunately.

[raulsruleoffilm]

Since lion king, Aladdin and jungle book got a remaster on the switch, Xbox, and PlayStation. I hope someday they’ll give Toy Story A remaster

[masterdrewt]

Y’know, to be honest. This would actually have that Mickey mania vibe to it since there was a ps1 version to it.


And maybe some sound effects would be from the pc…but I say the snes is more clearer

[gordyowl]

Oh my a PS1 game that says "Licensed by Nintendo"

No worries I had read the description before get into the comments section.

Anyways, I think the Genesis version is the based version of Toy Story, so it could match the resolution and also they did some cool tricks with the visuals too

[theactualsoup]

This is an amazing mock-up for what it’d look like! I’m surprised nobody else took a shot at making something like this. Very good show, lad. 10 / 10 would pray for the real thing to be made.

[joseemilianozembenicovela]

pretty great because i have almost the entire movie
