does ps5 allow you to play ps2 games?

[–] Splatterphace@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would I want to play PS2 games? I wore all those games out decades ago.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Does anyone else remember Fold@Home? It was an app for the PlayStation 3 that created a supercomputer from all the PS3s running it to help fold proteins in order to research cures for diseases. Whenever I ran the app I felt like I was in the matrix 😂 I miss that era so much.

[–] jagungal@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Folding@home is still going, and is also on PC. Pretty cool idea. Anyone know if current-gen consoles run it?

[–] dlpkl@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

No idea tbh, I haven't seen it on my PS5 store

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah put me in the tank when there's actual games for it

[–] frezik@midwest.social 0 points 1 year ago

It's only been three years, I'm sure they're just about to release a good one.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God of War

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Red Dead 2?

Cyberpunk 2077 that doesn't suck.

These are current games, and you can't convince me otherwise.

Give me a PS4 that has that cool rumbling trigger thing the PS5 does and I'll be fine until about PS8 ✌️

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

The Xbox One technically has rumbling "impulse" triggers (just rumble, not adaptive) in the 5 games that support it

[–] wafflez@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

At least they're not a mobile "gamer"

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You dumb idiot you literally just needed to take the blue pill like wtf you were warned about this

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I'm colourblind and was too embarrassed to ask which was which again

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always apologize to Siri if I yell or swear at her.

Just in case.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

SAME. I regularly thank Google Assistant

Someone just convert me to nutrients please

Wasn't the matrix based in the paradise that was 1999? I'm pretty sure our AI overlords wouldn't let things go up to the point that PS5s existed, easier to just restart the 90s over and over.

No, the paradise matrix was a failure. Crops were lost. So they changed it to take place at the height of human civilization, just before AI was invented and started the war that destroyed the planet. Humans need to feel pain and suffering in order to accept reality.

But you're right; no PS5 in the Matrix.

[–] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about the PS2? Can I still pay San Andreas?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The Matrix: 2001

GTA: San Andreas: 2004

Nope :(

GTA3 is the latest game in the series that might be in it.

[–] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, at least Doom and Doom 2 still exist.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago

so the matrix runs doom? cool

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why do the matrix pods connect to the nipples like that?

[–] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Gotta have fun some how

"While we're talking, I know everyone's mind rejected the Matrix when it was too perfect, but if you could program in some pizza rolls and a loving goth GF I think that would strike a nice balance between utopia and modern hellscape. I'd ask for Bethesda games to be great on release, but that would probably trigger the whole 'this is too good to be real' response again."

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I have a similar scenario. Half-life 3 comes out: "TAKE ME OUT OF THIS SIMULATION, DEMON!".

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Half-Life 3 already came out, just in a short story form. I'm okay with it.

[–] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

USB cable plugs in on the the first try: "Now hold on a fucking second."
