  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps3 was brand new tech and only Sony set the Blu-ray standard so it wasn't a fuck up it was experiencing with new hardware
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    the only plus that PS2 had was the dvd format
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even with late PS2 games that pushed the console to its limit, they struggled really hard to run on PS2. which is why they had frame rate issues.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xbox didn't even release with hdmi tell later down the road and had huge ass bricks
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even Cave shmup werent released on PS2 because of its shitty hardware. and some of the ones that got released on PS2 had shitty port.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    If you have a ROM file that's calling to hardware that's part of the cartridge itself, that makes it tricky for an emulator since it has to do the console and any additional thing that the developer shoved in the cartridge too. Luckily a lot of that was standard.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, Sony wanted to compete with HD-DVD and the Xbox 360, so they made the price of the console less than what it was advertised for. And because consumer players were expensive, some people bought one just so they can watch their movies... just like the PS2 as a cheap DVD player (well, depends on how you look at it for the price).
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The HD DVD was a separate accessory right? ps3 played HD content out of the box
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, And some Game Boy games that had extra SGB features, one example is Space Invaders with a modified version of Space Invaders for the SNES.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    Kind of lame that the very last console that is likely to ever have a cartridge slot that can add hardware to the system is the DS Lite due to the Slot 2.

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also Dreamcast games that got ported at PS2 were shit at PS2 like Grandia 2
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus 360 had proprietary storage much like they do now with Xbox one ps3 was just a hdd swap
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, It was a separate accessory for the 360, after it flopped it became cheaper.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Still tech wise Playstation beat 360
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    But they were half the price you knew what you were getting
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Drives were made by Toshiba and in order to use it you had to install an update to have the ability to play HD-DVD discs. You can, however, use it on a PC as long as you install some UDF drivers.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    @SylverReZ I thought it was interesting that there's a thread about adding bluetooth to the NintendoDS and no one has mentioned the Slot 2 thing, especially since I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Pokemon Typing does.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, Nobody seemed to mention that there was a DS flashcart with Bluetooth capabilities. It has connectors to hook up separate devices. https://games.ucla.edu/game/ds-bluetooth

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Today's console doesn't really make a difference all have no games
  • The_Dizzy_Vizzy @ The_Dizzy_Vizzy:
    @anotherthing A big part of that came from the Nintendo (Ultra) 64...
  • A @ anotherthing:
    @SylverReZ Okay, now that's cool. I didn't know the DS cartridge slot could do that, but I should have considering the DSTwo exists.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, There's nothing big about new consoles, it's all about making profit from something you had from over a decade ago that is now 10x times worst.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, Still looking for those, I would love to try out the extra features.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps5 will be a beast when it gets fully hacked and you can install Linux lol
