PSP was a good console but it getting hacked so hard and quick destroyed the game market for it. It's a rare case where piracy actually killed a console. PSP console sales were really good but game sales were really bad. I was part of the problem as I only bought one game for it and used it for emulation. It was great for SNES games.
I have a bunch of PlayStation consoles, ps1,ps2,ps3,ps4, and ps5, but still they have to fix some kind of backwards compatibility on ps5. Psnow is not the problem solver since you need good internet. They could like use the ps3 discs as a key to confirm an emulation on the ps5 for example. I’m not the best at this stuff, but I really hope they make alternatives than psnow. Also those crash bandicoot and ratchet and clank live action videos are so goofy and awesome.
There is a video explaining that the PS5 is software locked from playing ps1-ps3 disc based games for now. It can still read the discs but it's just that the software from inside the system is blocking it from being accessed. It's only a matter of time before they announce a surprise update. Hopefully it's sometime soon. ua-cam.com/video/JIviD0IGYSw/v-deo.html
Do you make your own music for the videos? I liked the track you used at about the five minute mark, and found a link to your Soundcloud while searching the description for the name of the track.
Yeah for whimsu vids I make all the music cause I didn't wanna pay for license free stuff Gonna have to make a bunch more songs here soon so I don't reuse em too much
not everybody has a pc that could emulate playstation game's especially ps3 game's i know how to do it my pc just can't handle it this is why i want backwards compatibility on modern playstation's
Maybe you can release it unlisted, so it doesnt show up on your channel, but people that are interested (like me!) Can still view it. Post the link for it in a community post explaining the video isnt accurate, or in this video description, if you want. As always, thanks for the vid
9:50 POV: it's 1999. Monday. 6 AM. You boot up Gran Turismo and try to get a few races in before you have to get ready for school. Life isn't _good_ because it never has been on this planet, but you are unaware of all of this because you are 6. So to you, in this moment, Life is good.
Hello I just wondered what has Jason Schreir has done exactly to be considered such a bad exemple of journalism ? I only know him as the guy who denounced crunch culture in viddo games and not much else
Playstation lost all credibility when it cancelled Knack 3 [Note: if they ever reverse their decision and make Knack 3, please disregard this comment].
he posted this on his twitter a while ago: twitter.com/KnowledgeHubTy/status/1369009561709985797?s=20 basically he's trying to slowly transition the gaming and media stuff away from knowledgehub and into this channel because knowledgehub has a lot of dead subscribers, so knowledgehub is going to be for educational stuff and this channel for other stuff.
@@joelbaker2551 I find that really dumb I don't ever go to twitter. Why dont channels announce on things like this on the platform they are on. If not a small video at least a community post.
"Who still plays this?" Me I still play on PSP Gotta be honest though, not with much pleasure Still, erasing PSP games from the digital store would be a dick move, some of us like to make sure that bad games were actually bad.
Didn't know that you made your own music for this video, it's really good and didn't feel out of place. I actually didn't think that yeah, there is a kind of a cycle of when console companies do good one generation, the next generation can fail hard. So I am interested in how this generation will play out as it does seem like the console companies are more reactive to fan outcry this generation at least to me. I think we can see this in how Sony reacted to what was mentioned in this video and when Microsoft tried doubling Xbox gold's price, they reversed it when people got mad. I do also wonder though how long will this last as we are still early in the generation and there is so many ways for these companies to screw up hard.
2:31 And. It. Was. A. Gran. Turismo. Event. Kazunori Yamauchi made Gran Turismo, BY THE WAY REBELIOUSLY AS SONY DIDNT WANT A REALISTIC RACER, SPENT 5 YEARS NON STOP WORK FOR THE FIRST TITLE THAT COMPLETELY REVOLUTIONIZED THE WAY WE LOOK AT RACING GAMES, IT'S THE ONLY GAME TO REALLY TIE INTO REAL LIFE MOTORSPORT. THE AMOUNT OF DISRESPECT HE JUST DROPPED WITH THAT ONE COMMENT IS UNIMAGINABLE.
Oh no wonder PlayStation is starting to fuck over the gamers even more. Something just seems off with Sony after Jim took over. They don’t care about us as much anymore. Jim needs to leave!
"Only sucessusfull in Japan..." Isn't it like because of its region lock policy? Like, what about Gundam build fighters 2? Veeeeery cool, but not released on west, just needed to translate user interface and that's it. You can only get it used, overpriced of course, or pirating ._.
Sometimes i go back and play Daxter or Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on my psp, but the psp is so old that i had issues actually connecting it to the internet since it used such old hardware
tfw you write a hitpiece about how your carefully crafted hitpiece was thwarted by that evil, nasty, good-doing company. How tf you admit to being a Scooby Doo villain and still get a like from me I don't know, but ya did it... This is highway robbery I swear!
Consoles are dead, Nintendo is the only survivor by making their consoles unique. Playstation and Xbox now are just PCs and nearly identical. I don't see a point buying a new console that costs nearly as much as a new PC when I could use that money to upgrade my computer and always have better specs than consoles. And there's no good exclusives.
Hey man I’m down for the second channel, but I hope this kinda unrelated cleavage thumbnail is not gonna be a repeating thing. That kind of branding just takes respect away from your otherwise quality videos, among other reasons
While ms does still have some shit they need to flush, 100%, a COMPLETE reversal in player relations from both companies. Xbox 20th anniversary was also a real ass celebration, we got the last batch of back-compat games, an interactive museum, some free backgrounds and a free documentary. Meanwhile all PS got a fucking system theme for the 25th anniversary, means nothing if I can't PLAY old games to celebrate the anniversary smh
I'm gone to be the villain here, and defend his comment to some degree. The Gran Turismo games have been about cutting edge graphics for their current console, and about emulating the look of real life, and real cars. To someone who has no nostalgia for the older games, seeing them, it would be confusing as to why you would want what in his mind is the same game, but with blocky graphics.
Is the PS5 region free? The PS4 is and importing Japanese games is like $10 extra, so even if Sony was going to restrict 3rd party dudes internationally, it wouldn't make them impossible. Basically, I'll riot if Super Robot Wars goes away.

The moral of the story is, for the love of god people need to learn how to emulate games and find ROMs.
I only play PPSSPP in my phone, since mobile games sucks

@@miniboi134 sure maybe not ps3 games, but any computer made within the last decade should be able to emulate at least up to the PS1.

Me
I still play on PSP
Gotta be honest though, not with much pleasure
Still, erasing PSP games from the digital store would be a dick move, some of us like to make sure that bad games were actually bad.
And then they did it anyway.
Oh well now it’s less bad that there’s no decent batteries for PSP because there’s less to play.

Damn shame that a Gravity Rush 3 will more than likely never be made. =/
I’m just waiting for the Steambot Chronicles remake or backwards compatibility of PS2 games.
You put this out and then Playstation is revealed to be charging companies royalties for crossplay. rip.
No one:
Sony about their earlier consoles:
"And after [insert number] years, she is completely obsolete!"
hey man, don't diss on the psp!
that thing is so easy to emulate that gaming is, arguably through emulation, better than the og hardware lol
Sometimes i go back and play Daxter or Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on my psp, but the psp is so old that i had issues actually connecting it to the internet since it used such old hardware
Imagine paying $8 to read an article just for it to basically lie to your face.
Realese the unfinished original?
Judges the statement about the gran turismo event, proceeds to make essentially the same remark about the psp. Makes sense
Gran turismo on ps2 still looks good that guy is nuts
Perhaps release þe video as an unlisted video on þis channel wiþ a short intro explaining þe historical context of þe and linking here.

After the Remake, I want a Proper Last of Us 2, Cuz it's Joel's Franchise.
They think that they can make games cost $70, so the arrogance from their previous gen success is still there.
I want a PSVita Two.
I guess in the end we benefit from it to a certain extent
I think sony is shifting to use third party devs for non sony ip games at this point which honestly isn’t that bad imo
