Don't have time so not watching it. What does he say?
And unless it's full BC that at the minimum matches PLAYSTATION 3 launch system (full disc support), it's a downgrade and a load of garbage.

they'll never let you insert an old disc and play the game on a ps5. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Yeah ps3 would be the big one.
One positive is if he is right, then they are looking into emulating old games so maybe ps3 emulation from sony might not be farfetched.

A full on PS2 emulator with disc support and proper scaling would be a wet dream come true.

PSX disc/digital support and PS3 support is all I want. Since sony does absolutely nothing that I want these days they are prob going all in on PS2 Classics I'm pretty much done with PS2 at this point which IMO actually aged worse than PSX I find it hard to go back to seventh generation in general.

Great news if true, but if it's anything like PS1/PSP, the library won't end up expanding all that much. Relying on Sony to get your classic fix is a fools errand, emulate or keep your PS2.
Never going to happen, PS5 can't read CDs, and I do not think it can feasibly run PS3 games.

They really need to improve the PS1 emulator as well. I’d be happy with a PS2 emulator with those games being added to Premium.

I remember facepalming when I tried toy story 2 when the new service launched, and seeing buzz's spin meter not draw properly...
like you had near flawless emulation on fucking PS3.

Ps3 emulation on PS5 will be a great event. I know they can figure it out

So, does this mean a PS2 mini is in the works?

That would be kinda neat if I could put in my disks. I prefer to play my old games on original hardware but laziness can easily get the best of me. I suppose I would benefit from the games that are on plus. Anyway, I have no idea who this guy is so not holding my breath for anything.

PS3 is near to impossible at this point. Only reverse engineering the PS3 CPU, but taking into account this new Jin about trashing their legacy.
Even the emulator for PC requires a loads of housepower and PS5/Series X struggling to run some games at high resolution and stable frame rate, besides their first party of course.
PS2 would be more believable. PS2 have a vast catalogue of games, PS2 can run PS1 games so you can both release PS1/PS2 games. If the rumors are right, Sony would fix their mix bag PS2 emulator on PS4 and even replace their horrible PS1 emulator since PS2 emulator would run PS1 games.

I would love to have access to native PS3 games on my PS5 like Xbox. And be able to buy them if needed so they're not just on the network.

Perhaps they can port over the Xbox one

The PS2 emulator on PS4 was complete dogshit. Multiple PS2 games are completely broken on PS5.

Wanker? Mystic Ryan is just a chill dude who covers PlayStation on YouTube. I don't even think Sony sends him anything despite his solid and consistent coverage.

The PS3 had a pretty kick-ass PS2 emulator. Granted it ran native PS2 resolution etc, but it offered smoothing at least. The modding scene was able to hack it to make it compatible with even more games.

Never happening. Sony want to use their legacy titles to fuel the library available on their subscription service.

This guy is not an insider and he isn't worth listening to. He looks up news stories and then regurgitates them... There's a whole industry for this.
Gaming journalism is a joke, but he isn't even that...

The number of people who actually care about ps2 and ps3 compatability is like .001 percent... It gets a lot of buzz here on the forums, but even among the people who clamor for it, they aren't actually putting serious time in on the old games.

Sony kinda hinted at it during the E3 when they announced the PS5. They showed this infographic which leaves room for the imagination.
There was room for stuff at the bottom, but I think it was just a weird chipset graphic. The previous slide shows PS3 with the PS2 chipset added.

It's kinda obvious... They would have to add a disc reader capably of understanding the ps2 piracy protection... That not o Lu would add cost(those thing are ancient) and maybe that it's not even feasible.
If they just slap a emulator people will just play burned disc's for their favorite games.

Hes literally just a dude talking games and sharing the stuff he likes and does, not sure why anyone would take issue with him lol.

It's so sad that they can't even match open source emulators capabilities. Their PS1 emulator should be able to upscale to 4K, fix perspective/polygon issues, have a "no dithering" option, different forms of texture filtering, etc.
I really hope they can get a PS2 emulator working too so i hope Mystic is right.
And it would be crazy if they could release a PS1/PS2 disc reader as an addon like they want to do with the rumored detachable disc drive.

Since we are pulling numbers from...where...I'd think its more than .001 percent....maybe even 1000s of times more. I just put away my PS3 a couple months ago to move on to PS4 games and I'm already thinking its time to hook that grillmaster back up.

The OG PS3 already refused to read burned PS2 games, this is a non issue for them or at least should be easy to replicate.
