A few years ago I heard the PS2 start up sound for what must have been the first time in 10-15 years and the wave of emotional was incredible, I have never felt anything like it. It was more than nostalgic, because for a brief moment all the emotions the PS2 used to make feel came flooding back. It really was otherworldly.

[@devonhedinger4132]

Absolutely well said

[@sayno2lolzisback]

@@Frogstomp27 It really did feel like something from another universe back in the day! It was such a huge quantam leap forward for games. I suddenly felt like anything could be possible, and all the games at the time reflected that. So much diversity, choice and cool ideas. Nowadays....

​@@sayno2lolzisbackyeah ps2 games are the best still lol. Every game was vastly unique. Now I can't find any games like them

[@OmniwalkFR]

[@blackheavyblans]

[@RickyHadou]

Mah childhood…. The PS2 was a huge part of my life during my early teens. I swear, gaming was different back in those days. There was something absolutely magical about the PS2. From the start up, the games, you can just tell it was the next generation in gaming (at the time). Unfortunately, playing the console nowadays will never emulate the times I had back then, but I can relive the best parts only in my memories. Hearing the waves in the background and seeing those glowing orbs dance around in the darkness will always bring me back. Sony really knocked it out of the park with the PS2. There’s a reason it’s STILL the best selling console of all time. In my opinion, it will always be the best console.

[@Zarathinius]

I don't like to put on the rose-tinted glasses and assume everything I liked as a teenager was The Best Ever, but man... the PS2 really was a high-water mark for a certain era of video gaming that I'm not sure we'll see again. Sure, I had fewer worries and cares in those days and I could just enjoy my silly video games in peace, which makes the memory feel warmer and nostalgic. But the industry that makes games and consoles has changed forever, in very real ways.

[@RickyHadou]

@@Zarathinius well said, brother. I agree with all of this wholeheartedly. I’m sure some of it is nostalgia, but there’s just something about the PS2’s mystique. True, it came at a part of my life where I had no struggles or worries, but the fact remains gaming just hit different back then. Definitely a era we’ll probably never have again.

[@sharkpuppet2381]

[@Franzinho_0802]

I'm normally someone very optimistic without falling in ingenuity, so, when people say: "the world is a worst place now". No, not exactly, we were all more innocent before, thats it But, when I see these things, these kind of menus that the old consoles had, Its one of the things that really make me sad because those are not coming back, the ps4/ps5 or the Xbox dont have these kind of menus anymore, idk why, but that magic really disappeared...

[@jblask2]

I agree. As much as I love the current PS5 it's menu has so much content which on one hand is great but on the other hand it's kind of over stimulating.

[@pinkkmatcha]

It's a different world now. I agree, it feels sad. It feels worse at times. It feels we have lost the old one. We can still get lost in these worlds on KZbin though. We can find peace here, and it is all preserved. Such a special time we had before, wasn't it? I'm so glad we're all here.

[@SoftBoiledArt]

In case isn't obvious, since the western market (tried to) domitate the market shareholders are the target audience, not players. More than that, there was a debate about games being art or not, and Japan was trying to make "a point" with tittles like ICO or SH. There's no 2023 equivalent to SH2, the "artistry" of modern "classics" like Bioshock it's at the level of depth of Tim Burton movies if anything. Also, gaming in console was mostly a solitary experience, reflected on the games, the menu ambience, etc. No Tropies or DMs. So, in short yes boomer nostalgia is cringe but the console market is one of the things that absolutely gone downhill, like, objectively developers aren't even wanting to do something good. What you're hearing is introspection and mystery, nothing you'll find in current times

When I was a child, I heard this sound on ps2 for the first time, it was scary and strange, but for some reason I liked it and I don't know how to explain my feeling, but I was feeling nostalgic for something even though I'm a child and I don't know why and it made me miss something

[@Sigurjon96]

That's because it's mysterious and magical in the best form possible. It's like being in a dark void and having feelings of safety and comfort but also it has nostalgic vibes to it because for some people playing on PS2 was their childhood. Mine was like that. Maximum beauty in a video game console. It's so relaxing and hypnotizing and brings up all sorts of good memories from an earlier and a simpler time when holding a controller felt special. Early 2000's was so amazing and legendary in fact the whole decade was.

[@liamp6491]

This vibe is what current technology/GUI/consoles lack. The ethereal and contemplative...now, its just about stimulation and quick entertainment. Why can't we go back to this? Is it less accessible? Have we cheapened our experience with technology by making it too accessible? Is this technology just too ubiquitous? What can we do as we move forward to build in a sense of awe and wonder about life, about science, about nature? How can technology inspire and motivate us to become better and more aware? How can we use technology to evolve, rather than relying on it as a crutch?
