Minecraft’s block-based tools have been used by an old-school gamer to rebuild the PlayStation 2 system. In the year 2000, Sony released their second game console, the PlayStation 2, which went on to become an enormously popular piece of technology. Back in 2020, gamers discovered that Sony’s PS5 design had been directly lifted from a Minecraft creation. Minecraft, Mojang’s most popular game, provides players with the tools to create an infinite number of digital structures. Many different materials have been used since the game’s introduction to create new constructions based on the imagination of players or to re-create real-world structures.
In addition, Mojang continues to support the game, which means that players can always expect exciting new materials to play with. Programming unique blocks like lights and pistons may be done with the Redstone mechanism in Minecraft. Despite the fact that the game was released in 2009, users are still putting their own unique spin on it. As an example, a Minecraft version of Avatar’s Southern Air Temple serves as a fitting tribute to the Nickelodeon series. Reddit user JustToBrowse3 recently revealed a Minecraft rendition of the PlayStation 2 as a way of paying homage to the game’s past.
It’s only fitting that the huge sculpture is based on a terrain that’s as flat as the classic console. Sony’s classic hardware has been properly re-created, although in a minimalistic form. Typography, memory cards, power buttons, and the PlayStation logo are all exactly where they were on the PS2. JustToBrowse3’s PS2 Minecraft build may not be able to run popular PS2 games like Metal Gear Solid 3 or Jak & Daxter, but it still evokes fond memories for many. The black and white aesthetic of the PlayStation 2 has gone down in gaming history, and many enthusiasts seem oddly motivated to build their own version of the machine out of Legos. Last year, a LEGO PS2 console Idea campaign was launched, with the objective of making a concept design into an official LEGO set.
There is no better way to replicate Sony’s early 2000s system than by building an exact 1:1 copy of it, which includes a wired controller. A whopping 1941 parts go into the to-scale recreation, resulting in an astonishing degree of realism. The PlayStation 2 by JustToBrowse3 is a charming throwback for any old-school player who loves Minecraft as a base. With its block-based structure, the PS2 version of Survival Sandbox manages to pack in a respectable level of detail. The disc reader on this PlayStation 2 may be superior to the original PS2 despite the fact that it does not operate.
