When the PS5 is horizontal, discs are inserted the traditional way, with the label side facing up. It seems that whenever the PS5 is vertical, discs must be inserted “upside down” that is to say, with the label side facing down. Thankfully, a quick Google search was able to steer me in the right direction. I panicked when the PS5 failed to read the disc, and my concern grew as I tried other game discs, only to encounter the same result. I’m still tossing up what to do in that regard as there are advantages to having a PS4 on hand, especially since I’m still covering NBA 2K21 Current Gen. Perhaps it’s only fitting though, given that the reason I opted for the more expensive PS5 model with the disc drive was so that I could play my PS4 games on it, and possibly clear some shelf space by storing the PS4 and having the PS5 replace it. Ironically, it’s the first disc I’ve used in my PS5, as the Mamba Forever edition of NBA 2K21 Current Gen gave me a free digital copy of the Next Gen version, and I haven’t picked up any other PS5 games as yet. I’ve got the console, I’ve got the game, so let’s combine them to take a look back…way back…įiring up my PlayStation 5, I inserted the NBA 2K14 disc. Nevertheless, I’m interested to see how the game performs on the new console, as well as run a general compatibility test for the PS5. It won’t address bugs or AI quirks, and it’s not going to add the depth and features that were sorely missed. Obviously, the PlayStation 5 isn’t going to enhance the gameplay of NBA 2K14. There’s something poetic about it, on top of the usual appeal of firing up old releases on new tech a certain novelty in addition to the curiosity. Normally I wouldn’t revisit a game so soon – especially after writing what was intended to be an in-depth retrospective – but the idea of testing out the PS5’s backwards compatibility with a PS4 launch title is too tempting to pass up. This week, I’m revisiting NBA 2K14 for PlayStation 4, on my PlayStation 5.Īhead of the new generation of consoles launching and the release of NBA 2K21 Next Gen, I posted a retrospective of NBA 2K14 the launch title for the previous generation.
