Console modder and YouTuber Jon Bringus figured out how to playValve’s early development hero shooter Deadlock on PS4. Achieving this goal was both painful and completely impractical.
That all takes a lot of patient fiddling. But there’s still more time to waste. After spending hours trying to install Deadlock to his zombified PS4, Bringus sits through several 20-minute long Linux reboots and crashes until — finally! — he makes it to the Deadlock menu.
The menu is in 360p. He has to render it down to 144p before he starts playing.
“It’s barely hanging on, but we’re here,” he says, sounding like there are tears in his eyes. “I’m scared to even move the mouse.”
Deadlock does what Valve didn’t get around to with Counter-Strike, turning the hero shooter’s cheaters into frogs.
