The PS3 was pure sovl
It was a beast though, huge. Still the backwards compatibility was god-tier.
Imagine a PS3, but with games.
>>735079917I regret not getting it .My 360 died after 6 months then I got it back after 2 months from fucking Germany and it died again after another 4 months
>>735080169There's a list on /v with 27 games that are still stuck on that consoles
>>735079917It still is. My favorite console of all time. Love its exclusives, luv Demon's and love the fact you can play PS1 and PS2 games on it. Also the custom themes being so customizable was amazing. Using the browser to watch anime and download movies was kino. inFamous and LBP rocked. >>735080004yup>>735080215the 360 is such an unreliable bit of hardware. Even the later revisions whenever I check to buy used consoles they all have some fucking problem. MS hardware has always been pure shit
>>735079917It was a good evolution that unfortunately became a dead end, despite not having any games, I didn't know that console gaming would get worse.I really loved the PS3, the only problem is it wasn'tmarketable enough for Sony to fall for it twice. Having backwards compatibility was a love letter to gamers, have your cake and eat it too.The reboots and platinum editions were also fine, they continued the cultural chain of good IPs and let new players experience them with fidelity.PSP integration was sick as hell, PlayStation online was free, and homebrewing/piracy was totally viable.All of these things are great for consumers but awful for businesses.Rest in peace PS3, I didn't appreciate you enough when I had you.
Is it worth it playing on the original hardware nowadays? Does 30fps look good on a plasma or HD CRT?
>>735079917I used to love the Motorstorm games but sadly thats too fun so it is a dead Franchise
>it is SOULbut is it fun?
>>735079917I love my ps3 but goddamn i don't think I owned a single exclusive outside of gt5, I think i just liked the 7th generation consoles (wii included) as a whole.
Meh, it ended on "passable". Demons' Souls is the only thing on it that was worth paying full price for, but it was okay in the early 10 when you could start getting the console and its games on the cheap.
>>735080004Nigger what backwards compaitability? Early revision ones? That you will be lucky not to have YLOD?Or we talking software one from later revisions? Because that one was pure shit.Or maybe we talking about PS1 titles? Because the PAL/NTSC shennanigans make them work like shit also.
>>735079917The cell processor was the biggest own goal in gaming history. Either just use a normal CPU and get the price down or keep the high price and just have a really powerful cpu so multiplats all run better but instead they chose the worst of both worlds.
>>735080409shut the fuck up nigger the ps3 has a ton of games. Last good gen of Sony.
>>735081336PS1 games run great on every version of the PS3 and if you use CFW you can play PS2 games on any PS3 too. >>735080535Yeah, PS3 looks great on a nice plasma and even better on an HD CRT.
It was the beginning of the end for Playstation.
>>735081779It's the last of the classic consoles. So yes. PS died during the middle of the PS4 generation when they killed Japan Studio.
>>735081779yeah the ps3s shit start scared sony away from innovating and now they just made sony branded pc boxes and safe movie games
>>735081779>>735081854Sort of. I feel like the decline was felt more in real time with Vita. Sony actually used some of their IP on that one and turned tail when it came time to "push" the PS4. I look at games like Tearaway and Gravity Rush, but also established stuff like Wipeout 2048, Killzone Mercenary and Hot Shots Golf World Invitational as the dying gasps, mixed in there with stuff like Bloodborne, The Last Guardian and Gravity Rush 2 on PS4. I'd say it was about 2018 when it all started going irredeemably sour, and aside from the MediEvil remake, Astro Bot, and generously Ghost of Tsushima, Sony has had little of worth to write home about since.
>>735079917WE FLY HIGH, NO LIE, YOU KNOW THIShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NH1iIL4Q3o
>>735079917it got absolutely shit on in the first few years of release, much worse than PS5
>>735084005The internet was way less of a commodified NPCfest back then. It was a better time.
>>735084005well they decided to use new technology driving the price up right before a huge recessionno one could afford the damn thing
>>735084095Sony also couldn't afford to make games for it apparently.
>7th Gen>Soul
I still use component cables with my PS3 because the HDMI output on mine doesn't work unless it goes directly to the TV.
the last great generationps4 era had some playable stuffbut this generation has pretty much just been remakes
Give me some PS3 shit to download, exclusives / 7th gen console exclusives preferred
>>735084389>Last great generation>Dumbed down slop and CODlol>>735084509Tokyo Jungle
>>735079917Fuck off, it was a brick.
>>735079917Gran Turismo 5 needed more events, it barely felt like half the game GT4 was. GT6 was even worse, it didn't even have endurance races or any way to make them.
The 360 took a fat steamy dump on it
>>735084665>Paid online>Forced paid DLC/Game updates>Microtransactions>Every game must be AAA slop or go home>Japanese and PC game hateMicrosoft took a fat steamy dump on everyone and you clapped like a seal.And Snoy followed them to hell
>>735079917Worst multiplats of that genCell processor was retarded, games only six of the eight cores599 US dollarsSony lying about the "1080p dream", most games top at 720 and run terribly in 1080 YLOD>>735080535Not really no. If anything you might get the best image quality playing on a shitty smeary LCD. HD CRTs are also a meme and wreck things like small text.
The PSP was a better successor to the PS2 than the PS3 was.
>>735086410ylod wasnt really their fault it was the trash new solder that microsoft used too
>>735079917Sony died the day the made ps+
>>735086535It still affected the console, doesn't matter whose fault it was. 7th gen in general was an awful time for consoles.
>>735084568>Dumbed downDumbed down in what aspect? Difficulty? PS1 and PS2 games were already extremely easy, so if anything that was the biggest dumbing down from the SNES gen>Muh CodAre you mentally stuck in 2014? Also 7th gen CoD's were goodAlso>recommending some dogshit jap shovelware just because it's japaneseGod, could you be any more of a mindless /v/drone NPC
>>735079917It was the lalast good console s
This is literally the only game I can see myself going back to a PS3 to play, everything else worth playing is available somewhere else
>>735088381>Also 7th gen CoD's were goodlol lmao
>>735079917Literally just the MGS4 machine>worst MGSYes so much soul
>>735079917XMB is the greatest UI ever made.

/v/iggers pretending like it's still 2006 and the console still costs 600 bucks is ridiculous, you probably weren't even alive back then you fucking twats
I recently boughted a used one in very good shape, got me two refurbished original sixaxis controllers, silicon covers and those analog caps toocfw'd that thing in a matter of minutes it's insane how automated it is now, took maybe 20 minutes with setting everything up from start to finishplaying skate 3 and mgs4 atm, good shit
>The required game data is going to be installed to the system storage. Do not turn off the system during the installationNah, it's garbage. I have zero regrets growing up with the Xbox 360.
>>735092003dont forget to buy a hard drive so you can actually save your data!
>>735091301>sold at a loss to shove a fucking blu-ray playerThe cost was driven up because of shoving PS2 internals into it for full back compat., which got stripped out with the slim.
>>735080535it looks awful, no idea why you wouldn't just play the pc version or emulate
>>735091393Seeing how people are still triggered by 599 US DOLLARS 20 years later I think it's safe to say Sony never recovered from that moment. Sad!
>>735091301kek this is really accurate, buying anything off the ps3 marketplace is absolute fucking aids. supposedly it used to be better before they updated it in 2013 or so, but i can't recall>store is laggy as fuck and prone to crashing>pretty sure you can't even use paypal or debit cards anymore??, requiring you to buy a gift card >makes you sit through a long ass loading bar if you want to leave the store after buying something and play a game while it downloads>downloading the game doesn't install it at the same time; meaning you have to sit on the xmb and click each bubble and watch it install, can't do anything else at the same time360's store was really shitty before MS shut it down, but it used to work smooth as butter and didn't make you sit in a million loading bars to download and install shit
>>735092003I liked PS3 more cause online was free and the only reason I actually got one was to play Skate and Demon's Souls, the latter especially as it used to have a small fanbase on this board with semi-regular threads back in 2009 or so
>>735092003>>The required game data is going to be installed to the system storage. Do not turn off the system during the installationas if xbox didn't have game installs>>735092270i only see this on /v/ and xitter so it's probably just faggots trying to show how they know epic 4chan memes from two decades ago despite being 14 years old
>>735081184It has motorstorm, so yes.
>>735092316>pretty sure you can't even use paypal or debit cards anymore??, requiring you to buy a gift cardthe games are free you download them from ps3roms dot comthe other points I don't remember being a hassle back in its heyday but I was a middle school kid so they could do whatever the fuck and I would still play my killzone 2 multiplayer >>735092248I disagree, the reason to get a pee ess triple was to play exclusives mostly, emulating it still sux
>>735092270meanwhile sonys best modern console costs the equivalent of $1000 in 2006 and is fairly outdated spec wise. and that's not even counting their nickel and diming with shit like online fee, disc drive, stand separate etc.
>>735092619back when it was relevant sure? but now? most of the exclusives got ported and the handful left can be emulated on toasters at better quality.emulating it has been good since like 2018 and for ps1/2 games there is also no reason to play on such an outdated system, I tried it years ago and the games just look like absolute shit on modern displays meanwhile any old favela toaster will run them at 4k/60+.
>>735092912I know you can't emulate MGS4 without a beast of a PC and you still have to fuck around with patches and configs anyway. Although I do also know that it looks fantastic emulated on high specs. I play little big planet with my mom and infamous here and there. The XMB I think is the best one out of all consoles to date. Sound design and animations are immaculate. It really felt like a new age getting it back then and I think it still holds up real well. I got it hooked up to my old Bravia plasma teevee and shit just looks good man idk what else to tell you, they are dirt cheap nowadays so why the hell not
>>735088381>PS1 and PS2>Easy>Compared to cinematic 7th Gen trashYou've never finished a single one zoomeroid>7th Gen CODs were goodEverything after World at War is complete fucking trash
>>735092316The PS3 store was fine until they updated it to match the PS4 store's design, which was a horrendous idea because that store design is awful and still laggy even on PS4.
>>735092003No you have it backwards, it's the games that DON'T let you install to the HDD that suck. I installed all my games to the hard drive on my 360 to cut down on load times and I was surprised that's not a default option for PS3.
