Do you have anything to say about the PS3? How does it stack up compared to the PS4 and PS5?

Pretty much every game ran better on the 360.

More worthwhile games than ps4 and 5 combined. Not a single game was ported from ps3 to pc.

i bought one about one year ago, set it up for piracy, bought an unopened controller and opened it, and then did not play a single game on it

>Do you have anything to say about the PS3
It had some pretty cool games by the end of its life. Had a very slow start though. It's now a pretty great piracy machine if you mod it.
>>
>>741277531
It was better for the second half of that gen while 360 was better for the first half. Very similar to how Sega Genesis was better for the first half while Super Nintendo was better for the second half.
>>
Probably shouldn't have existed. It was just a bad 360.
>>
>>741277531
>Do you have anything to say about the PS3?
It's a great and memorable console (due to the massive scandals, unnecessarily complex architecture that filtered nu-soidevs, fuck-ups like PSN hack, memes and gaming culture of the late 2000s to early 2010s, a moment in time when companies were fighting tooth and nail for customers because they wanted to put them in their digital ecosystem going into the 8th gen)
>How does it stack up compared to the PS4 and PS5?
Definitely has more exclusive games, but PS4/PS5 have much better libraries if we are talking about AAA only, especially since games run like dogshit on the ps3 (you get used to it in like 10 minutes)
I still have mine and use it from time to time, I also plan to get the og Xbox and maybe a 360 just to play some games stuck there

>>
>>741277531
Last PlayStation worth owning. It struggled with none but got some decent and unique games by the end of its generation. Even the 3rd person cinematic shit felt kind of novel back then, since it was mostly new and also not the only thing the console had to offer (the novelty wore off quickly though).

PS4 and PS5 are just completely worthless because Sony stopped being able to make video games during their time, doesn't even have anything to do with the hardware or anything. They're just worthless, actual no games machines, Sony only produces trash nowadays and has only really produced trash for well over a decade.

Better features than the PS4 and PS5.
Better UI than the PS4 and PS5.
Better functionality than the PS4 and PS5.
The only thing PS4 and PS5 wins at is just overall technical capability. If you give PS3 the same SSD and GPU and upgrade it's tech, it literally ass rapes and blows PS4 and PS5 out of the water no contest.
t. owned everything from PS1-PS5
>>
>>741281013
Ps4 is really good actually, It's the modern ps2
>>
>>741281149
Also forgot to add, better controller than PS4, although I will say PS5 controller feature wise is better than PS3 controller, but the shitty ass battery life still gives the PS3 a slight edge over PS5 controller. I would charge that shit once and play for a literal week straight, PS5 controller you legit can't even go more than 5-6 hours without needing to charge the shit.
>>
>>741277531
Made me quit consoles but it did have some great games for it. I just couldn't handle the awful performance and slow switch to more cinematic games which plague the industry to this date.

And I had such high hopes for you (lie)
>>
>>741281149
What features and functionality exactly?
I agree the PS5 interface is ass compared to XMB, but otherwise it's an objective upgrade.
Rest mode, background downloads, downloading only a part of the game until it's playable, built-in capture etc.
The best thing about the PS3 (apart from having actual games) is how easy it was to run CFW and homebrew.

Last sovlful console. It has my favorite library of games so I still play it all the time

>>741277894
Total meme. Most games ran about the same on both consoles, people just cherrypick the few truly atrocious ports like Bayonetta

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPywMfc0N8s

If you could stand the performance of one, you could stand the performance of the other. And many games later in the gen like MGR ran better on PS3 with less screen tearing
>>
>>741281828
Well for starters a functioning browser. And said browser let you illegally download porn, movies, tv show episodes, and music without needing a single subscription. Folders and themese still existed which I guess technically they do on PS4 as well but PS5 is a shit show.
>Rest mode, background downloads, downloading only a part of the game until it's playable
These are all nice but they aren't world changing IMO. I'd gladly give up rest mode and background downloads to have a functioning browser, folders, themes, and all the other shit I named above back. With each iteration of the console these faggots take a step back and it's honestly pathetic. If they're all running on the same tech, I'm choosing the PS3 every single time and it's not even a debate.
>>
>>741282912
>Total meme
It's not a meme, but it's almost entirely irrelevant today since all those games got ported to PC at some point.
I doubt anyone is going to buy a 360 over a PS3 these days just to play the better version of RDR when it's on PC.
>>
>>741277531
utterly soulmogs them.
the final ui update makes it run kinda shitty though. the store is basically unusable
>>
>>741280763
>360 inronically had nogaems.

360 had way more titles for the first 2-3 years of the console lifetime, it was only when Microsoft went all-in on Kinect that the 360 got fucked. PS3 not having games was an industry wide running joke.
>>
>>741277531
Depending on who you ask, the 7th gen is either the last good console generation or the first bad one. For me personally it's a bit of both. I had a lot of fun with the PS3 (after it finally got some real games) and it has a very special place in my heart, but objectively I recognize that a lot of the trends killing video games today started around this time.
>>
>>741283640
It's honestly kind of impressive how they managed to redeem themselves after $599 and nogaems.
>>
>>741283496
>the store is basically unusable
I just bought something on there the other day. It's really not as bad as people make it out.
>>
>>741284202
Unless it was your first generation it's obvious that 7th gen was the transition point from classic consoles to what we have now, so it's simultaneously the last good generation and the first bad generation.
>>
It's funny how Wii was the best selling console of the generation when its library was 99% shovelware with only a few decent titles that hold up
>>
>>741277894
But any extra content is a useless download code. Meanwhile I can play doom 2 or resident evil 5 mercenaries reunion off of the Blu-ray. Also came here to say ps3 has a better library than ps4 and 5 combined.
>>
>>741277531
Nintendo oldtroons hate this thing because they can't accept it's more beloved than the wii and has games unlike wii. It's a good console however, better than PS4 and PS5 for sure.

RDR1 is one of those outliers like Bayonetta 1. Also lots of people still play these consoles. Most PC ports from that generation are terrible

>''That said, after the first wave of games, the differences tend to be minute''
You should read your own link lol. This is literally what I said, there was not much difference in most games, and if you could tolerate one, you could tolerate the other

There was a bigger gulf in performance between OG Xbox and PS2 and no one says PS2 was unplayable back in the day
>>
>>741288215
Learn the definition of outlier please, there are way too many examples to call these games outliers.
Even GTA V which, unlike IV looked practically identical on 360 and PS3 still ran a bit better on 360.

>>741288684
I actually preferred the look of GTA 5 on PS3 over 360.

Purely in terms of colour palette it's still the best version imho, the PS4/PC version had the anti-soul gas.

Yes, games that ran terrible on PS3 compared to 360 like Bayo 1 are outliers, it would be disingenuous to imply that it was the norm. Most games ran about the same on both platforms.

>>741288907
The differences are minute, as your own page says. Now you wanna shift goalposts to visual differences, but in your own cherrypicked image I can't even tell apart which version of RDR1 is which lol

> a lot of the late multiplats are downright unplayable on the ps3 with sub 20 fps.
Which of the multiplats that ran at sub 20fps on PS3 didn't also run at sub 20fps on 360?

Stop coping and trying to rewrite history, it was practically every multiplatform game until 2010, even Skyrim was significantly better on 360.
None of it even matters today, the PS3 is carried by its exclusives.
>>
>>741277531
still has a pretty decent catalogue of holdout exclusives with some genre variety. folklore, siren blood curse, infamous 1/2, drakengard 3, motorstorm apocalypse among others. not the most earth shattering exclusive catalogue but it does keep the console from slipping into complete irrelevancy. I also liked how the HD collections were handled back then, where they remastered full franchises in one package from the PS2 back catalogue. probably the only time I felt remasters were justifed.

A lot of the big first party ones like Uncharted and TLOU got remasters, the PS3 itself got a lot of PS2 HD remasters like the first two God Of War games, Ico and SoTC.
You can check out some more obscure ones like Tokyo Jungle and Trash Panic.

>>741290279
If anything the screenshot doesn't do it justice and makes them look more similar than they actually are, the PS3 version is lower resolution sub 720p with worse anti aliasing, worse draw distance, way less grass and other decorations and drops to 20 or less fps regularly in heavier scenes.

Remember to open up your PS3 and replace the thermal paste on the CPU (and replace the WiFi chip on your Slim/Super Slim as it's likely burnt out by now or getting close to dying). Doesn't matter what model it is, a PS3 with dried up thermal paste is a PS3 that's not long for this world.

With CFW you can monitor the temperatures and mine is not overheating (yet).

You unironically didn't beat the game unless you've cleared Dark Souls on PS3 without skipping Blight Town.

>How does it stack up compared to the PS4 and PS5?

Of these Ps4 stacks the best. With Ps3 you can stack 3 or four of them tops before it wobbles. Ps5 can't be stacked at all, they slide off each other right away.

Ps1 was moderately stackable but the Ps2 is the stack king.

You're just embarrassing yourself at this point, it's a well established fact multiplatform titles were worse on PS3, you're the only one trying to deny it.
It's not even about the hardware, Microsoft provided better tools and documentation to developers compared to Sony.
For example there's no game that looks as good as TLOU on 360, but that was way at the end of the generation, for most of the 7th gen 360 was leading.

One of the best consoles ever once modded.

>Most consoles can do CFW, and a select few can do HEN. They're practically the same if your goal is just to play pirated games, with the difference being HEN takes 5 seconds to enable after boot.
>First FAT model can natively play real PS2 disks and downloaded ISOs, later models do software emulation but a majority of good PS2 games work fine
>Can use it with a CRT for watching older 480p media (Netflix actually used to work until last year)

I will say though, if we're not factoring in the fact that most of us have gaming PCs that can max out (or emulate) every game on these consoles, I would say a JTAG/RGH or BadAvatar 360 would be better since multiplats did run better. RDR1 for example had AWFUL motion blur that isn't on the 360 verison, purely just to mask the framerate. The problem is the 360 has various models that lack WIFI or even HDMI ports, while every PS3 model works out of the box.
>>
>>741294585
>has various models that lack WIFI or even HDMI ports
Practically all of those are dead by now
>>
>>741294585
Biggest problem is that the PS3 can only output 480i through analog and it cannot output 240p at all.
>>
>>741294141
In your own graph the 360 version drops to 24fps and is below the PS3 version half the time. Anyway there's no point doing this because you can make endless screencaps of any comparison showing whatever you want

Only the early ones, mid-late gen are basically the same shit
And even the early ones didn't run so much bad, it was skewed by awful ports like Bayonetta, which doesn't even use the SPUs properly as you can see in RPCS3. You even have some games that makes 0 use of SPUs, like Oblivion, and still ran better than 360 somehow.
>>
>>741277531
Still play mine, unironically I have nothing but a 360 and ps3 and the titles are good if you just stop getting into current stuff that comes out.
Notably I played the first two resistances and it was a rollercoaster I couldnt find in modern titles of recent memory like resident evil village and resident evil 4 remake.

>>741287053
nah, most run about the same. You even had stuff like GTA V that runs better on PS3 (it would stutter all the time on 360 due to slow DVD and somehow even slower HDD, and would only run decently if you installed it on a flashdrive - was even worse in GTAO)

That goes for the entire generation. There's basically no reason to not play Wii/PS3/360 games on a PC. Dolphin is basically perfect, RPCS3 plays basically everything at much better fps and resolution, and Xenia is there to cover the rest that isn't ported already.
>>
>>741299181

Not even remotely true lol. Most PC ports from that era are atrocious. RPCS3 isn't ideal outside of Demon's Souls, and Xenia is even worse
