>launched in Japan on November 11, 2006The PS3 is officially 20 years old today.
>>751418270They need to add 7th gen to /vr/
>>751418340retro is a specific styleretro is not "x years old"
Old snake flashback moment
>>751418384Wrong
>>751418384So its retro
>"retro"fag immediately begins his arbitrary copingkek
>>751418340I wondered if /vr/ was going to have a thread over this exact point. Doesn't look like there is, though it would absolutely be a shitfest if there was.
>>751418340Do this just for the oldfag larping
Favorite PS3 games? For me it's Demons' Souls and Folklore.
>>751418384Everything before 2012 (more specifically October 28, 2011, when we entered the "cosmic waiting room" on the way to the fifth world which began in December 21, 2012) is retro.
>>751418764Shut up already man
>>751418615Ar Tonelico jankino
>>751418764schizo ass post
>>751418384Elaborate. What style is that? Let me guess. Something something you know it when you see it?
>>751418764meds, now.
>>751418384You're speaking the truth but words have no meaning these days and sooner than later some mix of ebonics/latino street slang,internet brain rot meme language will be the new English.
>>751419440Low poly 3d graphics and pixel art>>751418340NO, 20 YEARS OLD IS YOUNGZOOMERS ARE YOUNG
Play Playstation Home
I think it's wild how you can still get every Fatal Frame and Megaman Legends game for $10 each on the PS3 store. This shit came from a different universe.
>>751419640I loved it and miss it so fucking much
>>751421106It's back online, go play it.
>>751421342What?
It’s good as a DVD/Blu Ray player, but not for much else.
>>751421975>he doesn't knowhttps://play.pshomecentral.net/
>>751418270>Playstation's decline began 20 years agoPS has been shit for longer than the time it was good.>>751418340Old doesn't mean retro. The paradigm hasn't changed since, almost 30 years. Like gen 6, the 7th gen has more in common with modern gaming than retro gaming, far more than gen 6. ffs you think a hdmi system is retro?! Ludicrous
>>751418270And still, not a single game.
>>751422204Shit, before I make an account how much of the original Home is playable? I unironically want to replay Mercia
>>751418492The board didn't reckon gen 6 as retro, that was mods of the time forcing it. So you barely see any post retro gaming thread in there and only because they accept that particular gen 6 topic as good stuff, not by virtue of time passed>>751418764>>751418821>>751419389This
>>751422290Shit's gotten so bad with Sony these days that one of its few exclusives is a fucked remake of a PS3 game in Demons' Souls. PS5 literally forced people to acknowledge that PS3 had a game. Grim.
>>751418384This is true, but >>>/vr/ is ran by retards who only card about how old stuff is.
>>751418270IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO TODAYKUTARAGI TOLD THE CELL TO NOT PLAY
SONY I'M GETTING PISSED600 BUCKS I PAID FOR THISPLAYSTATIONHAS NO FRICKEN GAMES
>>751422498Beatles reference.
>>751422428A lot of the original Home is playable now but some stuff has been lost or not been implemented. Mercia unfortunately is not implemented as most of the things were server sided if I'm not mistaken but a lot of other stuff works like the Salt Shooter game and whatnot. That link is for the browser version, you can login and play but it's limited compared to an actual PS3 or the emulator, I think some of the minigames won't work. If you really want to explore it I recommend using the emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxrCJ2mnOKshttps://homeheadquarters.net/There are other servers but they require joining discord and asking to join which is gay.
>>751418270And Skyrim is 15 years old today. 11/11/11
Where does the time go?
>>751422498No-games reference.
>>751422824I'm rich enough to do that in 2013. That would've cost maybe $300 after tax.
>>751422763>Mercia unfortunately is not implementedCowabummer. I'll still give it a try
>>751418340We just need a vintage game board. Let retro be for consoles design with crt tvs in mind.
>>751422941I miss when the price of consoles went down a few years after release.
>>751423251Wait a few years; there will be enough gens and content to have an entire board for current gaming
>Xbox 360 rushes to market a year before PS3>Is a roaring success >RRoD>Microsoft throws fuck ton of money at the problem and manages to get it resolved (mostly) within a few years>PS3 meanwhile had the most embarrassing launch up until that point>Literally no gamez and too fucking expensive>Microsoft rides high and decides they want the soccer mom audience>Makes Kinect and waggleshit party games >Is actually a success but doesn't realize it's a curse in disguise>PS3 slims down their hardware and sells the console at a reasonable price>Got that one goofy looking dude who was admittedly charismatic in commercials>Also try to get the waggleshit audience>Fails>"Eh. Alright then.">Doesn't realize it's a blessing in disguise>Start going ham on 1st party games while Xbox 360 is slowing in momentum >PS3 actually starts picking up more momentum the more games it gets>Caps off the generation with TLOU and ends up just outselling the 360Also, it was something I made fun of back then because LOL MOVIES but genuinely these days I think it's awesome how multi-media friendly the PS3 is. You could just straight up download movies and shows from the internet browser and watch them. Sony would go on to gimp the internet browser in their consoles so that you couldn't do shit like that anymore and it's becoming a sticking point now that more people are waking up to things like media ownership.The XMB was simple and you could get to what you needed quickly. I liked how a lot of games had a preview trailer and music that would play if you hovered over it. I remember Dragon's Dogma had a mini trailer and Coils of Light playing.I still think 7th gen introduced a lot of cancer that has morphed or mutated into problems we're still facing today, but the PS3 being able to save itself in the latter half of the gen while also being genuinely the best console to this day for digital media sharing, downloading, and ownership is pretty neat, looking back on it.
>>751418270>The PS3 is officially 20 years old today.Then fuck off to /vr/ grandpa
>>751424220>greentextAnd the cherry on top was that despite all of that PS3 was a financial failure. In-fucking-sane
>>751418615I don’t play video games, I just bitch about black peoples and Jews
>>751418384Retro is CRT era. This is why the Wii is retro, as it was intended for being displayed on a CRT, whereas the PS360 are not retro. This is the eternal rule that shall never fade as long as heaven and earth still exist.
>>751424753The early 360s only had analog output, and both the 360 and PS3 have analog output.
>>751423460We live in clown world.
>>751424753Most of us were playing PS3 on CRTs retardbro
>>751425153I LOVE clown world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGJ9-1LWFtE
>>751418270A toast! To 20 years of no games!
>>751423460The used video game market is no longer a market for used media, it's a market for toy collectors. The kind of people that have vintage GI Joe and Star Wars collections.
>>751425058360 doesn't have native CRT output, the resolution is designed for HDMI but rushing it out forced them to skip it
>>751425285It had those PS2 HD collections.
>>751418270>tfw 33 years old
>>751425153If the consumer is retarded and pays for it...
>>751425058He didn't say anything about HDMI retard.
>>751425393nigger it came with av cables its entire life defaults to 480i
>>751418270And it sucks to this very day.
>>751425516And because the resolution wasn't meant for them the text became microscopic.
>>751425058>>751425216I knew you idiots were gonna bring this up as if it were a valid point. Remember the horrible tiny text in Dead Rising? Those consoles were first and foremost designed for flatscreen hdtvs whereas the Wii is completely and entirely designed around a CRT. How do I know this? Because I was actually there. The Wii has builtin antiflicker for CRT displays that make the image look like complete unacceptable dogshit on LCD screens that you can't turn off, and the input lag of flatscreen tvs of the time made many games nigh unplayable when using the pointer and motion controls.
>>751425415I joke but it does still have:>3D Dot Game Heroes>OG Demon's Souls>Drakengard 3>Infamous 1 and 2>LittleBigPlanet 1 and 2>Resistance Trilogy>Tokyo JungleMore than can be said for the PS4 and PS5, the former of which legitimately has no games.
>>751425967It has a lot more than that. Not only exclusives but games that are console exclusives where you either have the PS3 version or some other console, usually the 360 and then you have games that are also available on PC but the console version is slightly different or has proper controller support like Dragon Age Origins for example. And then you have extremely obscure games like Shiki-Tei, Aquanaut's Memory and other games that never make into any list of exclusive PS3 games still stuck on the PS3. Thankfully most of that can be accessed through RPCS3 these days to the point I completely retired my old PS3.
>>751425924Okay, and I could point to a game like Oblivion where the text and UI in the menus is too big in widescreen in HD.
>>751427202>text too big>mfw
>>751427502Yeah, it's actually one of the most popular mods for the game on PC because it makes inventory management a pain. You can only see like 5 or 6 items per page.
>>751427702It's Oblivion, you don't need more than 2 or 3 items in your inventory.
>>751427702>too small>too bigIn today's episode of "faggots will complain about anything"
