I've recently been watching some of your videos. And it convinced me to revisit these systems again. So at the beginning of last month I got myself a PlayStation 2. And just this week I picked up a PlayStation 3 for a bargain. Got a few of my favourite titles too. Thanks for the videos.
I did the same thing recently and while I plan on repurchasing the big exclusives stuck on last gen, I’ve been trying to look for more obscure gems in the vain of Tokyo Jungle or forgotten gems like Dark Sector. Any recommendations?
@@RiGrêmioNetoo I will upload a video in a few of playing Resistance on my PS3 emulator at native 4k/60 you'll see it's drastically better looking than on PS3 hardware.
I've had a Japanese ps3 fat since 2006. It still works today, it was stored for a long time in its box. I turned it on again because today's games aren't as fun as they used to be. I want to buy a ps3 slim so I can keep my first ps3 and put it on a shelf to protect it from the elements. Recently I've been collecting ps3 accessories, it's a great hobby.
Thanks to Kevin's videos I hooked up my PS3 Slim and have been playing the first Saw game. It isn't a great game, but it isn't that bad. Decent graphics and it is kinda like playing a game version of Saw 4 or 5.
still playing my ps3 alot, playing online games like RDR1, dead island riptide, cod black ops, assassins creed 4, tomb raider, payday 2, PVZ garden warefare, NFS rivals, destiny, borderlands, skate 3 and GTA IV. still many games going strong. socom confrontation as well. I feel more love and pride put into this era vs new releases, personally the PS3 is my favourite system of all time. still holds up. At nearly 300 physical games now for it and counting
For PS2 I was hooked on Twisted Metal Black. For PS3 besides COD I was hooked on Castlevania Lords Of Shadow. The ending took me by surprise. I didn't know you were playing Dracula the whole time but when he was a good guy.
True spoken. I go back to my PS1/2/3/4 semi-often. In fact, I'm playing *Dues Ex: Human Revolution* on my PS3 right now, because I played the normal version I've had years ago, but I recently got the Director's Cut, so I had to check that out. It looks/plays great on my 4k TV. Before that, I played PS2's Summoner on my PS5. I mix it up - play newer then older. I'm learning I like going back to my older games slightly better (pre-online), before the era of releasing broken games.
As a happy owner of PS3 slim, I am after trophies this time playing all those amazing games out there. Never reached platinum trophy, coz I never paid attention to it. I was glad to obtain some trophies, but until recent years I haven’t thought of finishing any game on 100%. That has changed and now I am a trophy hunter. PS3 is a golden console, always has been, always will be.
I still use my PS3 to play dvds! It’s the only console that always remembers where you left off on a disc - even after changing discs. Not even my PS5 can do this 🙄
The Xbox 360 and PS3 had enough power for game developers to have their imaginenations run wild. Everything after Xbox 360 and PS3 was just sharper and better lighting.
And bloodborne, ghost of tsushima, uncharted 4, arkham knight, doom eternal, the witcher 3 (remake), middle earth shadow of war (remake), god of war 3 (remake), shadow of the colossus (remake). Probably some other good ones but that's my excuse for getting a ps4. The remakes are great. Those listed in particular that is.
The era when developers were not lazy. Ps4 managed to somehow survived. Ps5 is the end of console gaming. Ps6 is going to be a bigger joke at this point.
Some games I'd like to recommend if you haven't played or got them already: The Darkness 1 & 2 - Available on PS3 and Xbox360 Condemned 1 & 2 - 1 is only on the Xbox360 but 2 is on both 360 and PS3
My PS3 collection has been growing to an insane ammount. Unfortunately, my old TV recently just died, so I can't play the console until I get a new one. Plus, I will have to look for a HDMI adapter for the PS2, since newer TV's don't use old school cables.
I got a big 2TB hard drive full of PS3 games off of Etsy that I can't wait to hack my PS3 for so I can play them. It was actually a really good deal for what I got and apparently the PS3 is easy to hack. With the component output, I can hook the PS3 up to my Retrotink 5X so I can play in higher resolutions than what was intended.
I had/still have a medium level PC from the PS4/XBox One era, and eventually got a Switch in 2020. Just recently got myself a PS4 Pro and a bunch of cheap, brand new must-play complete-edition games . In my opinion the games were on a track to continue getting better through that generation, but those large game companies actively screwed it up. Ignoring season passes and what CoD franchise had already been doing on 360/PS3 .. I'd say the downward spiral started with SWBF2 - that dabbling with greed and getting gamers to pay extra to access already-paid-for content earlier- that was the one significant event that all the other c-suites decided to copy in some form. Their end game is $120 games, and to have full control over the sales price (hence digital-only) to avoid cheap used-game and very low cost game purchased as new, years after the game release.
To bad I don't have a PC that being said. I have just bought a PS3 slim for 70£ and got some proper old school games that I never got round to playing WET Fear 1 and 2 Dead space 2 and a few others 😊
Been playing emulation the past month been great. Recently been playing viewtiful joe 2, xman legends 2,metal gear twin snakes,star fox adventures, mad world. Add hd textures, 4k n 60 frames these games look amazing.
I have a ps5 and ps3 hooked up to a projector with a hdmi splitter and there's barely any difference, indistinguishable, apart from the price to play...
the fact we can emulate a PS3 in PC today is wild enough but ultimately the system itself is also great (when it works) i also got an XBOX360 E (Corona board) for free , which means soon i'll have to try to mod it.
Re-brought a physical ps3 a few weeks ago, purely so I can replay GTA4, and now have 6 games for it and can’t stop playing, if it wasn’t for GTA6 coming out I’d get rid of my ps5
I know this video is about Emulation, but Thanks to some brilliant people it's now possible to Overclock a CFW PS3. It won't give you a higher resolution, but it will give more stable framerates. Combine that with an SSD and you get Better Load Times + Higher FPS. It's the best way to play on Original Hardware. The only downside is of course Overclocking can be risky and also only Slims should do it cause Phat PS3s are unreliable.
@@wingedassassin9999 emulation could never replace the feeling of a physical console. Playing on a tv sitting back on your couch is the superior way hands down. Having both as an option is great. I emulate, but I still have a massive collection.
@@Scruffytuba You can do that with a PC. For example, installing SteamOS instead of Windows lets you interact with only a controller instead of a mouse/keyboard. You can plug that to a TV and it's like playing with a real console. Now I do find the physical console better (for now) because emulation is still maturing but all my games are backups inside the consoles internal storage, I do not have a single physical game because there is no need. If I want to read the manuals I can see the high quality PDFs online.
@@Manic_Panic there isnt one human being that isnt being completely unserious that will say plugging a PC into a TV is the same experience. Tried that with my gaming rig on my 75". It was a horrible experience. Console games are made for TV and PC could never.
emulation is thr future fornolder titles. preserving them and being able to play them. while the digital store is leaving ps3 and physical copies doesnt make any sense, emulation will do the trick. dont get me wrong, its not about priating those titles. it will be the only way + better features than the OG hardware. ps4 with Shadps4 and recently Xbox one with Wireone. god bless the developers
ps3 store in turkey has really cheap localized prices and it has really good exclusive titles and its the console i had at its time but on equal grounds 360 is much better just look at RDR differences

360/Wii/PS3, the last true generation of gaming.
It was a time when devs created some of the greatest games. It felt like an extension of the 6th Gen after ps2.

You can mod them, add your own isos. Mr Mario on TH-cam does the best tutorials on modding consoles
If there were better online support for the old consoles Ps5 would go down the tubes
if they see your comment, they are gonna kill the tiny bit of the leftover support we still have :O
Lol no it wouldn't
Yeah, the ps5 sucks nuts.
PS3 and Xbox 360, still rocking both in 2024. The last great generation of gaming.
The graphics look really good still on ps3
Because he's playing via emulator on PC. Actual PS3 hardware, looks like ass. Barely 720p and around 20fps

@@RiGrêmioNetoo I am not lying. PC emulation allows resolution increases, uncapped fps and mods like texture packs and things like reshade.

Uncharted 3 online 3 vs 3 vs 3 was the best!!! I miss it. This should be a standard mode across all multiplayer games.
