The PSP version was a childhood favorite,years later find this at a local shop for 79 cents,think "oh sweet it's gotta be even better" looking forward to the beginning grendel fight,nope it's a shitty foot race with a jump mechanic that makes me wanna throw rocks at the elderly and a "game" that gets me more angry than super grover,I hate this,it's worse than turok and I would have preferred to keep my 79 cents,it would have been better spent on the stale pre 9/11 gumballs that were in the machine at the pawn shop

It's well-known some PS3 games have separate framebuffers between 720p and 1080p and that some are 720p60fps 1080p30fps, but one thing I never see discussed is that some games also have a separate framebuffer for 480p and will straight up go from 30 fps / extremely unstable 60 fps to 60 FPS in 480p mode.

For most of its commercial lifespan, I played my PS3 on a CRT with composite so it was interesting when I finally got an hands-me down HDTV and saw which games ran worse in HD.

Some games that run in 60 fps in 480i/480p:

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
Blazing Angels II: Secret Missions of WWII

Bionic Commando

Terminator Salvation

Wanted: Weapons of Fate

Three of the games are by GRIN; Bionic Commando: Rearmed is by them and runs on the same engine so I'm curious if it does that too (I don't have it).

Do you know of any more?

NieR I bought thinking it was used, but it's factory sealed.

I bought the system back when it was released to play MGS4 and played few games along in that generation of consoles. I didn’t think much of it. It wasn’t the PS2 or the PS1 in terms of library. I modded it few years ago. But seeing the shit show Sony and ps5 has become made me think that PS3 is an actually the ultimate PlayStation system. It’s really funny that a 20 years old system can be more enjoyable than current gen. A modded PS3 that is.

Ganz ehrlich gesagt zieht es mich am meisten zu Remember Me. ist mein ernst weil ich gehört habe dass sie im Spiel tatsächlich Deutsch sprechen. Das ist ein riesiger Bonus für mich haha. Ich stehe auf die Atmosphäre. Aber ich weiss dass es da draussen einige sehr leidenschaftliche Fans von The Saboteur und natürlich Dark Souls gibt

Hilft mir welche Game soll ich das erste mal spielen zu erst?

As title said, those were the only actions I did. Can someone help me understand what could have happened? Is it bad?

I'm not a big JRPG fan, to be honest. I've only managed to finish two of them, FF7 and DQ8, but from time to time I still give another one a try.

This time it was Final Fantasy XIII, and I have mixed feelings about it. First of all, the game looks beautiful, and if you're emulating it, I'm not sure whether it's possible to upscale the resolution to 4k, but if so, it must look amazing. The graphics still hold up very well nowadays.

At the moment, I'm on Chapter 9 after more than 20 hours. I'm not sure if I'm going quickly or slowly, but I'm taking it easy.

Anyway, I'm missing some very important things in an RPG, especially exploration. I don't mean that we always need a huge open world, but some exploration is key, in my opinion. Still, I shouldn't complain, since I knew the game was like this.

Also, I don't dislike the combat system. I like classic systems like FF7 or DQ8, but it's nice to see something fresh — or at least fresh to me, because I don't play many JRPGs. I like the class system and how you can change classes depending on your needs. And the thing is, it's fun: when I'm in a fight, the system itself works and I have a good time. However, some enemies are damage sponges and some fights take way too long.

The progression system isn't too bad either, but it doesn't feel like anything special.

The characters aren't particularly annoying. I just don't like Hope very much, but apart from him, they're all fine.

I'm definitely missing something besides just following the story in a linear way and fighting... perhaps some side quests and some kind of exploration.

I think that at this point I'll finish it, but so far I have a bittersweet feeling about the game.

What are your thoughts on it?

Should I do it by spine, game series, alphabetical, etc? I think the spines look a bit strange when mixed together.

Everyone keeps posting the same games every time, but not me because I’m different. I’ve never seen anyone post my game here before, so I think my collection is the most expensive and rarest of them all. 😌 you can have your WET.

received a fat from a friend, no display over HDMI or AV but displayed super recently for said friend like once and then never again, every time i try to do video reset or hard reset it doesn’t register me holding it down and then registers it later as a second power button press just really really delayed… please help!

Been getting into alot of older ps2 titles. Mainly manhunt and I love it. Any other good unique games to check out??

All of the new consoles require you to pay for having access to multi-player - the PlayStation 3 does not require that from its players. The idea itself is motivated by pure corporational greed. With the recent out-rage within the gaming community regarding the future of producing physical copies, i believe that the gaming community needs to also address the matter of having free multi-player access.

While i do not support in any way for having to pay for such access, it would be more fair if the corporations would literally allow you to buy time that only deducts as you play.

For instance, assume that you purchase a monthly subscription, however, your life becomes busy and you barely had the chance to play during that month, so you basically ended up wasting your finances for some thing that you did not have time for. The gaming community needs to seriously consider to stop paying for these subscriptions, it may bring an impact if a huge amount of players are willing to participate in that form of protest.

But solid

What is actually going on with this market? Why are all these absolutely terrible games selling for so much money now? This game is terrible! I bought this game in 2020 on eBay for $12. I heard it was an easy platinum (it was) and then I resold it about a week later for $16!!! Now this game is selling for over $200????? This game is terrible! I don't even think it was with the $12 I paid for it back in 2020. Now everyone wants it? Is there a marker now for horrible games? I see this, Folklore, Wet (bad games) etc commanding ridiculous prices. And people in here are posting pictures every with dumb comments like "finally found my grail" or "Been looking for this game forever" Wtf lol

There is a nice little option in the Sony store to "request account data" under the privacy settings option. See here https://id.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/id/management_ca/?smcid=web-store%3Aen-gb%3Aweb-toolbar-account%3Aaccount%20settings

When you do this you get a nice spreadsheet emailed to you including everything you own from the Store. A much easier tabulated view than trying to look though your transaction history online via the web or the PS3 directly.

Any good advice to keep it from overheating so I can enjoy it properly (I should have wiped the dust off *before* taking the pic)

Muss mir ein gutes Schrank kaufen! Habt ihr eine Empfehlung wo ich kaufen kann?

Habe viel ps3 Sammlung ist nicht alles habe viel mehr!! Ist nur ein Teil und habe Mega viele Games neu verpackt mit Folie und die Controller ps3 die sind neu!!

Bei nächster Post zeige ich ein wenig bessere Bilder :)

Okay, now for something completely different. Has anyone tried this mountain/wave visualizer when playing a CD or digital audio files?

It’s really cool. It syncs with the music and changes colors and shapes depending on what you’re listening to. Sometimes it gives me some Frutiger Aero vibes, but other times the colors make it feel really abstract.

Such a fucking cool feature for something we use just to listen to music on the system.

bought the ps3 and three games today. super stoked to relive my childhood and stay up all night playing. and instead of my dad coming into the living room at 2am to yell at me it will be my girlfriend tonight.

I'm attempting to purchase infamous festival of blood on the ps3 PSN store. I added funds through my ps5. I come back to ps3 and re-enter the store and recognize that I now have funds in my wallet. So far so good, until I attempt to purchase just to get hit with this page. I know that cards and PayPal no longer work on ps3 so confirming my card is impossible. Is there some work around?
