PS3 ends production

Good Riddance

It was a pretty lame console. The PS4 has akready surpassed it and that's saying something because the PS4 is pretty underwhelming.

Still, it gave me my weeb fix, so it has some value in my heart.

The worst gen 8 console can only be the 360. 54.2% failure rate

>>378544630
Fat PS3s actually have a hugher fail rate.

>>378544630
Model 1 PS3s have an even worse fail rate. They're like 80% dead now.

That's not the Wii/Wii U.
PS3 lasted longer than the Wii and the Wii U combined. If I had to pick between the PS3 and both the Wii and Wii U I would pick the PS3 hands down. Free online and shit tons of great games. Get an early model PS3 and you can play PS2 games too, letting you play even more awesome games. The Wii is notorious for being a shovelware console, it is *THE* shovelware console.

Is this version playable? Never got a PS4 since it only has Bloodborne and I'm slightly interested in P5.

>>378544760
mostly because of people never replaced the cheap thermal paste sony used. the paste dries up and it ends up making the RSX and CELL so hot that the solder on them melts.

You do realize that PS3 and Xbox 360 were 7th gen consoles? We are currently living the 8th gen, and bordering the 9th.

Finally, PS3 ended up being a huge success.

Teh Cell will live on in my heart.

>>378545048
P5 started and was a PS3 exclusive for most of its life span, and it looks like something that could be ran on a PS2 with smart enough porting team.

If you're fine with 720p at ~30fps (which IMO is more than plenty for a turn-based JRPG), then there's no reason to avoid the PS3 version.

>>378545048
the only real differences between ps4 and ps3 versions are that ps4 is 1080p and load screens go by 2 seconds faster

>>378545048
Yes, but it's scarse af and not even available in some countries.

>>378545048
terrible load time

added like 10 hours to my playthrough i'm sure

>>378545287
PS4 version is also 30 FPS and it can't be unlocked. No Pro or Boost Mode support either.

>>378545567
emulating each SPU on the CELL is a lot more difficult than emulating a emotion engine PS2 chip. in the next 5 years, playable framerates for PS3 emulation will only be achievable if you have a $500 intel CPU. not even taking into account the amount of software glitches present trying to accurately emulate every SPU without skipping a beat

>>378546089
considering we're living times where 12 core CPUs are already available for generic consumers, at notably higher clockspeeds than what Cell ran at, potentially with hyperthreading as a bonus, I wouldn't be surprised if we got a first emulator version that'd result 100% playspeed at native res, and hardware to run it as well, in just another 3-5 years.

Good. Fucking. Riddance.
I've been a Playstation person since the 90s and this was a big mistake. Luckily Sony has turned things around and Playstation is now the undisputed king again, but I'd be nothing more than a braindead biased fanboy if I pretended the PS3 wasn't the dark era for playstation. Yeah, it had a decent jap library, but even there it faltered compared to what came nefore and after. And while free online was nice, the performance was so abhorrantly terrible in comparison to 360 that, much like playing multiplats on PS3, there was next to no point.
I don't believe in selling consoles, but this was the closest I ever came.

>>378546718
Very accurate but also fair.

>>378546718
Spot on

>>378546718
This so much.
Scorpio is making the same mistakes as the PS3 did. It's harder to develop for but technically more powerful at the expense of being more expensive.

It will be a major failure for microsoft and outside of exclusives (also on Windows 10 lol), the games will all look just as good on PS4 Pro, maybe better.

>>378546718
>>heats up so much you can LITERALLY cook eggs on it
Meme lies, 80 degrees is not enough to cook eggs properly.

>no removable HDD
Blatant fucking lie.

>the fucking sixaxis
What exactly was the problem other than lack of rumble? It was literally a wireless Dual Shock 2 with bettter L2/R2 buttons.

>highest fail rate of any console in history
That would be X360

>however in doing so they DROPPED THE BACKARDS COMPATIBILITY
More lies, only the Japanese and US launch Fat models had backwards compatiblity, all post-launch and all EU Fat models didn't have it as an attempt to cut costs thanks to Sony being jews.

>"rumble is a last generation feature"
PR damage control from those retards because they lost the patent, eventually they forked out money to the owners of the patent and brought it back.

>ran multiplats so incredinky poorly that they might as well not have been on the console at all
Only in the first 3 years, after that PS3 became leader in terms of multiplats.

Everything else is perfectly accurate though.

>>378544369
lasted longer then the shitbox please mix me

>>378546718
Don't forget that Sony promised the PS3 was supposed to last 10 years. Not only did the PS4 crush that plan, but I'm willing to bet they kept the PS3 on life support for the last few years just so they wouldn't look like liars.

>>378546373
It's not a matter of hardware power, the modern Intel skylakes have more than enough power to run circles around PS3. The problem is accurate software emulation. PS3 was already difficult to develop natively for it with 100 man development teams, now imagine emulating it with a crew of only 3 people.

>>378544369

Looks like the switch is the only Gen 7 console left.

>>378547753
How much do you want to bet that Sony picked Cell specifically to make developers less likely to port their exclusives to X360 and PC later down the line?
And also to prevent emulation (which succeeded, no proper emulation within PS3's lifetime).

>>378547913
well the 3ds is below 5th gen graphic-wise

You have to be deluded to think that PS4 and PC didn't completely obliterate Xbone and WiiU.

the first few years of ps3 was nightmare for sony. luckily it started thriving while other consoles were at their dying moments, and managed to rack up a nice library of games that aren't only forgetable memeshit

>>378547361
The Fat PS3s are far an away worse in terms of fail rate than even the model 1 360 "core" consoles. They did tend to last longer before burning out, but far far more of them burned out.
Technically there is a removable HDD but it's a headache compared to tge 360 external one. I'll still side with you though because the 360 HDD was useless on any console that wasnt the "home" console due to locking down all content when seperated.
The sixaxis was a cheaply made cash in on the wii mote hype. It recieved negatove attention the minute it was reveled. There's a reason they dropped it.
They should have been honest with the rumble patent instead of lying to literally everyone.
Dropping backwards compatibility in any way, shape, or form is an immense negative in comparison to competitors. In fact, it's one of the only good things the Xbone has going for it over the PS4 and has kept many last gen games that are next to dead on PS3 populated on the xbox servers. It's actually been so profitable for Microsoft that they are doubling down on it with scorpio.
By 2010ish Sony had some games that were comparable in multiplat performance but the vast majority still lagged behind. Bethesda for instance had to consistantly delay their DLC plans for games like skyrim due to unplayable frame rates. And don't even get me started on bayonetta.

>>378548108
This. Even online multiplayer is free.

>>378548197
Multiplats were better on PS3 is what I meant.
Even Rockstar who struggled initially eventually made blatantly better PS3 versions with their multiplats as evident by LA Noire.

There were a few rare games like dark souls where it had a slightly more consistant frame rate, but it was still worse in most games by the time the Wii U launched.

You can stop lying any time now.

The PS3 was a multiplat disaster. Period.
Yes, there were exceptions. There's somw games the X1 plays better than the PS4 for instance. Those are called exceptions.

>>378548359
They all have had better lives than their successors so far.

>>378548359
I'll miss the 360 the most and even then it's a C- at best

>>378548359
The 360 was probably the best of the three in that gen, the Wii blew it's load far too early and the PS3 was overpriced.

360 was a reasonable price and had a pretty good game library.

>>378546718
/thread

>>378548108
What is the best way to play to play PS2 on modern televisions? I mean something that only has HDMI and Displayport inputs.

I was thinking of getting a backward compatible PS3 (I own MOST of the games I want to play) but I heard they die all the time and run at like 90 degrees.

I was considering an adapter or some kind but apparently the lower end ones can introduce heavy input lag and also they drop signal sometimes. But if I did get it working I could play ANY PS2 game. I have many iso's on my PS2's internal drive.

I have an HTPC, but its kind of old and the processor is awful. PS2 emulation is still kind of a trainwreck but a good amount of games run fine. Maybe build a new one of those with a beefy processor.

How would you handle this situation?

>>378548734
360 game nights were great.

I appreciated the free online sony had but it was so bad a lot of the time that it ended up being too frusterating.

PS3 was the best of the lot, you idiots.
RIP, you magnificent beast.

>>378548809
DO. NOT. GET. A. BACKWARDS. COMPATIBLE. PS3.
They're terrible, loud, and almost all dead.

>>378548359
You were shit. Garbage framerates. Garbage hardware on every single one of them.

Overdone and overpriced shit games.

Casualization to the max. Shit online services.

A terrible generation. A truly terrible fucking generation that finally put gaming firmly in the 'mainstream' and made it all that much worse.

We had a few gems, but it was such an overwhelming torrent of pure fucking shit it was incredible.

It was so bad we had to turn to portable consoles. Before, portables were used due to their portability, but the sheer cost of making a videogame on the 7th gen made it fucking impossible to innovate. So, the lower requirements and ease of development on the portables... naturally lead to revolution for them.

That's how shit the 7th gen was.

>>378548821
It seemed to really depend on the game. This is all anecdotal but it seemed like first party games ran the best.

>>378548840
Nah
Had some good jap games, but too many negatives.

>>378548283
>Technically there is a removable HDD but it's a headache compared to tge 360 external one. I'll still side with you though because the 360 HDD was useless on any console that wasnt the "home" console due to locking down all content when seperated.
Legit, how is it a headache? You pop the bar on the side that says HDD, unscrew 2 screws, take out the rail, replace HDD, slide the rail back in, screw back the 2 screws, pop the bar in, done.

No idea about Fat failure rate since I swapped my launch EU Fat model for a 320GB Slim later down the line and it's been serving me well ever since.

>The sixaxis was a cheaply made cash in on the wii mote hype. It recieved negatove attention the minute it was reveled. There's a reason they dropped it.
It's LITERALLY no different in build quality than Dual Shock 2. I literally had both consoles at the time and it was the same fucking controller minus different L2/R2 buttons and the gyro motion gimmick. So to say it's cheaply made is to also say that PS1 and PS2 controllers are cheaply made.

Sure they were jewish as fuck with rumble, I already said it and it pissed me off back then.

Backwards compatibility on PS3 wasn't possible due to architectural change so that's understandable, the way it worked in initial models is because the entire original PS2 hardware was inside which is why PS3 was "Fat" to begin with.
Microsoft kept their x86 PC architecture for all consoles so they're in a better position than Sony.

>>378548604
LA Noire came after RDR, moron. And the PS3 version is VASTLY superior. Stable 30 FPS, X360 barely handles 24. Full dynamic shadows, X360 has low res dithered shadows, PS3 has Ambient Occlussion, X360 has none. Seriously do your research before you shitpost. Every single multiplat after 2009 was better on PS3 barring maybe some exceptions that I'm not even aware of. I literally have both consoles still plugged to my TV too, faggot.

>>378548821
Aye, it was the best for game nights. The PS3's only advantage was the free online but that wasn't enough to redeem it.

Wii - C-
PS3 - D+
360 - B-

>>378548876

Then you have the PS1 which is literally shovelware trash: the console. No anon, Spyro, MGS, and Legend of Dragoon are not very good.

I like how quickly everyone on /v/ agreed to suck Sony's cock when they stopped producing backwards compatible PS3's, saying it costs too much and emulation wasn't possible, just to start selling PS2 games compatible on every PS3 console a few years later.

Go on, tell me how okay this is. Can PS4 play PS1 or PS2 games?

The PS2 backwards compatiblity sold games are through software emulation, that's completely different from the actual non-emulated backwards compatibility. Not only is the software emulation below 20% library compatibility, but many have issues. Persona 3 and Nocturne PS2 Classics on PS3 are completely fucked for example. Nocturne True Demon Ending is fucked and crashes, Persona 3 has random save corruptions and visual glitches.

It was so shit. The PS3 (and the 360 desu) were so shit I just ended up going full PC fag this gen. I can't be bothered with consoles any longer, more hassle and I'll just get a ps4 when they get cheap so I can get at those console exclusives.

>>378550457
But the reason PS4 is so shit is at least in part because of how much money the PS3 lost.

Sony had to make up for it, so PS4 has crappy hardware they sell at a gain, paid online, tons of rereleases and Sony keeps pushing their stupid streaming services. It's also got grand total of 17 full-retail exclusive games, which would be laughably pathetic if it still weren't 10 more than Xbone has.

Yeah but I got other games like that weird customizable kart racer and the last soul cal they made, 5 I think?

Gonna get off my ass and see if there's nothing local I can pick up. I still have the controllers which is usually the point of aversion for me when buying used systems.

rip soul calibur.

>>378545048
it was designed for ps3. I've beaten it fully on ps3, no problems whatsoever, maaaaybe slight framerate drops but nothing that breaks player's comfort.

>>378545401
was it really that bad? I had my game on HDD, it was loading pretty as fast as P4 did on PCSX2.

>>378552496
For some reason the botched port of Soul Caliber 1 and the good port of Soul Caliber 2 are debut games on the Xbox Game Pass.

>>378545447

I played the demo and wasn't impressed.

You may have saved yourself some frustration.

>>378545381
>>378545048
Most stores probably won't carry the physical release, assuming it even got one in the states. GameStop and other specialty stores will have it, but as usual you're better off getting it off PSN or Amazon

The best console ever made. I still play it every day.

>>378545447
The fuck? How do you not have a ps3 by now?

>>378545447
bullshit, maybe new ps3s. Used ones will be sold for pennies soon because there is no new vidya and everyone is going to sell it after beating persona 5.

Consoles needs a lot of time to become price-y classics, you can even get working PSX in good condition for pennies if you're lucky.

I am only just now considering getting a PS3 Super Slim.

Years of poor branding and botched multi-plats aside, is the super slim worth it

>>378553091
no, it scratches disks and build quality feels like one of those polystation nes knockoffs shaped like playstations, not to mention that exposed laser dies quicker

used fat/slim > new superslim

>>378553034
>Consoles needs a lot of time to become price-y classics, you can even get working PSX in good condition for pennies if you're lucky

Depends on the individual consoles themselves. I remember Dreamcast prices spiking a bit when homebrew stuff began picking up, but went down a bit after Sega briefly sold refurbished ones through their website.

Gamecubes have gone up a bit in recent years due to Melee becoming popular competitively

PS2s and PS1s on the other hand were so common you can probably get them cheap, but of course they might have problems

>>378549716
Goldeneye is the worst case of nostalgia blindness. The game doesn't even really work right. I enjoy having people play it again, you can feel their childhood dying.

I do have games from that era I like. Star Fox 64 and it's focused game play and perfect controls, Resident Evil 2, F-Zero X, Final Fantasy 7 (even if it turned into a meme game) but as a whole it is a disaster. 4 and 6 blow it out of the water.

>>378553091
It's small and what not, but it depends on what you want to do. The SS doesn't support custom firmware, is a top-loader (the plate on top is a slider for the disc-drive), is slightly louder than the original Slim, and i think only has the option for 250GB of storage (they might offer a 500GB option but mine was only 250GB from the Uncharted 3 bundle)

If you're looking for a Demon's Souls/P5 machine or something to just watch HBO on then its fine, but the original Slim is the superior model

>>378555351
because it's one of the best Zelda games to be released in over 10 years.

I did forget about SH: Shattered Memories though, but it isn't an exclusive anymore.

>>378545079
Fuck off, opening your console and voiding the warranty shouldn't be necessary to avoid failure.

>>378544369
Good riddance, literally the worst console ever made with not a single game worth playing on it.

Thank god for Nintendo and Microsoft saving the industry from Sony's bullshit.

>>378547737
Sony abandons their consoles all the time if it doesn't do well, they've done it all the time and they never supported their consoles for 10 years.

Look at Nintendo, they actually care and support all their consoles for far longer than they should just because they care about gamers.

>>378548108

This is the version i first bought. Still playing it. One machine to play all my PS, PS2 and PSTriple games. Plus it plays DVDs and Blu Ray.

The Downfall of Gaming.

How do you guys deal with 7th gen if you're collectors? Any multiplat during that generation that's also on PC blows the console versions out of the water, but thanks to Steam and Origin and Uplay and all that shit, the physical versions of post-6th gen PC games are useless. So do you just get the shit version you're never going to play for your collection? This is really hurting my autism.

>>378557316
I rebought used console versions of my favorite PC multiplats, because the PC version became useless (Windows/Direct3D/OpenGL/EAX incompatibilities) or were replaced by their shitty iPad ports on Steam.
Even console Half-Life now looks less shit than the PC version looks now.

>>378557594
half life 1 pre-steam runs off the CD.

>>378557316
finest collection of boxed PS3 vidya on the shelf (mgs4 is fucking amazing, high quality plastic, huge comic book tutorial inside), PC vidya unfortunately kept on steam. I only keep really good ones though, so my ps3 collection is, like, 20 boxes.

>>378557316
I know that feel anon. However most triple A games are usually not worth your time anyways so I usually just skip them. The other video games that are not triple A however and also on pc, do not have as huge of a difference between the console and pc version so those I will get physical version for console.

>>378557759
>half life 1 pre-steam runs off the CD.
Sure, but it doesn't activate anymore, because their online DRM WON is down.

>>378548359
Rest in piss, you doomed gaming and other media.

PS3 is gen 7 and that's not the 360.

Can't recommend this game enough.

People who hate it just touch the first few options and spout memes.

>The campaign is shit.
Yes, why are you playing gimmick mode?
>The multiplayer is garbage.
Isn't that always the case?
>Shit game 1/5

This has 3 complete arcade games. Time Crisis 4, Razing Storm, and Deadstorm Pirates. Amazing ports that actually work well with the move which is weird because House of the Dead 4 and other rail shooters on PS3 seem to be botched to shit.

If you don't have your PS3 library isn't complete.

>>378548359

Good riddance, I guess. Some of the best games ever made were on these consoles but they did way more harm than good.

>>378559705
Oh shit thats cool. Think I will pick up. Always loved time crisis.

>>378553479

I give gen 5 a pass because it was a very transitional gen. 3D gaming finally took off as viable and the whole of that gen was basically figuring out how that shit worked. Yes, a lot of stuff from that era doesn't have a lot of staying power and endurance but it makes up for that by being the innovative stepping stone that successive gens took for granted. Gen 6 would never have been as good as it was had it not been for the bumps and bruises of 5. You can say it was a disaster but it was also essential for the growth of vidya, certainly moreso than the last 3 have been. Gen 5 was probably the last push for enduring innovation this industry has seen, even 6 was a whole bunch of "5 but better".

>>378555841

I got my Spiderstation 3 at a garage sale for free because they said "we're not sure if it works, go ahead and take it." Worked like a charm and still does.

I don't think I've ever read a more accurate description of the PS3.

It depemds on what you're talking about. He should have said "external" (which technically isnt 100% true either)

Either way it's a very accurate post of why the sustem was a financial disaster for sony.
As he points out though. Sony immidiately rebounded with the PS4.

Where can I buy a new ps3 for under $200?
I'm not going to pay what I played for damn ps4

>>378546718

>>378560814
Craigslist.
That's where I got min-
>new
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>378546718

All of this, but considering I picked one up in 2013 for like $250 my experience with it was that it was an adequate console. The 2010s were decent to it and by no means am I in love with it enough to claim that I wish I bought one sooner. No, I feel like I got on that shit at just the right time. Got a few years out of it with a library that was decently cheap. PS3 was an okay console in its twilight years and I refuse to believe it was ever any better than that.

>/v/ hates ps3 now
Last night they were saying it was = to the ps2
Hmmm

>>378560898
Fine
I'll just buy a
NEW
Off amazon for 250 same price for ps4 but fuck it

>>378560986

Lol no. PS2 isn't quite the golden child everyone makes it out to be either (unless you REALLY like JRPGs and survival horror) but it's still much better than the PS3.

>>378561146
The PS2 had a hell of a lot more games than just JRPGs and survival horror games.

>>378561146
What kind of shilling is this for real?
You're either extremely underage or being played to talk some real retard shit. PS2 has the biggest and most varried library of games to date for any console. That's a fact.

And coincidentally, some of the most shovelware.

You fags will never get a chance to play MGS4

>>378561976
He'll probably just claim its all shovelware like a butthead. Its just plain ignorance.

>>378562381
Thanks for not being dumb.

>>378562381
Every leading console has a mountain of shovelware. It was so bad on the NES/SNES, Nintendo had to put limits on how many games they'd license per publisher.

That would be the Wii, but that console was one gen behind. It could also be the unreliable Xbox 360. PS3 was GOAT.

Long live the king. I should buy me one.

>>378561976

True, but it also had some of the shoddiest hardware and worst multiplats of its gen. It was still very good, but not faultless either.

>>378560986
you live in a fantasy world of your own creation.
take a break from the internet, and seriously reconsider your pitiful life

>>378562381
Which is completely inconsequential next to the biggest and most obscenely lavish game library a console has ever had.
Even if you completely remove the all the shovelware titles, it still has the biggest and most varied game library in any console.

why are you buying a ps3 10 years late

>>378563379
>cheap

>>378551428
Games cost way too much now for developers to only target 1 platform. So pretty much everything from here on out will be a multiplat, unless if it's a first party game.

>>378563441
Yeah, cheap.

I believe that is the joke.

Except even in the current gen Switch is worse than PS3 so...

>>378563402
Got a ps3 slim the day it launched and it was before i went full neet for 5 years, it YLOD'd on me in the middle of my neetdom making me miss all the games. Now that I have a job again, i was planning to buy one again and the only thing stopping me is that I have a ps4 with shit ton of backlog.

>>378544369
I didn't believe the no games meme until I moved onto PS4. What a waste of my life PS3 was, at least PS4 has BB and all the weeb games

>>378563964

PS4 had no games until 2017 as well, it was just as bad as the PS3 was circa 2006-2009. That said, PS4 is really getting it together here in 2017, moreso than the PS3 probably ever did. But make no mistake, their early years were equally awful.

>>378548809
Best bet is to just emulate so you can render the games at native 1080p. But if you really want it you could get a ps2 and component cables for 480p which looks pretty sharp on a 720p tv.

>>378544369

Man, fuck the PS4, should be backwards compatible, with the swtich, I kind of get it since they changed format completely and adding a disc reader just for the sake of reading some games from a underwhelming console is kinda shitty and would up the price, but with this, fuck it, they KNEW they coulnd't sell remasters and that kind of shit if it were bwc, completele jew move, Xbone is a bit guilty too, fuck that noise.

>>378565497

To be fair, the PS3's architecture was fucked and Sony knew they had an opportunity to get in there with a competitively priced console that utilized an easier architecture for devs like X86 compared to the Cell. If PS4 were to be backwards compatible then they'd have to stuff the Cell in there as well and we'd have FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS all over again seeing as that happened because the PS3 was 3 consoles in 1. It sucks but Sony learned their lesson the hard way.
