Was the PS3 peak Playstation?

It was, can't believe they didn't give PS5 full BC.

Because remakes/remasters. You're not supposed to play your old games, you're supposed to buy them again.

Another thing was the change from memory cards to HDD

>Was the PS3 peak Playstation?
Yes. It was the last time Sony cared about going the extra mile for their customer. I still can't play the PSX/PS2 classics I purchased during this period, while they were always playable across PS3 and PSP. I would have bought a PS5 to have access to these back.

Wasn't it because of the cell?

Playstation's soul only lasted as long as Ken Kutaragi's involvement

The PS5 is powerful enough to emulate PS3. Sony's just fucking greedy.

>Great library.
Fuck off. 3's library was garbage compared to 1 and 2.

Any PS3 games that haven't been ported to current gen or PC aside from Demon's Souls? I feel like the PS3 suddenly has no games again.

MGS4

Sorry forgot to mention that too.

Only really early PS3 had backwards compatibility and the console was a fucking stutterbox. Don't get me wrong I'm happy I got it over the 360 given how much trouble I saw mates have with RROD but just because it was better doesn't mean it didn't have huge faults

Spent more time playing the Wii than I did my PS3 prior to 2010 tbqh. Real winner of the 7th gen imo

MGS4 REALLLY needs some damn justice. Its stuck on the PS3 with that atrocious framerate.

Same, but mostly because of how easy it was to hack.

Backwards comparability niggguuuuuhhhhh

Uhh, I dunno what else. That Ninja Theory game with a redhead girl, Heavenly Sword. Warhawk? Child of Eden? Uhhhhhhhh. Even all the low-budget JRPGs got ported to PC, except the one with two identical girls, Time and Eternity I think? I dunno.

Ratchet and clank games
Killzone 2,3
Resistance games
Drakengard 3
infamous games
Mostly showelware and subpar games as you can see

How's PS3 hacking these days? I've still got mine lying around but never use it.

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON Zig Forums.
OLD GOOD
NEW BAD

Even PS1 compatibility is shaky in most models. And you need the unstable original model to run PS2 games. And even that one doesn't emulate all of them properly.

>Suddenly
>Again
First thing that comes to mind is 3D Dot Game Heroes. Underrated as fuck. ModNation Racers got lost in the Little Big Planet Sauce. If you mean series that stayed with the console, but eventually got sequels on the PS4 then The Infamous duology, Killzone, Ratchet and Clank Future series, and then the Resistance series lived and died by the Trey as well.

A handful of ps3 games looked alright, the rest barely looked better than highres'd ps2 games.

Yes, but boomers basically killed it with their screeching.

>R&C Future
Never played the series, weren't those ones not as strong as the ps2 trilogy?
>Killzone and Resistance
These any good? I don't mind console shooters but Resistance looks pretty brown and grey
>Drakengard 3
Rhythm game final boss scares me away
>infamous
LOL

Nier Replicant, the best version of the game

is getting ported

>no arguments

Literal retard. LA Noire looked incredible as did movie games like Heavy Rain and Uncharted

That would be PS2. PS3 was the start of the decline but still a decent console.

Wait I meant gestalt the best version. Dad Nier. Jamieson Price's magnum opus

Isn't the PS3's hardware architecture comically complicated?

Nearly every game of value got a PC port or HD remaster for next gen, it often had the worst versions of multiplats. A majority of the exclusives were western trash. The ps1 and ps2 have retained a lot of their exclusives, or at the very least are the best versions of them graphics be damned and most were Japanese.

>Spent more time playing the Wii than I did my PS3 prior to 2010 tbqh.

Literally me. I ended up playing this more than any of the Gen 7 consoles and still look fondly on it today. That said PS3 was the last time Sony seemed to care. PS2 was peak PlayStation, but PS3 was Kutaragi's Swan Song.

I know, after enough time, everything enters nostalgia territory, but this is too much.

The power of the Cell was just to nuanced for pea brain westerners and Nintendo pussy whipped Japs to comprehend. As per usual, Sony was years early to the party and the leading trendsetter as well.

There's no way Sony can't get a PS3 emulator running well enough on a PS5 with all the PS3 hardware documentation they have.
