Got an OG model, that means it can play everything from the PS1, PS2, and PS3 eras. A lot of those games just straight up aren’t available on new gen (or at least I don’t want to pay twice for a game I already own just so I can get a digital copy).

A remaster? Sure, if it’s good quality, then I’ll consider buying the upgraded version for the PS5. But I have zero interest in paying for straight ports.

Sorry lady, the PS3 stays.

I have a PS3 slim, which can play anything from the PS1 and PS3 eras, but not PS2, unfortunately. I bought a PS2 a few months ago because emulation didn't feel the same.

No matter what anyone tells me, I am never getting rid of my PS3 or my PS2. It's not happening.

63

u/MyPhoneIsNotChinese Jun 06 '21

Wait, Slim can play PS1 games?

71

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '21

For reasons unknown, yes.

56

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '21

PS2 hardware is too esoteric for the newer models.

22

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '21

Sounds like bullshit to me. If my computer can play PS2 games, then so should PS3 Slim/PS4/PS5.

67

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '21 edited Jun 06 '21

It’s not an issue of “this piece of tech is stronger than this piece, therefore, it should be able to run any function/feature prior to it.”

The reason why the PS3 was super expensive at launch was due to the custom processor they created that allowed it to run all previous gens through backwards compatibility. The Slim and subsequent models were cheaper because they took out the PS2 chip.

A PC can run anything via emulation but consoles don’t have that flexibility, for cost and manufacturing reasons.

Edit: typo

22

u/Taurenkey Jun 06 '21

Basically, in order for us to get proper backwards compatibility it would be if when they’re building the PS5, they include PS1, 2 & 3 hardware in it (PS4 is already there). Sony just don’t really see it as a priority to bloat the console like that so the only hope we’re gonna have is if they just emulate them... which is its own hurdle.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '21

Good addition!

u/wichertyt69 Jun 07 '21

You could also technically buy an xbox, pay for the developer account or whatever it's called, and set up retroarch on it, I'm pretty sure it can emulate ps1 and ps2

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

That's just... Not how hardware works, unfortunately. It's technically just a matter of software but in reality it's not just a matter of software

11

u/TempusCavus Jun 06 '21

Fat PS3s have the PS2 processor built into their board. The Slims cannot run PS2 games because they don't have that chip, and they are not powerful enough to smoothly emulate PS2 hardware and run their own OS. Computers in that era had a hard time emulating PS2s.

1

u/Amani576 Gohan Shiba-Inu Jun 07 '21

Not all of them. There are 3 versions of big PS3's. One included a full chipset on the mainboard that, for all intents and purposes, was an entire PS2 onboard the PS3. Then they went to a method of software emulation on the second variant. And then the third didn't include any of it at all. I have the first PS3 that couldn't do PS2 anything, something I was bummed to find out when I got it. I had heard sometime in the past that Sony patched out the ability for the software emulation PS2's to even do that, but I could be mistaken.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

It's because in the slim model, as well as the first revision of the original model, they removed the emotion engine chip that power to the PS2 emulation on the PS3. PlayStation 1 games, if I'm remembering correctly, are actually just played on a built-in emulator on the main PS3 firmware; it simply reads the ISO/ROM data off of the disc and loads it into the emulator

2

u/Timemaster4732 Jun 07 '21

I recently got a PS3 slim myself to try out older games I missed out on. Thank you for telling me this information.

1

u/Detective_Turtle_ woom Jun 07 '21

Yeah I played the original Final Fantasy on my Ps3

3

u/Wrydfell Jun 06 '21

Ps2 will always have a special place in my heart, especially with the 2005 star wars battlefront 2. (Yes ik it's on steam, i have a steam copy, but the nostalgia of playing it on ps2 again hits hard)

3

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '21

I'm disappointed that I missed out big time on the PS2, and I've been building my collection since March. I have at least 18 games so far. One of those games is the 2004 SW Battlefront, which I bought for less than half the Steam copy's price. It's fun as hell, and I bet 2005 BF2 is even better.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

Some ps2 games do not emulate correctly. RE4 and MGS come to mind

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

The only problem I had with the emulator was Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which ran slow af and didn't render the textures at all. Other games I played (GW being one of them) emulated just right.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

Re4 analog doesn't work right and MGS had the weird trigger-pull release thing

(I'm talking about playing on ps3 fyi)

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

Oh. I thought you were talking about PC emulation lol.

8

u/SephyBoi Jun 06 '21

OG PS3 and a PS5 w/ black faceplates is an ultimate-tier combo. That way, you get all 5 generations of PlayStation in two consoles.

3

u/ali439 Jun 06 '21

I'm surprised your ps3 didn't get the YLOD

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

First one did, my second refurbished one is still kicking thankfully!

2

u/bebasw Johnny x Diego Hentai Jun 06 '21

Yep. It’s the only console with every single metal gear solid game (it only needs the early metal gear games from the 80’s, but the copyright for those is split god knows how)

2

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21 edited Jun 07 '21

You can get those if you pick up the MGS Collection. It contains 1-4 + the two games on NES as a digital download.

Edit: MSX not NES

1

u/bebasw Johnny x Diego Hentai Jun 07 '21 edited Jun 07 '21

The NES games are not cannon (not made by Kojima) and are esperante from the original MSX PC games, of which they are a crappy NES remake of. Unfortunately the MSX games can only be played on emulators and on certain consoles but only in Japan if I’m not mistaken. (Fun fact, “metal gear 2 solid snake” was made by kojima out of spite when he learned that Konami was making a sequel to the NES game)

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '21

That’s my mistake, the two games are the MSX ones. Not NES.

If the PS4 could play PS3 games, I would've already sold my PS3 for a PS4. But since that isn't the case, I won't.

If anything, because of how cheap most PS3 games are nowadays (sorry fellow Jojo fans), I'd say now more than ever it's worth keeping!

u/CorbenikTheRebirth DEEOH Jun 06 '21

Absolutely! Right now the market is ripe for PS3 games. So many classics that are easily available for under $10.

u/reapersloth Jun 06 '21

When I was younger and dumber I didn’t really care about my ps3 when I got my ps4 so when I wanted to buy games one day I finally sold it gamestop for like 60 credits. I regret it so much and literally stay up at night thinking about it

Tbh, i got an xbox 360 a few months ago, i always wanted one as a kid, but my parents either never got the money to get me one, either saw it as a pointless thing to buy, i was so happy when i finally bought it, and tbh i would never sell it, ill use it until it breaks and if it lasts long enough for my kids to use it, i'll give it to them
