I have a 1st Gen. PS3. It plays PS1 and PS2 games flawlessly. It's really just a great system. I love that I've been able to keep all of my games for PS1 and PS2 without the hassle of multiple systems. For the amount of space you could save, as a serious collector and enthusiast, I would definitely recommend picking up a 1st Gen. PS3.

Heavenly Sword was so awesome, I am surprised that the game did not get more praise back in the day

Ummm...The First Disgaea game came out in 2003 for the PS2 it didn't start on the Nintendo DS. Infact before the first game got it's remaster on the Nintendo DS we were already on Disgaea 3 on PS3.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, more people need to play that game.

PS3 Games Hidden Gems 3 Please! =]

I really like the laid back, chill, and positive tone of your videos. It's relaxing and fun.

I'm just revisiting all your PS3 videos this week because I am really getting back into playing it again. I picked up a Retro Fighters Defender controller and it's absolutely fantastic.

Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Deadly Premonition - The Director's Cut, Resonance of Fate, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Puppeteer: I've got all these F-ing awesome games!!! Disgaea 4 and Time Crisis 4 are on my list! Thank you so much, Metal Jesus, for letting the world know about them!!!! :D

PS3 is one of my favorite consoles of all time, great video Metal Jesus!

I really appreciate you putting the Games Shown at the top. I simply copy, then pasted the games I wanted into the PSN store (which was opened in the next tab of my computer) and searched that way. I placed the games into my Cart from my computer, bought them, and then sent the games to my PS3 Queue. Very simple, yet useful. Thanks!

I'm so happy you included Deadly Premonition. It's such a wonderful game and deserves more recognition.

Metal Jesus, you really have to play Catherine. Believe me, that game is right up your alley. You will love it.

Child of Eden and Vanquish were games I didn't hear much about, but I think are hidden gems.

So many memories, Heavenly Sword was the game which introduced me to HD gaming, and the facial animations just blew my mind. I remember shouting "That's Andy Serkis" when the bad guy made a weird face, just awesome moment. Also glad you listed Resonance of Fate, one of my favorite game of the generation, and for me, the best gameplay a JRPG ever had.

Thanks for reviewing the game Folklore that I requested. That is cool that you listen to your fans and subscribers. Thumbs up!

Heavenly Sword was the first PS3 game i played when I bought the system in 2006/2007... I remember thinking to myself, damn everything is so shiny.

I love every single one of these titles, especially 3D Dot Game Heroes! Great video Jesus!

This has become one of my favorite episodes in the series. Some truly awesome games in this one FOOS!

This is the first hidden gems video, where i have/played more of these than not! great video! Love the first two games and Time Crisis 4!

You could totally make a drinking game from how many times metal jesus says a game is a "love letter" to a certain thing lol.

hope for a 3rd video please, love your stuff, greetings from Tijuana Mexico.

I really like this fella. Thanks for the upload. Hope you're have a great weekend, Jason ...

do more of this man! ive bought so many of your recomendations so far and having a blast!!!

I finished Folklore this year and it's amazing! The boss fights are very creative too :) highly recommended

like to correct you on something cause you said for Disgaea started on the DS but it originally started on the PS2 in 2003 while the DS version was on 2008 and even the PSP version was released on 2006

God. Metal Jesus since I found your channel recently I am obsessed with your intro, Love it man keep up this great work!

I found a copy of 3D Dot Game Heroes and I LOVE it! Thanks for sharing these awesome videos!

Man games used to be so versatile. Now all you see is SHOOTERS SHOOTERS SHOOTERS + the requirements are huge

I am so glad that Deadly Premonition is on this list. It's one of my favorite games of all time. I have a lot of games on this list and I'm actually getting Resonance of Fate soon! I love your hidden gem lists and I'm glad to see someone who loves to find rare games as much as I do.

Love watching your videos every week MJR. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the great recommendations on both videos! I currently got my hands on Folklore and I love it. I am now trying to get my hands on Singularity, Enslaved and Deadly Premonition. You had me laughing so hard when you put in that sound clip to cover the "F" word. I had to replay it like ten times because it was so hilarious.

More hidden gems for PS3 please!

Love your Bloodlines tshirt: talk about a hiddem gem also right there!

thank you for mentioning deadly premonition!! Seriously, at first I wanted to give up on that game. But as you go further into it, it is just insane. It is one of the best hidden gems I've ever come across. :D

Once again incredible video especially the time crisis and puppeteer, don't know how a unique beautiful game like that hasn't become big and well known, its like locking a supermodel in the shawdows

I tried Heavenly Sword fairly recently and absolutely hated the motion controlled sections. I had to stop playing.

i just bought folklore off ebay ! Will play it later :-) & i agree with you about heavenly sword, good game.

Hey Metal I really enjoy your videos, they take me to a good place! Keep it up bro

The PS3 Has some of my favorite games in it's library. i've always taken pride in my personal ps3 collection. not super large, but every game I own, I really love. Awesome video again MJR, some great mentions. I have 3D Dot Game Heroes and you nailed it on the head. Ultra Gem. Gave me a few more to check into here as well now!

remember though ALL PS3 models play PS1 discs, which few people realise lol ;)

For me i would say Lollipop Chainsaw and Shadows Of The Damned

Thanks again Metal Jesus! I’ve discovered countless amazing games from your channel! 😊

I still look back on these good ole videos it’s so much fun

I prefer the PS3 Slim + a PS2 Slim, still takes up less space and they're more reliable.

I bought a fat original PS3 refurbished for $100 on amazon and it came with a 40gb hdd. The first thing I did when it got here was put in a 2.5 inch form factor, 5400 rpm, 250 gb laptop drive I found in the cushions of my couch and it was seriously the easiest HDD install I've ever done. When the PS3 detects that you've installed a new compatible HDD, it will offer to format it in FAT32 which is its required format to operate. Once that process is completed, you're ready to play. Even if you were to buy a refurbed HDD with the correct requirements to replace the wimpy 40gb clunker the amazon refurbed PS3 comes with, that's still only an additional $40 or so I think in the end if you're looking for a backwards compatible PS3 right now is the time to get on that shit, especially with gamestop's online store selling TONS of games for under 5 bucks and even a bunch at 99 cents, I shit you not. This investment is freaking MANDATORY if you have a Vita, and likewise if you have a PS3 then you need to get the Vita to go with it. The cross functionality has changed my life. It's just so freakin beautiful man. Being able to play Guacamelee on my 60" was worth the cost just by itself, not to mention playing Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection on the Vita. Heaven, if it actually existed, would be something like this. MY ONLY COMPLAINT - it's played every PS1 I've thrown at it (mmmmm R-Types...), but has failed about 30% of the PS2 titles I've tried including my beloved Taito Legends. So there is a judgment call to be made as to whether or not you'll be pulling out the PS2 still all of the time and would instead be better off buying a PS3 slim and just keeping both around and set up. Personally, there is just so much goodness in the fat PS3 and what I can get working that the loss of a few PS2 classics in normal rotation isn't that big of a deal, and if every six weeks or so I have to break out the PS2 to play whatever random PS2 decided not to work that weekend then so be it. One more word: prices for used systems on amazon fluctuate WILDLY from week to week so if it's above what you feel comfortable paying for it, just wait and see if it drops. If it gets somewhere comfortable, and you buy it only to see it drop another 20 or 30 bucks the next week, just go ahead and return the first one your ordered to get the new cheaper one. I know that my $100 purchase wasn't a fluke, but it was a good grab. If you just go any old day you can find PS3s used and refurbed for on average $120-$130. If only they'd made more shooters for it then it would be the most perfect gaming machine ever. Good hunting.

Awesome video man. I love collecting all the obscure Rpg / strategy Rpgs for the system.

Folklore is definitely unique. I was expecting something different when I originally played it but enjoyed it nonetheless. Heavenly Sword is such a gorgeous game and I also love it. Good list!

I got 27 minutes into folklore and then gave the disc to my border collie...then I watched the rest of this video and realized I must have watched this before because I own every single one of these games. I love metal Jesus!

Just to make sure everyone knows, I run across people all the time that don't know this. But MJR said it there, the 20 and 60 GB consoles play PS2 games. The 80 GB console plays PS2 games as well, though the compatibility is not as good due to how it emulates them. BUT, here is the kicker that a lot of people don't know, EVERY PS3 plays PS1 games.

Love all your hidden gem vids man! I learn alot about old games from watching. You should definitely do some more ps3/ps2 hidden gems if possible. Im for sure going to check out Heavenly Sword looks pretty interesting.

I've already owned Resonance of Fate, Puppeteer, and 3D Dot Game Heroes, so I'm glad they got attention in this video

I consider PlayStation All-Stars a hidden gem, sadly nobody played it because of the disappointing roster and lack of marketing, but the gameplay was pretty good if you get into it learning combos, confirms and tactics, and it's crazy fun with friends (one of the few PS3 games to be actually fun in 4-player mode in the same system).

Good vídeos but you forgot Vanquish

After watching this i immediately hunted down 3D Dot Game Heroes and Heavenly Sword and i couldn't be happier! Thanks Metal Jesus!

I picked up Folklore and Resonance of Fate because of this video. And I love them both. Thanks.

yeah 20gb and 60gb models have backwards compatibility but only the mgs4 bundle 80gb systems have backwards compatibility not the standard 80s

My 60GB PS3 still going 7 years on!!

Finally, a gem I recognize - Time Crisis 4! That was lots of fun, even with the PS3 controls only it was a hit for me.

I have a 60 GB model I bought in 2007 and it plays ps1 and ps2 games flawlessly. Thanks for the recommendations. Will definitely check out Deadly Premonition, Folklore, Puppeteer, and 3d Dot game heroes

Only a error With the DS and PSP versions of the first Disgaea are remakes of the originals the series started in the PS2 and so the principal games are exclusives to the PlayStation ( not counting the PSP, DS, and PS VIta ports of the originals with additional content )

I shoud have gotten a ps3 instead of an Xbox 360.......im glad I went back to Playstation. Backwards compatibility would be great on ps4 though...

Folklore looks amazing! Definitely gonna have to pick up most of these!

I only played Heavenly sword from this list, and what you said what spot on. Thanks for making this great video

Metal Jesus looks and speaks like such a nice guy, I mean, if you were to ask for $5 bucks on the street, this man will give you. Anyway, thank you for these "hidden gems" !

I bought the backwards compatable phat 60 gig (I think) PS3 the Christmas it came out. It's been chugging along but about 2 years ago it started having heat issues. Supposedly this isn't a rare issue...quite a few people have it. I took my PS3 apart, cleaned it and blew it out as best as I could but it still heats up way to hot. I no longer play on it because I don't look forward to buying a new one in case it overheats. As to how it plays PS1 and PS2 games...somewhat ok...I can't really think of any downsides.

Just watched this video in the last week and added a couple to my wishlist. Found Heavenly Sword at a retro toy store that I had been meaning to go back to since they recently expanded. Didn’t expect to find any on my wishlist so quickly.

Folklore, 3D Dotgame Heroes and Puppeteer. Three gems I'm glad you included and three gems you can't get on any other console!

Where's Reckoning: Kingdoms of Alamour? That game's combat is better than Skyrim!

It`s better to play the PS2 games on the original console, the reason is that the PS3 outputs HDMI so the PS2 games does not look good on the system. Play with the original PS2 (slim or fatty) and use a component cable for a 480p output. The games look really good with a component cable for the games that supports it. The other positive thing is that you can easily mod the PS2 to play every region. I know the US and Jap version of the 60GB featured the Emotion engine, on the European version they released a PS2 emulator for the console and removed the hardware. There is also plenty of games that had some problems running on the PS3 hardware. Anyways, play PS2 games on the orginal system for the best experience.

Upscales the PS2 games to HD. Depending on your TV, this makes some games look amazing. Thanks for all your cool videos.

MetalJesusRocks I definitely enjoy these, hopefully we will see a 3rd soon! Thanks for shedding light on these great games.

Any PS3 can play PS1 games, but only the 20, 60, and some 80GB models play PS2 games, which is dumb, because you can pop in a DVD movie and watch it on any PS3, so why not a game printed on a DVD? I feel like it's just to drive the sales of PS2 games in the PlayStation Store... plenty of people have hacked disc-based consoles and given them the ability to play game discs from other consoles, so why couldn't Sony just release a PS2 emulator to download on PS3? I'd even pay for it. The PS1 functionality works well. You can create virtual memory cards and save games to your hard drive and even transfer files to a physical memory card with an available memory card slot to USB adapter. In the options, you can "upscale" or "smooth" the PS1 games out, but I don't notice a huge difference... of course you can also adjust the aspect ratio, but why stretch a 4:3 game out to 16:9? It would look like butts. I use a PS2 for PS1 games more often, but it's convenient for when I want to play a PS1 game on the bigger TV

any disgaea game is amazing if you don't value your social life at all. lol

As always great video. I really need to pick up a PS3 and get my collection started. The prices have never been lower right now.

Happy to see that you included Folklore, Heavenly Sword and Puppeteer, those are definitely to pick up for a PS3 owner since they are exclusives ;) I have to do a PS3 Collection video sometimes soon, there are so many good PS3 exclusives to be discovered

Hey man! Only the ps3 60 gb. can play ps2 games :) Great video otherwise!

3D Dot Game Heroes, Puppeteer and Eternal Sonata are all amazing and they all look icredible in their own art style, I definitely recommend those three

Puppeteer is a masterpiece. One of the best games I've played recently. I actually got one-month PS Plus trial and it was one of the free games I got. I had to rush it a little because the trial was running out so I'll definitely buy it and play it again. Folklore and Heavenly Sword look interesting. Thanks for the video!

I've always been a Microsoft/xbox gamer, so these hidden gem videos are really helping me as I dip my toes into the world of the PS3 and PSP

Thank you very much for showing me Folklore :3 Btw Deadly Premonition is one of my alltime favourites ^^

Excited to see deadly premonition on this list. I love that game. The theme is my phones ringtone.

Thank u so much for the suggestions! I enjoyed a lot of games because of you

3D Dot Game Heroes looks very fun I'll definitely be on the lookout for a copy

Thank you for this. The video itself is a gem, exactly what I was looking for!

Always find a couple of games I passed up when watching these hidden gem videos I'll have to try Folklore - Well done sir

These videos are perfect. I never had ps3 I had 360 but now I have have one and it’s a joy to collect for right now

Good videos. Thank MJ. Planning to buy PS3 in a few months, I could use your videos for references

Thank you for reviewing eternal sonata. I would have never known ps3 version has 2 extra missions compared to the 360 version. Great video.

I agree about Folklore. It's phenomenal!

Hey Metal Jesus! just wanted to send a big thank you for all the hidden gem videos. The other day, I was on the greyhound and happened to stop in a little town, in the middle of nowhere, that had a little game store right across the street from the greyhound station. While waiting on my bus, I peeked in and saw Folklore for $5! I had just heard of the game in your hidden gems video so i grabbed it. on the bus, i looked on my phone and went to amazon to see that game can go for as much as $75! Wouldn't have had any idea this game even exists and im playing the crap out of it right now. anyway, im just a fan wanting to say thanks. keep those hidden gem videos coming!

That's amazing you choose Folklore. That was the very first game I played on the system when I bought it.

I've been wondering about Folklore for a while. Looks interesting! I'll have to check it out!

Just got a PS3 and over 50 games, many sports but many I’ve wondered about and haven’t tried yet. Nice to see a couple on your list. Brutal Legend and Heavenly Sword so far...

Great list ! btw, Heavenly Sword and Resonance Of Fate looks very promising

Thank you so much mate - just hooked meself to RPCS3 and a bunch of PS3 games I've ever wanted to try !

love your videos Metal Jesus! Do you try to complete all the games you play?

3D Dot Game Heroes was my favorite game on the PS3, so many hours put into that game.

Awesome channel,fantastic videos.

Great videos and great recommendations, I don't know but these days I find really hard to discover new games, I go to dedicated video games sites and all they cover is call of duty 19, and super new mario bros 50, so I encourage you to make more of these great videos.
