The MGS Collection on PS3 is not perfect. There are some effects missing on MGS2, just compare the part where Snake lands on the ship at the start of the game and compared it to the PS2, the rain also looks worst for some reason. In MGS3, a lot of the cutscenes is missing the depth of field and some effects making it less cinematic and shows some of the weaker element the background that wasn't supposed to be clear in th first place. The first game is also a downloadable code only and not on disc. Well at least it wasn't the level of disaster that was Silent Hill HD Collection.
Matty i totally agree with you. I've been buying used PS3 games for years. They're high quality games and still run great, especially if there's nowhere else for me to play something like resistance or infamous
Went crazy on ps3 before covid and couldn’t be happier that I did. Only game (disc) I regret not getting was PSN Vol 1 since it exploded following the announcement of the shop closing.
Matty, been watching you for the past year and have heard you talk about Dragon Age: Origins on occasion. OMGoodness I picked it up a few days ago (only 13 hours in) and I cant thank you enough for this recommendation. Absolutely love this game!
I jumped on PS3 collecting in 2017 and I'm thankful for that. I've pretty much sold off anything that isn't exclusive to the system, minus a few favorites. Some games just feel like I should play them on PS3 lol
I'm really hoping sony does remastered trilogy like spyro and crash for titles like Jak and Sly Cooper. Also a entire God of War Greek saga collection please.
Man, I just want them to bring GOW: Ascension to modern consoles. That's one of the most visually impressive games on the PS3. I was just playing it the other day
Matty I would LOVE to see a PS3 hidden gems video from you. You should check out Folklore, it’s becoming a bit of a cult classic from the PS3 and I genuinely think you’d love it!
Wow glad bought the Ratchet and Clank collection, Sly collection and I got most of the Spider-Man games I got when EB Games was doing a so many games for 15 bucks.
Some of my favorite games are Sony Exclusives and I _LOVE_ my PS3 Fat Classic. The Last of Us + Uncharted, god of war, Fifa Street, Mortal Kombat 9. The last PS3 game I picked up was the MGS HD collection a month or two back. Can't wait to dump my ISO's to RPCS3
it's funny, i bought a ps3 last july mainly because i wanted to play Gran Turismo 5 and 6 and eventually some other exclusives, and ever since then i've seen so many videos from people saying a ps3 is a must buy now
Some of the must own physical PS3 games: the Uncharted Dual Pack which comes with the first Uncharted game and Uncharted 2 GOTY, Enslaved: Odyssey To The West, Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavy Rain Director's Cut(still better than the buggy remastered version on PS4), Beyond Two Souls(certain scenes are longer compared to the remastered), Red Dead Redemption GOTY, The Last of Us GOTY, Arkham City GOTY, Max Payne 3, Tekken 6, the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus, Collection(just for Ico), Siren: New Translation, Injustice Gods Amongst Us, Ace Combat Assault Horizon, Lollipop Chainsaw, Mass Effect Trilogy(rare), Folklore(rare), Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena, Duck Tales Remastered. Games to avoid: Silent Hill HD Collection (the worst remaster ever made in history) Ride to Hell: Retribution, Aliens: Colonial Marines
PSA: Ratchet: Deadlocked is an amazing spin-off from the main R&C series that is stuck on ps2/3 along with the original trilogy. Everybody pick that up too!
Yup. I agree. Literally finished up both my PS3 and Vita collections earlier this year. Some games were very pricy but generally I was able to still get everything for cheap.
Good picks. I panic bought some rpgs, luckily before prices shot up. I bought some of the disk only back combat games on the 360 side before they go too high.
Another thing to take into consideration is when the PlayStation store on ps3 does eventually close down anything is the price for classics PSOne games going up, especially games like Silent Hill, Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne will sky rocket in price.
I buy the odd 360 game. I bought the old dragon age games a few years ago, binary domain etc. Just went through the old god of war games on my ps5 and beat the recent one
@Smol Pixels the reason Sony will lean on is that the Cell processor makes the PS3 game complicating to run on other hardware but there has to be a way to make PS3 games works on PS5
I recommend if you are interested in getting into more tales games after beating tales of arise to get tales of graces f and tales xillia 1 and 2 since there is no where else to pick them up other than on ps3 and they spiked up in price when they announced the are shutting down PlayStation.
I remember getting web of shadows on a whim for cheap at Walmart when I was a kid. I had a lot of fun with it, the combat and morality system was really cool. I was surprised that such a fun game ended up being about 10 dollars. Still have it, don’t know if it’s back compatible though.
Other games to consider is Alice madness returns has the original game for free once you purchase digital or have the physical. infamous festival of blood stand alone game (digital only). The saboteur, Wolfenstein 2009, and John woo Stranglehold.
Still have my physical copy of Spider-Man Web of Shadows for the PS3. Unfortunately never got around to buying Shattered Dimensions, maybe should try to get it soon
I have 2 fat, 1 slim, and 1 super slim PS3. I had 2 teenagers in the house so we all had our own machine. The hardest thing for me is finding decent controllers. I have about 3 working controllers at this point. At least the PS4 controller works with PS3.
Glad I basically have everything I want for my PS3 (and pretty sure I actually own like EVERY Exclusive... Missing a few notable ones that are already around $200 like 3D Dot Game Heroes and Folklore) so I'm good 🤷♂️ 👍
@DAVID honestly try playing either assassins creed 2, brotherhood, black flag or origins they are the most solid titles in the entire franchise. my personal recommendations would be Black Flag or 2
@DAVID if you’re actually interested in the series then yes play by order but if you’re just curious about it start with those games they are the peak of assassins creed can’t go wrong with them.
Yea except they’re ps2 ports, funnily the PS3 games look better cos they’re HD remasters. I remember it took me so long to work out why the ps4 games looked bad compared to the PS3 ones 😂
@@yeppumm1192 I wonder why they wouldn’t just port the PS3 collection? Tbh I’m so used to PS5 at this rate, I would almost prefer just playing the PS2 ports to PS4 on my PS5 to not deal with the PS3s horrendous loading times! Takes like over 15min just to sync trophies
It sucks how expensive those Spiderman games are. $60 is just too much for a PS3 game for me personally. I also wish I didn't sell so many of my PS3 games in high school and middle school because it's not worth it to buy them again.
Hey man,my PS3 graphics looks jagged and shimmering like no AA, doors windows wires floors tables stairs look like jigsaw,do you know any fix about that issue? I will appreciate your response.
Barely found a disc version mass effect trilogy used, costs a price... but still, so lucky :D cause mass effect 1 doesn't exist inf disk outside that bundle, I was looking for months
I would never get jak n daxter on ps3 it’s a waste of money unless you are trying to compete the collection or get the platinum. Their on the ps4 and frankly rather play them their cause I can also play them on the ps5 as well.
Resistance 3 in the thumbnail but not in the video?!? Click bait….😝 JK. I actually did buy Resistance 1,2 and 3 when I saw the Store closure news. Love those games so much. Made me think about how many games I actually owned and gave up to scummy GameStop back in the day. I was such a moron 😆.
He's not saying it's a way to make money. He's saying buy the games you want to play while they're cheap because they'll increase in price soon. Get 'em while they're cheap.
I'm kinda doing that but on X360 and One. One is full of bargains right now. X360 too, but rarer games are already harder-ish to find, especially cheap AND in good condition, at least in Europe.
