1759 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 That's really poor image output quality, even the PS2 gave a slight boost to PS games, makes you wonder why Sony even bothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiracyX Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) HAHA another nail is Sony Coffin :laugh: Surely they could improve this with a firmware fix but the question is, why did they even bother with backwards compatibility if it was going to look like this? That is poor quality! Edited December 13, 2006 by PiracyX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOedipus Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 ps2 games looked the same on the ps3 then they do on the ps2 when i played them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User6060 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Sad. Maybe it has something to do with the Component Cables on the PS2. I know on the xbox 360 a lot of people complain that the vga cables sometimes look more washed out than the component for the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoL Veteran Posted December 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) I don't have a PS3 but I have read from user in different forums that the games looks the same. The only difference is the load time that is a little bit faster. I bet that that guy is doing something wrong. If games really look like that we would have heard about that since the first day PS3 was released. Edited December 13, 2006 by KoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser.d Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Wait, so the PS2 games look the same on the PS3 as they do on the PS2. Ok, so it's not a great deal, but MS figured out how to upscale everything and make BC games look even better on a 360, so I wonder why Sony isn't doing that. I didn't watch the video here because the way it sounds, it was bad, but if things were actually that bad in all cases, I feel we'd have heard about it by now. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshBluebird Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 how many PS2 games will people actually play on a PS3 though? I've only played 2 PS1 games on my PS2 (hogs of war and Driver 2). So for me anyway, backwards compatibility is pretty low down on what I want a console to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted December 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 13, 2006 It's a certain percentage of games, not all. Sony do need to get shifting to fix it but it's not going to be a huge issue. BC is a lot easier for them then it is for MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DELTETHISACCOUNT Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hmph, and I remember when Sony was bashing MS over this issue, saying they could do backwards compatibility right. Well this is clearly a sign that Sony needs to shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryne Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I do like BC, and I don't like the way the 360 is doing it. But this is a Sony thread. This doesn't bother me too much, I was expecting a trade off, and I am not really a graphics ###### anyway. Just let me play the game :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasker Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I did not see too much differences between the PS2 & PS3 backward compatibility, is almost the same graphics quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mufdvr3669 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 ^^ While it is worse it's not as big of a deal as everybody is making it out to be. Yes they need to fix it but you probably wouldn't notice if you didn't have the side by side comparisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Horizons Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Another reason why im getting a 360 (Y) Oh, I guess nobody has told you yet that you can't play PS2 or PS1 games on the 360. Sorry :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropyx Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 ps3 has been more successful as far as BC goes than the xbox 360. way more compatibility. i play ffxii on my ps3 a lot and dont really notice much difference. i have a sharp eye too. weird! sounds like a bunch of jealous teens in here!

Jealous teens? :laugh: I'll go play Halo 2 in 720p with proper texture filtering and anti-aliasing. You can play Kingdom Hearts on your PS3 and have it look worse than on the PS2 if you want.
