So i just got a PS3 for free


Recommended Posts

I'm with everyone else on this. Little Big Planet, the Ratchet & Clank Future series (Tools of Destruction, Quest For Booty, & Crack In Time), Heavy Rain, the God of War Collection, and BlazBlue are great games. In addition, I suggest buying ModNation Racers when it comes out; like Little Big Planet, it's under the "Play-Create-Share" system, a perfect little racer for when you tire of GT5. Disgaea 3 is a excellent turn-based Strategy RPG that doesn't REQUIRE knowledge of the first two games (on PS2) to play, and it's got excellent downloadable content to try. I'll also go out on a limb and suggest picking up a few Playstation Network cards and trying out the selection they have on there; If I'm not mistaken, the PS3 can play PSone Classics, right?

Finally, I suggest trying Final Fantasy XIII. It seems to be a required game to get from a couple of people I know.

Tekken 6,GT5 and God of War III are all games that are part of successfull series all these years and i think we can all say that for example Tekken 6 is the best Tekken so far the same way GT5 will be the best GT and God of War III the best God of War so far.I have Tekken 6 on my psp and it GREAT even in that little portable console.As for GT5 and God of War III i surely havent played them but i've seen gameplay videos and combined with the prequels of these games which i own (PS2),i think i can get a good feeling of what these games will be like to play.

So i think these titles along with other big hits are always a safe way to go.

On another note i think i have build my list:

Tekken 6

Gran Turismo 5

God of War III

Rachet & Clank: Tools of Destruction (It is the cheaper Rachet&Clank i found :D)

Metal Gear Solid IV

Having GT5 anf GoW 3 on my list gives me some time to collect more money since these games have not been released yet.

I respect the opinion of the people saying about PS3 exclusive also big hit games like Uncharted and Infamous and i agree that is why i will probably get them later on the future.

With regards on LBP, i own the game on PSP and i have played around 4 levels of it and didnt really enjoy it that much.Is the game that different (not in graphics terms of course) on PS3?

Am i missing something, coz i know it is a well known respected game but i still haven't understood why.

LBP is not my thing either. but you would be missing out if you skip uncharted 2.

infamous was pretty good for me, but i can see people disliking it... however uncharted 2 was really fun, after the intro level. i'd definately recommend it to you.

just got god of war 3. it is pretty good. but it was not as involving as uncharted 2. i guess killing gods is not an cool for me as "real" life simulation of uncharted.

my advice... but a used copy of uncharted 2, and wait for the price of god of war 3 to come down.

Thank you again for your suggestion but.......

........i am kinda dissapointed from PS3 so far.

I logged on Playstation Store and downloaded a lot of demos to play till i buy some games just to see what PS3 is capable of.I was not impressed at all for a console that has the highest price tag out there and definetely the best technical specifications.

These are the demos i tried:

Soulcalibur

Ninja Gaiden

God of War 3

Need for Speed Shift

Sonic Unleashed

NHL 2k9

NBA 2k9

Iron Man

Ridge Racer 7

Formula1 (dont remember the exact title but it must be old since it had M.Schumacher in Ferrari team)

I downloaded more demos too which i cant remeber right now.

Anyway i know that i did not download any PS3 exclusives but i expected that all games would have more amazing graphics from what i saw since PS3 is a beast. The only demo which somewhat lived up to my expectations was God of War 3 and not so much for its graphics but for its gameplay.i really enjoyed it.

However on the other games i felt like i was playing some 2nd gen console.For example Soulcalibur felt to me like the good old Soulcalibur on Dreamcast.Same thing on Sonic Unleashed.

Then i started NHL2k9 and NBA2k9.Little superior graphics but no big difference then playing sports games on my PS2.

And the worst thing that happened to me:

Some days ago i was on a store and tried Forza 3 on Xbox 360.The game was AMAZING.It had everything i wanted.Very well designed tracks (not only stupid race tracks but also country sightseings,mountains,cities etc),awesome (i mean awesome) controls (the handling was pure joy) and pretty nice graphics.Now singe i have a PS3 i youtubed some videos thinking we PS3 owners some day will get a better racing game called GT5.Now i am aware that the game has not been released yet but from comparison videos i was dissapointed.maybe Gt5 will have slightly superior graphics but i did not see any tracks like Forza3 (maybe it has such tracks but not showing them on the videos?) and i hope the handling is not the same as it was on all GT series.From videos so far and owning EVERY single Gran Turismo game so far it gives me the sense of a boring game that will have graphics and many cars and that is all.

I do not want to start a flame or anything and of course these are my opinions but i thought sharing them see if anyone else feels that way.Maybe my dissapointment was due to my very high expectations mostly coz of the powerful hardware.Personally i would not buy a PS3 and certainly i dont think it worths 350 euros (that is how much it costs here).Speaking strictly for gaming i would leave it for Xbox 360 anytime.It works better as a media center but for games i am not that sure.

But that's just me.

PS: I connect my PS3 to a 1080p TV via HDMI.

    • I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.
    • Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.
    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
