A callback to the PS3 early days.

    The earliest PS3s could run PS2 games. Those were nice, rare, and expensive.

    I wish they’d kept up with the hardware backwards compatibility.

      Wasn’t there that indie game I can’t remember the name of… The End of Us? Something like that.

      Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 were PS2 titles. Aside from Infamous and Demon’s Souls, the rest were multi-platform. I bought a PS3 at launch, but my game library for it was always small.

    Playing Motorstorm with the 6-axis in the controller was a surreal experience. And that was a launch title. Same with playing a mature FPS from the makers of Ratchet & Clank and Spyro.

    I know it was later in the console’s cycle, but the PS3 had Grand Theft Auto V. Yes, GTA5 has been the most recent installment in the franchise for that long.

      And Killzone 3; and Jenovah Chen’s Flower, Fl0w, and Journey; and Uncharted.

      I know I’m forgetting a few but either way there weren’t many.

    Man I HATED FF13. It was the first game I was introduced too where you don’t actually play the game. It was the beginning of the end.

      When the hell is someone going to make a mobile version of that game? It was so much fun!

        I still have a set with the camera, playmat etc and loads of extra cards somewhere in storage and I haven’t owned a PS3 for years.

        It was by no means a perfect game but it was such a unique experience that I just loved.

        Imagine if someone made a modern version based around Magic the Gathering, YuGiOh or hell even pokemon TCG. Summoning your monsters and watching them attack. I’d eat that right up!

          I think, if Sony owns the rights to it, a standalone game with the original rules would be great. The main things I loved were the direction based attacks, the variety of cards, and the elemental/flippable game tiles that could affect a lot of different classes.

          They made a PSP version of the game I used to play WAY more than the PS3 version, but I think the people who bought the full game had a sour taste in the mouth when they found out you could print the right code and “own” whatever characters that were in the booster packs.

            I do agree I loved it the way it was and think it worked very well I just don’t think it sold very well. I don’t think I met anyone else that was aware of it, let alone played it.

            I didn’t know there was a PSP version though, I might have to get a ROM of it and load it up onto my vita and give it a go! I’m guessing you would recommend giving it a try? ;P

            I do remember printing a load out for myself at the time when I realised it was possible but it could never replace the look and feel of real cards.

            I’m going to have a search tomorrow for my set actually now after having this comversation, just to see what I actually have and check it isn’t getting damp :D

              Oh yeah definitely recommend checking it out, I may have to get an emulator because my PSP is deep in my closet in several different pieces currently. I’ve been itching to play Metal Gear Ac!d anyway, so this may be my excuse.

              I’ve never researched a PSP emulator for Android but I may now so I can still play on the go.

                Oh, I loved ac!d as well, I see you are a person of impecible tastes xD

                I already have the ROM and will be giving it a go on the train later on today :D. I’m afraid I have no insights on an android emulator but there must be a good one!

                  I’d regularly play Eye of Judgement, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, MGS Peace Walker, both Ac!d games and, because my car had some mean subwoofers, I’d use my PSP as a skip proof media player (bass was so hard the CD player would skip anything I burned).
