"When looking forward to a fresh console generation, it's mostly the new things that get us excited. Extra features, better visuals and new games are all well and good, but there are other ways in which a good games console must earn its place under your TV. Multimedia has been a big part of this generation and, with rumours surrounding the Xbox 720 supporting digital recording and playback of your saved clips, playing various media is going to be on the agenda for sure."

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
i really want backwards compatibility because im switching back to Sony next generation and want to catch up on the Playstation 3 games i missed this generation. so hopefully Sony will think of buyers like me and see the potential in making money off of consumers like me who will build their next generation game library with games from the current generation. not to mention, there are only a finite number of games at launch for a new console, so Sony should expect people to dip into the Playstation 3's library for games at the Playstation 4's launch as well.
Backwards Compatability is the main reason I bought a PS2, and a launch PS3
It would be nice but not a deal breaker feature for me.
The new consoles most likely won't support BC... take a look back at the PS3 and 360 launches. 360 had shoddy BC for select titles and pretty much locked everything else out until recently with their marketplace downloads but it's not the same because "Hey... I've got this physical copy here in my hands but it wants me to buy it again to play it on my console". Ps3 started strong supporting full BC with their first SKU but have slowly dropped that option over time to the point where a PS3 bought in 2013 does less than a PS3 bought in 2006 though their both on even terms since sony has taken features away from early adopters (That is one of those things that should piss anyone off)... so with that said the new consoles won't support BC out of the box but will make you buy digital copies. Just the radical changes from the PS3 to the rumored specs of the PS4 should be enough to confirm but again it's all speculation.
1 reasin not to habe it. It is morevthan a game player. It is an enyertainment device amd can be used on other TVs to access all types of content.
If Sony is smart they make them compatible and continue to support the ps3. There are so many games to go back to and they should get cheaper. Many habe speculated that the ps4 may be free or cheap when it releases. They should do the same for ps3. Many ppl hunt trophies and the ps3 could continue to be viable. It could help bridge the gap. They own many studios and while many indie games r releasef, why not release some ps3 games in the same vein.
Either way, i would never sell it because it does too much and isnt worth what i would get for it.
