With every wave of forward compatible Xbox 360 games, there are titles that deserve to be there, and others that really shouldn’t. The latest list of 360 gems that you can play on your Xbox One had some classics like Halo Reach, and Braid, while also including duds like Kane and Lynch 2 and Fable III.
The PlayStation 3 is Sony’s most interesting home console ever, but what’s most interesting of all is trying to nail down the very best games on a console with hundreds of incredible games. Let’s give it a shot.
We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad
Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension
2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.
Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯
I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers
Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming
Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?
If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.
I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.
I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64
I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.
But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.
The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.
if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.
Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.
This February, Prime members can claim a fresh lineup of free games, including BioShock Infinite Complete Edition, Surf World Series, AK-xolotl: Together, Sands of Aura, The Talos Principle: Gold Edition, Stunt Kite Party, The Smurfs 2 — The Prisoner of the Green Stone, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior, Dark Sky, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, El Hijo — A Wild West Tale, Colt Canyon, Republic of Jungle, Royal Romances: Cursed Hearts Collector’s Edition, Deus Ex: Human Revolution — Director’s Cut, Night Reverie, Sine Mora EX, Redemption Reapers and Yes, Your Grace.
Saddle up your horses, boys. Let's gallop on through this list of the best cowboy games you can play on the PS3.
5 must have titles for Xbox One BC, plus
-GTA IV
-Bio Shock 1
-Sonic All Stars Racing
-Dark Souls
-Far Cry 3
-Dead Space 1
-Dead Space 2
-Rayman Origins
-Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW)
-GRAW 2
-GR Future Soldier
-Call of Duty 4
-Call of Duty World at War
-Modern Warfare 2
-Modern Warfare 3
-Fallout New Vegas
The Dead Space series in general needs to come to BC!
My top 5 in no order are:
1. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
2. Ghost Recon Future Soldier
3. Vanquish
4. Assassin's Creed Rogue
5. Mass Effect 3
The easy and most logical answer is....
The games that are Microsoft and console exclusive.
Crackdown, yes. Red Dead Redemption, yes. Sonic Generation, ummm derp.
Let's eliminate the people who sold their 360 to upgrade to One. If they sold their 360 console then they most likely sold their games. Makes sense for Microsoft to sell the digital 360 games to the suckers for high price or maybe have those suckers re-buy the games used, which prices are going up for this very reason.
BC is great to be able to replay a gaming collection and also retire a console, less clutter and save on usage. Let's be honest if you want to play the Bioshock series again, you can easily buy all 3 games for $5 on PC. Most low end systems, even crappy laptops, can run last generation games.
I ONLY want games that I need a console for!
For me, it would be all fighting games.
1. Mortal Kombat
2. Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection
3. Ultra Street Fighter IV
4. Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
5. Tekken Tag Tournament 2
6. Tekken 6
7. King of Fighters XIII
8. Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown
9. Injustice: Gods Among Us
10. Soul Calibur 5
11. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
12. Street Fighter III: Third Strike
