OK, let’s get one thing out in the open straight away: I hate that there are game developers out there flooding the PlayStation 3 world with slightly-upscaled arcade-style shooter games. There, I said it. There’s just something about greedy publishers taking a stand-up arcade game with two germ-ridden plastic guns and a screen that has the words “Press Start” and “3 Credits” permanently burned into it and revamping it for the much more sophisticated, HD world of PS3 that leaves me wanting to enduringly engrave a few words of my own into stand-up consoles everywhere. In fact, there are times when I find myself sitting on the floor in front of my couch, spending entirely too much time pondering whether or not the world really needs arcade-style shooter games on the PS3.
Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.
After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.
What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?
I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.
In 5 years time all those games will be worth at least $150 to $200 that you listed
Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already
And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time
Folklore is a game I've always really wanted to play, but I got a PS3 late in the generation, and it was already really expensive to find, being it didn't exactly sell well, therefore was already kind of a collector's item.
Kept hoping I'd find a cheap copy randomly at stores and flea markets, but never happened.
It was available at GameStop for a while for under $20. Don't know har happened but GameStop started to sell their used games based on ebay prices it seems
You can still find it for around $60-70 and which in my opinion is a good price for a game that will be worth double if not triple that in next 5 years
Have you considered modding your PS3? Neither Sony or the dev would be getting money from that Folklore purchase. Kind of a victimless crime at that point.

Honestly, I just want to actually give the experience a try. I'm not someone who would buy it at a premium just to potentially rip someone off down the road.
I mean, there are collectors out there and if paying a couple hundred dollars is worth it to them then more power to them, but I'm not one to be on either end of that exchange.
I know it's taboo, but I might dig in and see the state of PS3 emulation on PC. I have a good PC, so it might be able to power through the often times poor performance, being PS3 is known to be hard to emulate.
I've never emulated anything past the PS2/Dreamcast but, as I said in my first post, I don't see anything wrong with emulation if the game you want to play can only be had used, with no money going to the creators.
YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared some new videos, showing Killzone 2, Soul Calibur 5, Time Crisis: Razing Storm, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, LittleBigPlanet Karting and more running on the PC thanks to the amazing Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.
played all ps3 exclusives
last gen when i owned the system haven't played asura wrath though will play it on this emulator
Fark... I almost forgot how good K2 looked....
I must go boot it up on my PS3 and play through it again.....
The frame rate drop wasn't that bad... The sloppy controls are what ruined it for me.
Maybe someone can make the controls better through the emulator?
Most frame drops where due to streaming and loading a new level...
As far as in combat, i didn't notice a drop at all.
So your right, but also wrong.
I'm not. Go play 2 and 3 again. I might be more in-tune being I usually play at very high fps, but the game definitely drops into the low 20s during combat, and on multiple occasions.
Its funny how bitchy pc gamer are about frame rates but they are silent as mice with this. I get that its going to be better eventually but its been muddy and unplayable for MONTHS now stop showing it till its done. Whats the point of playing ps3 games on a pc at a far worst frame rate aside from being a fanboy??

Another PS3 emulator article, another person who doesn’t get it.
We'll wait on the inevitably superior emulated version.
You can drop $40 on the lackluster, up-res compilation down the the road.
We both win.
" I get that its going to be better eventually "
there you already have your answer. As for this article it's purpose is to show the progress, not final result. So why stop?? You don't have to read it.
You're assuming that those who complain about FPS are the same people who are playing this, very few people will actually try to play this in its current shape.
Crazy. I dont have a good PC to emulate these games (still have my ps3 anyway) but it makes me happy knowing in another ~15 years I might be able to just boot up some of these classics on my then potatoPC from 2029
The top five of the best PlayStation Move compatible light gun games that have been released for the PlayStation 3.
House of the Dead 3 and 4 should be on the list. I still play Overkill on a regular basis, worth buying a move just for that game alone. The Cabela games that support move are fun too.
Is Rambo, Move compatible? And there is also Child Of Light which is sort of a shooting game.
Rambo is indeed Move compatible. Child of EDEN is too - I've only got the Kinect version but it's the best Kinect game and probably the best Move game.
No idea how this site missed HOTD 4.. and it remains a great shame more of Sega's gun games from that era didn't make it across to PS3 via Move.
i wish they also made light guns like the arcade ones. they r faster at aiming and more accurate..
Wow...is this guy hating on the ps3 more than the game?
If you dont like a specific system then dont play it...btw the game is at least a 4/5
