Topic: Nintendo Life Playstation 3 Fan Thread

I might be wrong here but I dont think the slim model PS3 have any backwards compatibility. I know the first model PS3 have backwards compatibility with PS2 cause my friend has one but I believe that's the only model that has that feature.

Yes and yes. I was just playing Rival Schools yesterday on mine. If you're talking about the top loader PS3, than idk.

Thanks for the responses, and yes, it worked!

Just tested it out by playing the first couple of levels (tougher than I remember, but that could just be because I'm used to more modern 3D platformers, that have analog stick control).

Played through the next few levels of Crash Bandicoot!

As for positives, the graphics are pretty good considering the platform, the game is notably more difficult than recent platformers I've played (that boulder chase level was surprisingly intense for being so early in the game), there seems to be quite a bit of variety (going through 3D segments, 2.5 segments, and chase levels so early).

As for negatives, I'm not a fan of the theme I guess (outside of the DKC games, I've never been a fan of the whole tribal jungle theme, and this has been no different).

I might download crash bandicoot on my psp. I haven't played it in maybe fifteen years but I reckon it would be a good fit for the handheld.

I got my first platinum trophy the other day for Ni No Kuni. I found a good grind spot so getting 250 familiars wasn't as time consuming as I thought it would be. I also made a brief start on God of War 3. Good so far. Very bloody.

If anyone cares.

Yay! I beat the level on Crash Bandicoot that I could never surmount as a kid! (Bridge to Nowhere)

Maybe I've been spoiled by more modern platformers (like Super Mario Bros. Wii & Super Mario 3D Land), but I'm surprised how difficult this game is. It really makes you work to complete every single stage (although it's kind of annoying how even the freakin' save rooms are becoming more difficult...)

Also, I used the "Smoothing" option, and the picture quality looks better. (to any one else playing PS1 discs, is this how you play them?)

The Last of Us got a very rare 10/10 in Edge magazine. I was expecting good, but not THAT good.

It's getting quite a few 10's

Also, PS Blog mentions that you can pre-register to get into the PS Home E3 event this year. Over 20 rewards available including exclusive dynamic themes, KZ Mercenary beta access, 30 day trial to PS+ and more!

It is for me, what with that KZ beta access D: plus some free themes can't hurt

Man while I want another traditional Fantasy or steamPunk FF, I love when Square takes modern sensibilities into their titles.

Looking forward to Final Fantasy Verus XIII XV.

I just bought a PS3 with a bunch of games like GTA IV, MGS4, Resistance1, Battlefield 2, Motorstorm and i'm planning on getting all the big fighting games like Super Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter X Tekken. So add me on PSN! My name is Linky97

So with the PS4 coming up I'm thinking about getting PS Plus now. So how often do new free games come in and in what quantity?
And how many games that wouldn't have intrested you, but you got and played because they were free on PS Plus and ended up really enjoying? I'm espcially looking for input on smaller downloadable titles for that question.

P.S. I have a Vita too.

The free game's you get once a month for Playstation+, like i've am downloading LBP Karting & XCOM Enemy Unknown now & at the start of this month i downloaded ICO & Shadow Of The Colossus. The games are a mix of PSN games & full rental games, the full rental games where older games like Demon Souls but now thay are just a few months old games like the new Hitman. For me the Playstation+ is 100% worth it i've had a lot of free games that if added up come well over the price for Playstation+ itself, also the cloud saves are handy.

forgot to add the PSN games are usually the latest PSN games, like when the The Cave first got released it was free for Playstation+ users.

Everyone seems amazed by the new PS4's graphics, but to me, the most impressive game Sony announced was Puppeteer. Nobody seems to care about this game and I think it was one of the show's best. The trailers look quite incredible.

Sony's Puppeteer is going to be excellent and so is Sony's Knack, both day one buys for me. I'm also looking forwards to Tom Clancy's The Division looks very good too it's a online open world RPG which has a Watch Dogs feel to it. Some many games so little time.

"The Division takes place in New York 3 weeks after a lethal virus, released on Black Friday, swept through the city. One by one, basic services have failed. Society has collapsed into chaos. The President invokes Presidential Directive 51, and The Division, a top-secret unit of self-supporting tactical agents, is activated,"

this is mainly because they shamelessly ripped off their own Watch Dogs reveal for this game's reveal

I don't think Division had any inspirations from Watch Dogs, more like a real-world based Destiny with survival elements.

Anywho, my gamestop is apparently doing a Last of Us midnight release, so I'll be heading to that.
