I'm thinking of buying a PS3, but I want to make sure it will play all of my PS1 and Ps2 games. Final Fantasy VII, VII DoC, Viii, IX, X, X-2, XII, Resident Evil: CV, 4, Tenchu, Silent Hill 2, 3, 4, Shadow of the Collossus, MGS 2, 3, GoW. Will these play? I'm only doing this for FF XIII, and MGS4. Help me!

the longer you wait though might mean the more of those wont work

supposedly any PS3 MADE, not bought, after april 1st will no longer have the EE chip in it so your BC % will drop from around 98% to about 75%

See how bad the Ps3 is? You have to question whether you want one based on older games. LMAO FFXII and MGS4 are gonna be the only worthwhile games, and they may not even be exclusive anymore. XDzasky141
your a twit kojima already insisted that MGS4 is exclusive

a) your a twit, I'm a TWiT. :)

b) It isn't up to Kojima, it's up to Konami. They need to make money, they can't make money off a game if there aren't enough people to make a large enough profit off of it. Look at it from a business perspective.

well we are both twits then agreed :lol:
and that is why he has Kojima Productions
he does have the last word cuz if Konami tries to F him in the A then he can just roll out and i am sure Sony will be there with open arms ready to embrace his genius
right or wrong?
if Kojima said never Xbox again then Konami will listen cuz then they will lose A LOT of money if he walks

go to the ps3 website and type in your list of games it will tell you the compatibility problems

 

i already know for sure there is major problems, with final fantasy chronicles, anthology, suikoden 2, and 7 and plenty of other games i already looked them up, perhaps there will be a patch to fix this but if you have a ps 2 i would recommend keeping that since it plays all ps1  games flawlessly to my knowledge

besides i just called gamestop today to see how much i could get on trade in for a ps 2, he said 35 dollars i laughed in his face, they are selling them for like 120-130

Konami wouldn't waste a nice game like MGS4 on sh***y-a** hardware like a 500MHz ATI Xenos matched with a *whopping* 3.2GHz processor, come on - this is next-gen. Even a DVD drive wouldn't handle MGS4 I''m sure. Same goes for any new FF game that comes out for the next-gen consoles. PS3 POWER!

Well, in this month's Game Informer Kojima said he wanted to due an X360 title. It was quoted and its there. FFXIII rights are "in discussion" but yes MGS4 -should- remain exclusive still. They were going to try and take advantage of the Cell processor and such that the 360 doesn't have. As for backward compatibility at the beginning of the thread its still planning on being done through software emulation like the 360 for some time to come I'm sure. My PS3 is currently a giant paperweight that I use to play my PS2 games since I traded in my PS2 to help pay for it.

Uh....the PS3's processor is ALSO 3.2 ghz it just has more core's on it. The X360's vid card ATI has more pipelines then the Nvidia one, but the Nvidia one has faster processing so it sort of balances it. The PS3's vid card can also, even though I haven't seen it yet, better render particle effects...so they say. "Reality synthesiszer" and all that jazz.
