Man this era of gaming was something else. My first ps3 game was Resistance Fall of Man and it was the first game that my dad who wasnt even a gamer, played from start to finish and even did a new game + run. We werent really close, especially when I was difficult in highschool, but to have something to share and talk about everytime he came to pick me up when school ended gave us something to look forward to. The same could be said about Gears of War on the xbox 360 and the call of duty games that came after.

I remember giving no_____ while playing cod3 on my brand new PS3 and having a BLAST in campaign as well as multiplayer... those were the times wen our brains knew only enjoyment.. they weren't corrupted by these extra info like FPS and all that... we hv cluttered our brains since then and hv forgot how we used to enjoy these games despite having these shortcomings.. which these so called intellectual youtubers show as very eww and something bad

[@LeesChannel]

I was QA at Sega working on Full Auto 2. We weren't able to test 1080p because 1080p sets were so hard to come by at the time. We finally got one at the very end of the test cycle, but at that point in time all we could do was verify that it ran; we were only allowed to report critical errors.

[@yetanotheruser1989]

I still enjoy playing 'butchered' PC ports on the PlayStation 1 and Sega Saturn that run at an 'unplayable' 15-18 FPS. I get the objective nature of reviewing tech and performance - and I'm really enjoying this video - but at the end of the day, if a game is fun, that is what matters. One example is Ridge Racer 7. It looks beautiful and is a true defining example of 1080p on the PS3.. but for me it cannot compete with Ridge Racer, Rage Racer, or RR Type 4 on the PS1. Or sticking with the same generation, it's not as fun as Sega Rally 07

Digital Foundry and John Linneman have done it again. EXCELLENT production and video on DF Retro, with this PS3 lookback, just like John's previous video of the PS1 launch and launch titles. John, TOP NOTCH content, worthy of being archived for "technological, historical gaming content".

[@OniMirage]

As long as you ignore the subjective reasons for lower scores, then yeah, it's a decent, if not falsely, portrayed video.

[@fd5927]

Subjective reasons for lower scores. Umm ... right .... Umm, Ok .... I'm not sure we're reacting to the same video.

[@OniMirage]

@fd5927 there were 2 games during 2006 in this video which they both had 1080p and 60 but because they weren't triple A they don't get high scores so they recieved a lower score. The video continues that trend throughout. That is a subjective reason for a lower score where they meet the objective of the video but fail anyway?

[@fd5927]

@OniMirage My bad, I thought that the underlying ethos, and also the whole point of the video, was explaining that Sony promised and advertised the PS3 as being an HD 1080P gaming console, while in reality the GPU and subsequently shared ram was woefully sub-par, yet, there were at least "according" to John, at least "sixty", "60" games during the reign of the PS3 that matched that resolution or just matched it.

[@DuelingPeaks]

​@@OniMirage I think it's a case of games like WipEout HD and Ridge Racer 7 looking as good as they do, WHILE hitting 1080/60, that John has factored in here. Let's say they ported the original Pac-Man to PS3 and it ran at 1080/60. Like, yeah, technically it's performing as well as WipEout, but would you score it the same?

[@gordonfreeman809]

If I recall, the 360 did 1080p out of the gate but it did it through VGA. So you still had an analogue signal but not many PC monitors (or HDTVs) had support for 1920x1080 back in 05.

[@michaelmyersplays4992]

True Sony was ahead of its time

[@EpsilonChurchRVB]

If you meant that the 360 came with the capability of throwing out 1080p at launch, sure, but they never truly achieved it, at least until they saw Sony introducing an HDMI slot to PS3. Plus, VGA never truly threw out 1080p. Even then, most games in the 7th gen era were made below 720p in mind in order to push for a higher framerate anyway.

Unfortunately studios are all worried about maximum visual effects over resolution and definitely over framerates.

[@ztsb_koneko]

​@@randybobandy9828 exactly this. For the last couple decades it's visual effects that's been pushed, and always beyond the actual capabilities of the hardware at the cost of resolution and performance. Sadly, the developers are not necessarily in the wrong here - most people will not notice or care about 60 vs 30 FPS or even lower, and even less about resolution. Heck, even DF here is pointing out the lack of advanced rendering techniques and plain look for games that DO hit 1080/60 - even if the game looks perfectly clean without them.

Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow shines on PS2 in my opinion. I know pieces of the game were cut to fit on PS2, but it sort of feels unique on the PS2 and the way they chose carefully where to put dynamic shadows like with the net outside the room in the first mission, etc. The textures also blend better on a CRT TV.

Oh man I can’t wait to watch this!! I JUST finished refurbishing my slim, adding an SSD, and jailbreaking it. I haven’t played Super Stardust HD in over 10 years lol. Also, per a previous video, I ordered the Motorstorm complete edition and Apocalypse. So fun!
