This video is supposed to have surround sound support... which seems to have disappeared since a segment was removed to avoid a ContentID claim... I'm trying to figure out with KZbin if we can reinstate the 5.1 surround sound support! But I do have a video showcasing 5.1 surround sound with several games if you wanna check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHyxYYFrYpaAnLs

bro... i'm 15 rn and i've literally known you since i coudn't even write yet. i was like 2 or 3 years old and i got a wii as birthday gift, so i used to ask my mom to spell "S U P E R M A R I O B R O S" so i could search it on my grandpa's computer and watch your 'new super mario wii' videos... and here i am, still watching your channel. so i'm glad that i have found THAT channel with only 2k subscribers. i do believe that this channel may be an experiment tryna emerge from 0 again (and it's going well), so i feel a little bad commenting here and helping to ruin everything, but i don't think other people would waste their time reading this ginormous text in their own language and i hope that at least here you see it. you've been part of my life and made me a gamer, thank you. ❤ (edit: i saw all of your "como você nunca viu" videos before finding this, but i think i'll start watching these videos on this channel to practice my english, even that it's already good tho)

The PS3/360/Wii era was best there ever is. Most campaigns that time had consistent great writing and charm. Graphics aged well, too, and for many of the games. Combined with the console convenience, it's unbeatable for the experience at the time.

[@frogfarmer3551]

Ps4/xbox one limiting most games to 30fps combined with few games especially in that 2014-2017 period that played above 1080 natively anyway. It really wasnt as big of a leap as the ps2/xbox made. The ps4 pro and xbox one x are "known" in a way that the 7th gens SKUs weren't. Try playing halo 3 on an xbox 360 core or arcade, lol

GOW3 is possibly one of the best looking games on ps3. If i knew about this game about 10 yrs ago i would of thought it would of been one of those next gen games for the xbox 1 and ps4. Thats how good it looks.

[@wrightlawgbc]

The ps3 is still my favorite console to this day. I don't know if it's because I grew up with the 7th gen of consoles, or im just biased. I have so many great memories with the ps3 and x360 I even modded both consoles and serviced the ps3 so it'll last much longer because I love the consoles that much. In my opinion I think gaming peaked during the 6th and 7th generation, that being said there are still good games being released, but it feels like most modern games are rushed cash grabs.

[@VideoGameShowcase]

I feel like we still have passionate developers making great games. But a lot of traditional publishers are too focused on games as a service... and I still prefer a good single player campaign.

[@Crashed131963]

Many great games out there . FF16, BDG3 , New GOD OF WARs , Forbidden West , Alan Wake 2 Many Ps3 games have improved on the Ps4 /Ps5. Who wants to play GOW3 on a Ps3 at 720p/30fps when the Ps4 version plays it at 1080p/60fps. Same with The Last Of US, amd Mass Effects. that are 4k/60fps now on ps5.

[@user-rw7mf4oo1h]

[@wrightlawgbc]

@@Crashed131963 I have a PC so I have no need to ever buy a ps5 the exclusives are not interesting enough to me to make it worth it. However ps3s are dirt cheap and easy to mod. Every new game coming out that I want to play is on PC.

[@wrightlawgbc]

@@VideoGameShowcase I agree there’s definitely still some passionate developers. I more mean a lot of big triple A games recently have been disappointing in the fact that they are rushed in release and filled with bugs and graphic glitches. Wdym as a service? Me too I love single player campaign which is part of the reason as to why I love re visiting old consoles and modding them as they are filled with single player campaign games. My argument is mostly that back in 6th and 7th gen games were released fully finished and ready to play as they should be.

[@4iss.22]

I have both a PS4 and a PS5 Yet I still use my PS3 as my main console The PS3 will forever be my favorite console

[@Rvoyles97]

People just don’t understand how good these games looked on the 27” 720p TVs that many of us had in this era. Totally different experience than the 4k 70” TVs of today. Better in almost every way honestly. Nothing like sitting 2 feet away from screen when things got really intense.

[@VideoGameShowcase]

Yeah, it’s really hard to portray that but the smaller screens actually made a difference

[@nedson6503]

I remember playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion on my first flat screen TV. Flat screen TVs sales started to outsell CRTs Around the time it was released.

[@DrMcMoist]

My first flat screen was indeed a 720p 27 inch display. I remember the first time I played Gears of War on it and I was absolutely blown away. Plus it was nice being able to read the text in Dead Rising.

[@haysoos123]

I still remember playing the PS3 on my first flat-screen TV, which was a 42" 1080p Samsung I believe. It blew my mind! But let's not kid ourselves, those early LCD TVs had significant input lag and were a lot dimmer with way worse contrast than even the cheapest TVs today. But in our memories, they were great and that's what matters.

This was the "bridge" era. The bridge between SD and HD gaming. The time when people began to expect much more out of a gaming console then just games. This was an exciting time as the old gaming console now became a streamer too. HD showed us games we only dreamed possible a few years ago.

[@ryans413]

It wasn’t until the PS4 and Xbox One that I truly saw how good games could be with 1080p gaming. 720p held the developers back a bit because if they gave us 1080p they have to dial back there creative minds to make that happen. For example playing GTA 5 on the PS4 then playing GTA 5 on the PS3 is a night a day difference it’s crazy how much better it is on the PS4. Clear 1080p 60fps and way way more textures the world is way better. Same thing with Last Of Us the PS4 version cleans up all the bad antialiasing that was on the PS3 version. 1080p really helped a lot of games.

I have the Xbox Series X and I recently bought a Backwards Compatible PS3. They are two beastly maschines. I adore the BC PS3. Playing Killzone 2 and then just went to playing MOH Rising sun. Super nostalgia. As a diehard Xbox fan right from the time the Original Xbox came out, I can safely say this, The PS3 (Standard or BC) is one of the greatest ever gaming maschines in history. In my opinion, It far out passed the 360. And I loved my 360 dearly.

@@VideoGameShowcase No problem 😁.If ps5 copy and pasted ps3 with a few improvements and more features to today's standard then it would be the perfect console and with backwards compatibility!!! Or imagine if you could change the home screens from older consoles and more customisation options like in ps2 you can choose some default colours or something. If they would do that l would actually pay even 600 euros but since ps5 is doing less than the ps4 then ain't no way l pay 500 euros for a console with less features and less games and with almost nothing new to the table...

I ran my PS3 on a Hitachi 720p LCD Projector, with a 85 inch screen image. Games looked so impressive. Also it was hooked up via optical cable to a a full Dolby 5.1 sound sound separates system. I enjoyed it a lot, so many great memories. I did struggle with the drops down to 25FPS in some games. I found it tough to fight in Last of Us due to so low FPS. It was much easier at 60FPS when it was updated to run on PS4. My PS3 still works and I do fire it up every so often. There is an awesome game called Dead Space: Extraction that is a on the rails shooter and worked great with the PS Eye and Move Controls.

[@yagoribeiro8603]

Awesome content!

[@CasuallyDeep]

I've looked at a couple of the scenes in this video and I can tell you recorded the gameplay footage at 1080p. (or above) When recording any other resolution other than the native resolution of the console you will inevitably have scaling issues, this is most evident in GTA 5 around 12:37 if you look into the distance that is not what you see on your screen while playing, it's way too blocky. Most games run at 720p and you need to record them at 720p for them to actually look good. Other than that this is a pretty solid video :D

[@VideoGameShowcase]

Hey! There shouldn’t be any scaling issues since I recorded in 4K and that’s a multiple of both 720p (3x) and 1080p (2x). The reason I record in 4K is so I can upload the raw file to KZbin as a back up without losing too much quality! But other stuff in the chain could cause issues like the one you mentioned (zooming, TV scaling, YT scaling, etc)! Thanks a lot for the feedback and I’m glad you like the video!

[@CasuallyDeep]

@@VideoGameShowcase While your logic ( I though the same as you did ) is good it sadly just doesn't work due to the capture card that you use. I also use a 4K Avermedia capture card (GC 553, not the 573 that you're using) there will be scaling issues regardless if the resolution is a multiple of 4K. You can try it when you have time with GTA 5 on the PS3: recording in 720p natively will have a much cleaner image than recording directly in 4K. Maybe you have a two monitor setup and use the passthrough to play the game and just hit record on the other monitor (having the Avermedia software / OBS in a little preview window) and can't see the difference right away. Try using the Avermedia software in fullscreen mode and while in GTA5 press record and you will immediately see the difference, everything gets slightly blockier.

[@CasuallyDeep]

@@VideoGameShowcase You can also see the difference when there is text on the screen, like in God of War 3. I think that example is better to use to see if there are scaling issues since all the letters and numbers will turn from smooth to blocky when you hit record in 4K :D

[@VideoGameShowcase]

Hey! The preview of the recording software doesn’t correspond to the actual recording! The preview will always be scaled so yeah, you will for sure notice a difference there! But with the actual recording and especially with integer multipliers there shouldn’t be any issues! I’ll actually test what you mentioned but for most recording softwares as long as you’re using an integer multiplier and not applying any weird up scaling FX (such as HQx2, Lanczos, etc) it should be a straight multiplier. Thanks again!!!

I would say it looks sharper in person, but mind you i´m not watching on a native 4k display. The Ps3 looks supper sharp in my tv (32 inch, Panasonic Viera, 720p class, 1366x768 native), i think the picture settings also will affect the quality on the picture and i think i have done a good job calibrating the tv settings to get the sharpest picture from the Ps3. Folklore is a game i was always very interested to play since it was launched as an early game on the Ps3 life, surely on my Ps3 wishlist. Also you didn´t mention it, but Shadow of The Colossus and iCO both support 1080p rendering as also do some other few Ps3 games. Thank you for taking your time capturing real hardware gameplay from a real Ps3, i always appreciate when people do real hardware video capture from older consoles, and with great quality also. 😊🥰

I didn't get to have a Playstation 3 until April 2013 since I used Xbox 360 for years and then got a Nintendo Wii in late 2010.

I was mind-blown by all those PS3 titles for its gameplay, graphics, and innovation. Sadly, I didn't get to play Uncharted and I am pretty sure I am too late so hopefully one day. I am glad I got to experience the goodies on the PS3, despite being unemployed forever during the Great Recession.

I got a new PS3 recently (it was actually hardly used if at all, doesn’t even have cosmetic wear and tear). The game I got is Metal Gear Solid 4. It actually looks pretty good on my 65” LG C2 OLED. I was originally playing it through the first playthrough on my 30” Sanyo HT30746 HD CRT. I ended up curious how it would look and play on my OLED and I was pleasantly surprised. This OLED actually has the closest to the flawless motion handling of my CRT I’ve seen on a sample and hold display, which is actually rather impressive. When running at 60 FPS, as MGS4 does run 60 FPS is certain locations, the motion resolution is almost completely free of motion blur. If the C2 OLED is this good at 60 FPS, I could only imagine the upcoming 2024 C4 OLED’s

The PS3 still amazes me to this day, even at 720p some games still look really good on that console. Unfortunately most games runs at 30 fps locked or below, some games have heavy stuttering going on during gameplay, some games are just so unoptimized, that they are barely playable (i still ask myself, on how a friend of me was even able to enjoy the horrible mess, that is TES: Skyrim on the PS3, which ran worse, than the pc version on my dual core potato pc, back, when it came out). There are some amazing gems on the PS3, i absolutely adored The Last of Us on the PS3 and how awsome it looks (had shown to some friends, on how amazing it looked and what the PS3 is actually is capable of), the day i saw GTA V in its full glory on the PS3 at a friends house, i've got myself a copy the very next day, because it amazed me that much. Thanks to your video i now know some other gems, i missed and will happily look out for them (i still have my PS3 Super Slim and it works just fine, after some cleaning, i'm looking out for an 1tb or 2tb upgrade for it, to download my entire online library, who knows, on how long the PS3 playstore will be held online). Thanks for your effort.

[@VideoGameShowcase]

Ah thanks a lot for the feedback!!! And yes, some PS3 ports were a miss! Notably Bayonetta!

[@TerminatorZXY]

God of War Ascension looks even better on PS3 than God of War 3.

[@cactusjack9504]

I still play my old ps3 till this Day! I play on my 4k Oled 77 inch tv 📺 matter of fact I was playing killzone 2 last night, it always take me back to the good ole days 😢

[@rul644]

Very impressive video you made! I was another victim of ylod, years ago and i couldn't finish some games..I've just got a second hand ps3, fortunally, It seems to work perfectly. I need to buy some cable adaptors and another stuff but i can't wait to enjoy that beautiful games😊

[@VideoGameShowcase]

Glad you got one! It’s a great platform with lots of amazing games and fortunately still accessible, prices haven’t been inflated yet!

There was a really underrated game from that 7th gen era similar to God Hand on the PS2: it was mocked on release but gained a cult following after. I think the game was called "Bilada", I need to replay it on my PS3 some time, a cult classic.

I'm old enough to have had the original Nintendo as a first console. Still, the PS3 is one of my favorite consoles and era. The games were fresher. These days, new experiences are few and far between. My favorite consoles are SNES and PS3. I do like the fact loads of talented people do great 2D games now, though.

[@bsd107]

Nice video. You should have recorded in 1080p/60 as that is what the PS3 actually output to TV’s at the time

[@VideoGameShowcase]

Recording at a higher resolution that is an integer multiplier retains the proper look of the games, and publishing at 4K on KZbin forces a higher bitrate and better codec... KZbin does a really poor job at 720p and 1080p so it makes a huge difference to upload in 1440p (2x720p) or 2160p (2x1080p or 3x720p)! Also: most games on the PS3 ran either at or below 720p natively. Some do run higher than that, but those are exceptions, not the general rule! Thanks a lot!!!

[@KyudoKun]

I have so much nostalgia of PS3 even though I didn't get the chance to have one. I was a PC user since forever. The PS I had was PS1 back in the 2000

[@user-vf2pg4ve4n]

Yooh my first game on ps3 was also LBP , together with MotorStorm Pacific Rift...(another looker) loved it because you could make your own levels and share them and just keep playing for weeks (one of the big reasons i got the LBP Ps3 pack)

[@VideoGameShowcase]

LBP is awesome!

[@chaosconspectus]

i play my PS3 and 360 on a plasma TV, its still amazing.

[@agus.lorenzo]

Dude, amazing video. BUT: You should re record everything using the mCable. It really makes a difference. The recorder will maintain the resolution boost ant antialiasing of the mClassic adapter cable and you will truly see what the ps3 is capable when maximizing it’s output. Anyway, amazing video, really.

[@VideoGameShowcase]

I'll be honest: not a fan of the mCable for every application. I've used it and I like for some specific uses, but many times it washes out the image (crushes blacks, brightens whites)! And the mCable wouldn't represent how the PS3 actually looked like! But it would be a good topic for another video! Thanks a lot!!!

[@porkysoda5899]

AC:Black Flag was the first game we used an optical cable for our box set surround system. Night and day difference in clarity.

[@VideoGameShowcase]

Yeah, it’s awesome! Unfortunately for this video KZbin took away the surround sound support due to a ContentID claim! But I have a dedicated video about surround sound that you can watch in 5.1 if your setup supports it! Thanks!

[@ragnalamb]

Ps3 has to be my favorite console of all time...

[@Whyteeford]

The very top cream of the crop visual games of PS3 look better than most PS4 games. I still have my original fat PS3, still working flawlessly

[@CaioBerkley]

Most of the games are in PT-BR, you’re brazillian too? Btw great video, you got a new sub.

[@VideoGameShowcase]

Yes! And thanks 😁

[@oscarloria]

Remember that MGSTPP also have a release on PS3 :-)

[@DavidBrocekArt]

I always felt like the jump between PS2 and PS3 era was much greater than PS3 to PS4. PS2 to PS3 was just completely overhauled graphics and style. While PS3 to PS4 felt more like just better resolution and antialiasing.

[@gopro2027]

Neat tip. If you jailbreak your ps3 you can disable hdcp in the dev settings.

[@LiuLoki]

Nice video amigo, que achado

[@jonathanplooij3666]

One thing i enjoyed about the ps3 was being able to use a us psn account while living in europe. That way i was finally able to play both parasite eve games (and many other ps1 & ps2 without 50hz). I don't understand why so many of the ps1 and ps2 classics are unavailable on ps5.

Men Mirror's Edge 1 looks amazing too

[@robmthe1st]

The ps3 was so powerful at the time that the US military used thousands of them linked up to build a super computer! It was so good I kept it going and passed on the ps4 and finally retired it at ps5. This console truly is a masterpiece.

[@bigboulder]

Yeah i remember the really bad aliasing on PS3 and 360... im glad that these issues are solved on all platforms now.

[@Herozonex200]

I just wanted to tell you dude, Thank you so much for your information on recording ps3 gameplay straight up! The thing is all i had was my elgato and had footage. In early march, i try to get the capture card to work and couldn't do it. I try looking up all over youtube to find out how to get footage to record gameplay on ps3. i had buy so many splitters it aint even funny. I have that exact same splitter with me. If it takes for me to use avermedia to record so be it!

[@VideoGameShowcase]

The main thing is that a lot of splitters that used to break encryption don’t anymore. And some new ones do. I recommend you buy some from Amazon to find one that does, and return the rest.

[@Herozonex200]

@@VideoGameShowcase Alright. So isn't that the same splitter you use or what do you recommend me to use?

[@VideoGameShowcase]

I don’t know if that one is still sold or still strips HDCP, I bought it around 11 years ago!

[@Herozonex200]

@@VideoGameShowcase its still being sold online but before I buy the one you have, how the heck you put it inside the ps3? That avermedia is something you need to put inside the console. Am I'm right or am I'm wrong?

[@aidenquinn19975]

for me, my favorite display of PS3 graphics was the Motorsport games. Pacific Rift is still a really pretty racing game

[@Makalon102]

Going from the non hd CRT era to the HDTV PS3 era was a nice jump that has not happened since

[@Del-Canada]

My younger brother still has his PS1 memory cards and all of his PS2 trophy vids for Gran Turismo on his channel.

RE also, and a bunch of others. Can find some of them on my channel that I swiped from him. Nothing great, but some damn near impossible PS2 trophies.
