it seems capcom has come out and said DMC 4 is Exclusive to the ps3, i guess that rumor is shot down now

That's of Zero consequence. Remember how Nintendo and Capcom swore up and down for the love of mary, mike, joseph, and all the tea in china that the Capcom 5 were all exclusive to Nintendo and then a couple years later, Veiwtiful joe AND RE4 appeared on PS2 cause Capcom's chairman felt like it should? Remember that?

tis true, but we'll see when it's released, but from a company standpoint it makes sense. of course you'll want to sell more products.

DMC at lanuching for PS3 exclusively, as we know as so far, which really means nothing.....however RE5 was confirmed to be multi-platform.

European Playstation 3 not so backwards compatible

Only one of the top twelve games works

By Dean Pullen: Tuesday 13 March 2007, 13:06
A REPORT FROM German site Cynamite has given us our first glimpse of the new backwards compatibility software emulation within the European Playstation 3.

Sony announced over a week ago that the European version of the PS3 would not feature hardware-based backwards compatibility in the form of the PS2's Emotion Engine.

This is despite both the Japanese and American versions of the console featuring the chip. These therefore offer a significantly high degree of backwards compatibility.

Cynamite has managed to get its hands on a European PAL PS3 prior to the official launch date, and has begun performing backwards compatibility testing.

The list of games tested are claimed by Cynamite to be the top-twelve PS2 software titles, and are listed as followed:

# God of War
# MGS 2: Sons of Liberty
# MGS 3: Snake Eater
# Shadow of the Colossus
# Guitar Hero 2
# Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
# Okami
# GTA: Liberty City Stories
# Eragon
# Final Fantasy X-2
# Ratchet & Clank 3
# Lumines Plus

Its reported that only ONE of these twelve games operates properly - Eragon. All other titles refused to run, and referred the user to future software updates and the Sony Website to read the downward compatibility list.

It's possible that this console hasn't received the latest firmware patch destined for European consoles on release (it was reported to be running 1.50), but if it is the case that the PS3 backwards compatibility will be performing as badly as this, then European gamers will be in uproar. µ

Backward compatibility is overrated. The PS2 was the best selling console of the last generation by a mile. It would be almost guaranteed that someone shelling out for a PS3 would have had a PS2 before. Therefore, backward compatibility would not be something totally necessary. To those who are buying a PS3 with the purpose of playing PS2 games, I have one question: Why? Pay $149 US and get a dam PS2. You will be much more satisfied.

ok im getting a ps3 and yes i had a ps2 but im planning on selling ps2 and playing both my ps2 and ps3 games on my ps3 so backwards compatibility is not over rated unless u want to keep 2 consoles when u could have one with the abilities of both.

couple that with the possibility or better rendering on a ps3 - e.g. look as n64 emulation. superior texture filters and higher resolutions made it look way better on more powerful hardware.

TheApprentice · « **Reply #307 on:** March 14, 2007, 11:43:55 AM »

Sony gonna input software rendering for the old ps2 and ps1 games in the new systems...

Therefore being able to upscale those games to 720p...

That gonna be wicked..

As for now Early Adopters of the system Win

As they got the Emotion Engine for PS2 games early

Yuh pretty much get a beat down dere viv, plus who the hell wants to have to reconnect/disconnect each time yuh want to switch? or are yuh also suggesting to play them on different TVs as well? Backwards compatibility is a HUGE selling point.

Qloxx · « **Reply #309 on:** March 14, 2007, 01:45:25 PM »

Yes it is but the main problem is with the UK models because they took out the Ps2 chipset and wanted to go with total software emulation, witch makes a little sense but i have to admit that not testing it properly first is a big minus.

Ok, I admit if they really do upscale games to 720p, that would be worth it. However, really and truly, how many people will go back and replay a game they played through before especially when you have current gen games to play?

Right now I have my Xbox, PS2 and Xbox 360 hooked up to a HDTV using a switch. No worries there. Yes, it is convenient if you have one machine that can do everything but I see that as a bonus not a necessity. Besides, there is something inherently cool in having a $hitload of game consoles all over your room. It just screams gamer.

Sony's Phil Harrison spoke regarding the recent announcement about the change in European PS3's backwards compatibility list.. As many will already know, Sony is reducing the number of PS2 games that can function on the European PS3, presumably in an effort to cut costs. He has said that "everybody just needs to calm down" and that the "strategy is still in place".

This strategy is a list of 1000 PS2 games that are compatible which Phil was quoted as saying "within that list is the vast majority of games you would want to play". This list is reported to be released on March 23rd including titles that can be downloaded via the PlayStation Network.

As explained by Phil a technical change was made from the "hardware-embedded backwards compatibility solution to one which is a combination of hardware and software". This solution is the reason behind the reduced number of PS2 games on the compatible list, though it will not affect the PS1 compatibility.

there are always those games that youll go back and play when u bored and i agree backwards compatibility mainly helps for the first year but im a guy who loves my Metal Gear and Final Fantasies and i would like to go back and play MGS3 and FFXII once in a while.

Redlum08 · « **Reply #314 on:** March 15, 2007, 10:31:44 AM »

I agree with Laertes. You sound like you trying to convince us to buy a PS3 because of Phil Harrison....

shivadee · « **Reply #315 on:** March 15, 2007, 11:13:07 AM »

I want to point something out that I suppose some people have seen already with TheApprentice posts. Fella, I'm glad you enjoy your PS3, im glad you like it and I'm glad you are entertaining people with these posts.

But you really sound everytime i read a 3-4 paragraph post that you are trying to convince YOURSELF more than US, that a PS3 is worth buying.

The PS3 sitting on shelves all over up here. If there comes a reason to get one (which i hope there will be), dont worry, we not going to have a problem finding one.

lawl @ over supply

2 for one by de bar sales an ting pfft lol

BloodWar · « **Reply #317 on:** March 15, 2007, 11:20:13 AM »

i agree with shiv here i loved my ps1 and ps2 and a bad launch is in not gonna stop me from buying it but i dont understand why people feel the need to convince other people its good let them decide for themselves.

This also goes for the console bashers i hate reading any topic on ps3 on this site because those people who dont like ps3 constantly bash it and it gets pretty annoyying, If you dont like ps3 dont view ps3 topics and stop trying to convince me not to buy one

Exar_Kun · « **Reply #318 on:** March 15, 2007, 11:26:44 AM »

Gawd it's shameful everytime I see this thread and read my first post.
PS3 is so crap and now everyone new to this thread seein me bigging it up.

TheApprentice · « **Reply #319 on:** March 15, 2007, 01:19:37 PM »

...

Whenever I get Sony/PS3 related news...I'll post it here..
I not trying to convince you all to buy it.. but rather showing what going on in the PS world...
