>PS3
Every multiplat runs better in 360 anyway, i guess now i can play mgs4 for free i guess

Im stoked af

PS3 Vesperia has additional content

You could have gotten proficient enough in japanese to play the ps3 version in the time you shits have spent crying about it not being available in english.

Does Witch and the hundred knight has that fan patch that fixed the shitty performance?

just cant wait for sony release a update fixing this exploit one year later

And looks way worse

Is it better than the 360 version? I hear the english dub is actually fantastic.

>exploit-around-christmas
>Pirate scum announce their dastardly plan ahead of time
>A day before the release the website is taken down and raided by cops
It never ends. Why do people even bother announcing these kind of things ahead of time? Several Japanese eroge translations were killed at 99% because the idiots announced it two months before completion.

360 and ps3 version are both same framerate and resolution

>tfw I just fucking sent out my PS3 to get downgraded
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You're a retard. Do you just say shit to say it?

Incorrect

PS3 runs worse and is 1280x576 instead 1280x720 so it looks blurrier

And the AA?

1. Source?
2. That's not "way worse".

I want to get a used PS3, what model number should i be looking for this exploit method downgrade?

Areas that run at a rock solid 30/60fps(different caps for combat and overworld) run at least 5 or so fps worse on ps3

I know it says demo but the full game is exactly the same

Why would I care about console multiplats?

This
They can't keep it in their pants.

I was contemplating getting another ps3 for vesperia

wait, didn't this have an english patch already?

>lost the charge cord for my DS3 so I can't even use my PS3.
Fug.

>announcing it
You fucking retards.
So how does it work?

i own the 360 and ps3 versions and they play exactly the same and look the same. the ps3 version is superior because it has more content a blu-ray can hold but the dvd-r on 360 can't.

Its just a mini usb cable. You can pick that shit up cheap.

That's not how it works. If that's the case then why did Mafia 2 run worse on PS3?
Vesperia PS3 runs slightly worse.

go into ps3 web browser, enter website link, your ps3 will reboot, then you install a special CFW for 4.81

Sounds too easy and it comes around Christmas?
Sony will patch it quick.

I bought a downgradable PS3 recently, does that mean I should just wait for that instead of buying a flasher and go through the hassle?

too late to patch it ps3 already ded

When can we emulate it?

Will it work on super slim?

Y not. Just make a pc port with upsCale rez I gess thare trying to sell thos ps3s agen this is realy sad

Couldn't I just emulate it via RPCS3?

Jailbreaking a console isn't illegal you fuckwit

Runs like shit. Devs only care about making P5 run well.

The game barely runs

Vesperia is nearly unplayable on it. Besides, I don't see PS3 emulation going much farther than getting P5 and Demon's Souls working.

Buy one for $3 off eBay

>People are actually excited to play vesperia 10 years later with annoying as fuck voice acting on everyone besides yuri, flynn and judith

Oh fuck, I really hope this is OFW to CFW if you are already on 4.81. If you need to be on 4.80 or lower, I'm gonna be fucking MAD.

Did they ever get CFW that doesn't make it so you can't play games online or download PSN stuff?

This is cool and all, but at the same time isn't Vesperia the next game that's gonna get the remaster treatment anyway?

No. What the fuck does it need a remaster for? It already got a definitive version upgrade.

Hope it is as simple as Wii U/3DS. Dream would be to be PSP tier braindead.

hahahahahahaha _I_ fucking wish

I waited 20 years to play the final completed build of starfox 2 with the missing elements from the beta. This is nothing. I love my videogames.

why would it matter if you can't download PSN stuff?

Damn, that's amazing actually. I want to change my old slim to superslim.

Like on your shelf?

The smaller - the better.

Is this the current firmware? Is hombrew easy? I might just do it after I finish a few games.

can you play ps2 games with it too?

So do you need to just completely disconnect your PS3 from the internet for this? I don't want to get banned.

>Buy a game on PSN
>End up deleting it to make space for something else because PS3 slim has crappy hard drive space compared to how big games were
>If I ever want to play this game again I have to redownload it

Yes but emulation isn't perfect so you better use your PC,

RPCS3 will probably be able to play ToV by christmas too.

Because Mafia 2 is more demanding than a fucking JRPG you mong

Games get pointless remasters nowadays and Namco has to know that a PS4 version of Vesperia would sell really well considering it's one of the few times the series had a game that was well received outside of the Tales fandom.

but you'd have CFW, you could just get whatever you want again that way...

>I don't want to get banned
What can you possibly still play on PS3 online?

every fighting game worth playing and demon souls

Not him but I just started White Knight Chronicles 1 and if the exploit ends up getting it's own online (the real servers are dead) maybe I can play it with people on Sup Forums.

Why isn't this on wololo.net/? The site has nothing but news from September the fuck

I have a PS4, I don't want my account banned.

Gotta get those sweet Project Diva edits.

Did anyone ever use that "Russian" hack where you could load 1 game at a time? I think you had to reinstall the entire game every time you turned off the console or something, though.

>every fighting game
Those fuckers on PS3 are so damn annoying with their long loading times. Literally kys, poorfag.

You forgot soul calibur 4

Doesn't Dengeki Bunko run at 60 fps on RPCS3 now?

Okay but the problem is that PS3 games are very hard to find on the internet and even if you do find them they're huge and setting up HDDs on the PS3 is a drag

You can just download the FW patches and install manually, or at least you used to be able to

>Okay but the problem is that PS3 games are very hard to find on the internet
Nope. And I'm not going to tell you where. Also most people will have built up quite the collection. Really the only thing people will probably be pirating with be hard to get and obscure shit.

Realistically, I'll be using mine for my PS2 games because the 480i signal through component looks like shit on PS2, but I like the PS3's texture smoothing option. If only it was just as good for PS1 games.

Oh yeah, like the safe mode shit installation, right? Where you hold the button and it beeps three times or something?

Yeah
I think it gives you the option to install from local media in the system update menu itself, it was like that on PSP

I hope every console ends up being as easily hacked as the PSP. What a shitshow.

Space is still an issue

even if they were hard to find, this will be the first time the system will be widespread hacked
if this works out I'm sure the scene for games will grow

Isnt the PS3's PS2 player have a ton of compatibility issues? Not to mention input lag, I noticed when I bought God Hand

You realize some people play using their PSN accounts on Vita and PS4 as well, right? and they buy shit on those systems as well, right? It's not just the Ps3's online you moron.

You can't get banned if you're offline, dumdum.

Playing a Tales game for the graphics?


Yeah I'll take extra content and JPN audio. The 360 release was a demo for the full game.

Sony does t care about the PS3 anymore. They've had 60-90% sales on everything for two years now.
Just trying to squeeze the last drops of cash out of it until they put it into supoort mode(downloads of owned games only).


BTW ; is there a proper fantranslation of Yakuza Kenzan out?

>BTW ; is there a proper fantranslation of Yakuza Kenzan out?
No, and don't expect one for a long while. Just use KHHSubs' guide and deal with it because the guy working on the fan translation isn't even close to a state of releasing it and he has no translators, he's simply putting what KHH translated into the game.

if you need space then make it, you'll need to do that no matter what

They cant possibly do that if you never log into PSN on your PS3 after a wipe.


Right?...

current official firmware.

>to combat this, bamco releases the PS3 version on PC

Don't give a shit. MGO2 is playable on OFW.

Oh yeah, there is that.

Is there a list for what works on what models?

10th anniversary is in 2018 so Im expecting current era ports for PS4 and PC.

You can buy cheap as fuck terrabyte drives everywhere.

I think the PS3 supports up to 750GB internally.
Games also gave a lot of empty dummy files for anti-piracy reasons.
Most PS3 games are around 20GB max without them.

I completed Ishiin using the guide on that site.
Is it as comprehensive as that one?

What? But i already played it with English patch like a year ago?

Not at all. You need to use the GameFAQs if you want to 100% the game, all KHH's guide is for is for the main story and chapter 4 and one of 5's substories. If you've watched the cutscene guide of the first two chapters of Ishin it's exactly like that but for the entire main story.

Original ps3 is the perfect way to play ps2 games if you want them exactly how they were on ps2
Later models had a ps2 emulator but they got rid of that also for newer models

It's probably a shit hack where you have to keep your PS3 running all the time or it goes away and never connect it to the Internet.

Namco won't release the game without a dub, and unlike symphonia re-release half the voice cast in this game consider themselves too good for anime games now

>Bitter 3.55 fag

ps3 has a playable pirate loli, therefore ps3 > 360

That's the only correct answer.
