The Playstation 3 Thread! - everything ps3

[crunc]

I picked up a super-slim PS3 Black Friday bundle for Xmas for me and my boys, and in looking at the games available there's a lot of good exclusives. So I'm kind of excited but the fact that the PS3 can not have more than one chat headset hooked up at the same time (for 2+ people to play online together and chat online with others at same time) is really lame. My kids will be bummed about that. Still, I'm looking forward to playing Uncharted 1&2, Infamous 1&2, Little Big Planet 2 and 3D Dot Game Heroes and whatever else we end up picking up over time. The Uncharted & Infamous games came with the console. The other two I picked it up cheap. I really want to get the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus HD remake bundle. Probably will get that next.

I really looking forward Tales of Xillia, it got a near perfect score on Famitsu. It sad though that this gen has been really lackluster in the JRPG department compared to the previous gens. I know it had to do a lot with the shifts in tastes in America but still...

I got Far Cry 3 for Christmas! It's a really good game and all.. But, there's definitely something wrong with the graphics for me at least. The TV says that it's playing in 720p, but it looks like absolute crap. The textures are horrible. It looks like 360p.

It looks fine for me. Are you sure the TV is displaying in 720p? Maybe try checking your PS3 and TV settings.

It can also be played in 1080p (if you uncheck 720p from the PS3 display settings, leaving 1080p checked).

That'll just force upscaling, either by the PS3 if the game supports it, or by the TV, which could be terrible or brilliant depending on the TV. I don't know what's wrong with his textures though, the game looks fantastic for me on PS3, and I'm also able to play it maxed out on PC which says a lot for the PS3 version considering that's the one I play most.

Little bro (10) got a PS3 for Christmas. He got the bundle that included LEGO HP 5-7, LEGO Batman 2, and LBP Karting. He also got the Jak and Daxter Collection. Can anyone recommend some popular games that he'd enjoy that are rated for his age. My parents are very good about not buying rated-M titles for kids. He says all his games are boring besides J&D (rated-T). Also, if it's a rated-T game, the violence needs to be pretty toned down (not Arkham City or a realistic shooter, etc). Every single game I have on the XBOX is rated-M, so..

I used to love jak and daxter on the PS2. Does he like any sports games? Like NBA or FIFA. Don't know many G or PG games.
Edit: I'm currently playing NFS most wanted and am enjoying it. Maybe if not NFS, then Forza Horizon.

Lego games are awesome lol
Lego LOTR is the best

Any racing game or sports games, if he likes those, will all be fine. Madden, NBA, need for speed etc. They were my favorite at that age, and I still love Madden and NFS.

But yeah, there's not a huge selection compared to the T and M selection, which most of mine are, like you said. Nothing really comes to mind but there's a decent selection. You can go to Playstation's website and browse all game's and filter it by rating. And other sites do that as well.

Yeah, I know right. I picked up 3 lego games 2 weeks ago and by far my favourite is Lego LOTR.
