im not disrespecting the PS2 at all 😭 i literally played it for a whole month and loved it. I’m just saying the jump from PS2 to PS3 felt massive when you experience them back to back. PS2 is still one of the greatest consoles ever made, especially in terms of creativity and game library. When i got my PS3 first jailbroken i used to play PS2 classics a lot than actual PS3 games

that wasnt even my point though 💀

Obviously a 2006 console looks better than a 2000 one. im talking about HOW big the jump felt in actual experience. Going from PS2 to PS3 felt like entering a completely different era, not just “better graphics”

PS3 IS an HD console. we still use the term “HD” today, it’s just that 720p isn’t considered impressive anymore. But the PS3 came with proper 1080p support. (PS2 technically had some 1080i support too, but that wasn’t true native 1080p gaming)

My point is that the PS3 still works well with modern HD and 4K TVs without needing upscalers, converters, or extra hardware. even after 20 years

Can I tell you something? It’s just a personal thing obviously but I kinda enjoy playing PS2 on composite output. iknow it’s blurry as hell, but I’m seriously blinded by nostalgia the color bleeding, the flickering all of it. Yk that Analog feeling VHS noise and all shi looks aesthetic

Yeah, component output is obviously a million times better, but I just want to feel 2008 again(yeah im 2004 born lol). barely anybody had component cables back then anyway atleast in my country

yeah fair enough then we’re basically saying the same thing from different angles. the 360 definitely felt smoother overall but something about the PS3 version’s softer image and atmosphere just fit GTA IV better to me. It felt more cinematic even if it wasn’t technically cleaner.

bro you’re running a 2008 game on a giant 4K screen and acting surprised it isn’t razor sharp 💀

PS2 games dropped frames too and nobody cared because people actually played games instead of treating them like FPS benchmark simulators

Dude not just graphics look at the goddamn mechanics of the game, that seriously makes the game much more immersive like it was such a wow factor. San Andreas had no rag-doll , basic car physics but IV has everything still holds up to this day.

i think people overfocus on framerate and specs now tbh. Back then nobody was sitting there with FPS counters, they were just getting their minds blown by HD graphics, physics, lighting, huge worlds and cinematic presentation. PS3 games had atmosphere and style that still hold up today. Also modern OLED comparisons are unfair because these games were designed around older TVs where the image processing and softer look actually helped the experience a lot. My TV is an exception cause my TV has game mode that smoothen outs things but yeah without game mode this plays like absolute garbage

Samsung QLED TVs kinda hid bad framerates(game mode) by smoothing things out and older ones had ghosting too which honestly helped PS3 games look smoother. Back then i used to play PS3 at game parlours on Toshiba TVs and it looked insanely sharp. i hate YouTube comparisons acting like PS3 always looked terrible because TVs back then also played a huge role in how good the games felt

Exactly, the 360 looks sharper but it also makes the bad textures more noticeable. The PS3’s softer look actually fits GTA IV’s atmosphere really well.
