Poll: Are you backwards compatible?

[aliiicat]

Is anyone going back and playing last-gen games? I'm still finding charm in the 2D games, particuarly the remakes like bionic commando but now i'm finding it hard to play last-gen 3D games without the than shiny graphics and tighter controls. I tried to play a few ps2 games on the weekend and lost interest very quickly, the only ones that still hold their appeal are the cel shaded ones (which i probably won't ever tire of).



is anyone else on the ps3 still playing ps2 games or similarly with the xbox.

 

[nathan-dts]

Yes, as a matter of fact before I posted this I was playing Metal Gear Solid 3 and before that I was playing Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on my PS3

 

[Hellion25]

Yeah all the time. I'm currently playing the GC version of Twilight Princess, but I'm always going back to my old games.

 

[Tryzon]

Oh, I'm a last-gen buyer meself. All the games I couldn't be bothered to buy for full price are now budget, with a few rare exceptions where they've only gone UP in price, but such is typicallity.

I play Battlefront with my cousin every day. I'm still trying to get all the collectibles in Psychonauts. :/

Due to my Xbox loyalty (grrrr.... fanboyism) I am left horribly disappointed with the offering of RPGs so, yes, I am going back and reliving my epic-hero questing glory days on my PSone and PS2 that I bought solely to scratch that particular itch for a decent story and an obsessive need to be the most unstoppable being in the universe.

I can out-"old-fashion" you all by saying recently I've had a sudden urge to play "Kings bounty" on the megadrive and/or DOS. (and I have to play Streets of rage if it's in my line of sight by law) GAAAAWD BLESS EMULATORS!

 

[BardSeed]

I would be if my brother didn't lose my PS2. I got £50 so I can't complain too much.

God I love Streets of Rage. Finally got my hands on a copy of the third one too. Granted tis via virtual console but still. I've lost count of the amount of times I finished the first.

Indeed, for me there's very little of interest on current gen consoles, though there are a few interesting titles coming out in the future. I play mostly oldish strategy on the pc (total war, aoe2 etc). Having recently quit wow after 2 years of addiction to it, i rediscovered mgs2 and many others on the ps2 and xbox.

 

[HSIAMetalKing]

Yes, actually-- I've recently gone on a series of PS2 buying sprees, playing all the games I always meant to play. Sixty bucks can get you a lot of old PS2 games.

 

[Darthracoon]

Yup whenever i get tired of douchebags on psn ranting 'bout how elite they are when they get a shotgun kill i always play hitman:blood money on the ps2 probably my favorite game now and forever(unless littlebigplanet changes that)

 

[anNIALLator]

Maybe some options other than Playstations? Anyway, I'm playing the Nintendo 64 to fill the void left by my broken 360.

 

[clarinetJWD]

Haven't touched a DOS game since Windows came out of the box...

 

[CyberAkuma]

I absolutely LOVE my Nintendo DS.
Right now I'm playing all the classic 8-bit Nintendo games on it (Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania etc) on my Nintendo DS thanks to emulation and a wee bit help from the lovely young fellows at M3

 

[Hurray Forums]

I have exactly one playstation 3 game I play at all. Other then that I just use it as a media center and to play my old ps2 games. Now if only they would make it so I could play music on it WHILE I played ps2 games my life would be complete.

 

[Chiasm]

Very, I love playing indie RPG games still like Geneforge and Eschlon Book 1 just based off of how amazing the gameplay is even if it looks like early 1990 game.

Then again I am one of those freaks who plays Rouge games(Crawl,Castle of the Winds).So I'm sure something is wrong with me.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Damn right, it's why I love my PC

Playing old PS2 games on the PS3, particularly the classics - now if only I can find Silent Hill...

 

[Dudemeister]

kind of.
SNES emulator

 

[TheBadass]

I still play the God of War games, but I'm a graphics whore when it comes to my awesome HD tv; playing things like Spiderman 1 just feels like betrayal.
