The TRUTH about the PS3's backwards compatibility...
Loading...
Uploaded by slurrey on Dec 12, 2006
FIXED in firmware 1.50!
PS1/PS2 upscaling in 1.80! But it's not REAL upscaling. Why? Cause the polygons themselves aren't rendered in high def, the entire image output is just put through a filter to make it look upscaled. The same method is used for upscaling DVD picture quality to 720p/1080i/1080p.
============================
The glitch shown in this video only occurs on firmwares earlier than 1.5!

I played my PS1 and PS2 disc games on an emulator, and wow the difference is better on the emulator than on the PS3. Gaming console companies nowadays hold back the capabilities on their system (via urgent blah blah blah updates) which I don't get. I think it better control on where the company think I should put my money. People who think there's nothing wrong with that are sheeps. *Ba-ah-ah-ah!*

Uploader didn't know what 'upscaling' means.

@psx2514 Good for you!!! But that doesn't answer my question.
-
@VaMaZa666 except for the fact that Sony advertises backward compatibility on the PS3 and people bought them with the understanding that they would play AND would be upconverted, not downgraded!
-
Okay people contact Sony by phone or email here to tell them to put full bc back on the ps3.
-
After 6 years this argument is still valid smh Sony.
