Best single player PS3 games

[sparks_E39]

Bored of my Xbox One so i picked up a slim 160gb PS3 slim with 15 games for £80 on Facebook- bargain! I’ve picked up the following:

Metal Gear Solid HD collection (MGS3 Snake Eater is an all time favourite of mine)
Metal Gear Solid 4
Far Cry 3
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Uncharted 2&3
Arkham Asylum and Arkham City
The Last of Us
Killzone 2

Any other suggestions?

Cheers!

Dead Island
Dishonored
Dead Space
BioShock

Lots and lots of great ps3 single player games out there and most can be picked up for a couple of quid!

Red Dead Redemption as also a classic

Thanks, have also downloaded GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas as the trilogy is currently only £7.99.

Well I don’t have 4K, but it’s a fairly new 49 inch Toshiba and it looks great! When I previously had a PS3 years ago I only had a 720p TV, so not full HD really. Far Cry 3 has aged really well, doesn’t look 5 years old! I haven’t really found the current gen a huge leap forward in the graphics department to be honest.

How was the PS3 on this? (Sorry for the daft questions.)

Also, I have a 568p TV (well, that's what it says when I connect the PS2) - will the PS3 look better? With component cables things look a bit ruddy.

I got really bored with that and just couldn't be bothered with it in the end. It does get really good reviews though.

The PS2 will look like butt on a HDTV as they were never optimised for them.

Is yours HD? What’s your TV make/model? PS3 on a HDTV through HDMI will look fine. It looked fine on my 720p, but somewhat better on the full HD one we have now. If your TV is relatively modern (within 10 years) , it should have HDMI capability.

Dead Space

I really enjoyed that as well, I loved Heavy Rain but that's very much a marmite game.

Yes, it is HDMI and says HD Ready.

3D Dot Game Heroes. It's like a 3D Zelda circa NES/SNES.

You're welcome.

Borderlands 2...

Ps3 looks great on HDMi 50" or 40" or whatever 1080p.

Yes it isn't a PS4 at nearly 60fps 1080p but it looks good.

Dark Souls and Demons Souls are two good single player games. Very hard and initially maybe not too appealing but once you get into them!!!

I really enjoyed Skyrim when I first played it through but you get a better experience on your next gen console with the extra gfx and processor power.

There are literally hundreds to choose from. Just google a top 100 list and select from there.

As for PS2. Again, if you do a comparison you will not be impressed but if you get the right cables you can enjoy the gaming experience totally. It is well worth looking into the best solution as the variety of picture quality across all the different cable options is quite something.

Yeah - I upgraded the cables to components from SCART. I think that's the best for PS2? It's a bit pixelated on a 32" screen.

You could try and go down the RGB route, although it gets to personal taste at this point.

Hang on. You mean I might have not got the best cables for the PS2?? These are upgrades from the standard one.

I didn't say that. I said it's personal preference one you move away from SCART.

I play my N64 using components and I like it. The fuzziness etc. I could do an RGB mod and play with a crisper image but I think it'd look too clinical, so I don't do that.

On my Mega Drive though I have the RGB mod because the graphics suit being crisp.

I'm not rich enough (time or money) to get a PS2 so I don't know whether an RGB connection would be better for you.

PS2 looks better on a CRT TV from my experience.

Ohhh, I see. I'll leave it as it is, then.
