...And mod the living daylights out of it.

^90% of the reason to get on PC.
The other 10% are rock stable FPS.

True story bro!

You should have seen what my GTA:SA looked like after an entire summer of modding when I younger.

I couldn't get certain mods down, like the gravity one, but I did plenty of skin mods.

My youngest brother has been playing it everyday on the fatty PS2 lately. I wonder what the game would look like in 1920x1080... maybe I should try it on the emulator... but I know I won't play it because I'm not a fan of GTA games so I can't be bothered to do it, lol.

Is it really that big of a deal lol

To some it is. One big reason I bought a 360 before PS3 was because I didn't have a core XB, and I wanted to play Halo 2 and Conker. I also got my PS2 to play PS1 games since my PS1 broke, and there were lots of great games I had yet to play. I almost skipped getting a Wii to get a BC Wii successor, but Donkey Kong and Pikmin pushed me over (Now Pikmin is gone!).

However I hate how companies limit BC to one gen. PS3 had it right being BC with everything, why stop? I understand DS and 3DS not being able to play old GB games because of the different port, but with disk games there is no excuse, especially since current gen systems can play older gens. If PS4 can play PS1 games I would consider it more strongly then I do now, as I still can't play my Chrono Cross (PS1-PS3 all broken, PS3 I borrow isn't BC).

I remember when Xbox 360 came out and it was "Halo 2 compatible" and that was it lmao.

And a few months later, EGM fucking toasted Peter Moore on why terrible games like Barbie's horse Adventures were 360 compatible but Splinter Cell Chaos Theory wasn't. Fucking win.

Firstly, SONY had to stop BC with the PS3 because of how costly it was to put PS2 components into the PS3, I still don't know why they didn't take the emulation route though.

I don't think the 3DS has a port at the bottom, but the DS did have a port that could fit original GB and GBC games.

And you do know every single PS3 is backwards compatible with PS1 games right?

WHAT? So I could have played Chrono Cross all this time?

I know why Sony stopped with PS2 BC in PS3, but they could have easily gone the emulation route.

As for the DS and 3DS not being able to play old GB and GBC games, I said they could. I said it was understandable because it would involve making another port for the games, which takes up space, and to be honest, most gamers wouldn't use.

Don't quote me on this, but I think it's impossible for the PS3 to emulate the PS2 because the PS2's GPU had a way higher bandwidth than the PS3's GPU, and they can only emulate the CPU.

The first PS3 models had both the CPU (Emotion Engine) and GPU (Graphics Sinthesizer). Then, they took out the CPU and emulated it instead but kept the GPU. After that, when they took out the GPU, emulation was made impossible. I don't really think they could easily go the emulation route, but I may be wrong :P
