PS4. I bought a PS3 last year due to the low cost, but it doesn't look good on my OLED. I had rose-tinted spectacles about how games looked on the PS3!

Yup, thats why i said either console would be fine for GoW3. It seems they want to play other PS3 exclusives though.

PS 3 is not one of the best consoles ever, so i guess PS4. Pro probably wouldn't be a bad shout though.

PS3 was the better generation imo. So many great games like the Resistance and Killzone series. Easy choice for me.Thanks for the tips, gentlemen. and thanks for the screenshotsBojji You won't believe how difficult it's been to get a decent representation
.
Re PS5 - i'm kind of doing this on a budget as my free time is almost zero these days, so i'll kick myself if i sped 5 or 600 on a console and games and they just collect dust, i just thought it's time i try LoU and GoW3 etc

The PS360 generation was the peak of gaming but most of it has been remade. Is the same playing Alan Wake of Mass Effect 2 today? Probably not. On the other hand even not being as impressive today as it was 25 years ago I prefer playing something like Halo 3 to whatever modern day gaming has to offer. So, are you off to the promised land? No, but on the other hand:

I feel exactly the same, imagine modern remasters of all those games, would be perfect! I remember being shown ta screenshot in a magazine during PS2/OG era and being blown away

ps3 tried to be something special and massively underdelivered (like... catastrophically), but it was a wild ride and i respect the attempt.
but damn is the ps3 super slim ugly and cheap.
ps3 scared sony so bad that the ps4 was as safe and boring as could be.
...but the ps4 controller was the first ps controller that felt good in my hands.
i choose ps3.

PS4 has better graphics, but PS3 can work as a grill

Even if you never played a single PS3 game on it you get free PS2/PS1 upscaling.Most of PS3 Games are forgettable
0 for 3, buddy.

PS3 needing to rely on older games from the PS1 and PS2 doesn't make that console good. Even if they upscale the games for PS1/PS2. Most of the games that were developed for PS3 just doesn't Interest me. PS3 is Sony worst console
So
The actual score is 3 for 0

The thing about the PS4 is that while it was technically better, the game design was a complete rehash of existing IPs on PS3. We gained a few new genres on PS4 like BRs but we lost the arcade racing, arcade sports, music games, etc genres. All in all, a major L for the ps4. That being said, PS4 is still much much better than PS5 which is by far the least creative and most boring gen in history from AAA.

PS3 is overpriced Garbage with some of the most boring exclusives on that system
PS4 at least has a good amount of games from both Western and Japanese Developers

The OP asked if he should get a PS3 or a PS4. You responded PS2. I said 60 GB PS3 as it is objectively better than any dedicated PS2 and still answers the OP's question with an option that he asked for, a checkmate on your position that he should get a PS2 instead. German Hops got it. You, apparently, did not.
Imagine calling your opinion that the PS3's library is personally uninteresting a "checkmate." Words mean things, dude, you checkmated nothing.

That was 80% known for Western games.

BTW backward compatability doesn't count as a selling point for the PS3. The PS4 has the better library and had no backwards compatibility
The only downside to PS4 is the transfer of power to Sony Western Branch. By that time that started to happen, I started to game more on PC since more and more Japanese Third Parties were releasing on Steam. So I guess PC should be the correct answer?
So Checkmate buddy

50/50. PS3 didn't have a mainline Dragon Quest, a Final Fantasy that was actually liked, stuff like Persona 5 and Nier Automata becoming big, or the ultimate "PC port when?" game, Bloodborne.The PS4 was 84% known for Western games.
Fuck, even RE7 and RE2 compared to RE5 and RE6, lol.

You wouldn't have Bloodborne without DeSo. Nier's roots go back to the PS2 and were codified on PS3. Persona 5 released on PS3. Final Fantasy hasn't been good since the PSX. Also, 97% of smart people agree with my 84% figure about the PS4.

Nobody played P5 on PS3, and for FF, I kinda agree, but that's another matter.
That's not even going into Death Stranding (better than MGS4, and there's also MGS5 anyway), The Last Guardian (no Team Ico game on PS3), Gravity Rush 2 (Project Siren's only PS3 project was an americanized Siren remake), Astro Bot Rescue Mission (we couldn't even get an Ape Escape 4 on PS3), KH3 (series sucks as a whole, but then again nothing on PS3) Ace Combat 7 (6 was a X360 exclusive), DMC5 being a whole world better than 4 and DmC, Monster Hunter World which made the series popular in the West, the same that could be said for Yakuza 0, plus Yakuza 7 that was a good spin on the formula, Nioh 1 and 2 that were miles better than what? Ninja Gaiden 3?
You know it's the truth.

My 5th PS3!!!!1111
I don't know but I always end up with this console at some point (and then sell it after few months lol).
This time it's (a bit worse) 300x model. My previous 250x was amazing but this one is good to
This one with almost mint condition ORIGINAL DS3 with good battery (this shit is rare) and original box (rare as well). Console works absolutely fine.
Again, PS3 looks surprisingly good on OLED, response times are good and even 30fps doesn't look as bad as in PS4 and PS5 games for some reason (I don't know why).
What surprised me is that even after months and years of not being subscribed to PS+ (but still using account all the time) my saves are still in the cloud:
PSN is still there so kudos for Sony for almost 19 years of support (at this point). I bought KZ2 and KZ3 on discs (for peanuts) and I'm really happy with my purchase.
Once PSN dies I will just mod it and unlock full potential.

I preferred the PS3.
Uncharted 1-3, TLOU1, Bioshock 1/2/Infinite, Mass Effect trilogy, Resistance trilogy, Motorstorm trilogy, Puppeteer, Killzone 2/3, Dead Space, Vanquish, so many gems.
The leaps forward in gaming during that generation were more impressive to me personally, whereas by the time of PS4 is felt more like refinement than revolution.
