CarpetDweller Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I can't answer that question, but would like to add another one as someone can likely answer both together. Let's say I had a European PS3 and an old pal PS2 game which has been noted to have "noticeable differences". Would trying the game in the PS3 (just to see what it's like) have any long term effects on the game if I then used it in a PS2?

Dem57 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 If you live in europe its not likely to work but it will work if you like in an other country,for example the US you can Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/270894-vcs-on-ps3/#findComment-4117960 Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioman Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 from what I read, all ps2 games are backwards compatible with the ps3, so you should be able to play the ps2 version on the ps3. hope this helps.

wnn670 Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 from what I read, all ps2 games are backwards compatible with the ps3, so you should be able to play the ps2 version on the ps3. hope this helps. again as i said above they aren't all compatible. even the ones that are some have problems. sony has a website telling you of them. they grade them (EU) versions, 1 bar means noticable problems, 2 bars means minor problems, 3 bars means no known problems. anyway ive bought vcs and played it a little, no problems as of yet on the ps3.

liesofsilence Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hmm just wondering, are the graphics better than on the PS2? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/270894-vcs-on-ps3/#findComment-4133906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnn670 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 from what i can see they are the same. there might be some subtle differences but i doubt it. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/270894-vcs-on-ps3/#findComment-4137383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC_55david Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 well speaking from an australian viewpoint... i for one am a big wonderer if this is the case, whether it will work or not. im waiting for my ps3 to arrive and i have like 25 PS2 games that i dont want to get rid of and am hoping they will play on it. i have read in other forums...australian ones etc....that all the gta games work, and dont really have much problems despite what sony says, which is good. i just hope it will be the case when i get my ps3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/270894-vcs-on-ps3/#findComment-4137515 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyfox_ninja_gta Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) For the people in Europe. I borrowed the game from a friend. I live in Holland and i can safely say that GTA Vice City Stories works on PAL ps3's. I didn't had any problems, and ive been playing for almost 6 hours. And for the graphics, well they looked great on my TV. Well i have to admit that i play on an Full HD 107 cm Plasma Television with an HDMI cable. It looked actually better then i had in mind first. ( Sharper and clearer then on the ps2 ) A lot of games look great on the ps3 if you play with an component, or HDMI cable like MGS3:Subistance for example. Offcourse the graphics are not like a next gen game but it looks WAY better then GtaIII, Vice City and San Andreas. So if you don't own a psp well get the PS2 Version. ( if you own a PS2, or PS3 lol ) Edited April 4, 2007 by Greyfox_ninja_gta Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/270894-vcs-on-ps3/#findComment-4146520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayze Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've been playing through it on a NTSC PS3 in the US and its fine aside from the normal glitches that occur regardless of the console being played on. And the graphics look basically how I'd expect them to look on a PS2. I've never played it on a PS2 either just the PS3 but the loading times seem like they rip by so idk if thats just the game normally or the PS3 doing that.
