Krazy Ken’s Definition of 100% Ain’t What We Think It Means.
Sony’s supposedly 100% fully backwards compatible Playstation 3 is actually somewhat short of that mark. The BBC is reporting that at least 200 or so games from Sony’s previous systems are not fully compatible with the PS3. While this is still quite a bit better compatibility than the Xbox 360 is with the original Xbox, it does show the difference between how Microsoft handles the press and Sony. Microsoft just comes out and says which games work, assuming that none do, while Sony lies that they are 100% compatible and then leaves it up to the gamers to find which games won’t work after the launch. Now, presumably Sony has a plan for making all of these glitches go away, but as for now, you may have trouble with some of the most popular games on the platforms such as:SOCOM series
Final Fantasy Anthology, Origins, Chronicles, XIII, IX, XI
Guitar Hero controller not working
Need for Speed series
Metal Gear Solid series
DDR games mats not compatible
Burnout 3 Takedown
Devil May Cry series
Onimusha series
ICO
Chrono Cross
Sony has an online database where you can check the status of your older games here. However, many gamers are reporting that that database is not entirely accurate. With the vast number of titles to check, it’s actually no big surprise that the database is not complete yet.
