PS2 > 1 > 3 > 4.
Anything else is wrong, if you don’t agree, go fuck yourself.

 

[synchronicity]

They've all been great though imho.

 

[AV]

The original big boi PS3 that played PS1, 2 and 3 discs, since it's the most Playstation. Posers will forget this and put 1 and 2 over 3.

Also, no-one could steal it, because it took three men to lift.

 

[Hitchyhero]

Ps2 by far. We're spoilt for choice on games

 

[MasterDerico]

2 no question
Then 1 and 3
4 sucks

Almost the same opinion here. For me ps4 doesn't suck, but its not on par with 1, 2 and 3.

 

[EverydayBeast]

4 is the most established Playstation console to date.

In order from greatest to least favorite.

1. PS2
2. PS1
3. PS3
4. PS4

Like em' all, though.

 

[MiguelItUp]

PS2. The hardware blew me away in more ways than one. Then there were SOOOOOO many incredibly timeless games on it.

PS1 got those start-up screens and sounds though. Man.

 

[Vawn]

4 > 1 > 3 > 2

But, that's probably just because I was less into gaming overall in the PS2 years.

 

[Knitted Knight]

I've come around to the PS3 cause of Uncharted. Uncharted 2 is gaming bliss.

[JORMBO]

PS1. Everyone was trying new and crazy things with the move to 3d. It was also a JRPG powerhouse and gave birth to some of my favorite franchises like Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, etc.

 

[Calverz]

In terms of looks it easily goes to the PS2 for me. That design is timeless i think.
Im terms of software and generally corporate attitude etc. Then the original Playstation for me. Sony were so good back in the early days. We’ll see how PS5 fairs.

 

[bosnianpie]

Original PS because of nostalgia, but PS4 had the best content.

That actually looks so good. Another ken kutaragi classic. I bet its scratched to fuck now though lol

Yeah, not mine, sadly mine died after years of service and there was nothing we could do.

Well, I was at university at the time, so once it was dead we got wasted and threw it out of a four story window.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Its hard. I go back to PS1 games more then PS2. Those JRPG’s.

But PS2 was amazing. but then PS3 gave me Demon Souls, Uncharted 2, Dark Souls, TLOU etc

But Also PS4 gave me Bloodborne, God of War, Sekiro. RE2 remake. Horizon, Uncharted 4 etc

I cant choose lol. Depends on the day

 

[Lupin3]

PS2 was amazing, but there can be only 1.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

PS4, I'm not a slave to nostalgia.

 

[EliteClarity]

PS2 for me. I was mid teens and the games were fantastic. It took what the PS1 did and just bumped it up that bit more to the point I remember thinking "WOW" straight away and loved the releases on it

• Bully
• Burnout
• Timesplittters 2
• WWE Here comes the Pain
• Ico
• God of War
• MGS 3

Loved them all and it really ignited a passion for those types of games as it took the PS1 foundations on some of them and built on it.

 

[Sub_Level]

PS1. The graphics do not bother me in the slightest.

Silent Hill is as spooky today as it was back then. In fact its probably even more disturbing now.

 

[Birdo]

PS2. PS3 is a close second.

Mainly because this gen was a bust for racing games.

 

[SpiceRacz]

PS3. I miss fucking around in Playstation Home.

 

[GametimeUK]

Call me crazy, but PS3.

I know the machine is a bit of a mess, but I just absolutely adored it and it's exclusive line up.

 

[Calverz]

Yeah, not mine, sadly mine died after years of service and there was nothing we could do.

Hahaha i loved uni days for shit like that

 

[BaneIsPain]

All of them mate. For old days, PSone I guess.

 

[Warnen]

2 or 4. Got in on 1 very late in the gen(was a sega kid), 3 wasn't great until the end really.

Picked 2 because it was the last time I lined up for an instore launch, peak of gaming really.

 

[01011001]

Console PS2.

but if we include handhelds it's the PSP
I was so hyped for that thing that I imported a Japanese launch version because in Europe it came out way later, which back then was still very normal.

I had every major revision (minus the E1000 model...) and still have and love my PSPgo


and I do have some nostalgia for the PS1 since it was my first home Console, I only had a GB Pocket before that.
but realistically the PS2 was just way better.

 

[MrS]

PS4 for me. Had some great games this gen.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

I think it was Playstation 3 to be fair. It started pretty bad, but turned out really good by it's end, and in my opinion considerably better than PS4.

PS3 had all the 3rd party support with the introduction of titles like Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 and Far Cry 3, but it also had tons of exclusive titles that were REALLY good and solid games such as: Resistance franchise, Killzone 2, Uncharted 1 to 3, The Last of Us, InFamous, Motorstorm, Metal Gear Solid 4, Warhawk and God of War 3.

Basically, it was a console that introduced Sony's best franchises to date or had one of the best titles from an ongoing franchise.

God of War 3 is the best in the franchise imo, and much better than 2018's GoW.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is the perfect end the franchise needed (I still think MGS V was unnecessary).
ND managed to make 4 great games in one generation, introducing both Uncharted and The Last of Us.
Insominac managed to deliver 3 Resistance games.
Killzone 2 was one of the best first person shooters I played (although 3 and Shadow Fall didn't even reach the surface)
Motorstorm and Warhawk were pure fun.
And Sucker Punch delivered InFamous 1 and 2, and both of them were much better than InFamous SS.

PS4 is an awesome console, but it definitely didn't manage to deliver so many good games as PS3 did back then.

 

[dano1]

Every new one gets better in all aspects. So the PS5 On November 12th.

 

[mango drank]

PS1. I like more games from that era than I do from any of the others.

1 > 2 > 4 > 3

 

[Ps5ProFoSho]

PSone. Bought it myself with my first paycheck. It's what made me a gamer. Can't deny the OG

 

[MilkyJoe]

PS1 fuck those cold winter nights playing Diehard 2,Worms and Tekken 2...

Fuck Sony for their shitty stance on BC.

 

[yurqqa]

I don't think anyone who had PS2 could vote for anything else.

P.S. Except maybe PS1 for nostalgic reasons.

 

[TexMex]

Honestly incredibly tough. The difference in enjoyment from one console to the next is measured in tenths of a point. I went with PS2, but almost arbitrarily.

 

[Hudo]

Sony PlayStation 2, easily. PlayStation 3 and 4 are incredible letdowns in comparison.

 

[Enzo88]

PS1 by a lot, it changed everything. I like ps2 as well, but i never understood why many consider it in the goat conversation, that battle belongs to snes and ps1 alone.

 

[RaySoft]

PSX for me, with the PS2 as a close second.

 

[Iced Arcade]

PS1... that mod chip was godly and elevated the PS name.
