Does Metal gear solid 3 subsistence work on ps3?

I have a NTSC ps3 and I have yet to play MGS3, I was wondering if anybody knew if MGS3(NTSC)works on the PS3 system or if there are any problems with it??
don't want to spend my money on the game if it dosen't work

Thanks
M pete

Yea it works, whacked it in yesterday to carry on playing, looks nice with Smoothing on, maybe a little too smooth, will try it turned off today I think.

Re: Does Metal gear solid 3 subsistence work on ps3?

Whilst I haven't played it yet it does certainly boot up fine. I'm sure it's been on the US backward compatibility list from the beginning though. I seem to recall checking when people mentioned a while back that the PAL one wouldn't work.

I guess it works on US PS3.

By the way, generally MGS3 works fine. But in some scene such as the fight with the Fury, it is terribly slow due to all the flame across the screen...

Re: Does Metal gear solid 3 subsistence work on ps3?

This is an intersting thread as I am thinking of replaying MGS3 when I finish mgs4.

Can anyone confirm that Subistance works on the pal 60gb ps3, its on the backwards complatability list with "serious issues"

Snake eater dosnt seem to be on their at all but my copy works.

Also anyone know how to get hold of game saves, I have the transfer tool but I seem to have lost the memory card with my mgs3 game saves on it

Is that the original game or the re-released platinum?

Seems that there are multiple versions of many games and some are compatible, some aren't.

Was thinking of getting 2&3 myself ... have just got MGS4 so would I be better to play the other two first or just play 4 and then go back to 2 and 3?

Re: Does Metal gear solid 3 subsistence work on ps3?

Yeah i saw that, had my finger hovering over the "buy" button when the thought was "will it work on my USA 60GB?". Be great if it does - i'd love to have a crack at MGS1 again.

I am assuming you have a ntsc ps3 then as ntsc ps2 games dont work on the pal console...

Re: Does Metal gear solid 3 subsistence work on ps3?

I think that I may have to play through all 4 MGS games after my MGS4 run through.

I'll need to get them all again but at least I can play them through in their proper order MGS3, MGS1, MGS2, MGS4.

Re: Does Metal gear solid 3 subsistence work on ps3?

I am going to try twin snakes on the cube instead of the original ps1 mgs. Its meant to be much better using the mgs2 engine but basically the same mgs story....

I already have mgs 3 snake eater and will probably replay mgs 2 substance on the xbox.

I was thinking of gettings mgs3 subsistence hence question if the pal version runs ok on the ps3 60gb back compat

Yeah, good idea with Twin Snakes, may get that and play it on the Wii.

MGS3 Subsistance is supposed to be much better than Snake Eater (mainly due to the 3rd person camera that you can move around the player, like MGS4 I guss) so I may get that. I never bothered with MGS3 for some strange reason so I am looking forward to that one. I used to have Sons of Liberty, but my brother has it now so I may well borrow that back off him.

Re: Does Metal gear solid 3 subsistence work on ps3?

Right - so I can pick up the PS2 MGS3 and it will work on my 60gig PAL PS3?

Now - does the original MGS for PS1 work on PS3?

If sony and konami wanted to be really clever they should release MGS1 on the PSN asap.

I think it's coming soon, it is already on the Japanese store.

There is rumor of it going to Xbox Live Arcade aswell.

Good luck getting hold of it for a decent price.

Just had a quick look on ebay and Twin Snakes is going for nearly £40 in some cases which is more than i paid for MGS4.

I've still got the US version which I bought when it was released. I don't remember how much I paid for it but it was no where near that. I might have to go back to it.

No it won't as all PS2 games are region locked. The fact that both Japanese and US PS2's are NTSC format doesn't matter.
