Delisted PlayStation 3 Games You Can No Longer Play

[@dottyduke]

Error on my part. Sonic CD is not delisted. Only Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on PS3.

[@GymTrainerDavid]

Hopefully not an error cause Sonic CD still doesn't appear on the PS store in my region however Sonic 1 still appears but it can't be purchased.

[@MarikZero_TV]

Hey you forgot “J stars victory vs+”. It got delisted on PS3, ps vita, and PS4. Make a part 2 with the games including this that you forgot

[@ClassicSonicSatAm]

@@GymTrainerDavid Same as Sonic CD in the uk, you can get the demo but not the full game.

[@silastherobloxlovergamer3687]

Sadly, on ps4, all the sonic games (including team racing) except forces are gone 😢😢😢 But they should bring back those games as well as add origins plus, frontiers, and superstars, and even sonic X shadow generations when that comes out, don't need original generations back.

[@silastherobloxlovergamer3687]

Oh yeah just found out that frontiers has a trial on ps4 and demo on switch, but I'm ignoring those and going for the full game, as well as all lasting permanently

[@Totavier]

Nice video but like you said, sadly there are more PS3 games that was de-listed and lost in time, some other no mentioned are: -TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled -OutRun Online Arcade -Sega Rally Online Arcade -Earthworm Jim HD -The Simpsons Arcade -X-Men Arcade -Marvel vs Capcom Origins -Marvel vs Capcom 2 -Blokus -The Fancy Pants Adventures -Burnout Crash! -Gripshift -Call of Juarez: Gunslinger And probably many more that I'm not aware of yet. And just in case there is another PS3 game that will be de-listed around the first days of May and is: Flock! which is another Capcom game.

[@dapperfan44]

The Legend of Korra game, it had both a PS3 and a PS4 version.

[@rocraider163]

I like your list better but appreciate the video. Also...other Sega goodness - AfterBurner Climax has been delisted.

[@champsammy13]

I'm so pissed about not being able to legally play my MvC2.

[@X2011racer]

Daytona USA also got delisted. It's no longer possible to buy the game for both PS3 and Xbox 360. All PS1 Crash and Spyro games also got delisted, but I might be wrong on this one.

[@UnknownEASTT]

Also GTA vice city and gta vice city stories

[@sw0578]

They need to update laws surrounding abandoned ware. If a company doesn't allow you to buy their game you should be allowed to download it without issue.

[@TYLRMN8R]

All of the James Bond PS3 games got physical releases, but the final Bond game, 007 Legends, had a Skyfall DLC mission that finished the story. Without it, the game leaves off on an indefinite cliffhanger :(

[@_SYDGAMING_]

Still a great game though especially paintball mode in multpliplayer

[@lewisgrant7622]

@@_SYDGAMING_not really. Craig didn’t really fit in with those bond eras, the bosses didn’t feel like bosses, the horrible qte’s and the game was that bad activision had the license taken away and weren’t allowed to make anymore 007 games. And 007 legends is the sole reason when never got future 007 games. It was probably one of the lowest sold games on ps3

[@_SYDGAMING_]

@lewisgrant7622 never said the story was good. The multiplayer is

[@Tanzu15]

Custom firmware solves all these issues.

[@RenaTheArcanine]

They aren't PS3 games per se, but i was sad after finding out that Midnight Club 2 and 3 were delisted probably due to music licensing

[@Itskfx]

Well, good to see the PS3 online store is still on. The Xbox 360 one shuts down this June, I hope the PS3 store stays online a little more longer, because you could still buy 360 games off the web store because of backwards compatibility, but the PS3 doesn't have that.

[@jarretirish7281]

It’s very annoying xbox is doing that they have me considering buying the entire splinter cell franchise on the off chance I play it Fuck I just realized that’s probably why they’re doing

[@Toddfrommario]

4:20 you can still buy FAT PRINCESS If you have the demo you can recommend it to a friend and it will send them a message that redirects you to the old store page

[@mikewzowske]

Interesting I guess song didn’t really fully pull the plug probably just hid it from the store and that was it

[@alexandercatterson223]

​@@mikewzowske They did that with alot of PS VITA games too. I've bought a good few games that were delisted off of the PS VITA store but were on the PS3 and PS4 store either under cross buy games or in the PS VITA section on the PS3. If you buy them just go into the wii purchased section on the PS VITA and you can download them from there. Same as that when you are looking at games on the PS VITA, the games that show up on the sidebar (to the right of the screen) sometimes shows delisted games and you can sometimes buy those games from there (sometimes you can click them but not buy them)

[@HendogHD]

don’t forget that the legend of korra video game got delisted

[@delsinlockhart]

If i remember correctly the Transformers War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybretron games are also delisted as well and i still have physical copies on both PS3 and PC

[@CRCR0201]

Daytona USA and MGS HD collection were unlisted as well.

[@davidowens7305]

Daytona USA is still there but not on the 360

[@ICARUS_I]

The Punisher: No Mercy is another delisted game. I probably would have checked it out if it were still available. Even though classic Doom is on nearly every system, the PS3 compilation Doom Classic Complete also became delisted. Thankfully I bought it, and unlike the modern ports of Doom and Doom 2, the PS3 version has online MP and Co-Op.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

Online Gaming can be a blessing and a curse.

[@calvindaniels3367]

Don’t forget tmnt turtles in time reshelled and Scott pilgrim vs the world got delisted as well

[@DarthCobalt55]

Within the last year I downloaded Scott Pilgrim on my ps5 unless it's very recent

[@RocketZX]

Even though Scott pilgrim got ported to ps4/5 it bugs and crashes often... least on ps4 i cant even finish it I git a ps3 emulator and played it that way, annoys me its more stable emualtion wise and 😂

[@christopherh2729]

Free Realms was like RuneScape in that you had a lot of skills and each could be trained and leveled. What made it unique was that each skill (that wasn't a combat class) had its own minigame. For instance, there was kart racing, soccer, and a collectable card game, each with their own minigame and associated skill/levels. Each was multiplayer too. That on top of more traditional combat classes for going into dungeons and such. Then you could show off your cool clothes and stuff you earned. Instead of being a traditional MMO or an online chat room like Club Penguin it was basically the middle point between the two ideas! It wasn't great but it was a unique idea. I would love to see another game tackle the concept.

[@Sol14454]

I know at the least that they delisted Klonoa 1 for PS1 and Sonic The Fighters here in Europe. One that is crazy expensive and the other that an exclusive character in these consoles (Honey The Cat based on a character from another Sega Arcade, Fighting Vipers)

[@System_Sega]

I can think of Simpsons Arcade, X-men Arcade, Daytona USA, GTI club, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Marvel Super Heroes, Afterburner Climax, Outrun 2 and probably a lot more.

[@System_Sega]

@@antiquecardboard So basically, Years I had a original model PS3 which I purchased the games on. it broke. About a year ago I brought a used PS3 from ebay which was selling cheap. I logged into my old account to download my games. Most of them downloaded fine, however some of them didn't (the ones I mentioned). Hopefully If you only purchased Daytona a year ago it might still be fine.

[@thomasdiehlen77]

And then there was Ridge Racer Driftopia which got delisted and shut off the same day it was published, never to be seen again.

[@Totavier]

I had the luck in download that game day one just a few hours before they de-listed and also be one of the few players in the world in get all the trophies (the 100%). The microtransactions was darn buggy and people got things for free 😂, sadly in my case I couldn't get anything since the offers wasn't compatible with my PSN account (due to region's currency). But just in case despite the game was de-listed still the game's servers worked for like a year before Namco gave up on that title and shutdown, apparently from what I have heard they never could fix the microtransaction problem.

[@timothylewis2527]

Crazy thing. I buy a lot of games that I intend to play later. I could almost SWEAR I bought the PS3 version of the PS2 game Shadow of the Colossus (not the updated version with new gameplay and graphics) for $20. Not only could I not play it, I couldn't even find it on the store anymore.

[@IWatchAnime92]

I've 100% World Gone Sour after Platnuming Hotline Miami. It was an ok short experience, but mostly got it over the commercials along with costing $3. If I remember right it felt like a side scrolling Pikmin. I wish I bought the Back to the Future physical copy, cus I never knew it had a Platnum. Given I liked the 1st 2 movies. I found those titles separately pretty neat. I used to play an episode after Platnuming a pretty long game like Darksiders 2, Assassin's Creed 2, FF13, Kingdom Hearts, and Resident Evil 6. I used to pride myself in Platnuming/100% all the Tekken & Soulcalibur games because I loved playing those franchises on Game Cube & PS2 as a kid. Sadly still regret sleeping on Lost Souls & Revolution, and I downloaded both! Just never knew when it was getting its servers shut down over hyper focusing on whatever Platnum I had on my plate at the time. As you've noticed I was a bit of a Trophy Hunter. However I've always tried to go for games I genuinely like. Even if it takes me a month or 2 to finish. I even spent an extra month on Dragon's Crown after getting my Plat helping others online, cus I loved the game soo much! A lot of Trophy Hunters from my experience don't like bothering with 100% games like a lot of these, but for me it served. As both a way to align milestones I had in mind, or try out short under 4 hour indy titles I at times found neat.

You missed "Turtles in Time: Reshelled". It was available on PS3 as a digital purchase, but was delisted after a very short period of time. I have no idea what happened. But my friends bought and played - and by the time I tried to buy it, it was gone.

With so many games being delisted, it’s only a matter of time before the Store closes. Microsoft is shutting down the 360 store and Nintendo recently shut down the Wii U and 3DS eShops. Every console goes through this, where it’s time for them to ride off into the Sunset.
