[@chemergency]

The fact that neither the PS4 nor PS5 are backwards-compatible with the PS3 and many games were not re-released for the new platform also contribute to the PS3 scene still living to this day.

[@MAWK3]

Goes to show the impact the PS3 had. Started off rough but ended up being one of the best consoles of all time!

[@chemergency]

@@MAWK3 It ultimately beat the Xbox 360 since Don Mattrick spent years goofing-off with Kinect and TV crap. Rumor has it he was a plant secretly hired by Sony all-along lol

[@MAWK3]

@chemergency They still never recovered from Sony's E3 2013 event 😅

[@protocetid]

Stick to PS3 for the games that weren’t ported anywhere else, consider PC for the rest. Computers have unmatched backwards compatibility. The graphics are often better on PC and you can play at a higher resolution and frame rate. Games from this time span had unstable and low frame rates on console, they're quite aged so a PC from like the past 5 years it should suffice, older is fine if you're willing to drop some graphics settings. Online multiplayer is free on PC and games that no longer have online services up on console might on PC. There are some caveats, PC port quality was lower back then so the games might have imperfections like not having their performance properly scale up with the power of your computer. GTA IV and Saints Row 2 are prime examples, SR2 specially has many issues though they can be partially alleviated with user made modifications. Games from this era didn’t always have full or any controller support. Another thing that lessens the experience of playing on a computer is the hackers, yet old consoles have them too. Your computer getting hacked is a possibility I guess, I think consoles are vulnerable too. Wii U consoles were recently discovered to be susceptible to hacking by players you were matched against online, and had to be patched. Keep the PC up to date and I think you’ll be be fine, find trustworthy communities to play with and you won’t have to worry about hackers. Look for groups that organize pick up games or pugs, don’t know if console players use the term.

[@chemergency]

@@protocetid Questionable quality still plagues AAA PC game ports today.

I've been playing COD4 almost every day since january 2010. Since 15/16, it's incredibly hard to find an active lobby other than Team Deathmatch. I used to play Sabotage like a maniac for 8-10 hours a day and was getting 45-60 kills easily on my favourite maps. I will always love this game

Unfortunately Plant vs Zombies Garden Warfare is region locked online so Asia/OCE players like myself and lag need to use VPNs to play or have a EU/NA based player invite us to their games, but otherwise I think it definitely is the most popular PS3 multiplayer game in 2023.

[@MAWK3]

Nothing worse than when publishers decide to region lock a game.

[@turn0nc]

I think rainbow six vegas 2 is region locked too.

[@LennyQUMFIF]

Hey at least is not as bad as how Nintendo did it, on some old games its region locked by the version (Japan, American and PAL) not to mention how the console they're in was also region locked, so if you had the American version of the game, not even with VPN could you play with someone from Europe. Hackers fixed it at least lol.

[@WantBadtime]

Better than Battle For Neighborville. It also has free online multiplayer!

[@BrendanEnnis77]

As someone who has recently played mw2 with psn online, there’s a lot of hacked lobbies. Something to be careful of as people are able to change the game mode mid game, level up all your stuff, or just set it so when thru shoot their gun they never miss.

[@MAWK3]

It's really dumb that people still hack it to this day. Kills it for everyone

[@tobiasflou6196]

It is like that since 10 years or more xD

[@PokeBurnPlease]

@@MAWK3 Unless they changed something which i doubt its super easy in mw2 after all. Even tho modding your ps3 nowdays to cheat is not hard and every PS3 can do that its not even needed in MW2 and the older call of duty ones since people can just share an infected lobby with you to give you cheats. Of course kids will use thoose then if you dont even have to mod your console for it but just join a randoom lobby to get your cheats.

[@jedan_nula396]

I think they can also reset your level to 1 or that was for Mw3 not sure but I know one of these 2 they can reset which is why I don't play it anymore because Im scared all my progress will go to waste.

[@evilgrandmaofficial]

For like all of last year I was still playing on my dusty but trusty PS3 for at least like an hour a day. I found most matches on COD4 and was dominating lobbies with the RPD. After like two months I was invited to a Discord via a PSN message by a guy from one of the matches I was playing that day. It was full of people form all over the world still dedicated to playing PS3 games. It had different lobbies for A LOT of games where you could just shoot a message if you wanted to play a match and within minutes your lobby would be full. I had a blast and the community was awesome. In april this year I built a sick gaming PC and haven’t been on the PS3 since but I might just pull her out of the closet again soon after seeing this. I have a lot of stories if anybody is interested or would motivate you too to bust out that old Playstation and give her a go.

[@pepperachu]

I'd like to hear more. I still play my PS3 daily. I mostly play COD, Battlefield and street fighter 4

[@Mer0lk]

That's so cool! What's the server called?

[@steve-o7923]

I play my ps3 a lot lately as well but I can't play any of my battlefields on it cuz it say my PSN not connected or something it's really frustrating as I love battlefield not I see on here a lot of people are playing it.

[@CJJT02]

Is the server public? I'd love to have a reason to dust off the old PS3!

[@noahoriginal]

@@steve-o7923I had the same issue. I think it came with 2 factor identification or something. If that’s the case, you have to log into psn on your pc. Don’t exactly remember the rest, but you will figure it out. Or do some online research. Best of luck

[@r3viladdict54]

I loved PS3 and I've many good memories with it. UC2 & 3 COOP/MP was such a blast! Resistance 3 MP was so much fun, too bad, the server went down.

[@JCKillah]

Socom Confrontation’s servers were revived a few years back. There was about 300 players a night when they first came back but its around 50 or so players a night now. Still enough to get some rooms up

[@Jean_Pierre_Wehry]

Sony was so smart by not charging for PSN on ps3. That's honestly what gave them the edge over the cheaper, much more streamlined Xbox 360. Paying these days is standard, but not having to was truly a treat. Good times.

[@peacelove6455]

Yea but PSN was trash. No party chat and opening messages took too long. The social aspect was missing.

[@ghostfrieza2904]

Sony and Microsoft are all pos

[@CANTHATEmeNAME]

It wasn't trash though, it just wasnt as good. The fact that it was completely free and kids didn't have to ask their parents to pay monthly made it 10x more accessible to everyone. Also if were talking strictly COD the community was even more inclusive bc everyone in the lobby had to speak IN GAME instead of having private voice chats w their friends all the time.@@peacelove6455

[@rrrrr0_]

​@@peacelove6455speak for yourself, i was perfectly content with it

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

As someone who lives in a 3rd world country, quite a few of these games had no lobbies back when PS3 was the main console. PS3 online is sadly a bit “tedious” because of this. Easily expect 2 digit minute wait times in any game that isn’t cod and/or requieres a descent amount of players to get a match started. If you want to get a PS3, do it for the games you missed on, and view online as a “nice bonus” instead of your ticket for countless hours of gameplay… unless it’s Cod.

[@TheRealCatof]

Damn, I miss Resistance 2 so much. I remember being #16 in the world in multiplayer EXP. I think I had like 68 million or somethig crazy like that.

[@vhgiv]

[@banguseater]

also some good mentions you forgot are Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1. They are still pretty active mostly for PVP. Demon souls even got the servers back on from the fans and made them work with RPCS3 (PS3 Emulator) so its very active on there.

[@sn-x-wt]

Mass Effect 3 has an awesome co-op MP, I put over 1.5K hours into it over the years. people still play it but it's become harder to find matches these days. Syndicate 2012 and Far Cry 3 were also my fav co-op MPs on PS3 but they both got shut down :( R.I.P.

Crysis 3 for the PS3 was the very first Online FPS I ever played, dating back TEN years ago. I barely remember any of it, but I do recall that in 2013, this game and CoD: Ghosts used to dictate my life. Having to choose one or the other on a daily basis used to give me headaches and I never even got bored of one them until CoD: AW started consuming my life. I know it’s a cliché to look back fondly to where it all started nowadays but I have to say that those were easily some of the most amazing times I had in gaming, ever!

3:42 I’m not sure it’s aged like a “fine wine” in terms of gameplay lol the input lag is due to the over abundance of post processing effects for the ps3. Depending on the map/effects on screen, your inputs could register quicker or shorter. That’s why killzone 3 cut back so much on post processing effects to get better input response.

[@arthurmorgan1177]

Yoooooo

[@hesiolite]

I would also add Dark Souls, you can still find invasions rather easily, and get summoned regularly. Idk about dark souls 2 but I'm sure you can still find people doing duels. The armored core games on ps3 mostly For Answer and Versict Day also still have people doing 1v1 regularly.

GG BRO FROM MY FRIEND LAG HD THE LEGEND PS3 ❤❤❤

[@MAWK3]

Thank you brother 🙏

I’m considering picking up a ps3 and replaying some old games

[@athens9740]

I remember playing Uncharted 3 multiplayer religiously back in 2013 oh how I would love to go back and play it again

[@Boxuga]

Hey @MAWK3, enjoyed the video know this isn't for original firmware but me and a couple other friends have gotten GTA Online 1.12 to work on modded PS3s and surprisingly active at some times of the day getting full lobbies.

[@MAWK3]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for letting me know, I'd like to cover it in a future video.

[@ultramanx733]

ill need to try that

[@xXacinaterXx]

how the hell do you have that little subs... your commentary is way better than mine ever will be 🤣 I subbed

[@MAWK3]

Thank you for the support! 🙏 recording voice over is the most grueling part I would say. Takes me like 3 hours 😅 but worth it!

[@xXacinaterXx]

@MAWK3 Of course, man! (I'm not gonna advertise, so this is my alt) I agree, commentary is the hardest part! But keep on going! Your miles ahead of other small youtubers 🫡

[@MAWK3]

​@xXacinaterXx Thank you so much man! I'm determined to improve and keep it going 🙏

Making me miss playing SOCOM and Warhawk

Duke Nukem Forever's multiplayer community insane. Have ran into multiple people on there that have been playing the online mode almost every day since it's release. Probably up there for one of the most dedicated communities of all time.

Crysis was such a good series i wish it would make a comeback

[@ninni903]

It's time to dust off our ps3 and have memories

[@MAWK3]

Enjoy it while the servers are still up 😁

[@ballinn0430]

Can't wait for the 2024 episode.

[@MAWK3]

Coming soon! I've tested well over 50+ so far.

[@chacazulo1987]

Red dead redemption was fun for sometime, the multiplayer was fun, the zombies mode campaign was pretty cool, in multiplayer there was a lot of trolling, but ppl were always choosing auto aim instead of playing hardcore. Mw2 was amazing minus the hackers and noobtube spammers.

[@GeneralLDS]

oh i had no idea it still had online. I should get mine out

[@georgem2768]

The servers for SEGA Superstar Tennis are still active, but I remember finding only 2 people still playing it

[@AIex18]

No way you found someone online on ps3 no less 😂 Weirdly enough this game got the cod 3 treatment It runs at 30 fps on ps3 and 60 on 360

[@georgem2768]

@@AIex18 I own SEGA Superstar Tennis on PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii because I enjoyed it a lot as a kid

[@rodrigoadiogo]

Tomb raider, gta 4 and red dead are all games that I never got the platinum because of multiplayer, but still hope to do so. Too bad gta 5 servers were shut down
