[@risseer23]

I miss the nostalgia those 3rd party games were rough.

[@Cruxis_Angel]

They had so many different games for all audiences. Most of the games now follow TLOU formula which can get tiring if you're not big on it. Even if it was a bad business mindset I loved how for every success like uncharted they funded multiple other games, even if they didn't sell well. Sony took massive risks which ended up paying off around 2009. There were so many exclusives for different genres you had to get the system.

[@KryptiicGames]

Good to see Terell again. You can tell you guys have been friends for a long time. You have that super natural back and forth, even on camera it doesn't feel forced at all.

[@harrymcrorie]

Always awesome to see you 2 in a video together !

[@Cruxis_Angel]

This was such an interesting time in gaming. Every console offered vastly different things where you wanted them all. I'll never forget how rough the first 2 and half years were for the console. 360 failure rate was so bad but the games/service made it worth getting over the PS3. This sony was my favorite though. The library was so unique and all over the place compared to what we're getting now. Siren Blood Curse was the game that made me NEED the system. Most games run amazing now on RPCS3 and truly shows how special the system was.

[@BossBrownsugar]

The first two years of this gen sucks too

[@PrologueGame]

For you!!!

[@lilpp4791]

Every generation of gaming is getting worse change my mind! It peaked at the ps2/xbox era and after that only gotten worse as time passed, ps2 was better than ps3, ps3 was better than ps4 etc

[@Jerrel28]

@@lilpp4791 Yeah it is to a degree. But if I'm honest I feel like the PS4 is closer to the PS2 than PS3 just by variety alone. Many times during the PS3 era I would walk into a game shop and leave without buying anything because nothing interested me as opposed to the PS4 where sometimes I can't decide what to play next. Only problem I really have now is that so many games need day one patches to run correctly, excessive dlc, and microtransactions. It doesn't affect me much because I play more than just big budget, triple A games but I still know the problem exists.

[@fredwicks8256]

@@lilpp4791 PS2 was light years ahead of PSONE, both in graphics, framerate, gameplay, heck, everything.... so your formula breaks down right out of the gate. And while i believe some of the BEST Games ever are from the PS2 gen, you can't deny the jump to HD with the PS3 was groundbreaking, and a welcome addition. Also although controversial, you can't deny the impact that trophy introduction had to gaming, those 2 things combined with the PS2 Game Remasters released on the system make the PS3 my personal favorite & the system i actively collect for

i got my ps3 a year later, but my 3 games were motorstorm, resistance and heavenly sword. all of which were great. also ratchet and clank tools of destruction slighlty later on. and cod 4 in november of that year. But i remember 2008 being a really big year as well with mgs4 and gta4 and then littlebigplanet towards the end of the year.

[@aninfinitemindofmusicandreams]

I got my PS3 right before 2007 ended. Assassin's Creed, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune were the games I got with it. Man, I still remember that day as one of my favorite days in gaming. 😁

[@Caesar2001]

Not only the ps3 is something that I miss but I miss early 2000s as a whole, it was the most fun I had in gaming and everything about the 2000s or late 90s was amazing. Best music, best movies and games had a massive break through especially online games

I always find launch titles so interesting, even when they’re on other platforms, it’s just so interesting to see where it all began I often feel really early games can show you how far the system came over time and stuff that was originally a priority or a holdover trend from a previous generation that disappeared over time, they can be a fascinating hybrid between the old and new.

I still remember getting my ps3 on my birthday in 2007, using mostly my own money at the time. I just turned 23 and remember seeing my best friend playing his a few months earlier and HAD to get one. This was at the beginning of the affordable hdtv flat screen era (affordable meaning $400 for a 27 inch flat screen) and something called an HDMI??? I still remember not knowing what an hdmi was or how to use it, funny thinking about that today. People may look down on it compared to the beast ps2 console but the ps3 was the first “true high definition” console and used these things called blu rays. I guess the nostalgia of this console is what makes it so special for me. I was in my early 20s, no wife, no kids, had a steady job working for the ballpark and had exposable income due to the sad fact of me still living with my parents. So all I did was work and play on my ps3, with no other worries in the world. Good Times!!
