Should try last of us on ps3 the online of that game was fun

[@MoonSarito]

The fact that the PS3 is almost 20 years old and still has almost 2 million active players (according to leakers at Insomaniac) is impressive to me.

Being free online goes a long way

Warhawk looks like a lot of fun. I had no idea it was a third person shooter, always thought it was plane and tank combat only. Might get a copy, hopefully it's still cheap lol

[@Swam0811]

Complete copies go for $10 on average.

Resistance is one of the most underated game series ever

[@b3rgsy]

Been gaming for 40 years and for some reason, possibly due to my age at the time combined with just how good it was. Warhawk has stayed with me throughout every online game I've played. Running around with your knife out so you don't show up on the mini map then pulling out a sniper and nailing people and once you mastered flying you were out flying Maverick, iceman and viper. Great time to be alive. Very good video pal. Keep it up.

[@pinkflamingo5972]

Lady’s and gentleman, the yesterdays new quintet is here. Very odd that I was just listening to Lootpack and your fricken intro is a madlib instrumental. Don’t stop this content. I’ve been playing Xbox live on OG Xbox as well as 360 and ps3 games. Keep up the great work.

[@MAWK3]

Thank you so much dude! Madlib is a legend. The Unseen is one of my favorite albums by him.

[@MAWK3]

@don2nd650 Absolutely. I really liked MM..FOOD, DangerDOOM, Operation DOOMSDAY. DOOM always had a great ear when it came to beats to!

[@thomasgoldschmidt8611]

I haven't played it on the PS3 (Xbox 360 here), but Far Cry 2 - my god, the memories. It's such a shame no one has replicated the style of the game, where any player can design their own maps to play with others. It genuinely was so fun, because you played so many cool custom maps that pushed the game to its limits, you had arcadey maps that were fun to play on, stuff like that. I really miss it a lot :(

[@mattballin13]

Far Cry 5 has this. It can be a lot of fun. The online was great, but wasn't polished and not advertised. Most people think of Far Cry as only a single player game. It's a shame. It can still be played, but there's not many people left.

[@TruLuan]

It was cool playing Far cry 2 on re-created CoD 4 maps

[@AlexDrewsumin]

Used to make crazy maps. Death races, battle ships. Wild stuff haha

[@olympian3]

[@ilteschio8244]

If I remember correctly, it came bundled with a headset to! Miss those days

[@Jimbo-198]

That Far Cry 2 map at 23:48 is called City of God if anyone's wondering. It was cool playing with you 😎. I accidentally ran you over when you were checking out another custom map though, sorry about that. Anyone that's not subscribed, give this man a subscription.

[@MAWK3]

[@MAWK3]

Same here! I found myself appreciating this console a lot more during this gen.

[@davidowens7305]

😮 I thought it would just my ps5 crazy

[@frankimaserati1395]

Did y’all update y’all console? I’m afraid the latest update I haven’t played mine in a couple years and some videos saying the new update can brick the console

[@Duckingheights]

Ah Far Cry 2. Great experience it was then and it is now, just the custom maps alone sold me playing it as it was always riveting to play others custom maps and see what were like along with just generally, enjoying the modes FC2 provides. Nice playing with you on Far Cry 2 btw with the City of God map. Oh and PS, the 'RV' / 'Rvival' words that I put on the maps that I publish are just to indicate that they were published around the time of FC2 Online on PS3's revival.

[@Asaylum117]

Honestly, since modern online gaming isn't worth playing due to developers pretty much releasing bugy and unplayable messes, it's great to see older gamers trying to revive the online servers for older online games. Since PS3 servers are free, it's understandable why so many people are still going back playing these older games online. I still remember how much fun I had playing Killzone 2 online before it's unfortunate shut down. The online play was so much fun. Some people even sent me clan requests which I unfortunately by accident declined, because I had no idea how clan invites work. 😅 I even managed to get into PS Home before it's shut down as well and meeting many different people. What I liked about PlayStation Home was how the chill the vibe was snd the fact that you could meet & interact with many different people online. But over all it's great to see the PS3 community back in action and trying to keep the console alive. Although I mostly play single player games on the PS3, but at times I don't mind playing online and meeting other people on the PS3 as well. I am thinking to try getting a used COD World at War PS3 copy & try out the multiplayer, since some COD games on the PS3 has the unfortunate fate of not letting new players keep their ranks. So the only COD that are playable online on the PS3 are COD 4 & World at War.

[@tstallion]

I remember spending hours building maps in the far cry 2 map editor, that mode was insane to me especially on a console game. Good job on this video Matt, and congrats on the sponsor

[@MAWK3]

That and those Halo 3 Custom Games were mind-blowing at the time. Thanks dude! I was just watching one of your videos when you commented 😅
