Sony’s Forgotten Service - Life With PlayStation

[@Jeed_Up]

PS3 was extremely underrated when it came out. I think the majority of people didn’t know how insane the PS3 was for the advanced tech it had in 2006. Blu-ray Discs, Bluetooth and rechargeable controllers (up to 7 could be connected), built in WiFi! You could also download Linux and make it a home computer. Also you could play PS1 and PS2 games. Don’t forget the web browser! I had movies and music in it as well. Endless amount of content could be possible in that machine. I remember people saying it was overpriced when it came out and all I was thinking was that it was underpriced for what it had.

I had no idea about life with PlayStation. Def got lost in the wave of xbox getting the priority from halo and cod. 360 was insane but the ps2 will always have a soft spot in my heart too

[@DylanSwitzerland]

The PS2 is actually debated to be peak gaming. I personally think the 360 / PS3 era was the best though.

Still my favorite console. Thing was basically a super computer. PS1 +PS2 BC, CF Card slot, Memory Stick Pro Slot, SD Card slot, 4 USB ports, free online play, Blue Ray,Bluetooth rechargeable controllers, up to 7 players if I remember correctly, Linux, all in 2006. It was WAY ahead of its time.

The xbox360 was focused on the hardcore americans with the "we do it better" and pretty much having american only studios and people behind the studios that actually were had leads that cared

[@DylanSwitzerland]

Yeah, it seems like back then the devs REALLY cared more about what they put it out. Correct me if I’m wrong but you couldn’t patch or fix a game back then once it was out right?

[@AsianKid99]

[@DylanSwitzerland]

@@DuwangKaizer I would LOVE for them to bring back something like life with PlayStation. Or even PS home, like it would’ve made this generation of PlayStation so much more better!

[@DuwangKaizer]

@DylanSwitzerland Yeah, you're right. In my opinion, 7th-gen game consoles, alongside the Wii U and 3DS (both 8th-gen consoles), were quite experimental with their online services, where each platform had a suite of online apps that offered users unique experiences that could only be found on any competing console. Nowadays, current-gen consoles (and the Switch) only offer three types of online services: Online Play, Netflix-style services with 100+ games to play and streaming apps. The reason why the current console generation's online services feel so sterile compared to the ones from the past is because the console makers are trying to have their online services appeal to their core gamers; the kind that never really appreciated those "unique online experiences" and would rather dedicate their time on a specific game.

[@bobbobberson5897]

If the ps3 truly was more powerful than the 360… why did every multiplat game work better on the 360? Also ps3 can’t do any 2 things at the same time, not even instal while you play

[@Jinkyuu1999]

Because it was too complex for developers to make their games properly! Xbox 360 was more user-friendly!

[@DylanSwitzerland]

Because the PS3 was designed in a way that made it extremely hard for game developers to create games for the console. This lead to game developers going towards the 360. Any game that was developed under the PlayStation studios team had access to how to create games for the console which is why PS3 exclusives were much better than other games on the PS3. As time went on it became easier for people to develop games for the console which lead to Sony wining the 7th generation of gaming by a long shot.

[@bobbobberson5897]

@@DylanSwitzerland it’s one thing to be built different, but another to be built stupid. I have a ps3 I have played every exclusive for it that I know about, but without the games the system is and always will be a dumpster fire… however the ps4 was somehow even worse

Crazy how they did so many innovations back the, and now there aren't any - just a shitty PS5 with a useless pro version, no backwards compatiblity and no atmosphere! 6th and 7th generation was the golden age!

[@DylanSwitzerland]

@@sanderhackerhd8369 highly agree that 6th and 7th were the best, the PS5 is fantastic though, just sucks that innovation isn’t really there. They have to do subscriptions and bring back older titles, which is cool and all, but there’s definitely something missing.

[@sanderhackerhd8369]

@DylanSwitzerland It doesn't need any subscriptions, it needs just starting the game after putting the disc in! Nowadays, a game disc it's just a key to install the game and the company can easily take it away from you even if you own it. A disc should give you full ownership, subscriptions are kind of the opposite of that.

[@DylanSwitzerland]

@ yes for sure, literally the video I uploaded before this one explains all of that haha, I prefer physical over digital all the time. I only go digital if it’s a game that I don’t really care to have physically. For example any LBP or Metal Gear Solid title, I need it physically.
