These PS3 Games Are Still Awesome In 2024

[@Asaylum117]

I will always play PS2 and PS3 games. Why? Because they're fun.

[@jankmedia1985]

Hell yea. I'm the same, I never stopped playing old consoles. There's always something new to play. The backlog is never ending.

[@EnlightenAlchemist]

If it ain't fun why bother.

[@MackDaddyVic]

Yeah new games aren’t fun anymore lol

[@Mysticbladegod]

The 6th and 7th generation were the peak of gaming.

[@mgiebus1869]

@MackDaddyVic so true man. What is it that makes them not fun is the question though. I know to me they feel like a chore

[@31qwoz]

Glad to find this ps3 community. I'm barely digging into my ps3 backlog. First time I'm playing Arkham Asylum and Fallout 3

[@NikkoNikko98]

First time playing asylum??? Oh I envy you man, have a great time! 🔥🤙🏼

[@moonlambo5229]

Dammit this channel is gonna make me want to buy a PS3 again.

[@EnlightenAlchemist]

I already did. 😊

[@MackDaddyVic]

I already bought one. Mint condition too. Guitar Hero, MGS4 here I come!

[@m3ooyay]

I have a Ps5, Xbox one S, Switch and a decent Gaming PC... Yet I dug out my PS3 which has been standing for years (Phat which I purchased new) and decided to finally complete some of the games I never finished. So far I've completed Uncharted 3, COD MW3 & Killzone 3 over the last month! I'm currently playing through Fallout New Vegas Ultimate edition which I've put 70 hours into. Each night I'm checking ebay for a source of new PS3 games! Loving it!

[@BasementGamerYT]

Those are some good games right there

[@NikkoNikko98]

Have you played infamous? That’s something I regret never getting into, I don’t have a ps3 sadly :)

[@DarneIITV]

jailbreak it and you get all those for free

[@m3ooyay]

@@DarneIITV Games are so cheap at the moment on ebay and local places like CEX - also, I'm earning Trophies :)

[@Dubdubgarage]

Make sure you replace the thermal paste and keep it clean!

[@CarefulAtheist]

I completely feel you man. Here's a brief history of my particular situation. Growing up in the 80's my dad didnt have the kind of money he could just drop on a Nintendo console with game cartridges. My friends had consoles. I never did. My friends had PCs...I could look at some. Never had one. Back in 1998 I saved up enough to buy my first pc. Loved it. In 2009 I made enough money on a contract to buy my first game console. A PS2. And a video store close to me was closing down so I picked up handfuls of PS2 game disks at a time for next to nothing...I mean...the equivalent of $10 for roughly 5 games at a time. So I built out my library that way. This was YEARS after the PS3 was released already. In 2013 I had some spare cash again and bought a brand new PS3, and immediately bought a digital download of Red Dead Redemption. A game I always wanted to play, but couldn't. Fast forward to October 2018. PS4 has been out for 5 years already. Red Dead 2 was about to drop and I scraped cash together to go buy a second hand PS4 just to play that game on day 1 of release. We are now in Nov 2023. My PS2 was gone (friend borrowed it, left it in his shed, and a flood destroyed it). My PS3 didnt want to start up after all these years (hard drive packed up) while I still had around 15 PS3 games in my cupboard and I had barely 3 or 4 actual PS4 game discs with the majority of games being digital downloads. I decided to change things. I Went out and bought a Phat PS2. Two weeks later I bought a PS3 Slim. Bought all cables and adapters required to upscale to HDMI flatscreen TV (for the PS2). Then the collecting started. Since Dec 2023 to date (2 months) I bought another 60 PS2 games, around 110 PS3 games, and roughly 60 PS4 discs. I have never been happier. The moral of the story is: I am now 47 years old. I was denied, by circumstances, the joy of having gaming as a part of my life as kid. As an adult, I could fix that. I never had the latest and greatest consoles as I was always trying to squeeze all the life I could out of a console I had at the time. I may only get a PS5 around the time the PS6 is announced or on shelves. And...I DO NOT CARE!!!!! Why? The joy I get from popping Fight Night Round 4 in my PS3, or revisiting the world of LA Noir on PS3...or playing every Ratchet and Clank game I could collect for PS2, PS3 and PS4 is immeasurable. The PS3 was such a great leap in tech from the PS2 that I Cannot see the PS3 becoming irrelevant ever. Not as long as 1080p and 720p resolution is still capable of delivering great visuals that matches the top-notch game play that system dished up over the years

[@lyinginertia]

You're killing it with the content. Love to see old games and consoles being remembered and appreciated!

[@jo1nt0pz57]

Hell yea man. Buying only ps3 games these days myself

[@stelioskostaras9717]

Man first of all i love your content, second i purchesed a super slim ps3 w 1tb storage and i love it. So far i've played heavy rain,beyond two souls,uncharted 1,2,3 and now i'm rocking god of war.My friends(pc gamers) call me dumb for buying a ps3 in 2024 but i couldn't give less of a fuck seriously. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@Rstarversion151]

PS3 for life! Currently I'm playing Crysis on PS3!

[@kaedeshirtoto]

Dude I love that you're making me not feel alone with these thoughts

[@lordbunbury]

If only we could play MAG. That game was so much fun

[@DC-YTC]

That was a fantastic idea, they should have built up to 256 players. That game will go off now

[@solm67]

I've been enjoying the PS 3 for a while now. There is something nice about sticking the disk in and just playing the game, after a small in update. Excellent video, love your channel.

[@pikohemara2743]

Enjoying your channel bro , keep the throwbacks coming! PS3 era was truly a good time for games and content. Wish there was more passion and variety in games today

[@Fatfish4]

The ps3 is the console I always come back to. So many great games and most really cheap.

[@gregorz228]

For me gta iv was the best ps3 game ever and the call of dutys at this time

[@OAndreDrumond]

great content as always brother.

[@RR6Rider]

Lets go! Waited for this video, always looking forward to the next one!

[@phizil92]

I am also digging my PS3 and PS4 games, love the sacarstic tone of the channel, big up from France

[@Kakashi785x]

This games were my childhood i well never forget them...

[@suprxmefire9497]

I played LA Noire back in 2021, hella late but I really enjoyed it playing it on my cousins ps3. I had such a time with this game.

[@yochrisnelson]

I just replayed Bioshock this past month and it remains immaculate. Since finding your channel I’ve simultaneously become more appreciative of my PS3 and also depressed that Rockstar is an MMO developer now. BUT existential dread aside, big fan of your takes on video games and production quality!

[@joemckeown7064]

Finally someone showing gta 4 the love it deserves. 100% the best gta of all time and definitely in the top 5 videos games of all time. Great video.

[@DSFarinha]

Found your channel a few weeks ago and man I am enjoying your content. A few games I would like to recommend to you are Spec ops the line, battlefield bad company 1 and 2, burnout paradise, captain america super soldier, God of war all of them, Dante's inferno, deadpool, FEAR trilogy, terminator salvation not great but a turn your brain off and shoot game lol, stranglehold, the darkness 1 and 2, the saboteur, wanted weapons of fate and xmen origins wolverine.

[@MercurysEdge]

I really like this guy! Got alot in common. I just recently got a 360, and I been playing that and my ps3 so much that my ps5 got dust! Been watching his videos all day lol. Great dude!

[@darwinespinoza3440]

You inspired me to play GTA IV again, and I’m currently trophy hunting. I heard you say the online still works! Which is awesome because I thought those trophies would be unobtainable.

[@HiJakOG]

I am starting to get addicted to this guy rambling about PS3....I feel the same bro

[@alejandromorazan3420]

I loooove seeing LA Noire in lists, its a once in a century game

[@gggumball]

dude i honestly thought this was a million subscriber channel, these videos are really well done and are super entertaining

[@MackDaddyVic]

You have an exquisite taste in games my man. I’m proud lol

[@xsuperxbeingx]

Great vid bro much love from Brooklyn

[@s9erkills]

Love these videos. The ps3 was my favorite console of all time the new releases were so good they're still making remakes of games that came out for the ps3. The online was free it had a web browser for the first time. I didn't get a ps4 until the pro but I left the ps4 soon as I could.

[@mrbrit6746]

PS3 is my baby. 253 games I own for this system and my library is still growing. So many amazing games here that Sony just seems to have forgotten about. If they ever figure out making their next console backwards compatible with the PS3 library, with performance boosts, I will die a happy man.

[@the50pkid]

Thanks! Your opening line about looking in the mirror made me spit my coffee out all over my clean white shirt!.... and I'm not even annoyed.

[@dpatriot4130]

Great job! Just got yourself a new subscriber.

[@mogeez964]

Dude I enjoy your commentary sooo much! I’ve been on the ps3 nostalgia train since 2021 and yes the games are the bestest!! Even with new generation of consoles Wishing you the best on your channel !

[@thisheavyvoid]

.skate mentionned I'm playing it right now. Bought a PS3 a few weeks ago and GTAIV, LA Noire, and Batman are on my list as I haven't played them back in the days.

[@munnemunnemunne]

Hey man I’ve watched only two videos of you and you are a cool guy. Keep creating it good content

[@pauljakeman]

Fully agree with your choices. I’m mainly on Xbox series S now but have a few of these on there too now. Definitely love playing through them again from time to time. Couple I’d add into this list for me are borderlands 2, bioshock infinite, and portal 2.

[@DeeGamingVolt_TGV]

I have both PS4 and PS4 PRO and a PS5 SLIM but i always find time to play with my PS1 and PS2 games its just there is something nostalgic feeling playing Old games

[@coolguycoolguy7267]

Dude, you missed out on MAG

[@user-hk7iy2vt5y]

I grew up with an Xbox 360 but years later I bought a PS3 slim for all the exclusives I missed out on (free multiplayer too). Uncharted 2 and Little Big Planet 2 were the first games I bought and man they were so good. Uncharted felt like playing a movie and LBP had a really fun online multiplayer experience. Got Arkham City after and it became my favorite superhero game. Also, house of the dead with the PS move controllers is a good time

[@Ronuk1996]

Maxpayne 3 is amazing 2012 game that is still amazing.

[@Tiger-makhulu]

Growing up, I was set on certain game and interests so I passed on alot of awsome games, fast forward we have grown up and are more open minded and can try new game for past generation at a cheap cost.

[@Wierie_]

I bought COD WaW on pc back in the day as a physical release, pre steam DRM bs. I’m sad to say I lost that copy but it has given me some great memories. My favorite COD. Also played a boatload of Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Coop Terrorist Hunt is amazing.

[@The63adrian]

I'm so glad you mentioned the underrated Skate, its even now one of a kind game. On the surface it looks like a Tony Hawk game, but boy you are wrong if you think that. It's more close to a simulator, than an arcade like Tony Hawk game. Nobody made a similar game like the Skate series.

[@PapaJGamez]

Dude because of your videos….. I went and bought new officially licensed ps3 controllers and a few ps3 games. Dead space, dead space 2 the resistance trilogy, etc.

[@MythologyFan333]

I recently got a PS3 because of how there's no PS3 backwards compatibility on the PS5. Been on a PS3 kick for about 2 weeks and don't plan on stopping. Best generation for PlayStation imo.

[@W4LKThrough1]

Rainbow six vegas was unbelievable. I got a series x the other day and straight off the bat bought rainbow six vegas 1-2. Severely underrated

[@BasementGamerYT]

Those games were amazing man

[@SaulTPokit]

I moved house last month and in the process of packing, I found my old day 1 PS3. It's set up in my living room next to my PS5. 2 consoles that can play the entire PS library. Outstanding times my friend. I'm playing an old PS2 Shin Megami Tensei game called Digital Devil Saga. I don't remember buying it back in the day, but it was in a box in my old loft sealed. It's really creepy. PS2 rules.

[@badsiknius4862]

Great channel, bro. By the way, I don't know if anyone's told you that, but you look a lot like Aiden Pearce from Watch Dogs ;)

[@MP-wf3gj]

KEEP IT UP BRO

[@leelanzini]

Keep this videos coming! The PS3 is my fav PlayStation. Also please try “Battlefield 3” and “Just Cause 2” 😁

[@TheJoaovicente]

Im playing the sly cooper games for the first time. There are so many games from the PS3 that were never ported and are being lost to time....

[@bobholness203]

Battlefield 3 on PS3 I still play and my favourite war game. Fight night 3 also 👌🏻

[@shanenice5380]

I do liked u videos.its up to u what u wanna played.i picked up some ps3 games.i played old and new

[@rodthegawdd]

Quality vids bro

[@lucianwong420]

3 years ago I switched genres because I used to only play modern games, but it became boring as hell. I decided to buy jrpg's and older games, and I enjoy those way more. Before 2021, I had never played a jrpg in my life.

[@plu_Tony_um]

I loved my PS3, and still have it hooked up to the TV - although havn't fired it up for a while....the only sad thing about the PS3 is that once the console dies (and a replacement is not possible), you will never be able to go back to these exclusive games...a bunch of the ones you have mentioned I have picked up on PS4 if available

[@jankmedia1985]

I never stopped playing that Triple. I take breaks here and there because I plan on all kinds of consoles but the PS3 has always been hooked up. Wife has one too. So many good games to play. I have a God-tier collection and have been playing RE5, Resistance 3, and Sorcery with the Move controller. I think when I'm caught up on those, I'm gonna play through the FEAR trilogy.

[@FarmerSlideJoeBob]

I appreciate these videos😃😃

[@janijokelainen6463]

Good choises. I add that list Mafia 2 and Battlefield modern warfare 2 and its perfect for me.

[@OGjumpman4223]

Old school games are the best man, I have my ps5 but yet I play my ps2 and ps3 way more..and LA Noire is one of the best games of all time, plus don’t for world at war zombies!

[@daninbox]

I played them on X360, but I loved/love the Rainbow Six Vegas games. It's something about their methodical nature. I really need to feel like getting shot once or twice is life-threatening in order to enjoy most FPS.

[@DarneIITV]

i been enjoying ps3 as well

[@DiegoSwagKing]

Love the content dropped a sub

[@michaelhill6453]

I'm in love with the manuals included in PS3 and prior games. Red Dead 1 was superior because pretty much from the start you could go everywhere and do anything you wanted.

[@احمد-س4ص6ج]

Sorry man I don’t care about the games that you showing it Im watching your videos and replay it a lot of times just for learn english and thank you I learned a lot of words your voice and accent is perfect for learning and listening english

[@احمد-س4ص6ج]

Wow I wrote all of this i think my english is good but i have to be confident

[@SaveerSSingh]

Just bought Arkham Asylum for my new PS3 Super Slim, and I love it! Question: How does PS3 games look so good on your monitor? I play on tv.

[@Ronuk1996]

Love LA Noire.

[@bluecollarwarrior2184]

For me the ps 2 and ps 3 have the best game library with countless fun games to play

[@its_ohhrite]

Been watching you a few weeks. Has anyone mentioned the model ps3 you have has a higher chance of getting the YLOD?

[@PrimeDidact]

What camera are you using to make your videos?

[@jonathankabasele985]

I played world at war on my ps2 , awsome game 😊

[@noneofyourbiz5973]

I would seriously recommend EX TROOPERS. It was a japanese only release, but works on all regions. It's part of the Lost Planet series but plays a lot different.

[@Stupidfy88]

Move on they say. PlayStation 3 saves your trophies to your PSN app, PlayStation 4 and 5. That's one of the best parts about it in my opinion.

[@RavenblackWood-fk8hm]

Just play what you like I like the PS3 so don't listen to what anybody says just play what you like

[@PerryProject_]

have you played mirrors edge? I really like that game, actually just bought a ps3 to play it again lol

[@hezhez97]

Glad someone else has said it I get slated whenever I say I like gta 4 the most and I like rdr1 more than rdr2

[@ohishow3052]

Eminem of gaming dude!

[@ShaneAlex91]

Are you using the PS3 controller for these games or plugging in a PS4 controller while it's better?

[@fydamara]

because of your videos, i'll be buying a ps3 haha

[@LUAN_JAGUAR]

My take : Fighting : Tekken 6 Action-Adv-H&S : GOW Ascension (also GOW III, but it already has a superior version on PS4 so) Shooter/Open World : RDR 2010 Racing : Motorstorm Titles, F1 championship edition, Midnight Club LA Sports : FIFA 13-14, FIFA Street, WC 2010, Fight Night Champion, UFC Undisputed 3

[@bar7381]

if you liked city you gotta try asylum, best atmosphere in the series

[@maje6689]

Been getting back to the Wii. Most games just feel soulless now a days.

[@RavenblackWood-fk8hm]

I love Batman Arkham city game of the year Batman Arkham asylum & Batman Arkham Origins for PS3

[@Vanu-wo7px]

I'm a pc gamer but some of my favourite games are from that period.

[@mgiebus1869]

Man Rainbow Six Vegas was so much more fun to me than Siege. Love that darn game

[@AlexRocks80s]

I went back to play mgs4 and holy shi the graphics are still amazing and better than some modern games

[@fitnessandgaming2053]

I like the way you talk dude new sub here 😊

[@Chemicalol]

I missed la noire when it came out. Is it really that good?

[@Dragonfury3000]

You should play the infamous games! I love the 1st one.

[@sorryfofty_]

old rainbow vegas still slaps

[@seany32]

I just bought ufc 3 , black ops and world at war all for £15 on ps3 😊😊

[@hottakes216]

im not moving on! i love my gen

[@TheUpTownFan]

Assassins’s Creed 2 is amazing! AC1 is a bit flawed but makes for a good story heading into AC2, so that might be worth a play as well

[@matthewhaverly3108]

You need to play that Batman game on a 3D TV... it looks stunning! there were around 65 games in total that utilize a 3D display.. I've been collecting them for a while now. In total I now own 35 3D games.. some are just amazing like Stardust and Motor Storm Apocalypse! 👍

[@OliverLoganBlue]

You Really Do look like Eddie Kaye Thomas From The American Pie Movies

[@Kiwi-bf7bh]

I too am playing ps3, I just finished playing brutal legend😂 going to play uncharted 2 next !

[@1122rodney]

Hey bro. We're in the same boat. I'm going back an playing all the gems. Sold my series x and bought a Franky ps3.😂😂

[@TheNameIsSR]

A lot of the games you showed in this video currently have better PC ports, but there's still plenty of games that never left the ps3. It's such a shame
