Why I Liked PS3 More Than PS4

Now that we're down to the last 2-3 years of PS4 I'm starting to realize that I think I enjoyed PS3 a lot more. And no, it wasn't just Folding@Home, but a few other things that I wish PS4 had. I think that's why that song goes "Stacy's PS3 has got it goin' onnnn".

[@lordeilluminati]

I dont think this is a advantage, the blu ray was very slow and the games that lacked the option to install had very long load times compared to the same game on the 360. What I do like more about this on the PS3 is that the data management is smarter. On modern systems, they just copy everything over from the disc to the hard drive, no questions asked. On PS3 the game installs were tailored to the game experience, meaning that, for example, Ni no Kuni requires installing but only for the language you chosen to run the game, on machines of today they install all languages available on the game even though the user probably will never use most of them, or how Gran Turismo games installed assets for quicker access, but if you didnt had much space, it could run some data from the disc so the game was not in an unplayable state.

[@RedVGFox]

1 - PS3 has free online play 2 - You don't have to install every game you buy 3 - Most games work perfectly fine without download a huge Day-One Patch (and trust me, it's a HUGE pain if you don't have a good internet connection, I had to wait literally 2 days to play some games I bought) 4 - More console exclusive games and split-screen more supported (and usually missing on PC ports), so playing on PC was less convenient for some people, also way more 4-player games to play with your friend, and not just indies. 5 - It can play PS1 games both physical and digital releases, and I used that a lot more than I thought I would do actually 6 - Tons of great PS3/PSP/PSVita interaction features (Cross-Save was an amazing thing, also Cross-Play and Cross-Buy) 7 - It just supported almost every device you plugged in. 8 - PS2 ports were decent (J&D anyonre) 9 - Games didn't have loot boxes or excessive DLC abuse 10 - Overall, AAA games were trying to push the limits and do something new sometimes (Red Faction, LBP, MNR, StarHawk, Blur...) and single player games (or even some local co-op) were a lot more present in libraries, now all we got are greedy soulless multiplayer-only experiences, reskins/clones of already successful games or remakes of old stuff... or indies, which I can play on potato PCs so I don't really need a PS4 for.....Sure ,there are some exceptions nowadays, but last gen the respect for the customer was everyday life.

I've just picked up a backwards compatible launch model (mine died years ago) and I'm planning on cleaning it and doing some mainteance on it before going back down the awesome rabbit hole that is the PS3 games library. Awesome video, only recently discovered the channel but you've got a new fan and subscriber here in the UK.

The ability to play PS1 games, and some games exclusive to that time, like Batman Arkham City, Mortal Kombat 9, NBA 2K11 and a few more, have me coming back to my PS3 lately. I've also been disappointed lately in how buggy or broken a few games I recently bought are, like Cyberpunk and the GTA Trilogy. I think the NBA games in the PS3 generation are better than today's, mainly due to the AI not being so bad as it is in current titles.

Even sony's own games run a lot better. Also i remember playing saints row 4, far cry 3 and a few other later ps3 games that looked awful and blurry on ps3 and didn't look as good as in the trailers cause the trailers showed pc versions.

For me, it was all about the games. So many games from that generation have gone down in history as classics. The Last of Us Uncharted Trilogy Ezio Trilogy BioShock 1 & Infinite God of War 3 the Dead Space trilogy Fallout 3 & New Vegas & Skyrim Arkham Asylum It was a golden age of gaming come again, I think. How many games from this generation are going to be remembered as classics? A couple maybe. Bloodborne, Horizon, GoW, Witcher 3. But... compared to the PS3/360 era, nowhere near as many. And development times are now so long that we've stopped getting trilogies within one generation.

And RDR2

[@kaimerk1099]

Uncharted 4 , Lost Legacy , Bloodborne , Persona 5 , Horizon Zero Dawn , The Witcher 3 + 2 Awsome Addons , Red Dead Redemption 2 , Sekiro , God of War , Doom , Dishonored 2 , Prey , Spider-Man , Resi 7 and 2 Remake , Monster Hunter World , MGS V , The Last Guardian , Divinity Original Sin 2 , Pillars of Eternity , Dragon Quest 11 , Hitman 1 and 2 , NieR Automata , Nioh , Titanfall 2 , Dying Light and many more. I dont need shitty Trilogy like Dead Space where ever game became worse and 3 was a trainwreck , Ezio is just an garbage ubiworld where ever game is the exact same. Bioshock Infinite was a shitty shooter no wonder they closed the studio after that. Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy are alot better than the older uncharted games. and we still have tlou 2 to come.

Look you can like the ps3 and drowned yourself in seas of nostalgia but that doesnt mean that the ps4 dont have any excellent games especially the exclusives heck even surpassed than that of the ps3 titles. Imo gaming has been better than ever with all of the unique and great games that we had received so far.

Kai Merk the fuck you have against linear games?

[@pyso8079]

@Michael Ortiz it doesnt have to be an exclusive to be a good game

Exactly

PS4 is the only one that isn't backwards compatible with any of the previous consoles.

[@necrot777]

I expect PS5 has backward compatibility with PS4 and If it had with PS3 I'd buy it in the release day.

“Bend over and lean and let your chain swing...”. Where can I obtain this track? The only place I’ve ever heard it is in PlayStation Home

3:18 damn you have so many friends. How do you keep in touch with all of them?

The thing I miss and will never experience again is just the sheer shock of the graphical fidelity upgrade to PS3. My first PS3 game was "Uncharted 2", so going from a PS2 on a CRT to the PS3 on a HDTV with that game was astounding. With TVs just getting "more HD" and games being so visually deep that some studios have to make the games less photorealistic to avoid Uncanny Valley, the next jump will never be as impressive. I remember thinking what the point of a PS4 is when PS3 graphics couldn't be beat, and didn't realize for years how significantly better PS4 looks over PS3, until I played my PS3 on my 4k TV recently and noticed how low the resolution was. I just played the remastered God of War 3 on PS4 and swore it always looked and ran that well on PS3 and was wondering what was remastered about it until I replayed the oroginal version on the ps3. Now I'm numb to the progress and the industry and technology is at a point where they make more small leaps rather than game changing ones.

@@ultimateopportunist5861 I play on a 4k HDR tv and trust me it's better than a 720p TV. Settings need tweaking it's usually sharpness that's high

I remember playing Uncharted 1 which I got just after we got an HD tv. Man it was impressive. Such a jump from PS2
