PS3 Online in 2023: It's Getting Worse... And Better?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2024
- The state of playing PlayStation 3's free online is in an interesting situation these days. You've got games that are completely broken, or they require alternate accounts, maybe the online pass still hasn't been disabled.. these lingering issues are making it difficult to jump in. But on the flip side, you've got restoration groups bringing older titles back online and making it easier than ever to reconnect. Here's our updated look at the console in this wonderful 2023 year! And shout out to Melissa, her intro came out better than the lame scripted one I came up with.

There is also a custom server for littlebigplanet 1 and 2
Would going on the private servers pop trophies on your PSN account?
@@cdjtftTrophy progression on MS:PR and Killzone 2 work on the PSRewired servers
Do not forget Metal Gear Online 2 in the list ;)
@@k3rber0s_ But wouldn't you get in trouble for trophies popping on your account past shutdown? Sony won't ban you for that?
That MW3 interaction was like a portal to 2011, so wholesome and happy to see people having a good time on the older systems.
What? It was a mess
@@raygengamer8440 you call that a mess???
@@raygengamer8440 What
i'm not able to play it says communication with activision servers interrupted
Repent to Jesus Christ “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.”
Proverbs 3:7 NIV
That guy from Skate 3 was wholesome. 6-7 years and still learning, he says. I can appreciate that.
I still play my ps3 to this day, free online will never be forgotten
Hell yeah
@@Tanzu15 after this vid I had to hop on garden warfare, still super fun
What games do you play? I play the cods mostly but other games aa well
That 'conversation' with Kim had me dying 😂 The zombies were better communicators imo
Actually, on that note, I’ve had that issue in the past with Zombies, where people would either quit multiple times like that or just not ready up at all.
Let’s go! My favorite yearly video is back
Just got my PS3 so this just came at the perfect time
The situation with Skate 3 was a rare occasion where the servers were shutdown but then brought back in 2019 because Skate fans are very persuasive I guess
They never shut down on 360
@@user-jj5eb8ds2u 360 uses peer to peer servers unlike the ps3 which uses actual servers
Been sick with covid the past weekend and took my PS3 with me in isolation. Had an absolute blast playing some classics and browsing the old store.
I think a huge part of the problem is that temporary password BS. It discourages people from wanting to go through the trouble just to play online which shrinks the number of potential players
If it was functional enough it wouldn't be a problem. What I do is I enter the new code into the PS3 dictionary so that I can just copy and paste it if it for some reason disappeared from the saved login. The website it relies on is terrible, contradictory and buggy. All my codes stand as Unused although they are very much in use, and the temporary password things for 2FA is just confusing. You can throw them away immediately since they have nothing to do with PS login, just the account login and there you're better off with SMS. And from many tries and many failures, it seems that you need sms verification to be able to log in on a PS Vita despite that it shouldn't be so. Another thing that shouldn't be so is their statement that "you just need to login once with this device code, then you can log in with your normal PS password". That is absolute falsehood because it hasn't worked a single time on any of my devices.
I don’t understand just save your password when you login. There’s no need to keep entering it.
Your account password doesn’t change.
@@S3r3nityNow The account password doesn't change, and it would be a one-time deal if it weren't so buggy that you'd need to do it several times on that terrible website.
@Henkibojj Probably user error, I haven't had any problems on my PS3 or Vita.
@@dapperfan44 As I said, it all works well until it doesn't. That website is shit and has always been.
- The Vita won't let me in despite correct code and generating new ones over and over. The only thing that works is to accept sms verification, after which even the last code that failed suddenly gets accepted.
- On the subpage for active devices, it just says "My PS3 system", which you can rename. But if you deactivate it, activate another console somewhere (which then gets the "My PS3 system" tag) for a while, deactivate it and come home to activate your standard PS3 again, the label you entered previously is gone and the only way to keep track of them is to rename the console immediately after activation. They don't even save MAC addresses or anything else unique so that you may keep track of it.
- All codes stand as "unused" although they are in use.
- "After you have used the device password once, you may log in using your ordinary PSN password". Again, falsehood. That has never ever worked.
And so on. There are numerous ways they can make the website better, but I believe merely reminding them of it and what needs to be done triggers the knee-jerk reaction that they find the whole console and infrastructure ancient (which is partly true) and that they would rather shut it down than let one engineer spend three working days on getting it fixed.
Love this series. It's such a shame more and more PS3 games are dying
Servers being shutdown left and right.
Sucks but makes sense
@@diamondarrow4567 Why? These companies make more money in one day to keep those servers online for hundreds of years. So because they lose a decimal of a fraction of a percent of their profit it's understandable that it would be shut down. I don't find that justifiable at all.
@@danbooke2001 its not just losing money its mostly security issues as time goes on u dnt want to be at the end of a lawsuit because you failed to maintain an old service while ur focusing on the new and either way not every company is making enough money to keep servers up… not every game dev or publisher is triple A like Activision and such
Emulator is the future
Your last PS3 video inspired me to try and repair my PS3 which to my surprise I was able to do. Now I've started collecting and playing games I missed out on, but now I'm completely hyped with all these servers coming back online that I might be able to get the 10k kills trophy on Resistance 2 and finally get the Platinum for it.
I don't think the Res 2 servers are online anymore, are they? Let me know if they are. That might motivate me to plug the ol' PS3 back in too and plat that game :')
You should be warned that PSNprofiles do not accept trophies from custom created servers
@@thomasnielsen5580 that's pretty stupid it's not like these are modded servers that you can cheat the trophy in, but I guess they can't really differentiate between a private server for cheating and one being used legitimately to unlock a once unobtainable trophy.
I have two dead PS3s. One died because of an electrical storm, the other YLOD'd after a few years. I wanna repair them, especially my YLOD'd one because ot was my second system that I had most of my trophy data on. Dunno if they're still fixable after all these years
@An Infinite Mind of Music and Dreams I'm not sure about the YLOD one, but the one that was in an electrical storm could possibly be fixed.
PS3 is such a nostalgic console for me. So many incredible IP’s were born on that system. It was the Golden Age of COD. The countless gaming memories made on it will last with me forever. It’s really sad seeing the ghost town the online is now especially when thinking about it at its peak. Crazy and scary to think we’re only a short few years shy of the 20th anniversary of the PS3 launch.
Online gaming should be free like ps3.
I had a PS3 and my brother had a 360 back in the day. Honestly, I always felt the online gaming experience on the 360, even compared to today, was top tier. The notifications, the party invities, it always felt you were just a click away from a thriving online community. I don't get that from the Xseries or the PS5.
at that time online games were a new experience, nowadays we’re just used to it and no one uses game chat anymore
@@Moli05 or even plays online anymore. I used to play my Xbox and my 360 online all the time. Now I won't touch an online game if you paid me. I only play the single player modes, campaign, or story. Haven't touched anything but single player experiences for almost 15 to 20 years now.
I feel this especially with the golden days of halo 3. There was just so much for the community to give with that game always fun stuff to do and there’s just not many sandbox games like that anymore or maybe as a hindsight the big sandbox games were a era/phase of games that our generation really loved and it’s different to what the new generation (majority of gamers) love
@@joesmo8086 Halo was so much more fun back then. The community was more creative and the content was awesome. Now multiplayer games are just about leveling up battle passes.
While I don’t mean to look down on the great childhood of many.
The biggest strength of PS3 over 360 on regards to online was that IT WAS FREE!
Simple as that. Xbox did an economically great decision by forcing online to a subscription.
But we the consumers have suffered for 3 console generations and PS users for 2.
Love going back to PS3 games. I am currently replaying the Resistance games. They haven't aged all that well but man, it's just so fun. Currently close to finishing the second. Can't wait to jump back into the third. Gaming on PS3 reminds me of the simpler times, nostalgia overload whatever game I pop in.
Played through them all last year and was a blast. I am cureebtly playing infamous and I can say, I had more fun with resistance and the graphics and mechanics aged better in resistance games as well imo.
It's a pet peeve of mine when people say that something doesn't "age well." If it's still fun, it's still fun.
for real though man. PS3 is such an Nostalgic console to me. Im planning to play ratchet and clank Future series on ps3 again
@@The_One_Eyed_Rouge I'm a huge R&C fan but never played Nexus, is it anything like as good as Tools or ACiT?
@@JoltinJoe You mean R2 campaign, was it online? I don't remember the campaign being very difficult on normal, played it through a couple of times. The multiplayer co-op online was a fun time though!
Ryan I absolutely love that you do these videos. Your 2021 version of this video made me go out and buy a PS3 after selling mine years back. I upgraded it to a higher storage SSD and games load slightly faster. The PS3 is associated with some of the best parts of my life and I love to see that there’s still people playing these systems
I play my ps3 every weekend. Even with a ps5.
Most games are going strong depending on the time. Sadly though the modders have killed alot of games, they are a discgrace.
Its sad to see the online pass is finally killing games and allot of the online community are leaving on most games.
These games have a special place in my heart. One day they will all be gone and that hurts to think about.
True
How did modders kill games
@@LAGator-qu7tc Really? They ruin multiplayer and push people off the game. No one want to play with cheaters and people using aimbot. It kills the player count of a game. Than once its dead the modders get bored as there no one to mess with and cheat on, than they go to another game and kill that one. People who play on old consoles might not have money for a new one. So they play what they can afford or they just want to have fun. They cant do that with cheaters. Those games player counts will never recover as no one wants to bother trying as its brobably filled with cheaters or its dead because of them
@@WiltedRaven2 aren't those called hackers ???
@@LAGator-qu7tc No hacking is different than modding. Modding is modifying a games funtion, like using in game assets and code for exploiting a game. Hence it being called a mod menu, not a hack menu. Hacking is ddos attacks, ip pulling ect. Wich is also an issue.
I hope the restoration of online games will also occur with several PS Vita games too
Ikr? I hope they restore Freedom Wars and Killzone Mercenary.
Yeah Soul Sacrifice Delta needs to be one of them that game was so good
It's likely. Online restoration is currently being brought back to several consoles such as the PS2, DC, GC, Wii, Wii U, classic Xbox and PS3. The 360's version of Live is too difficult but the Vita has a chance as long as someone is interested since I doubt it's too different from the PS3.
Though starting with the PS4 and Xbox One, I doubt we will see PSN/Live emulation in our lifetime lol.
@@Manic_Panic Yeah but you never know miracles have happened before
With how wild the modding scene on Vita has been over the years I wouldn't be surprised.
I'll never stop playing on my ps3 honestly. It's eternal. Games like MW2 GTAIV, Black ops2 all are very special and still fun. Not to mention i still play PS1 and PS2 games on it.
Your backwards compatible PS3 still works?
Facts💯
@@BUPMY1 all ps3 can play ps2 games if jailbroken
@@BUPMY1 My CECHA00 (Japanese 60GB PS3) with full PS2 hardware is still going strong but to be fair, it's probably because the previous owner made it dust free and did the whole delidding process like Ryan has shown in one of his previous vids that helps keep the temps down for the launch models.
@@BUPMY1
Technically all PS3s are backward compatible. I download the games from the digital store. Mine is a slim model.
It's almost time for another one! I hope you plan on doing a 2024 edition, Ryan. Jumping online on PS3 only becomes more fascinating as time goes on.
Mystic, this was golden. I’ve been following you since the PS3 era, and watching these videos feels nostalgic. As if I’m reliving my middle school years.
Idk if you’ll ever see this, i just wanted to say thanks. Great content, keep it up.
Do you play online on ps3
Man i love the people who are restoring everything. Its like my childhood comes back to me. Now i also need PlayStation Home and MotorStorm Apocalypse oh and the other Resistance games then things get even better!
There is a guy who has been working on reviving ps home. Look it up. I think he has gotten as far as getting people online in a sorta alpha phase. Think Ryan covered it but also it’s easy to find info about it.
Hell yeah. That’s my teen years🙏
@Indie Game Fan i already know about it and i'm stoked for that
@@MajorChipHazard316 You mean the PSONE team, right?
Same, original Uncharted 3 Multiplayer I probably put about 2,000 hours in, and I’d love to play the first Motorstorm online again! Favorite off-roading game by far.
I absolutely love this series Ryan. Keep up the great work!
These videos are so important. Thank you for continuing this series!
Love seeing these yearly updates for PS3. I still play lost planet 2 sometimes and PS3 is fairly active with that game
Oh same here
You play EX TROOPERS? It's a spin off to lost planet
I have lost planet 2 but I've never played it. Maybe it's time to give it a try
@@otakuthegreat I haven’t, it’s a JP game only and don’t think it’s in English either. The look of it is cool though
@@robertg6339 it’s a really fun coop game if that’s what you are after. Still fun solo but way better with friends
Whaat yall play that still? What theee fuuuck i played it as a kid
Man those old CODs look so much better. So much simpler. Unlike today.
So much less campy and more run and gun....miss those times.
@@elliswilkerson8328 lets play again man, i started playing again on my ps3. I got all the cods from mw1 to bo2
The PS3 was the first console I ever owned and I still have one today. I finally managed to get a PSN account recently and I’m going to try out some online modes on games like Call of Duty and things by EA 👍 It’s sad that some of the games are dying but it’s great that there are people who want to restore them. Keep making great videos like this 😀
Good to see another video where you check how many PlayStation 3 games are still being played online.
Recently I gave been more active with my PlayStation 3 again and have been thoroughly enjoying LittleBigPlanet 2. This video has rekindled my interest in some games such as the Mass Effect 3 multi-player, Need for Speed Rivals, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift and SOCOM: Confrontation. Will definitely be playing some of those in the next few weeks!
Thanks again for the video! 👍🏻
Just hearing those UI sounds from the PS3 storefront when you were trying to redeem the Dirt 3 code is weirdly nostalgic
Mass Effect 3 has a pretty dedicated online fanbase. A lot of people were dissappointed with a lack of ME3 Multi in the Legendary Edition.
I cant believe people are still playing ME3 online coop! I am going to try to play it on PC.
I love u revisiting old ps3 online games. Still remember how u started this series 5 years ago! Love ur videos.
If you want to be pedantic, it was four years ago
@@unicorntomboy9736 Now it's five.
4.90 update coming up right during the recording of this video is just perfect lol
I love these videos so much, keep it up Ryan! My fingers are crossed for a 30 Platinums (or more) in 30 Days video this year too!
Another great ps3 online catchup always love these yearly videos
the PS3 / 360 era still looks amazing. I feel like they could have extended the life of those consoles another 5 years or more!
You must be insane
No the performance was so bad near the end
Games were barely running about 24fps by 2013, that gen was actually TOO long.
Chill
I absolutely love these videos, 30mins flew by. Was playing some PS3 myself the other night while a done an update on PS5, so this is good timing.
Love these videos. Please keep doing them. I think the fighting games are still fairly active. Blur was active in recent years but unsure now.
that guy playing skate 3 seemed like such a fucking chill guy a could have vibed to him talking all day long haha
PS3 still my main console. I dont have a PS4 or 5.
30:27 this aged... kinda weirdly. No remake or remaster but a simple port lol
That little kimxl350 bit had me dying😂😂😂
Man so many hours of RDR online. Love how it threw you right into the stand off , was such a great way to start a team game fun exciting and different every game. Sad the standoff didnt make a return in the sequel. Skate and the CODs brought back memories too
I love this videos, I look forward to it every year. I have been watching Mystic Videos for a bunch of years.
11:44
This guy is the epitome of "Living in the old age"
I love this guy
That Kim bit had me cracking up 😆😆
the ps3 era was something else back in the day still is with all the amazing games.
I go to know you for this kind of videos, I fucking love them and everytime I come back here beeing fucking curious about how many people are still playing this old online titles on PS3 (or old console in general). These videos give me everytime so much nostalgia, but also a kind of... happines? a smile on my face, when I see that people are still there, loving the online game.
Thanks for your work!
Melissa! It's always a treat to see her in your already excellent videos.
So sad to see how many hackers are ruining bo2. Miss the days when cod was actually fun
Been waiting for this years edition for a while. I still play PS3 online to this day and it’s pretty interesting seeing others react to the online community.
What games are still active online that you have?
@jid GTA 4, Black Ops 1 2 and 3 Modern Warfare 1 2 and 3 and Battlefield 1-4 PVZ:GW, Minecraft, Xenoverse, Red Dead Redemption. Those are just a few I have but for the past month I haven't really been active since I have exams so this could have changed.
Every time you do these videos, I'm glad that you keep the nostalgia of the PS3 alive. When you did World at War, I wanted to be there. The only COD I love
Back in the Days Uncharted 3 and Uncharted 2 and TLOU multiplayer had for the last 3 or 5 months all multiplayer dlcs for free, before the servers got closed
Broooo wheres 2024 edition
It’s not even halfway through 2024 yet so ofc it’s not out yet
@@gorepunk He usually did them at the beginning of the year though. He had a track record of releasing the PS3 Online videos around late January to early February, with this one being the exception in mid March. At the time I thought he cancelled the series since up to that point he was releasing the videos in that time frame, when he released this one I was relieved. Also the fact that in 2023 he didn't do a PS Vita video at all, when at that point he was releasing them in late March to early April. He may or may not do one this year (I don't know) but even if he doesn't, we have channels like MAWK3 so we still have people making videos on this niche part of gaming.
@@user-sn8zx5mv1xadvertising another TH-camr. What would ryan say about that? I like to watch Ryan every Friday. I will always be a sony player. I did try dayz on xbox game pass I played it for awhile but I don't play it anymore I don't know why maybe because I don't have internet. Well I have dsl internet satellite internet it's like dialup internet. I go to my nephews house because he has faster internet then me but I don't think I'll play dayz anymore tbh maybe I will start to play it again someday.
That aged well
"Don't worry I'm pit certified" misses and goes head on 🤣🤣🤣
@Mystic
I have never clicked fast on a video, keep up the great content!
Absolutely love when you do these. It's so funny to hear the people and wonder why/how they're still playing PS3 titles as I'm sure there are a huge variety of reasons. Really fun.
Unrelated question but I'm wondering if you know what day we're likely to see the next game update for the PS+ Catalog? Do you think it will be the 21st since that's the day that Tchia releases?
I miss the open voice chat lobbies that used to be more standard on ps3. It's also ironic that PS3 had more shooters than Ps4 and Ps5
It felt so much more lively than ps4 and ps5 that required you to add people and create voice chats for most games.
They could've gave users the option to disable lobby voice chat as an option to address any users that got annoyed with it
thank you for keepeng us up to date :)
Beautiful cat dude 😍
Always enjoy these. Hope we can get another one in 2024
That Arkham Origins discussion is actually one of my friends. We took a few weeks and a bunch of us did the Origins online trophies. Was not fun in the long run to sit through the 40+ minute wait time. Multiplayer is still fun though, even if it was trophy oriented for us!
So he just had to wait 10 more minutes…
@@manukau5271 Possibly! I know we had a few instances where it was around 30 and a few where it may have gone into 50+. It’s a very finicky system. Even so, there’s almost no one there to actually play. As Mystic said in the video, it’s mainly for cleaning up those online trophies
So no one plays it for fun cause I did (and I want the trophies as well
@@Weyland_Punani I legit can't even connect to the Internet on my PS3 smh
I liked that you go back through the PS3 community games. thats for sharing that information about those servers being active. keep up the good work.
My favorite yearly series on Yt, great work! 👍
I wish Sony would make more ps3 titles backwards compatible I want to play dead space 1,2,3 socom, army of two resistance and other titles. Where can I get a ok ps3 headset. I like the skate 3 dude he was having me 😂😂 I am glad to see people playing online on the ps3 hopefully another decade more will see players online. This is amazing what “Ps re wired “ is doing, I didn’t know we can play ps2-3 games still online like that. Can you make a tutorial how to install this and get games up and running aka “ socom 2, confrontation, mgs4, killzone 2,3 “ this is so awesome.
Always awesome to see the ps3 has some life left. I will always love that platform and the hours I spent making friends through gaming 💙😌
Thanks Mystic, I love you making vids on PS3 Online annually.
I still play online from time to time and i still do enjoy games like (BF Bad Company, BF3, CoD4, MW2, Killzone 2, MotorStorm and etc.)
I picked up Socom Confrontation today at my local Exchange because of this video. Excited to start playing with everyone!
I bought a sealed copy of metal gear solid collection on PS3 last month and the code for MGS1 worked. I think its date was sometime in 2015. I also had a copy of God of War collection work so I could claim Chains of Olympus/Ghost of Sparta. They do sometimes happen in 2023
Haha same went back to ps3 to play all those games you mentioned. Very nostalgic
I acquired an old code for a ps4 dynamic theme and it’s expired. There is a reason why they don’t care about the ps3 in any way, it was an embarrassment financially and the security is abysmal.
Are the GoW games the Vita versions? I have an original (bought new) disc of GoW 1&2 Collection but I never saw a code for the other games.
@@kimchi_b psp versions but converted to ps3 and vita for ghost of sparta and chains of olympus ps3 versions would be god of war 1,2,3I had the codes for the gow collection for the ghost of sparta and chains of olympus. But mine was pre owned. So they didnt work when i use em. So i purchase those two seperately on the ps3. Not gonna lie tho i played ghost of sparta on the psp back then i had a hard time dodging enemy attacks with my big fingers. I may have better luck on the ps 3 controller lol
@@jmallas984 Thank you my friend, wow the PSP, we are going back now eh?!! I had the original GoW collection (PS2 ports) on PS3 which was just GoW and 2, and 3 separately before that when it launched. I had no idea they put GoS and CoO on the PS3, I'll have to check that out, thanks! Are they better than Ascension (also PS3 for me)? I found that a bit below the first three main titles. Cheers!
I think I lost my PSN account to hackers. I think they set up 2FA, rip lost free psn play on PS3 & lost all digital games on PS3, Vita, PSP, & PS4. The dangers of a digital only world. Not to mention Trophies & everything.
Bro was online playing when Sony gave a console update lmaoooo. That is too funny. Love the videos Mystic, thanks for sticking to it man! Much love and respect as always.
I love these videos man. PS3 is in my top 3 consoles. Mystic, you’ve gotta be the coolest and chillest dude on TH-cam.
For arkham origins, you have to leave it on the error message for the 40 ish minutes instead of the "press start" screen. Should automatically pop up an autosave page then load you in. Love the videos!
legends say that kimxl350 is still entering and exiting that lobby
I love these videos! So much nostalgia , it hurts.
Some of these games still look good!! It's easy to forget how slow graphical progress has been since the PS1 > PS2 leap. Great video Ryan. Thanks for entertaining us.
GTA IV is really nostalgic for me and I loved free roam back in the day. I am tempted to pick up a PS3 just for this game
I mod gta if you want to join me when you get it! I don’t play ps3 as much since I got a ps4
SOCOM: Confrontation was the first real competitive multiplayer game I ever got into. Still feel that it has one of the most competitive/strategic atmospheres to it. What a throwback. Anyone who remembers that community, ya boy was the TILLY expert on the team. 😤
Thanks for this ps3 online video Ryan really enjoy all you content you have been massive inspiration to my TH-cam and gaming journey 👌👌👌
Ahh yer here we go again! Thanks mystic for doing this again keep this coming each year
3:30-4:00 reminds me so much playing AC3 multiplayer on PS3 a year ago trying to get the online-trophies 😅 I spend more time in the lobby than actually playing the game but eventually I got it all done 💪 Pure determination and patience!
Looking forward for PS Vita online in 2023
I have a backlog on the PS3 and I decided recently to start tackling it again. Missed this console tbh.
I wish I could travel back to the early 2010’s so I can try out more PS3 games online 🎮
I played some World at war yesterday. Actually never had any issues finding a lobby (EU).
I’ve noticed this issue too of loading into ps3 games where it might crash all the time in some games. Go offline, load into the game. If it works, try to create a local/private game, then when you load in, sign back in then leave and now you can enjoy multiplayer
I hate how I spent time making this comment just for 5 seconds later he finds this out
(This is how I play bo2)
Man, I love these videos. Thanks, World at war brings back so many memories of my being a young teenager. Great times.
So many funny moments during this. Loved the "KIM" debacle, lol.
It's kinda funny watching Mystic tried to convince strangers to play with him 😆. Anyway, i'm still playing my PS3 but only for PS1 & PS2 classics and a couple of backlog. I tried to played COD Black Ops 1 TDM but it has plenty of hackers. Sadly the bluray drive is broken 😔
I’ve been playing a lot more PS3 games online lately due to how much a lot of games player bases have declined. Going for rare online trophies and enjoying nostalgic games before the eventual end for the PS3. After the changes and rumors with the PS Store and online features, figured it’s now or never with a lot of these games
What online games are still active?
Great to have this yearly checkin to see which games are still active. Sad to see what happened with Dirt 3
Awesome video man socom series has a diehard following and I think it’s awesome to hop on confrontation on the weekends and green up and enjoy late 40s a little better
There is a detail that k3rber0s didn't mention and it's that for the most part, people on the PS3 and Rpcs3 (the emulator) are able to play together. There can be some games that just do not play well with the emulator and those can be an issue.
What timing just got in my fat 80gb backward compatible ps3 yesterday. Haven't had time to really test it out, but I do have Sonic Unleashed, Sonic 06, and COD Black Ops. Gonna see if I can get in some online black ops zombies games tonight.
i love this, i ALWAYS wish you would say your doing this. i play ps3 sometimes for this kinda thing
Idk why I wasn't subscribed man I could have sworn I was thats why u haven't seen you in a while but I'm glad ur video popped up. Always liked your videos man keep it up don't quit
Dude Ryan it's really the PS3 online infrastructure that is the biggest issue. I've been playing on both Xbox 360 and PS3 a lot lately and realize playing online on Xbox 360 is a lot easier then on PS3. A lot of games on Xbox Live are still going where as the same game on PS3 will be dead.
I guess Xbox backwards compatibility helps a lot in keeping the multiplayer alive
@@SyamDaRos-EndoManno
True that probably is it like I went in GTAIV the other day and ppl were still playing that online on the Xbox 360 but that game is fully backwards compatible on the Xbox Series X and runs at a locked 30FPS without dropping frames at what I believe is 4K so that's probably a bug reason why ppl still play it.
@@SyamDaRos-EndoManno will sony ever make ps3 backwards compatible?
@@Cheaps928 a lot of effort for getting no money?! No, they are going to remake every single game for 70$/80€!
I really envy Xbox backwards compatibility 😢
GTA IV online needs to be kept online forever such a fun time
Same goes for Garden Warfare, I still regularly find full lobbies on weekends. I wonder why they shut down gta 5 on ps3?
@@terry.1428 too many hackers. I think it's probably a question of reputation, it doesn't look good for a company like Rockstar to have a broken MP working. The second issue is probably that they couldn't update the ps3 version further, which ruined their possibility to sell shark cards. No money, no fun.
I’m currently working on repairing my ps3 right now and this is pretty cool!
Just bought a ps3 last week. Helpful video, thanks !
I've been playing my ps3 a lot more lately. Just might have to try playing some online 🤔
I just started playing again recently. Cods are active. Wondering what other good games have active online
