What are some of your favorite PlayStation™® 3 games?
Ratchet & clank games
Can you upload the ending skits to the skit channel as well? Thanks.
Infamous
Killzone 2 no other fps game has filled that itch
Doing Gods work. Cheers fella.
It may be old... but we're still playing the same games from it.
If I got a ps5 I would want fallout, skyrim. Gta5, minecraft, and terraria. All games I have on ps3 and pc (and ⅖ of them on andriod). I agree there is no need (for me) to update till there are new good games.
@@JWG.LLC_The_Artist It's funny how Microsoft owns Fallout, Skyrim and Minecraft now. Minecraft will be multiplatform tho.
@@kolo5141 ikr I bet Microsoft would buy the rites to tetris if they could.
@@JWG.LLC_The_Artist Wouldn't you?
@@kolo5141 oc, I'm definitely not dissing, let them make money, put all my fave games on game pass. Win win
Now that the PS5 is out I can finally afford a PS3!
When the PS7 is released, you will be able to find a PS5 on the shelf.
@@pleasuretokill I have a PS5
@@samuraibeastwarrior2886 guess you’re a shelf
Yes been waiting for ps5 now it's already out (though hard to find) now I can buy a OG PlayStation.

"Don t worry. He s a dad so he s gonna let you"🤣🤣🤣🤣
There it is, the PS3 is now officially “Retro” and I´m officially old.
soon it will be PS4
If your Officially Old because the PS3 is now "retro", then im Officially Archaic because the SNES is 30 years old lol
@@darthkai8242 Exactly! Retro my ass.
Great product placement with a hair loss commercial at the end.
I felt a bit old when this thing game out, and I never owned one so I think this is "that new one". I had just bought a ps2 right about the time the PS3 came out, actually. I don't think I fully explored the PS2 library either so I still sort of feel like PS2 is the current generation in my life....
I hope you never burn out on Gamesack, Joe. I want to be a grizzled old man watching retrospectives on the PlayStation 7 or whatever.

The cringe is real
Please, bring back Dave once in a while...
@@Malamockq lol do you get embarrassed when people talk about their appreciation for things? Must be tiring.
@@Malamockq You must be talking about that single video on your channel, that has 4 likes and 105(!) dislikes? I feel your pain man, that's an absolute embarrassment.
@@McHaro0079 Dave left coz he's a POON
I loved the ps3 for the large exclusive library and the fact the online games were free without having to pay for a yearly amount. Also the psn store had a lot of great classics.
I like it because it is fat, just like how i prefer women
The best part is you can still use online play on PS3 without PS+ and it works fine.
@@silverwah well certain games.
Still sad ridge racer isn't a launch title for every game system anymore.
RIIIIIIDGE RACER!!!! (remember that one?)
I am too. I loved it when almost every new console came with a Ridge Racer.
Anymore ?
Wtf
@@hondamanvtec2894 the last ridge racer game to launch with a system was Ridge Racer for the Vita. PS4, PS5, Xbone and X series did not have any Ridge Racers titles released on them. The last ridge racer game was released for the iphone.
@@GameSack Things went downhill with Ridge Racer on the DS. It’s an abomination.
"I'm not going to cover the game you want me to cover just out of spite" LOL!
I'm new here, which game is that?
@matt allen I see, thanks
@matt allen thanks Matt! While I agree with you, I'd like to think he was being a bit meta; No matter which games he talks about someone will complain 'they can't believe game xyz didn't make the list!'
@@stashmerkin9576 I think that's what Matt meant
How did he know?
Ps3 is 15 years old in 2 months, time really be flying
I went to prison a week after the PS2 came out. I did a 20 year bid. Time didn’t “be flying” for me.
Its more like 6 months, it came out in March 2007
@matt allen my name in the pen was Manny Inches.
@@lutherheggs451 that’s the European release date. The PS3 launched first in Japan and North America in November 2006
@@dauntae24 did you touch someone in their nono area?
These console overviews are some of the best I’ve seen on TH-cam. I love all of the under appreciated games you call attention to that aren’t just the AAA/ system sellers we are all acquainted with. They’ve definitely shown me some new stuff I want to collect; and others I’ve forgotten all about!
Motorstorm Pacific Rift was exquisite and highly recommended as it improved on everything from the original. The PS3 remains my favourite console of all time, so thanks for this video.
Killzone ² is visually impressive today, let alone back then! Great video as always
Visually impressive but boring and unmemorable, in my opinion, like a lot of Sony's first party stuff in the last ten years except for Bloodborne.
Still love this system to death.
Need to beat Siren and Syndicate one day.
This system holds so many memories, Kof 13, Tekken tag 2, asura’s wrath and so many more. Can’t believe it’s retro now :(
Its not retro, retro is at least 20 years old.
I think the system has some good games, but I'm also sort of bitter since it was the beginning of games chasing casual gamers with endless tutorials that treat you like a moron, almost every game having brown/grey graphics, a majority of games being shooters/sports/racing games, and so many amazing franchises from the PS2 era and before completely died off because they couldn't sell in the primarily casual market. Some of those problems have been fixed since then with subsequent generations, but others are still an issue to this day.
@@Jordan3DS I can agree there, the tutorial nonsense did start during that era and it was rather annoying.
“GAME SACK JUST UPLOADED A DAMNED NEAR FORTY WHOLE-ASS MINUTE VIDEO ABOUT THE PLAYSTATION 3” I just shouted at a cop
Going to the county. Commissary is on Wednesday don’t forget
No, you didn't.
Who are you again
@@waltersobchak7275 let's put some money on his books so he can get a few soups
40 whole asses?!?!?!? Daaaammmmnnnn, that's like 80 whole cheeks!!!!
My very favorite console of all-time (right there with Neo Geo,) and for good reason! What a beast of a piece of technology, they certinally don't make 'em like this anymore. Recently hit 400 games in my PS3 library, PS3 will never die! The ability this thing had in it's end-life able to push out games that looked as good as early PS4 titles, the fact it had backwards compat, the fact it has the BEST soundchip of any home console, and forward thinking technology built in. Just perfection.
My PS3 is my current favorite! It's also my newest. Now that Joe has officially proclaimed it as retro, I no longer have to hide in shame as a retro gamer.

Going back through some old Sack episodes again and saw this comment. THANK YOU for the timestamps.
@@LordLOC You're welcome. I told them on twitter to do timestamps, they said they did not care so I stopped watching them
It is insane how many quality exclusives were on the PS3.
I grew up in the 80's.
My first console was an Atari 2600...
But the PS3 may be my favorite console out of all of them. So many great games, versatility in media playability, backwards compatibility with PS1 (and even PS2 on some models), lots of customization options... just a great console.
Literally watching this while I wait for the 10 minute long end game credits of mgs4
Cried when my 80gb version YLOD me and that was the one that still had the card reader, PS2 playback, and chrome finish.
That was the 60GB Version. The 40gb and 80gb versions was the scaled down model.
You can get it fixed. Most ylod is due to capacitor chips and not the gpu
@@fplgregfrost One in the video was the 60GB yes, but mine was an 80GB basically the second batch that was released before the redesigned to the first slim.
@@jesseslack2089 ahh yes, that was only available for about a month that batch lol.
@@fplgregfrost Why the tears lol.
I had so much fun playing Warhawk with my friends.
First the Master System, now this. Joe is just pumping out quality long episodes.
A wonderful system, and one that your recommendation of 3D Dot Game Heroes 5 years ago, or whenever it was Joe, has led me to amassing over 650 PS3 games in the collection. Most unplayed, good old plastic shelf fillers, 3D Dot Game Heroes however has been played many times. Nice.
It was probably a good idea to start collecting PS3 games sooner rather than later, since eventually the prices are going to spike once it becomes a mainstream collector's system
I have a complete ps3 game collection. And ps2.
@@janinesmithers6940 How much games you played and beat like 50?
Heavenly Sword was ahead of its time when it came to the motion controls.
That part where you control the cannon ball was how motion controls ended up evolving. Many switch games and steam games use the same style for Gyro Controls.
Breath Of The Wild bow control on the WiiU PERFECT that is the standard for me now, any other company wants to copy it because Nintendo freaking got it perfect with the Wiiu motion controls. I am actually tougher with just the bow now, than with any other weapon. beast mode lol.
I hated the motion controls and once I found you could turn them off I was happy, plus it made passing the motion control spots easier.
@@buckroger6456 Yeah man PS3 motion controls (and everybody elses apart from Wiiu) are wank.
I couldn't get past those bits at all and ended up selling them game and not finishing it... That annoyed me, there's only ever been a couple of games I didn't beat... Rah. Lol.
@@DailyCorvid lol I feel your pain. I was ready to rage quit the game because of the motion controls till I found you could just turn them off. I really didn't like how everyone wanted to copy the Wii with the motion controls.
@@buckroger6456 They're shitty compared with what I am used to in terms of motion control, the PS3 6A Motion control circuit is cheap and tacky compared with the Wiiu gamepad motion control.
Go from Breath Of The Wild perfect accuracy bow shooting mechanics on Wiiu, then try anything on PS3 and you will hate it.
It's night and day, the Wiiu doesn't ever fail or get thrown across the room in a rage. PS3 controllers last me about a week motion controlling :D I break em cuz they're shit by comparison.
Now on emulation EVERYTHING gets the same controllers no more shit but I don't emulate Ps3 as I have one.
The controller initially didn’t have rumble because of a patent dispute over the rumble technology.
Everybody knows already, thank you.
@@efuuu well I didnt, so there
Yes but they weren't going to come out and say 'rumble isn't necessary' because 'we are getting sued by a vibrator company' were they
As someone who doesn't use rumble, I loved the original sixaxis controller. It was so light it was easy to forget you were holding it.
The other console makers settled. Sony did not until later
One of the biggest joys in my life is listening to that Game Sack guitar riff. Been doing that since 2013. 👏👍❤
PS3 was the first console i bought, having grown up with PC. It brought me so many hours of enjoyment, and I bought more than 70 games for it between 2008 and 2013. Still my favorite console to this day
Thanks for making this episode Joe. I've always had great memories with the PS3. I bought one in Japan for around $100 along with a DSL subscription.
Innit this is probably my favourite episode on my tied first place favourite console! Sit back light your blunt enjoy :D
Dang, never caught one fresh out of the oven like this, and it's a console-specific episode! Good stuff, Joe.
Same exact thing I thought
Just like my first DVD player was a PS2, my first Blu-ray player was a PS3. It’s still a fantastic system with crap-ton of quality games in its library. Even when I first bought my PS4, I spent the next couple of years favoring the PS3.
Having tons of fun right now filling in the holes in my PS3 and 360 collections . It was such a good time in gaming , so many good games .
Was playing Tekken 6 on my PS3 earlier today.
Fantastic work on this video! I was an early adopter of the PS3, and, despite its sloppy launch and relatively slow first year, my eagerness paid off because SONY really stood behind the system: it ended up having a phenomenal library, including some of the most memorable PlayStation exclusives to date.
BTW, I hope the hypothetical “Part 2” shows some love to the InFamous series.
Was pleased to see 3D Dot Game Heroes on here. One of my favorite PS3 games. Very underrated. I’d like to play through it again but my PS3 died years ago. From what I’ve seen, that game is worth a lot of $$$ these days…
I think that generation of consoles was the last generation where the upgrade in systems really looked like a definite upgrade from the one before, after that, it all really looked the same, thus it's the one I stopped at.
Yeah I miss Halo 3 on the 360 because it was great and didn't need battlepass to unlock things now Halo 3 on MCC on Xbox One, PC and Series X has way too much content that takes forever to unlock and half of it sucks.
For me the last console that really made me go "wow" was a Sega Dreamcast back in 1999. It was such a massive upgrade over PS1 visually. After it, the PS2 felt really underwhelming and just more of the same. PS3 was like an HD PS2. I still loved my ps3 for some great games (Fallout 3, Demon's Souls, etc.) and streamlined online capabilities(COD multiplayer), it was fun. PS4, PS5 though.. nothing really too memorable
@@alex.starostin Never Forget 9/9/99 !!!
The editing in this video is absolutely stunning.
Awesome man.
Good to see you finally did an episode on PS3. There are other PS3 only games that you didn’t review like Tales of Xillia 1-2, Tokyo Jungle, Infamous 1-2, Twisted Metal (2012), and White Knight Chronicles. Oh well… still a great episode!
I remember playing Infamous at a friend's house at the time and thinking "this is just about the most generic game I've ever played". It was at the point where I did a mission where I had to just sit there and throw boxes off a boat that I was like "yeah, let's never play this again..."
What do u think about the twisted metal game on the ps3?
I have the super-slim...still makes for a really good quality bluray disc player!
Half-Life Orange Box was a good compilation, the Batman games, a few of the James Bond games were well done, and an old favourite from the pc first-person shooter: Painkiller! Always loved the insanity behind that one!
That "Japanese History - Giant Enemy Crab" is just hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Opening with a track from Shatter, great choice and one of the first games I had on my PS3. Great game and phenomenal soundtrack
I still remember the launch of the ps3 back in 06. I was in middle school back then and i recently rewatched the g4 launch event. Alot of good memories. Hard to believe im almost 30 now. Have 15 years really gone by that fast?
The PS3 is what got me back into gaming back in 2015. Picked one up for $60 locally to play whilst looking after my son. Might have to get it back out to play some of these games again :D
Glad to see Time Crisis here! I still play it every now and then!
The time between now the PS3's launch is LESS time between the release of Wolfenstein 3D and Resistance 1. I feel old
Resistance: Fall of man. A classic that was only bettered by Resistance 2.
Goes to show though the generations that were fortunate to live during those times saw great evolutions in gaming
Just goes to show how little things have evolved in the gaming space over time. We went from the SNES to the PS3 being a 15 year period, then the PS3 to the PS5 being a 15 year period, and the only difference now is that the HD is slightly higher resolution.
I got pumped when I saw 3D Dot Heroes come up and then had to remind myself that Game Sack is where I originally learned about the game. I then calmed down.
I love how you flash that picture of Hideo Kojima [kojima.png] every time you say "Hideo Kojima" [kojima.png].
Well added that time crisis collection to my wishlist.
Same.
This is one of the moments again where I REALLY feel old
just know that motorstorm pacific rift is an improvement over the original in every single way
One of *thee* best racing games ever, my fave PS3 title and, furthermore, the reason I still hold onto my PS3 due to (Motorstorm series) remaining exclusive to the console. Would love a Higher Def Trilogy? 🤷♂️
Thought the same. Pacific Rift was astoundingly good!
@@NeoGeoNinja81 I believe there is a Motostorm game on PsP and Ps2, but I get what you meant
@@josecabre1 arctic edge is also super good, i'm not ashamed to say that it's on the same level as pacific rift
@@josecabre1 There was no Motorstorm game for PS2.
MGS4 had all uncompressed audio? No wonder it made my apartment sound like a war zone.
Playing it on a surround system is brutal
Your neighbours must love that! :)
Did Joe just play through all of Demon's Souls without locking on to a single enemy? If so then that is pretty impressive.
Pro gamer move. I think the AI in the Souls games uses the player locking on to improve their tracking. A lot of bosses are easier if you don't lock on, I've found.
@@parissmith5727 When I first played the Souls games I found that locking on to bosses resulted in "camera chaos"... so I quickly learned that not locking on unless I was using a projectile to be the way to go.
I still use mine every day as a blu ray player. Great video as always!
Bought mine just for the Blu Ray as well. Bought The Last of Us and couldn't finish it, then used it as a media player until I got a silent Fire Stick. I still have it as it's my lone Blu Ray player except for the optical drive in my PC.
I liked the skit where Joe is promoting anti-balding remedy.
Nice one, Joe!
Man, the Shatter soundtrack is awesome.
Seconded.
I still listen to it, that bassline is so distinct
It really is fantastic, still firmly in my playlist too...
Everyday Shooter too.
The Sony Saturn.
An expensive, powerful, complicated, wonder of a machine that was ultimately a troubled follow-up to the company's wildly successful precious console.
Except unlike the Saturn, the PS3 ended up being quite a success by the end of its life.
Yes, specially considering the video game market was much bigger and given the PS1 and PS2 basically surpassed 300mi+ units sold, it made sense to push the PS3, even if it was a disgrace for developers, Sony was just too big to ignore at that point. Unfortunately, the Saturn didn't have the same luck.
It's funny, because every company makes the same mistakes when they're on top in the previous generation. Nintendo did it with the SNES -> N64 and then again for the Wii -> Wii U, Sony did it with the PS2 -> PS3, Sega did it for the Genesis -> Saturn, and Xbox did it for the 360 -> One. Once they're at rock bottom, though, they always come back with a really great/popular system like the N64/GCN -> Wii, Wii U -> Switch, Saturn -> Dreamcast, and PS3 -> PS4.
@@Jordan3DS The Dreamcast sure wasn't popular though, however great it may have been 💀💀💀(although you could argue that it was successful when it launched)
@@zake64 That's why I said "great/popular". Dreamcast wasn't popular but it was a giant step up over the Saturn, and the Wii is arguably not a "great" system depending on who you talk to but it was wildly successful and popular.
I've just got back into collecting for it, amazing system!
Fat old one is the daddy, I had one for years but my flat burnt down :( Nothing survived, and I bought a PC so went away from consoles. But shit man PS2 blew me away then PS3 literally demolished my sensibilities :D
Joe didn’t mention Resistance: Fall of Man. For me was a great game, but his disdain of FPS games is self explanatory.
Favorite console, hurts that this is vintage now. This is where I stopped caring about new systems, got the PS4 and just wasn't the same. I miss home and folding!
PS1 and PS2 are my favorite Sony console eras. Nothing feels nearly as exciting anymore that's for sure.
Only game I currently care about Is Elden Ring.
You're right it isn't the same, PS4 was way better
@@kicapanmanis1060 graphically sure, more power, but the innovations just not there, the come from behind victory isn't there, the plethora of exclusives was not nearly as big for ps4. vr was great, but ps3 had move, light guns and eye of judgement card game! So no ps4 was not better in my opinion, you are entitled to yours, but they are opinions after all!
@@fawkkyutuu8851 just getting back into ps2 and man does it still kick butt! Mr. Mosquito and atv offroad fury 2 are my go to games!
Truly the last great console. Great games, could have hundreds of games installed at once without running out of space, backwards compatible and didn't need to be constantly online to use!
That's an iffy assessment as it was the first console built from the ground up to support DRM based on the system's world clock. DVDs, blu-rays, physical games, downloaded movies, and downloaded games will eventually stop working when two things happen: Sony decides to close the webgate, and the console's CMOS battery dies. The PS4 and presumably the PS5 (perhaps already proven but I stopped following the story) are also like this.
@@parissmith5727 lol no. my battery is dead and nothing happened
@@nikito370 It's because Sony's network is still running and your system can still refresh its clock every time you boot it back up.
@@parissmith5727 no, not true. its been proven your physical games will still work. do some digging up on it for yourself. ps4 is different to where yes your physicals wont work anymore. its a useless console basically
i got over 100 games 100 movies a 1tb did wonders
Loved my PS3. Bought a 20GB as soon as I found one at Target (happened by the case and got the last one...) Wonderful system that still works today. :) Unlike my 5th 360. ;)
2 am Upload ! I was about to go to sleep and not I can't ... ugh! 🤣🤘 Thanks for having one of the best retro channels I adore!
Every second Sunday at 2am for you minus time changes. Sometimes we get a bonus episode on the off weeks!
I love the PlayStation 3, it’s become one of my favorite systems and I love collecting for it to the point that I decided I’m going for a complete set (not counting NBA Elite 11). Thank You for this retrospective Joe.
My favorite PS3 Games are
Tales of Xillia
Ni no Kuni
Dragons Crown
Nier
Uncharted Series
NBA Jam (2010)
Lollipop Chainsaw
NI NO KUNI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Joe, this was a great episode of GameSack! I learned FromSoftware developed 3D Dot Game Heroes specifically from this video, which was really neat!
If you ever make a part 2 on the ps3, I’d love to hear you possibly talk about some of the following games:
1.) Folklore (exclusive)
2.) Enchanted Arms (non-exclusive, but weirdly interesting)
3.) Drakengard 3 (exclusive)
4.) Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire (exclusive)
5.) Starhawk (exclusive, not to be confused with WARhawk).
I can't wait for the Wii U episode!
Damn dude, you should really try Motorstorm Pacific Rift, its such a huge improvement over the first game and its easily one of the best racers on the PS3. It was one of my favourite games back in the Ps3 heyday.
It's been 15 years and still no game even comes close to what they promised in Motor Storm.
I just want a way to play Motorstorm again. I love that overhyped underdelivered tech demo.
Still had a lot of fun playing Motorstorm at my friend's house when he bought his PS3 at launch !
I like the font of the early units better
aka the Spiderman 3 font
Gotta give some mad props to Joe for those stop-motion teardowns, I'm sure they took ages to shoot.
FUN FACT: Did ya know... Scott the Woz uses a 3D Dot Game Heroes track for his outro?
OMG it is from 3D dot ??! Thanks I can now die in peace !
Ah Motorstorm. Fond memories of trying that one out back to back with Nintendo's ExciteTruck at a GameStop kiosk. Needless to say...I went with the Wii that holiday.
"I had a hard time targeting enemies"
Of course Joe, you were playing with the largest sword, not using the locking on. Of course.
Pretty impressive if he did beat the game never using lock on. Ive beaten all the souls games and even i would have hard time with that.
@@adonizi well, if you use a claw grip it's quite easy to play "unlocked".
Joe here was just mashing, and badly lol
"The Sony Playstation 3"
Oh shit, he's going to play it for this episode.
""I'm not going to cover the game you want me to cover just out of spite."
Oh damnit. lol
What game? I'm lost
@@JadedJester739 Probably The Last of Us
29:53 Ebert actually rescinded this comment pretty quick when someone recommended him to play Shadow of the Colossus, and admitted he was presumptuous with his claim.
Well he was still dead wrong, and now he's just dead.
Joe, you talked about Demon's Souls, even after saying that you wouldn't out of spite. You keep us on our toes Joe!
He was probably talking to Resistance fans. 3 games in the ps3 and he didn't talk about any of them.
He made it so much harder for himself not pressing R3 to lock on to enemies lol.
32:07 Killzone 3 was made with the Sharpshooter attachment in mind which, IMO, completely changes the game. You should try it out if you ever get the chance.
It made it easy as hell to own people in the MP using the move.
I think the PS3 might just have my favourite overall library of any console. My collection currently sits at 283 and there’s still more games I want for it. Amazing console and an incredible era in gaming.
Nice. Have about 100-110 personally.
@@Yukatoshi gets pretty addictive when you can hunt for the majority of games for under $10! Luckily I got quite a few of the now pricey titles when they were getting cleared out of bargain bins back around 2014. The seventh gen just had so many fantastic AA and B-grade titles that got overlooked at the time.
Yes, both the PS3 and Xbox360 are now retro.
Unfortunately every PS3 I have owned overheated within a couple years including the OG 60gb PS3 a PS3 slim and a PS3 super slim.
I collect for the Xbox360 now since the slim 360s are far more reliable than any of the PS3 models.
It also helps that the Xbox One and Series S/X consoles are BC.
Oh man. I hope mine can survive long enough.
@@cliffturbo2146 you might have better luck if you have a PS3 slim. The OG fat PS3s are ticking time bombs.
@@xenonronin7789 I have the Slim version. Once had a fat model, but it was so damn loud.
Have a slim 120 for something like 12 years now, bought it use and never had any problems with it !
The back compat list is pretty poor though. Tons of Xbox games that could be played on 360 can't be played on X1/XS.
the PS3 is where i learn about soft modding,jailbreak and playing back ups
living in South East Asia it was basically a necessity cause games are pretty expensive and not all stores have them in stock.
availability is a bit better near the end though and it gets a lot better during the PS4 era.
SEA have one of the cheapest PSN+ fees and also the cheapest physical copies sold brand new.
Dunno what your talking about tbh.
If you Pirate dont make excuses for being one.
Titles available all over the region, and online stores provide easy access also, this was during the PS3 era, and had only gotten better in the PS4 era, but it existed back then too.
Besides handhelds, this is actually some of the more recent games ive watched being played lol. I wonder how a ps5 game would look irl to me. Will it look like if its real?
That Puppeteer game is going up in price so would suggest getting it on PSN before you can't get it. I liked the look of the game so just going by your recommendation Joe!
Glad I bought it cheap lol.
I like how in every video if you mention a developer's name you have to show a picture of him, I don't know why but I always laugh
I do too because hes like here is STUART MELLINGS or some other nerdy looking stranger I shall never meet :D I am laughing and under my breathe I am like "hehe wannabe celeb z lister !" lul
Fun fact: You can actually play House of The Dead: Overkill using the mouse on the Steam version of Typing of The Dead: Overkill. Pretty cool!
Haha, I wanna see Joe *actually* get mad and frustrated while playing a game.

Motorstorm was a system seller for me xD It's sad they have killed off the franchise.
It's a shame that Joe didn't play the sequel because Motorstorm Pacific Rift was one of my favourites on the console for sure. I liked Apocalypse as well but not as much as Pacific Rift. Sadly I think Evolution have been shut down now so I doubt we'll see another entry.
Try blur and split/second also, they rule.
@@Haaambuurger the PSP spinoff was great too. Actually it made me want to try the PS3 ones.
HDMI out = not retro (great vid as always)
That's a bizarre measuring stick you have there.
HDMI in = retro
@@GameSack So my wife tells me
Dare I say the last great PlayStation? True Sony legacy. Revolutionary at the time, epic and still relevant. Hope Sony wises up on marketing and keeps the digital store open for all eternity, so amazing games like the PS3 Mickey Mouse: Castle of Illusion keep being accessible to new generations of gamers
The PS4 was a great console, better than the PS3 in my opinion, but the selection of titles was much, much smaller and less interesting overall. Aside from Bloodborne, the PT demo, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake, there was nothing else on the console that I personally felt like was both an exclusive and worth playing. Any multi-platform release from this gen was better either on PC or Switch.
@@parissmith5727 I enjoy a well made game that I can dive into with a great plot and gameplay to match and on PS4 it was Horizon Zero Dawn, for me it defined it
The PS3 didn't have the same personality as the PS1, PS2, or the PS4 for me. That whole generation felt really lacking in creativity and variety I think and I was glad to see it finally end. It was definitely a low point when it came to my interest in games and was the PlayStation console I picked up the fewest games for. The library on the PS4 was a lot more interesting thankfully.
Totally agreed, it was basically the "Casual Generation". The Wii was trying to get casual grandparents to play and the PS3/360 were trying to get casual brodudes to play, with actual gamers sort of being left in the dust for the most part.
@@Jordan3DS I think you explained it perfectly. There were some gems but truly special games felt few and far between for me.
Completely disagree with that, the PS4 gen felt like a far more uninspired and lacking gen for a long time, nearly all the big Sony exclusives were third person cinematic/open world games for almost all the consoles life cycle until like 2020 with Dreams and Persona 5 Royal (even Persona 5 is a PS3 game as well). Of course PS3 had many third person cinematic games too but it had games like LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm 1 and Pacific Rift, Warhawk, Resistance, Killzone 2 and Demon's Souls fairly early on in it's life cycle whereas PS4 just didn't have that (apart from Bloodborne), no first person shooters that were great, no high class racing games, no real online exclusive. I'm not talking about indie games here though, they've gone from strength to strength but the triple A library was disappointing.
There was also a massive lack of real high quality new IPs and creativity compared to the previous gen, in the PS3 gen we had Bioshock, Portal, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, Dead Space, Mass Effect, Crysis, Saints Row, Skate, LittleBigPlanet, Dragon Age, Batman Arkham, Borderlands, Souls games, Bayonetta, L.A. Noire, Dishonored, Minecraft, Last of Us. That is simply way better than what we got last gen. Part of looking back at every gen is to see what new great franchises and IPs came out of the generation and the PS4 was very lacklustre in the amount of big new, top class ones. The PS4 gen was also the nadir (well so far anyway) of things like live service games, loot boxes and microtransactions the latter two of which I just absolutely hate.
@@ashleythomas4112 Let's be honest, PlayStation has never been about the Sony first party games in the first place (unlike Nintendo), it's always been the third party games that keep them alive. Most of the games you listed were either shooters, racing games, or games with no color in them, which was a massive issues with the PS3 generation that crippled the industry for a while. Saying that the PS4 doesn't have high quality shooters or online games doesn't really matter, because those are the lowest common denominator when it comes to games anyways. I enjoy the rare shooter like Doom or Half Life, but I'd never pick a shooter over, say, an RPG, or a platformer. PS4 has simply had much more variety when it comes to games. You've got Bloodstained, Danganronpa V3, Dragon Quest XI, all of the Yakuza games, Shenmue III, the Trials of Mana remake, Ys VIII and IX, the new World Ends With You game, etc. etc. Contrast that with the PS3, where EVERYTHING was a sports/shooter/racer mixed with browns and greys.
In terms of those new PS3 franchises, while stuff like Bioshock and Bayonetta are great, the rest you listed range from bad to okay, with a few goods like Minecraft. I think based around the games you listed that you're into casual games a lot more, and since the PS3 generation was entirely focused around casual games you preferred it. I don't mean that in a derogatory sense, there's nothing wrong with liking casual games, but I just think it explains our differing mindsets here.
Let's not forget that the PS3 was the advent of predatory DLC practices, with a lot of it being on-disc DLC developed before the game was even done.
Overall, I know there's still a ton of casual games on the PS4 (like all of the open world games you mentioned) that are mostly made by western triple A developers, but creativity and variety have been on a steady increase. It's nowhere near SNES/PS1/PS2 levels, but it's still an improvement, at least.
@@Jordan3DS YSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!! Yeah no Ys on PS3 is a major letdown...but I have at least 1 name for the PS3 that is a real diamond... NI NO KUNI 1 !
I sure miss Uncharted era of Naughty Dog and PlayStation, before everything became open world and "mature"
Uncharted is exactly one of those "mature" PlayStation exclusives though.
@@bwoeYT I meant it more in a depressing way ala Last of Us & God of War reboot
Joe, that install-upon-booting thing with Heavenly Sword confuses me. I just recently played that game for the first time on my Super Slim model, and that never once happened to me after the initial install with the update patch. I have no idea what that's about.
In any case, I'd recommend the last of the Motorstorm games, Motorstorm Apocalypse, if you want a good version of that title, since I think that series got better with each installment.
Apart from that, I would have mentioned Drakengard 3, the Ratchet and Clank titles, Infamous 1 and 2, Trinity: Souls of Zill'Oll (an interesting, flawed gem of an action game), Ni no Kuni, the "Tales of" titles, and the PS3 port of Eternal Sonata, but the last few ones of those are RPGs, so I understand how those could be too time consuming.
All of your recommendations are great. And I'm going to put another heavy recommendation for Motorstorm Apocalypse. While it has some dudebro, "Xtreme" sports in the presentation. The actual racing is soo much fun. The game was unfortunately released right after the Fukashima stuff in Japan so Sony didn't really advertise it since the game features disasters and they felt it was in bad taste at that time. But during the races, the tracks morph between laps as planes crash, huge waves flood areas, and buildings collapse. It's one of, if not the best arcade racer on the PS3.
@@SScorpio0 I'm surprised you guys don't recommend Pacific Rift, I always felt it was the best entry
3D Dot Game heroes actually came out a few months after Minecraft first became available in 2009, but it was early in development.
"PS3 is retro now!"
I hate it when I'm reminded of my mortality.
It's not!
@@badazzboxer The NES was absolutely "retro" when it was the same age (about 20 years ago), but people are more reluctant now to call games "retro" so soon.
Is it because we're getting older, and 15-20 years seems a lot shorter than it used to?
Or because technology doesn't deliver the same leaps as before? (Consider how Crysis is still so modern after 14 years... the same age that Star Fox on SNES was when Crysis came out.)
It's weird to think that the original Xbox and the PS3 are as old now as the Magnavox Odyssey and Atari 2600 were, respectively, back in the early '90s.
Or that a good PC from 10-15 years ago is still usable today, when the equivalent in 2000 would be an impossibly archaic relic from the '80s, with just 1 MB of RAM, and no hope of running a current OS.
@@3dmarth Retro: imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past.
@@badazzboxer Hah, I was thinking about that distinction earlier: Are old things actually retro, or only new things that mimic old things (e.g., a lot of indie games)?
A lot of people use "retro" to just mean "old/vintage", however, and looking now, the dictionary definitions do seem to allow for it, even if it's not the primary idea behind the word.
(The mention of "recent past" in that definition is interesting. I guess that's to clarify that the style of the 1970s is retro, but the style of the actual 70s is not!)
I'm over Dave already hahah
Britney Spears Dance Beat FTW 😀
Oh look it's the basement leak guy.
the ps3 is already considered retro? man, stop making me feel old :(
More time has passed between PS3 and PS5 than between Sega Genesis and Sega Dreamcast.
Still to this day play Fight Night, Call of Juarez bound in blood and Blur. Blur is still online! When will we get a new Blur game? And by the way GAMECRAP...Dark Souls 1 is ten times better then Demon Souls. So do yourself a favour and play the game! It's without a doubt the best Souls game ever made.
poop
Yes, Blur is the shit. Get it guys!
The playstation 3 is where I started collecting video games. Yep I've been collecting since 2006.
3D Dot Game Heroes and Puppeteer are probably my favorite PS3 games that remain exclusive to the system. So many others have been remastered on PS4.
Last of us 1 was so great back then, Last of Us 2 is absolute TRASH., Drukmann killed Naughty Dog
