It’s funny how universally connected we all seem to be I had the same urge to play this game about two weeks ago and I’ve been on it almost nightly, and I have literally told my fiancé how I have not had this much fun playing video games since I was a teenager. I’m a 33-year-old crusty man now haha
I remember entering a Red Dead Online lobby on PS3 and was suprised how many people still play the game online even to this day. At one point I got a weird glitch where I got a max level and I got a trophy for it. But I remember I still had a lot of fun playing the game online, it just shows that older online games are more fun, because developers always focused on gameplay first, then making the game ultra realistic. Even though I personally prefer single player games, I do miss the old gen online gaming that we used to have.
Blast from the past. I really miss playing uncharted 2 & 3 online. My best memories from playing online on the PS3. I put in so many hours in those games. Also the legendary GTA 4. How can I forget about GTA 4 online. So much more fun than 5.
@@ultimatesharpzgaming3186 no actually finished (no major bugs, good optimisation, we didn’t have to wait 3/4 or 5 updates to have a working game) not like cyberprank, fallout 76, Jedi survivor, Starfield, etc etc…
I believe to play the games online with the fan made servers you don’t need a jailbreak or any CFW, all you have to do is change your DNS in network settings to the private server.
I started playing PlayStation three again about two years ago. Playing games like call of duty there were some people in lobbies but not that many. When I got back into it over the holidays playing call of duty ghosts there are tons of people playing again lobbies are full and I checked the other call of duty games and they are very similar. My understanding is that they are being run by private servers now? But definitely worth playing! I find the graphics are drastically different than the PS4. Great Video and thanks for bringing that to everyone’s attention.
I am playing killzone 2 socom 1-3 and confrontation on my ps2/3 and Warhawk and Star hawk and resident evil ORC we out here having a blast. I been getting back to my ps3 a lot laity bought 12 games for it that I didn’t play in that generation this is the most I had in a long time. I am going back to the old cod now on PS3 hopefully I can get into TH-cam, you make me want to try now to start it just going back to these older generations so much better and fun.
Nothing will ever beat 360 online for me but damn uncharted 2 and 3 online was some of the best multiplayers I played on ps3. I miss it. Happy black ops my favourite cod got tons of players on 360 not long ago and good to see people still play it on ps3.
I still play the ps3. I bought another one 2 years ago since our old one broke 9 years ago. my older brother and I shared accounts so asked my brother if he remembered the email and password and after like an hour was able to sign able to sign in and play again.
Bought a slim at Christmas and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. It’s the happiest I’ve been gaming in over a decade. I’ve hardly used Multiplayer on the last two Gens but I’m playing CoD loads and loving the community. So many great games that have aged well and still look amazing
Just discovered your channel and really enjoying the PS3 content. Would be awesome if you did a video highlighting exclusive games to the PS3 that were never ported or PS3 games that were cross console but stuck on that generation of games.
I read that the servers are still up for Fat Princess. They were up for Operation Racoon City too, at least they were last year when some random person joined my campaign, lol. We were probably equally surprised.
I was lucky enough to play black ops 2 back in the day awesome fun game. Wish I played modern warfare too kinda slapping myself for not buying the game then 😅 “DOH!!”
For anyone wondering, if you made your account after 2017, have changed your name on psn, or have not played call of duty before 2017 on a ps3 then you’re level will reset on bo1 after you exit the game, the same happens for mw2, mw3 will be literally unplayable, it will not let you join a lobby, and bo2 you will have to do a weird thing before playing online
Love black ops, gta 4, and all other classic games. ps3 is the best. ps4 was eh for me but the go controller was the best they ever made. ps5 is just a yawn
Gta4 online is beautiful, running from modders and people with helicopters then seeing what monstrosity in the sky has been assembled at the airport lol
I haven’t stopped playing Ps3.. got a very active discord server full of ps3 members.. you’re talking like you’ve just played a fossil.. it’s VERY much alive & still kicking. Lol.
Bro it is tough signing in I had a ps3 account back in 2014-15 and when I got a 4 I couldn’t sign in to my old account so I made a new one got 5 accidentally signed in to the first account easily second one took a minute
I have a bunch of ps3 games i bought over the last 3 years and it's awesome. Sony needs to put their ps3 online store games on sale again so i can pick up some games.
I still play my PS3 all the time. But, I had no idea that the online was still available. I thought that Sony had shut it down a couple years ago, and I never tried to game online since. Good job, and good video! Just subbed.
COD BO1 is the only one I know that the rank resets. COD BO2 you have to go play a game not signed into PSN, you either have to choose PvP or zombies go play, quit, then while still on the pre lobby sign in to PSN. COD BO3 I only been playing zombies on and they still have a server error when there's to much processing but its playable. COD ghosts is still playable PvP/extinction (aliens). I believe Need for speed rivals is still going. Bullet storm no longer has multiplayer. Mass effect 3 PvP is offline. Destiny 1 is still pretty alive, even been getting new players for the last five years. I believe COD 4 MW, Mw2, Mw3 are still active for PVP also. Activision openly admitted to me they intentionally caused issues with bo1, bo2, bo3, Advanced warfare back in 2017+ when a complaint was filed with them about the issue for a new player on them .
Destiny on here is a great time capsule as it didn't get the Rise of Iron DLC, so it has the meta that was available then, which is neat to go back to. PvZ GW is very populated on PS3 & worth going back to play as well, tons of fun!! And tbh I like the vibe of the setup for showcasing the gameplay instead of direct footage, it adds to that nostalgia factor being able to see the PS3 while it's in front of the PS5
I still play PS3 online regularly. I have a car a house and many 0s in the bank. It not financial. I'm 30 years old... And never wanted to lear new games... Life moved on and I still play the original cod 4 and zombies. I'm no longer a try hard so I don't want to play something newer. When call of duty advanced warfare/stars wars came out I stopped buying the new cods /PS4. Moved on to other games to. When PS3 online stops working I'll buy the newest one out however for now..... I'm happy with the PS3 man. It still works like before. I can have fun without try Harding like 2 decades ago and the graphics in my opinion is not bad for a game. I still play on my account made in 2007. These new games are to complicated and pay to win. I'll stick to this simple games much more fun z I just want to shoot people. Only black ops 1 resets you back to rank 1. Anyway this is why.
It sucks they removed the online portion from the Red Dead 1 PS4 and Switch port recently. I easily sunk hundreds of hours into that mode. That's a lot of value to remove from the game.
All you need is a hdmi splitter and you can record using any capture device. I got a hdmi splitter and some capture card and im able to record. Is it high quality, probably not but it does record and even let me go live on TH-cam with it. Comment back if you want the details of the items.
One reason i still like xbox is the backwards comp, im still playing blackops 2 and red dead redemeption online along with older exlusive like gears 3. I wish i still had my ps3, you know what id do to be able to play old ps exlusive resistance 1-3, starhawk/warhawk,killzone,etc. online? I got emulation on steamdeck but cant play any of the titles online🤣
The cod rank thing happens to me in cod4 but I just close the game and relaunch it and I get my rank back. When you first go online in cod there’s usually a popup where it’s loading some online data, but for whatever reason that doesn’t happen sometimes. I
The other cods from first experience are flooded with hackers, just destroying other players in lobbies, unable to even move an inch. It’s a huge problem, but it’s sometimes a hit or miss. When you do get a hacked lobby, it’s just so bad.
First cod I played was og mw3 I have no nostalgia for the older cod’s and I play bo1/2 multiplayer on ps3 when I wanna play cod there so much better then the new cods it’s not even close.
So about the whole making a new account after 2017 thing, does that effect campaign as well like if I make a good amount of progress and turn off my PlayStation for the night will it save or will I have to restart??
I know you may not read this comment but I know you could get your old PS account back if you had the original system that you made it on. They will ask for the numbers on the bottom of your ps3 and then they will send a reset to your new email of choice. Hopefully you still have the system, it worked for me at least.
Recently downloaded Red Dead 1 for my PS3 a couple weeks ago ( little Christmas gift to myself ) with the DLC and and all the add-ons. I'm 35 and it's a great time, online bustin up bandit camps with others. Stoping those who just want to grief the Free roam lobby, and getting them to help and participate with others... Just an undead indigenous person trying to help the world one bullet at a time 🤣🤣🤣
The PS3 online is basically a time capsule to a better era 😅
Great video man! Keep it up 🙏
Thank you 🤝
fr gta 4 online is so good
How play ps3 / black ops1+2 😢😢
Your right on the online community with Playstation. People there seems more about having fun than being to overly competitive. Thanks for this!

A modder maxed your level out, samething happened to me and it sucked because I wanted to go through the experience of leveling up myself.
I'm playing cod world at war pretty much eveyday still and having a blast! Gotta love the ps3
Legendary
Same! Probably in the lobbies together lol, as see the same names pop up all the time
Isn't the game still modded to shit? If it's not i'll hop on. I still play Black Ops 1 to this day tho.

Always had a ps3. Finally convinced my friend's & now the got PS3s. Catch us on black ops 🤙
Funny you chose these two games because I remember getting both of these games for Christmas back in 2010. Good times.
I believe to play the games online with the fan made servers you don’t need a jailbreak or any CFW, all you have to do is change your DNS in network settings to the private server.
6:40 Resistance and Motorstorm only need a DNS change
No mods required
PS3 for life!!!

I'm going to my parents today actually to retrieve my ps3 and play gta4 online because there's still relevance to this console
Bro pls explain to me can we play online games on ps3 now or not and thank you
@Karimkarim14963 GTA4 you can and most COD games too, RDR I think aswell

PS3 also has a great internet browser. I used to do homework on it 😂😂🤣

Same here
Your videos are really entertaining i dont know why but am here for it and i love it keep it up man 👏 👊🙌 plus i have a modded ps3 i love it

Warhawk was pure awesome back in the day. Its still awesome today thanks to community hosted servers 👍
Resistance and motorstorm also have community hosted servers. No mods needed🖤
I tried launching Warhawk and got an error sadly but I WILL get it working that game was my childhood.
Dude I need to play warhawk again

An HDMI Splitter which has HDCP stripping capabilities does work to capture PS3 footage. I can confirm.

there are alot of games where you can get online with vanilla internet settings and some dead games you can play if you change to certain settings.
Fight Night Champion on ps3 online is still up and running
Don't know if someone commented already but if you use an hdmi splitter it will allow you to capture ps3 footage.
No jailbreak needed just the custom sever if interested check it out

Black Ops I works pretty well online😃Red Dead 1 online too, which surprised me🙂
this guy is going to reach 50 K subscribers in this year I just know it believe me
Keep word at war alive

The other cods from first experience are flooded with hackers, just destroying other players in lobbies, unable to even move an inch. It’s a huge problem, but it’s sometimes a hit or miss. When you do get a hacked lobby, it’s just so bad.
Unless if the host doesn't abuse aimbot and makes the cods fun with mods like giving everyone the menu ranking on mw2 etc
Bo2 is fully filled with this dumbasses hvhing but Activision doesn't care about the ps3 and 360 anymore so don't expect the to fix it
Cod4 waw bo1 mw2 is safe with less hackers but mw2 still requires u to mod u ps3 for ranks with a sprx
Don't expect them to fix it because they don't care abt 360 and ps3 anymore
Hacked lobbies can be fun if the host doesnt do stpuid stuff with the menu
I love the PS3 I just wish the LittleBigPlanet games still had online capabilities
Just finish playing call of duty black ops mp and zombies online
I’m getting a PS3 next week and my cousin gonna get his this week and we can’t way to play BO2 and BO1 again. MW2023 be so frustrating
First cod I played was og mw3 I have no nostalgia for the older cod’s and I play bo1/2 multiplayer on ps3 when I wanna play cod there so much better then the new cods it’s not even close.
Battlefield 4 servers are still active online and always full.
So question. Is he saying that everytime you turn black ops back on you have to unlock the guns all over again everytime?
To record your PS3 games, you also need an HDMI Splitter to Bypass the HDCP Protection.
PS3 is GOATED
i always check split second and fat princess for people to play with :)
I have seen a little bit of a price pump in the Xbox 360 on PlayStation 3 on the main reason is that they could be play completely offline
You can play some games on Private severs like Motorstorm, Killzone 2 and other. No need to jailbreak your console
So about the whole making a new account after 2017 thing, does that effect campaign as well like if I make a good amount of progress and turn off my PlayStation for the night will it save or will I have to restart??
For multiplayer resistance you need to change the dns to something
for the PS3 (if you own an Elgato capture card) you´ll need a Splitter and deactivate the HDCP (if I remember correctly)
Did you know the PS4 VR works for the PS3. If it's modded you can play in semi 3d.
I know you may not read this comment but I know you could get your old PS account back if you had the original system that you made it on. They will ask for the numbers on the bottom of your ps3 and then they will send a reset to your new email of choice. Hopefully you still have the system, it worked for me at least.

whats the best monitor to play ps3 games? i played on tv 1080p but still graphics looks like cartoon
