this generation was when gaming peaked. online console gaming finally found its footing, developers and publishers still cared about making great games, graphics were getting to a very impressive point, and so many incredible games were being released. with how many greedy corporate heads are coming into the gaming industry because of the "incredible monetization opportunities" we will never see another great generation of gaming again.
Yes. Make something cool and unique! But instead they make money by doing nothing new. Same thing, different year. I want games that explore new ideas and focus on being fun, not just micro transactions and loot boxes. Bring the soul back to gaming! Which is why I mostly play indie anymore.
Gaming peaked 98-00 on PC and that's a fact.
Agree. Couple of months ago I started collecting indie titles made by smaller companies like Blue Fire, Death's Door, Turnip Boy, Elliot Quest, Kena and a couple others. Been having a blast playing those titles compared to more popular AAA games. I noticed the indie scene has been gaining traction about the last 5 to 6 years, definitely something to support imo. Hurt those corporations right where it hurts, in their wallets. Speak with your money. 😎
and also something very important, there were tons of games we would consider crappy but nowadays they dont do it anymore like wolverine origins, iron man games, pussyboots, tenchu z, soldier of fortune payback, stranglehold, wet, shadow of the damned....
It was a time before smart phones and we were just starting the zombie craze. The nostalgia hurts real bad
MW2, BO1, MW3 those were the days!
Halo 3, Reach and GOW.. nothing can match. Way better than call of dokie.
@@kelvin303way to be argumentative for no reason. if someone enjoyed something, then they enjoyed it. no need to try and discount their enjoyment.
@@kelvin303Call of Duty used to actually be very good. Halo was good too. I also really liked Gears of War. Not sure why you're coming in with such negativity.
@@kelvin303halo 3 was a master peace but halo reach was a step back. Hot take I know.
@@MeowStationOrignalthe only thing Reach had over Halo 3 was its story
That OG 360 still looks 🔥
xbox 360 slim looks fire as well
Here for _Xbox 360 E_ love
Even with the ps3s horrendous game ports, the PS3 had hugely untapped potential and proof of this was with Sony exclusives
which game ports were horrendous?
@@joker18524Fallout 3 was buggy/unplayable, GTA 4 was lower resolution and a bit worse FPS compared to Xbox, Skyrim was also a mess I believe. There's probably more out there
@@joker18524 a majority of multiplatfroms games released for consoles, for example, Bayonetta , payday 2' Call of Duty 3 and many many more
@@joker18524 Most multi-platform titles looked and ran worse on PS3, due to the PS3 being infamously difficult to program for, meaning developers had a very tough time taking advantage of the PS3's potential.
You sleepin on the Wii.. Wii sports, resort, mario galaxy, etc..
I never had a ps3 but I played 360 games for several years until I started pc gaming in 2015/2016. Definitely the best generation.
Xbox 360 had a lot of exclusives/timed exclusives back then. Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Ace Combat 6, Beautiful Katamari, Magna Carta 2, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery, Mass Effect, Chrome Hounds, Ninja Blade, Ninja Gaiden 2.
We’ve highlighted how good the PS3 is, I took this video to pump up how aggressive Xbox went on exclusives back then. The last great generation when practically every console was really strong.
But for me, it was Xbox 360 as I missed most out on most of the PS3 games. I’m now playing catch up and it is imo equally impressive.
I need that Ninja Blade. I've been eyeing one up on eBay lol
I have a beautiful sealed copy 👌🏻
Ninja gaiden 2 on 360 was the best hack n slash.
@@martin96991played and beat that game probably around 5 times. Best ninja game I've ever played!!
I agree that most 360 exclusives were great like Gears of War, Lost Odyssey, Fable 2, Dead Rising 1...but the ps3 exclusives were awesome as well, Infamous 1 & 2, Jak & Daxter Tools/Clank/Nexus, God of War 3, the entire Uncharted trilogy, and definitely The Last of Us.
Perfectly made video. Thank you for the nostalgia, brother!
I'm playing all the old school CoDs at the moment on PS3. It's so much fun!!!
I Play Ratchet and Clank in 720p60 onPS3 on my 42 inch Panasonic Plasma 720p TV now, it Looks and plays shockingly good.
I just miss sitting in a random CoD lobby back in 2007 and just talking mad shit with other players in a free, uncensored, unmonitored lobby. You’d hear some of the CRAZIEST shit in them lobbies. Fuckin epic. I wish I could go back and find them old messages I used to get from random mother fuckers. Absolutely legendary era man.
The new matchmaking setups really did get rid of the sense of community and shit talking that made online play fun back in the day!
I am hyper excited to play some games on the PS3 I either never finished, or never got to play. My physical media collection for PS3 is now officially standing at 213 games. The highlights of what I am looking forward to is: Kane and Lynch Dog Days, All the Ratchet and Clanks, Yakuza 3 and 4, all the Uncharted games, Sly Cooper HD Trilogy, Sleeping Dogs, RDR Undead Nightmare, GTA Episodes from Liberty City, God of War colelction, all the Dead Space games, Bioshock Infinite, and Assassins Creed Blag Flag. Just to name a few.
Damn, your gonna have a blast
@@tomdaneils1109 But the "What do I play next" paralyzes is a real thing when standing in front of the collection.
The magical Basement Gamer and this new video😃Glad to see this comparison in 2024, with an different point of view🙂
Still like the PS2 more, but the PS3 is a very close second. Great video man!!!
Me too but PS3 was the best online era
Get the backwards compatible ps3 u get to play ps1,ps2,ps3 games
thank you sir
@@LillyplayzOfficial Well yeah, good point.
@@LillyplayzOfficialsadly with PS3 there was a handful of PS2 games that wouldn’t run properly
Lol these videos are gold man. Definitely keep it up
The OG, fully backward compatible model of the PS3 was a dream. Three generations of PlayStation gaming in one console. Too bad those models have so many issues.
Tbh this was the only console war between Microsoft and Sony where both consoles were just amazing and on the same level
The Xbox 360 was probably the greatest console ever and ps3 still outsold it. Xbox 360 was way better but there’s just some parts of the world it don’t matter people will just pick PlayStation especially in Japan
@@brandonneumann5294 yea that’s the thing PlayStation will always be more global and the Xbox is a us console but I gotta disagree I think the 360 is the second best console ever behind the ps2
@@pureakkuracy7510 sorry if I’m picking between a 360 and a ps2 there’s no debate. 360 revolutionized gaming and the 360 dashboard is iconic.
@@brandonneumann5294 the ps2 library is unmatched tho there’s unlimited amount of great games to play in every single genre
Xbox 360, PS2, & some of nintendo.. are the greatest consoles ever.
This was the last great generation in gaming
True
I remember coming very late to the party with PS3. Around 2012-ish. The first physical disk I bought was from a seller on a classifieds website...it was COD Black Ops 2. Stuck that baby in the PS3, got a headset hooked up, and to this day I have no idea where 6 months of my life went. Servers were full. Player leveling was awesome. Lootboxes were not a real thing...yet. Just pure unadulterated fun...even for a 36-year-old like me at the time.
I also jumped into the PS3 very late as well. I didn't get one until early 2014, and one of the first games I got for it was Modern Warfare 2, which was the first time I played online multiplayer and finally saw its appeal.
COD WAW was my favorite back then, such fun maps. Played it on both PS3 and 360.
I spent literally hours playing Collin McCreary's DIRT 2 on PS3. It's one of the most fun racing games I have ever played next to the old NFS games on PS2. And for a game that came out in 2009, it still looks incredible. PS3 & XBOX 360 was a perfect balance between graphics and gameplay. PS3 is the best console for single player experiences. While XBOX 360 was best for it's online experience due to popularity of games like Halo & COD for example. Both consoles have their strengths and weaknesses. But both consoles are awesome in their own unique way.
I miss these days man…. When CZcams first started getting big. I used to lookup graphic comparisons. Just like everybody else. & etc. miss these days man fr
Nice video tip 😊
I still love my ps3 still play it
I have my PS2 hooked up the the TV in our bedroom (so the kids can play games there while mommy dearest has her church meetings once a week and the kids need to be scarce). On the main TV in the lounge, I have the PS3, PS4, and Wii hooked up on the 3 HDMIs at the back of the TV. There's never a shortage of what to play and what to play it on.
PS3 is better coming from someone who had a 360 first and got into the PS3 market very late (December 2015). Downloading stuff on the 360 nowadays is painful as it keeps glitching out when I want to view my purchase history.
I definitely prefer PS3 these days as well
Downloading stuff was always the worst thing on PS3, the speeds were abysmal. I still remember when i had to install every GT5 update and DLC, took me over a week on a high speed cable network. The 360 might be a glitch mess today because Microsoft basically killed most servers already but a modded 360 blazes through the download speeds of the PS3.
Totally agree… Best Generation Ever. Happy Gaming Everyone 😎.
a week ago i brought my Xbox 360 E (my third Xbox 360 console after fat and slim versions) from attic and boosting some achievements. feel happy and love the feel 360 controller very much.
im recomending u to try Getaway and Getaway black monday games on playstation 2 those games are inspired by gta series but they are set in London those games are so amazing and has such unique mechanics and details
I went to my local GameStop and they had PS3 games for 2$ came back couple weeks later and they change they price to basically new Gen retail prices … there catching up
true video! I 100% agree with your statements.
The 360/PS3 generation was a fantastic followup to the Xbox OG and PS2 because Playstation actually had to complete with Xbox AND Nintendo to get positive feedback from the gaming media.
Today Playstation has cancelled games, closed studios, releases hardware that was never in demand and releases ont note games! They still get overwhelming praise for doing horribly. Xbox has actually introduced services and has made phenomenal strides to get more people interested in console gaming.
Back in 2005, this would not stand!
This was like peak gaming. Ps3, played ps2 and ps1 on the fat model. Wht an amazing piece of hardware
The 20gb models were only released in Japan and america, with model cech b01/00 and didnt even have wifi built in, but original ps2 hardware for backward compatibility. One of the rarest ps3 consoles around today even tho it hadnt much specs
This generation is so nice to look back on, no stupid Pro upgrades, more interesting hardware, better games, better stories and overall a far cry from console gaming and gaming as a whole today.
When it existed to have a fun time. Not milk us like cows for every penny. When you bought a game and it just worked. No downloads, no micro transactions, no day 1 patches. Games were mostly polished and ran great. I wish we could go back to that model. I don't care at all for 4K 120fps and 250gb games. I want fun! Focus on fun first, then make it look good. But now it's all just pushing numbers.
Hell, I didn't even own a TV with HDMI ports till 2008. I bought a 52" DLP specifically for the release of MGS4. Up to that point, I still used a 27" CRT, and, with the exception of a small handful, most of the people I knew also still used CRT's.
Please don't leave the Wii out for too long either! so much to experience there! love your vids mate
Factz very underrated console.. took the most risk but had the local support on lock. Wii sports, Resort, mario kart
My OG PS3 got the YLOD back in 2009, but the PS3 Slim I bought to replace it is holding up fine to this day. I didn't get the X360 until around 2013 (when the urge to play Alan Wake became too strong to ignore) and it's also working fine today. I still have plenty of games for these machines in my backlog, but if a 360 game is compatible with Xbone, I'll usually play it there instead. Just played Far Cry 2 that way and it worked great. Love that game, by the way. Most people don't. It almost felt as fresh and fun as it did back in 2008 when I played it on PS3. Currently playing Enemy Front on the 360. Not a great game. Probably won't finish it. 😄
Thats exactly what i do i have both of them and they're like mint but have faulty problems but they look good in the collection
Still rockin my ps3 collection!
I had both, PS3 mainly for JRPGs, & 360 I played a lot Multiplayer.
But nothing beats the Wii. 😎
Gaming to me has no felt nearly as good since then. God damn the hours upon hours I've spent playing Halo 3, Cod 4, Black Ops, Mw2. Truly the golden age of online gaming!!!
ahh I wish I could go back in time and play with my friends the gorgeous Halo 3 on a splitted screen like we used to :D
Those memories make me want to buy xbox 360 again
Wow, he even has the chrome edition PS3. Idk if he knows this but that console has reverse compatibility with PS2 games meaning you can play ps2 games on it.
How old is this cool guy
I play my PS3 the most outside of my switch.. With the added 1TB hard drive and great library it honestly is hard to beat
I felt the same way with ps2 it’s called nostalgia. Perspective is key. I remember all the great times but let’s not forget that micro transactions started on the ps3/360 gen also it’s where we saw release broken patch later
I'm still playing my PS3 online. Battle field 3and 4 is still great online
The launch PS3 most likely came with a composite video cable because HDMI wasn't yet widely used in 2006, and HDMI cables at the time were extremely expensive.
Aaaah...the 7th gen. In my opinion, the all around best gen too! Some would argue the 6th is. And I totally get that. 6th was/is amazing too! But the 7th is just the sweet spot for me, personally in gaming. Still play my systems from the NES days to current gen. But play my 7th gen systems (360, PS3 and Wii) the most.
"I asked my mom if I can rake the leaves in January"
😂 Anything trying to save up that allowance
I’ve never been so early to anything ever!
I can remember buying a ps3 on release date here in the uk for £500 getting home and being annoyed I had to go back to the store to get a HDMI cable,really wish I kept that system,bought another a few month ago but unfortunately it has the dreaded YLOD 😞
360 had some good exclusives back then -
Gears series, halo reach, left 4 dead , ninja gaiden 2, gta 4, dead rising, svr 2007 and much more. Also don't forget that 90% of the third party games looked better on xbox 360 comparatively.
I remember going to circuit city to buy an xbox 360 just to play mass effect.
I agree this generation wtih the xbox 360 and ps3 is the second golden age of gaming, they still cared about the artform without selling games with spending all their money on marketing and transactions and what not.
I traded in my paperweight series S for a backwards compatible PS3 a few weeks ago and it was one of the best decisions i’ve ever made
Backward compatible PS3, i hope you don't mean the first gen "fat" PS3 (the model in this video) Those things are ticking time bombs, getting ready for the yellow light of death.
Decades from now, I'm gonna be smoking a cigar, telling my grandkids how I played Halo 3 and MW2 during the Great Recession.
Wii was quite fun as well
The generation that bridges the gap with PC. I was watching this and thinking back to how boring I thought the PS3 generation was and how few games I purchased. That's because I was buying all the multiplatform games on PC. For console gamers I imagine that was a pretty awesome time. You guys missed so many great years of player mods.
Ps3 era (and ps2 tbh) were just simpler and better, no micro transactions, short download times, simple menu, devs who cares about games being good.
Agreed. The ultimate era. The XBOX 360 was amazing but my favoured console was the PS3 Phat. Although I still have and use my original 360, sadly, my PS3 died; ironic given the 360's reputation. Back in these good old days, the designers did most of the play testing rather than leaving that to the paying public but best of all, the thing that tugs on my nostalgia gene is the instruction manuals. Oh how I miss them.
The rarest PS3 games I see in stores are never over £50. Most games are around £4 each at the moment. I'm taking advantage of this and playing everything I never got to play back in the day.
You played Ghostbusters yet?
My favorite gaming generation ! 🔥
I wonder how his experience with the wii and wii u would be.
Max Payne 3 was my fav game, still is, I wonder why we never getting Max payne 4 :*(
Dude love that game ....I need a remaster lol
This was peak gaming. I still go back to my 360 and ps3 over my ps4 and ps5
PS3 was awesome espcially the early model with PHYSICAL PS2 hardware in em.. The games etc.. I love the switch however. But my Fav system of all time is the nintendo DSI
This is all I play along with ps2. Games then were just fun. They ain’t now for multiple reasons.
PS3 and I don’t know why it was so overlooked
I have both systems and I have to say I love them both even more than the newer systems I play them more thann the new systems to be honest I have so many games I've been collecting for them. I love this generation and wish it was still King. still is the best generation in my eyes. But I first got the Xbox of course. And I only dreamed about getting the PlayStation 3. See when we bought the Xbox we were like okay this is awesome but when that PlayStation drops everything's going to look so much better run so much better because it's more expensive and came out a year later right. Everyone thought that was the premium console. But the funny thing is after it came out and game started coming out for it. Games actually ran and looked way better on the Xbox. And it took away a lot of that feeling after some time knowing that the PlayStation 3 really wasn't that much more powerful than the Xbox 360 and actually the Xbox 360 version of the games ran looked way better. Towards the end PlayStation developers really started taking advantage of the cell processor and started making some amazing games. Comparable on the same level as the Xbox 360.I wouldn't say it surpassed it so honestly the best console for me is the Xbox 360. And I wanted the PlayStation 3 to be the better console I thought it was when I bought it at the time it felt like I upgraded but in all honesty I didn't. But you don't want to tell yourself that at the time but looking back at hindsight the Xbox is definitely better game wise anyways. Just the way the graphics looked and the color to it if you put the same game in side-by-side on each console with the same TV you'll notice the Xbox 360 version looks so much better so much more colorful the PlayStation 3 just has this really dull look to it like almost like black and white it really tones down the colors. Kind of like looking at a LCD and OLED panel big difference.
A fantastic era of gaming.
Bro If you would've released this video a week ago then i would have bought a ps3 instead of the xbox 360 orginal now i am freaking scared that it would have a red ring of death
PS3 I slept on, so many awesome JRPGs
The 360 generation was so good love it my personal favorite
5th generation is the greatest as they changed the game from 2D to 3D games.
How much did you pay for that sweet ps3 man? I am looking to buy one
Basement gamer you better be behaving down there in that basement 😠
Ps3 should of had Outlast and Dying Light
Would love to hear your thoughts on
PS4 - ps4 pro and
Ps5 - ps5 pro coming out
I have a PS4 im still buying PS2 ,PS1 games
Whe the PS3 goes away. I’m gonna be sad. Because it’s still active right now.
I thought the launch ps3 was ugly. I like the way the ps3 slim looks. I had a 360. I really like the way the 360 model s looks
I miss this gen of games. I originally had a PS2. Then my parents got us a 360. It was awesome! I loved playing it and all the games! It was always a blast! I kinda remember the whole PS3 vs 360 thing and it still is stupid lol. I need to get back onto my 360. I never had a bad time with that console. Newer consoles have mostly lost me. I don't like the Xbox One or PS4/5. It feels so lifeless and corporate. They really figured out how to suck the soul of the system to make more money. And it's a shame.
PS3 is hard to develop for yet they still could make games on it every 2 or 3 years now consoles are more streamline than ever and are easy to develop for but take 3 times as long, make it make sense
played my ps3 today.
i have both modded. pretty sweet!!!
I have PS3 modded,.would be cool to get 360 modded!
@LiamW22 pretty cool huh? i modded my own consoles. the 360 is a little difficult but well worth it!!!
@@marcodelao9148 I have a 360 slim, it's involved soldering I think? Would be cool to suss out. I've only changed the thermal paste in mine
@LiamW22 its up to 16 solder points, and one of them is barely larger than a small needle point. tools required. there are some places you can ship to, and they mod your console.
I still own a 360 (Elite I think it was called), it looks ok not more. Also feels very big and clumsy.
On the other hand, I like the look of PS3 small.
Peak console gen
They're affordable and they're 100% worth playing still
The 7th gen was good, very good (Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii) but the 6th gen was far, far, far better (Dreamcast, PS2, GameCube and Xbox)
I'm playing the Xbox 360 right now I'm playing Halo 4 then I'm going to play quake 4 a little bit of Doom 3 Doom 2 and do one then turn on the PlayStation 3 play a little bit of nukem forever call of duty and GTA v which I wish I had that on the Xbox instead of the PlayStation it would look better but I have the PS3 version
PS3 is truly the greatest for all the tech it introduced. 3D gaming on the PS3 is probably the most underrated best technology ever created in gaming. I get why it failed l, however I play on a 175” 3D projector and all the 3D PS3 games are so immersive that even games today just can’t compete with it. Uncharted 3 in 3D…. 🤤…. Here’s more that are really good in 3D…
Puppeteer
Crysis 1-2-3
Arkham Asylum, And City
Rachet and Clank All4One, collection
Sly Legacy of Thieves + collection

So all these are playable on sony`s 3D tvs that you need 3D glasses for playing?
@@trinitymatrix9719you can use any 3D TV or 3D projector.
Going back to some of the ps3 catalog showed me that this generation whas the WORST in terms of performance, but by god it had absolute BANGER games. Shame Sony didnt do a backcompatibility thing like the xbox one with the ps4
I wish I could play my PS3 games but none of the 5 controllers work, they are either incompatible for the specific game, desync after 2 minutes or don’t have the necessary gyro controls.
I cannot wait for MGS4 to come to Xbox so I can play with a reliable controller!
The best part about that generation is, there were great exclusive games across all the platform. It was one of those generation that was so evenly matched in terms of exclusive games. Ever since Microsoft shifted it's focus to Kinect, they completely lost the track of what originally worked for them. Console wars are bullsh*t, but you need to provide a solid incentive for me to choose your system over the other. Xbox lacks exclusivity not only in terms of quality but interms of feature availability. A PC owner has no reason to buy Xbox these days, which was not the case in that 360/PS3 generation.
Shoulda went with sony...wouldnt have red ringed after i sold it..went through 4 of em. Ps3 is the only generation i skipped cause it was too expensive. Had a PSP and when i found out my friends ps3 could remote play off it was like fin awesome tech at the time. ❤ (besides..i could play a full edition of Midnight Club Dub Edition Remix and GTA)you could and i did get an awesome experience out of the 360 but i would have went back in time and listened to all those who said the graphics were positively better on the ps3 and the exclusives are way more appealing to me now. Im a 80s babie btw. js. I had ps1 in high school, a ps5 now ..skipping the ps5 pro and definitely going for ps6..as long as they keep vr and help make awesome exclusives..im cool.
Would you like to buy a used PS4 with some games?
I have a question and I'm hoping you can help me out I want to buy a PS3 but can you still play online with it
Yes, for free as well, just as long as either the official servers for your game of choice are up or there's an unofficial one you must adjust MTU to join. In both cases, you also need other players joined online of course. Battlefield, Call of Duty & Fat Princess are a few examples of games I've tried you can just join and find people on.
Ps for the unofficial servers that are still up you'll have to do research online on places like Reddit. Peace!
Are you purposely showing off your hands like that or you always did that since a kid ?

There is fun to be had with these consoles, but I think there were a lot of problems with this generation that started the downfall of traditional video gaming in my opinion. Day 1 patches, stupid DLC, paid subscription services, DRM software (on pc) and annoying online accounts all becoming the new standard. Increased levels of corporate greed in general increased overall suckage. I find it hard to be nostalgic about a generation with all those problems being introduced. Though, I see how it is probably easier to go back to this generation with the state games are currently in - an utter dumpster fire of epic proportions.
