- These PS3 games are still great after all these years! Which ones do you still go back and play on the PlayStation 3 all these years later? Which ones did I miss?

I would definitely like to see a sequel to this video.
Duh
yeah love these types of videos, need buncha boonches of sequels :)
That generation of gaming (7th) still feels pretty fresh to me. And that says a lot about how advanced those machines were (PS360) when they launched. I still play PS3 all the time.
is PS3 retro?
@@nemis123 imo, absolutley not. That's what I'm saying. I'm playing Peace Walker (PS3) as I type this reply :)
@@nemis123 anything over 20 years is considered vintage or retro
Kill zone 2 is still incredible I still play ps3
@@nemis123 ps3 psn id? guys?
I love the PS3. Still use mine quite a bit. It had a slow start at launch but aged like fine wine towards the end of its console lifecycle.
If the the PS3 had a slow start. I don't want to know how the PS5 would be described. Non-start?
@@bwgti I have a ps4 pro & I've seen no compelling reason to upgrade thus far..
@@bwgti same shit a lot of cross-gen games also the PS5 stock issues so
PS5 is gonna be mature next year because most of them is gonna be next gen exclusive games
@@bwgti For real, i can't even walk into a Walmart, best buy or Target to get one. I'm not gonna go on some lottery raffle online to get one, they should be working to get MY money not the other way around
@@bwgti consoles are generally compared to their competition in the same gen rather than their successors/predecessors. I agree that the PS5 hasn’t done much so far, but conversely the Xbox Series X/S hasn’t done much to take advantage of that.
No joke on those MGS4 cutscenes. I was prepared for the ending which by itself is a movie, like an hour and a half! Knowing that I had food on standby. I quite literally finished the game, paused the ending as soon as the cutscene started, made my food, and then came back to watch the ending play out while having dinner.
Lol Mr. Mario, that's great !😂
That's fantastic! I remember sitting through all of those cutscenes as well. Such a great game. Nobody will forget the cigarette smoking cutscenes that would play while the game had to install the next chapter.
You always find/know of such cool games!!
And you as well! Have a great weekend Irene 🤘
My friends always make fun of me... "Who plays PS3 games at this point?"
Well, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who keeps her old console plugged and active.
Those with good taste, that’s who
You need new friends 😂 jk
I've kept every system I ever got... My daughters love going through the collection like a time capsule... My 15 year old LOVES PS3...
i still play ps2 and ps3 lol!
I love my PS3!
It has been standing next to my PS4 since release and is used almost regularly.
She has so many good games.
I still own over 60 titles
I'm currently playing red dead redemption again.
Same here…
Mine is standing onto my PS4 and I would never swap them both ;-)
I still have my xbox360 and love that genetation games but thank god I can play most of them with new generation console too because All Xbox consoles are backward compatible.
Love my PS3's, so much so that after my original 60gb FAT died I then purchased another, plus a slim and super slim as backups! Just recently played and finished Portal 2 for the first time. Wow, what a game! Just shows you don't need the most recent or powerful consoles to have a great gaming experience.
@Randominator is 3 enough though?? 🤔😂
I loved Portal 2 on PS3. It just came out on Switch and I’m playing it again
Same. Just from goodwill finds I own 4 ps3’s and I’ve given a couple away.
@Randominator I don't think anyone else in this thread gets the reference. You're making me feel old!
@@wmichelin93 @randominator haha...I had to look this up. Yeah, I missed this reference. Still funny though 🤣
The PS3 got me back into gaming because I wanted a blu ray player. 😂❤ It’s the last console generation that really fully blew my mind and I LOVE collecting for it. A major nostalgia factor for me MJ. Cool titles!
I have an original PS3 super slim and a CFW PS3 Slim for PS2 games. Love this console.
I have the super slim ps4 byt never had of the second one but my friend in year 9
Told me he had one of those same the ps4 is the best
yes! you get to play PS1 PS2 and PS3 games on this awesome system, its just so good
@@tigrisrgn4062 Okay have not yet played Ps1 yet but played ps2 its was best in my childhood;)
Tornado Outbreak also released on the Wii! A pretty interesting and weird oddity that's worth checking out!
Still play my PS3 all the time and love it! So many great games across all genres. Some of my favorites to play are the FEAR series, Resistance, Killzone, Tales of games, Eternal Sonata… the list could go on for days
another FEAR fan, hell yes. played part 1 on xbox this year again after 10 years pause, still a banger with alma and bullet time
@@thomasebert3072 One of the best FPS games ever made, imo!
Still have launch model hooked up in the living room but have a super slim I play. Most recently I was playing No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, and Driver San Francisco
I love the timing of this video. The last 2 games I’ve played, and rolled credits on, are Max Payne 3 & Uncharted 2. Lives my time with both games, and I can’t wait to start Uncharted 3
good timing! I recently plugged my ps3 in and loving the nostalga. :D Metal jesus definitely inspired me to have a bunch of consoles and games all bouncing around my place :) the passion is beautiful. Keep up the great work! Much love from Ireland!
Thanks so much!
@Marko Polo weird
If they ever remake or remaster Resistance, I will be all over it! Such a fun series!
Yeah was a huge fan
Hell yeahh 😆
Check out rpcs3, 4k 60fps ps3 games with improved textures are becoming a reality!
Good for you for championing "NFS The Run" which is my absolute favorite of the entire series, highly under-rated! "MotorStorm Pacific Rift" is also my favorite of the series, a killer pick!
I played the 3DS version of NfS The Run way back in 2012, but I remember really liking that version! The story is represented by super cool-looking comic book cutscenes and you never have to play any sections outside of the car, but the rest of the gameplay is still intact.
The jump from PS2 to PS3 was a huge leap in 3D performance. Maybe the biggest jump since 3D
It's crazy how I never see this console out in the wild or in used game shops where I live. It's been the most elusive common console for me.
It's because they're all overheated and broken ylod....
@@fwah23 Yep. Mine died of the yellow light probably 4 years after I bought it, lol. Mine was brand new on launch day when the Motorstorm bundle came out. Had to get a slim model in 2011..
find a secondhand website and you will see tons of them.
at least where i am in Europe haha
Tornado outbreak also got released on the wii. The 360 version is the more sought after version at least in Europe/UK. I was fortunate enough to pick up a copy cheap before it blew up in popularity.
Great list, Jason! My PS3 was hooked back up this past February so my best friend and I could play through the Sly Cooper Trilogy on the decent-but-flawed collection. As a result, I decided to start working through the original Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch last month and after 20 hours so far it's been quite a delight. I'd highly recommend, though I think you've already mentioned it in a video before. Cheers, my friend!
I still play my ps3 couple times a week so many great games on it.
I've always wanted a Celtic myth RPG in Ireland and never heard of folklore! Hopefully it gets cheaper on ebay I need to play it :)
“Hidden gem” console exclusives don’t get cheaper. Buy it now before it gets more expensive would be my advice.
It has cooled off a bit since the worst of the pandemic. It was sitting around $80 for awhile but I think it's mid-50s now. Probably won't get any cheaper, though.
Oh yes Folklore is a really amazing hidden gem! ❤And I finally got a hold of two Ratchet & Clank games, Quest for Booty and A Crack in Time to begin with as I never played them when they came out.
I feel like the PS3 is going to stand the test of time in terms of playability. I love mine so much. And there are so many amazing games!! Asura’s Wrath is a personal favorite.
The one that plays ps2 games is so clutch. I’m just trying to get a PS5 so I can have 5 generations of Sony
Both the PS3 and the 360 could’ve continued selling until now??
Whenever they started Adding online features such as Netflix and online play, trophies and leaderboard, they seated the Consouls and history of something that could go on forever.. or at least remain relevant as time went on due to the fact that people still use Netflix today, people still use CZcams, people still surf the Internet and people still play video games!
Imagine if they had it went this route with all different things we’d still be able to walk into a store and probably get a PlayStation three for $99.99 for like a 320GB & say $149.99 for the 500GB ?
I would only think people should get ps2, ps3 and ps5. Why? Ps2 play both ps2 and 1. Ps3 to play ps3. Ps5 to play both ps4 and ps5 games. The fat ps3 is not really reliable because sooner or later, it will die. The slim ps3 is better suited. The ps5 is a better machine to get it possible. Otherwise ps4 is still a good machine play on temporary until the ps5 is available.
@@tr1bes fwiw, ps2s die too ya know, I've had 3 and only one of them works 'functionally' as disc reading is a gamble whether you get an error on the boot screen. with persistance most games still work eventually though..
fat ps3 died around 2012.
my ps4 will eventually die from cmos battery expiry because it's an offline only console and i can't update it XD
ps5 doesn't exist over here and incidentally, I'm banned from psn so it'd probably be an overpriced brick for me anyway if I can't go online
In my experience I think later model ps3s and original ps1s have been the most reliable and lasting over the years
@@RodniDemental my day 1 launched ps2 still function. I have 5 ps2. 2 fat and 3 slim and all function. Ps1 laser lens and disc holder fail. My fat ps3 fail but the slim still function. My launched day 1 ps4 still function. Almost everything have a battery and will need to be replaced and or bypass. It should not stop anyone from playing.
Thank you MJ for still making these wonderful videos even after all this time.
👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you for your wonderful content MJ
Great video! I love my PS3 and my largest physical collection is for that console. Just recently played Folklore and it's not only fun and beautiful to look at, but it also makes great use of the Sixaxis.
Nice little video as always. Still playing a few games on the ps3 discovered here with your hidden gems series on ps3...not in order of preferences but we have pupeteer, the remake of duck tales and of course time crisis razing storm ( TC4 and dead storm pirates bundle) and house of the dead overkill, just to name a few. Keep the good work and cheers from France.
You're the reason I have a ps3 still setup! My partner and I have been going through alllll the best games, well known and hidden gems and having a blast. An awesome console to play with most used games being cheap. Thanks for the awesome content MJR!
Will always and forever love your videos and be a fan. Seattle for Life!!
The PS3 is my favourite PlayStation console even though it's considered the weakest among Sony's console lineup. I have so much love for the PS2 and I think PS3 is an upgrade which catapulted successful titles on the PS4.
I agree, PS3 is probably also my favorite PlayStation console which is saying alot considering how much I love PS1 and 4
I love 7th gen games. I always collected for PS3, but started to collect for Xbox 360 too. I don't even know when I started collecting for PS3. I was just buying games I'd like to play and suddenly I had amassed huge library of games 😳There are so many good games on them.
wow what a list never heard of many of these gems , thx MetalJesus!
Awesome video! Part 2 please!!
I love the ratchet and clank and the infamous series!
And loved playing the ps1 games on the ps3 consoles
@DANIEL LESTER play into the nexus and rift apart. Play 2016 just for the graphics
@DANIEL LESTER that’s why i said play the remaster ONLY for the graphics. The story is shit. Rift apart was actually good tho. Not like the original trilogy but it was good
I love the ps3 era so much. So many great good and underrated games.
MJR I love these “games I still play” videos! Please keep them coming
Always love your videos! Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate that. Have a great weekend 👍
Big PS3 collector here, have over 200 games and keeps growing.
What's your favorite PS3 Games
I'm just short of 200. One of the most enjoyable consoles to collect for, in my opinion.
@@toaster4975 I agree, too many great titles
Split/Second and Puppeteer, 2 very underrated masterpieces!
Great video MJR! I love the Playstation 3, and my PS3 Super Slim always is hooked up to my LG 43' flat screen 4K tv! It's crazy to think about, but honestly I grew with you. I think a lot of PS3 and Xbox 360 games still really hold up today!
Great video. I just bought a PlayStation 3 yesterday. My original one started freezing up many years ago. This is a great list of games to get started with again.
I'm not really much of one to hang on to older stuff and prefer to consume newer titles most of the time, but I have recently recommissioned my PS3.
Embarrassingly, this is mainly because myself and my wife miss guitar hero.
However, I have also been playing Motorstorm a lot, because depsite two new gens, it offers a racing experience of a type that hasn't been matched by other titles. The design of those courses to allow routes for the different classes of vehicles, and the balancing that makes the races feel so close no matter what class you drive, are absolute master classes in design and I cant think of better. it is also an amazing example of AAA design from the opening sequences to the menus and it still looks more polished than the vast majority of games released today.
If I could urge you to play one title on PS3 that you cannot get or experience anywhere else, its Motorstorm.
BTW, I remember folklore - but I didn't until you mentioned it! :)
Completely agree with your thoughts on motorstorm
I am loving these videos, MJR. The GameCube one was a lot of fun as well. I have been looking for a copy of Folklore for a long time at my local store but it is just difficult to come by. I might have to finally cave and buy it online if I don't find it soon! I've been playing Lollipop Chainsaw as well as Killer is Dead on PS3 lately. There are so many titles I missed out on as I was a late adopter to the PS3. I can't wait to continue growing the library!
Folklore is super expensive. PS3 has lots of good rpgs. I still love Ni no Kuni and the tales games on ps3.
@@bluemoonrpg326 you can find Folklore CIB for between $60 and $70 so it could be a lot worse. Ni No Kuni is really good but I haven’t really dug into the Tales games yet. I played a bit of Berseria on PS4 but that’s about it. I’m planning on jumping into Arise before long.
That Tornado game looks awesome. I always find cool new stuff on your channel.
I never heard of the tornado outbreak game I must play it!!! Thanks again MetalJesus. So many videos of yours I find a new old game to play.
I have to say, I picked up NFS The Run after watching one of your videos a few years back and it’s my favourite NFS game now. The quick time parts are annoying but the racing is so good!
Glad to hear it!
are the servers taken down on all platforms?
Man, it's like you're a professional at finding awesome games in niche markets. Been watching for years. Really respect your work Metal Jesus. You rock.
I appreciate that! Thanks so much 😍
I like him ❤
@@MetalJesusRocks ❤❤
Love your channel!
Thank you for your content :)
Awesome video. Got now a few more games to add to my PS3 collection! I play games of that generation on the X360 mostly but some of those exclusives that you showed draw my attention.
I love seeing other gamers giving the PS3 some love. I love going back to old generation consoles and continue to experience lots of still amazing games!
Love PS3, it was the first console I bought after being on PC for most of the 90s and early 2000s. Was never a console guy, but I'm glad this was my entry point. Especially early ps3 was my favorite, in terms of unique interesting experiences. Once the consoles were on par with PCs (just lower res), it just sort of went downhill imo. Early to mid ps3 was a sweet spot and a time when you still saw yearly increases in tech. Nowadays, each year of games is pretty much the same.
Such a great video with good recommendations on games I havent even heard about. I actually just finished fixing my CECH A01 BC ps3 and I am looking to play some ps3 games on it. Cant wait!
ive been playing my ps3 a lot too recently so im excited to see some sick titles i can go for soon, you always have such varied lists theres usually something for just about everyone!
i gotta check out folklore, ive been playing mgs4 and south park stick of truth
Folklore is one of the best games ever, my only issue with the game is the trophies, because they are no trophies on this games ^^ and I would love hunting trophies on this awesome game ^^''''
Thanks for the video, greetings from Belgium.
That might be because they introduced trophies later after the launch of the PS3, I could be wrong but Folklore might have come out before the trophy system even existed
@@THESaSquaSHIsMe Yes that's exactly the case ^^
but MEtal Gear Solid 4 doesn't have trophies until an uptade years later so I would be happy if it's happen for Folklore as well.
Nfs the run was sooo underrated. Kind of a one off for the franchise. With a gimmick that worked. The online was really fun when it had populated lobbies. One of my top 5 nfs games of all time. Which says a lot saying how big and long running the series is. With how generic and boring the other nfs games were that came out around the same time. This one really stood out. Criterion at the time didn’t seem to know how to make a unique nfs game where most wanted 2012 and rivals felt like burnout as a nfs game with nothing new or unique being introduced. The run was a breathe of fresh air for the series
Great vid! Discovered many games!
Loved this video. Glad that you've mentioned Ratchet and Clank ToD, it was my first PS3 game!
Love, love, love the PS3. Can't stress it enough lol, ton of great games on PS3 not as huge a library as PS2 but still great nonetheless. Also, speaking of PS3, is anyone else having issues logging into PSN through the PS3? The only way I can login is through ethernet cable but wi-fi just will not log me in. It's such a weird issue and haven't come across any answers yet. Hope someone can help me.
I agree that NFS The Run is very underrated. It's not a masterpiece by any means but I enjoyed it back in the day. I got a PS3 really cheap a few months ago, so this video came at a great time. I never played Puppeteer when I had a PS3 and it totally looks like my type of game.
puppeteer is really good and afaik from the lbp makers. kind of feels like lbp even better
I love these videos, getting to see what you personally love to just pick up and play is awesome! I'd love to see some portable consoles. I know how much you love the PSP! How is the complete PSP collection coming by the way?
Great video! In the bottom left hand corner at 0:19 seconds, there's a live action trailer. Is that for an Earth Defense Force game? My original PS3 died some years ago, but I have a few backup Slim consoles. When the PS3 came out, it came out near the tail end of high school. I had so much free time back where I could get completely lost in games. I'll never forget being blown away when I saw Metal Gear Solid 4 at E3. At that point, I knew I had to get a PS3. It was also a great Blu-Ray player for it's time. Thanks for the memories!
Honestly one of the games I go back to is Saints Row 2. Personally I prefer that game over GTA 4. It's just more arcadey where 4 went for a more realistic design.
not played 2 played 3 love it and in the middle of iv
I have ps3’s! One in the living connected to an OLED, and one in my retro gaming room/office. The one in the office is jailbroken.
Love the ps3! Such a great generation of games. I really felt even bigger developers were trying new stuff and taking chances on mechanics and gameplay features !
Love the selection
I really love these videos. This guys enjoys his life
Such a shame that the multiplayer for the kill one and the uncharted games went offline. Those were some great online games to play at the time, and I wish there was a way to bring them back.
Modders brought back Killzone 2 online a while back, same with Warhawk. It's not too difficult to get going and you don't need to mod your consoles IIRC.
Companies should allow it more often for folks to locally host.
Whatever happened to the weight loss journey?
Still working out... trying to walk more now that it's nice out. But I'm over 50 now, so it's much harder than when I was younger. But I'm not giving up. 👍
@@MetalJesusRocks that's good to hear! I'm young so I've been enjoying longboarding and skateboarding, maybe look into biking if you haven't already. It's really nice to be one with nature while getting a fun workout 🤙 best of luck to you
Ey Metal Jesus!! I finally got to play Puppeteer last year, of course, 'cause of your rec and OMG!! the game really reminded me why I started playing games!! Loved those plattforms, the humour, the characters, the color palette.... I mean it's such a shame the game went soooo under everyone's radar 'cause honestly it deserved so much better.
Awesome video. Still a ton of great ps3 games that still hold up today. Thanks for the upload.
Glad you enjoyed it
Dude great content as always. Yeah ps3 is sick. Ive been jammin the switch lately but might have to switch it up. Thanks man
What I love about these videos is that everything you highlight goes up 50-75% after you post it. Tha is for making me lots of $$$!
The primary game I still play on PS3 is the 2014 Magic the Gathering game. It's the only game my gf will play with me, and we have a ton of fun playing couch co-op almost every day. It's a great game for anyone into Magic.
It makes me happy to see resistance being covered!
Your PS3 collection is AMAZING!
And u too ❤
Glad you mentioned a Motorstorm game. I still think the original Motorstorm looks amazing. The way the track would get all muddy as you drove thru it and states that way would really impact what path you took the next lap. You didn’t want to take the same path where the mud would bog you down
I remember playing the Folklore demo back in the day and immediately buying a copy, fantastic game.
I played quite a bit of folklore. The tugging on the downed enemy to Rip out its “soul” is pretty cool
I really enjoy your videos. I play the ps3 on a daily basis, infact it is my newest generation system. Watching your Ps3 videos has been a real pleasure and fun, thank you for supporting older systems. Physical ownership may be slowly going away... nice to play a game and not worry if servers are bogged down or whatever. Favorite 5 games now... 5. Mass Effect Trilogy 4. Katamari Forever 3. COD Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition 2. NCAA Football 14. 1. MLB The Show 16. Have a good one Metal Jesus! Rock On!
"It has its own little twist" lol I see what you did there
Love being able to go back at play all my old consoles and games. PS3 had some great ones
Great video! I still play mine from time to time. I’m trying to get caught up on the Assassin‘s Creed games that I never played. I also love Blur, GTA IV, Sonic Genesis Collection, and Red Dead Redemption.
I use the ps3 as a blu-ray player, ...still holds up very well. Favorite games are the tennis games, ...Virtua tennis and Top Spin.
I quit buying new consoles and new console games. I bought a ps3 some time after its launch. The original fat 80GB version. One of my first games was armored core: for answer. It lagged so bad it was unplayable in certain spots of the game. I could not understand how a new game made for that console could lag that badly. For some reason i just lost my enthusiasm to new console stuff. I still have that console and some of my old games like skate and ghostbusters. These videos are making me want to get into some of these "newer" games again. You clearly have lots of passion for all kinds of games. Love the videos MJR!
The only game I kept coming back (until they stopped the server) was Black Ops 2: Multi-player and Zombies! That's where I started my love for CoD, and times spent with friends playing Tranzit, Buried, and Origins... man, so much nostalgia.
Great video, if I had to add anything maybe Heavenly sword, and EX Trooper
That generation of games may be my favorite. In that era you had the Mass Effect, Gears of War and Uncharted Trilogy. You had a TON of game collections on ps3 (not to mention all the great ps3 exclusives towards the end there). And 360's xbox gold with Halo 3? Oh man, so amazing.
Great video! I love Folklore!!
Folklore is so awesome, nice to see it covered here.
Can’t believe I’ve never heard of folklore…def gotta play it! Thanks for showing
Metaljesus I really enjoy your vids keep up the good work. I know you are a pretty huge KISS fan can you reccomend me some songs I wanna really dig in into KISS and albums reccomendations too. Thx a lot❤❤
Dude! I loved the quick time events in NFS The Run! I wish there was more story, cutscenes, and on foot sections in racing games. I loved the Cannonball feel and this game will always have a special place in my heart
When I first got my PS3 there were so many demos to download and Folklore was one on there and never actually bought it until a couple years ago. Total hidden gem!
Hello MJ, greetings from Pakistan
The Killzone series blew my mind ,epic. Love it. Looking forward to my Resistance series play through soon ✌🏻👍🏻
4:06 "has it's own little twist" I see what you did there.
Yes mgs 4 is my favorite! Closure for all the characters, awesome bosses and you even return to the location of the first game.
I just picked up a PS3 on the cheap the other day, definitely a few titles here to check out!
Also good to see NFS The Run get some love, it's one of my favorite Need for Speed games too. Driving from coast to coast gives such amazing variety to the environments.
