PS3 Online in 2024: Who's Still Playing and Why?
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 05. 2024
- PlayStation 3 is still going strong in 2024! We had a weird stint where some Ubisoft games came back online officially, but then they went down last month. So that was weird. BUT! We have a ton of Call of Duty games to look at, GTA IV of course, Bioshock 2, Lost Planet, and a ton of new private server games! There's so much development going on, and some of these games are now coming back either feature complete, or even better than they were before. It's a beautiful thing, the love for that PS Triple is strong. And I'm here to deliver it.

Hey everyone! Here’s links for the games that have communities (both official and restored servers)
Metal Gear Online: mgo2pc.com/
Call of Duty 3: discord.gg/sDBfFPBYwA
Far Cry 2, Haze, Splinter Cell, GRID, & More: discord.com/invite/z3Crm9acME
Tomb Raider (2013), Space Marine, CoD Classic, & More: discord.gg/NbCUpq3RAZ
They all run game nights on the weekend typically, and either offer low level lobbies or just generally go easy with new players so that people learn the ropes. Give them a shot if you’re interested. (:

ryan i love this series so much 🤟🏻
I'm on PS3 cause there's no backwards compatibility, if they moved games to PS4/PS5 with multiplayer support i'd go,
i play original demon souls and MGS peacewalker mostly these days
Most Wanted best need for speed back in the PS2 🤩
nice to see the community still active
What phat PlayStation 3 do you use? Is it the same one you drilled holes on the bottom for air? Thank you
who else miss the ps3 days 😢
Me
I miss the PS6 days, they were the best

Not paying for online is a good reason…
paying for online is a scam but fanboys won't admit that unfortunately and call ps3 outdated
@@ross3695_basedhax Y ah that's a big reason I went to PC instead of the newer consoles
@@ross3695_basedhax Exactly and the servers are mostly from sony => Ill pay for a console and games (somy is getting money from any game disk) so why do i need to pay?
I switched to PC im done.
no it isn't. free = terrible quality
@@cococock2418 you don't actually get anything for paying. all the money goes to Sony when the publishers are hosting the servers. Or sometimes there's no servers at all
what are you smoking I play PC and Steam haas good quality online. and it's all free
Babe wake up, new Mystic video about PS3 online in current year just dropped finally
Real
Chocolate
PS3's online going strong nearly 20 years later is incredible! 🙏
The man himself legend on all things PS3
Thanks mawk too :)
Thanks fellas! Ryan is the OG though 🙏
GOOD GOD I am getting old
It's so crazy to think that the Wii, Xbox 360, and even Wii U/3DS stores have already closed, but the PS3 not only continues to have an active store but also has a very active Online community.
This is simply astonishing for an 18 year old console, I really hope this continues for many years to come.
It was a pleasure speaking to Mystic in the video (I am kid goku in the video 🤣).
Many won't know this but Metal Gear Online may have had one of the first shooter battle royales in gaming with a game mode called Stealth Deatchmatch (SDM). It has the shrinking circle that damages health if outside and with a MGS twist. The game was so ahead for its time in many ways.
Did the first MGO ever get restored?
@@Alex_Logan22yes
Right, there won't be any game like MGO2.
Yes! Used to play it all the time.
@@BET0000 I host it every 2 weeks. (Hopefully yt does not delete my reply to my comment this time)
my favorite annually series on youtube
same
Still crazy to see people online on ps3. Was playing operation raccoon city the other day and was beyond shocked when someone joined my game.
Wowwww. I recently picked that game up and didn't think anyone would be playing it
RE5 is pretty active too
Nice! I play on PS3 and PS4 via PS Plus streaming, someone usually joins I love it!
Dang I still play the game too but sadly I broke my ps3 controller button where you must shoot 😭
PS3 had one of the best UI's, the way it separated and organized all your media, gaming content, trophies everything was so seamless. I don't know if we'll ever get another XMB style ui from playstation again.
If it had cross game party chat it would’ve been the best console ever, but that’s too good to be true. Especially in the current gaming era . Pay to play/ pay to win is a norm now
Facts, and it was also surprisingly easy to get pirated movies downloaded on there.
For that matter, the XMB menu also made the PSP really cool to store media on as well. If only that console had proper PSN support, with party chat and such...
the ui is what I souly hated lol the colors the noise everything but it didn't make it worse of better was just my opinion. I miss the days of people that played for fun not for views or trying to make a day job of it youtube was a hobby and you didn't care what people said gamer words were just a thing and people loved and hated you now it's all hate or questioning why a person is being nice to you online has some sort of negative thing coming with it
I’m startin to see major nostalgia and retro content for the ps3 surface with it almost turning 20 years old. It’s crazy that the ps3 is a retro console now and to see the nostalgia kick in.
It’s retro but plays like modern console somehow. Some games is slow and use old game engines but overall it’s pretty strong still
Wouldn't consider it fully retro yet as it plays HD. The previous console's main display output was composite and were commonly used with CRT televisions, which makes them retro in my opinion. So I would say its on the verge of being retro.
@@user-cd9fr5mp9cnot everyone had hdtvs back then and you could just play 480p. Just saying
@@Solidus155The DualShock3 is the only thing that doesn’t feel modern. It feels so small after play with the PS4 and PS5 controllers. It doesn’t help that my controllers I’ve had basically as long as I’ve had the console, which is about 15 or so years now. The newer controllers do work with the PS3 though, so that’s handy.
It really depends on the game you’re playing, like if you go beyond 2010, it feels super old. playing the ps3 version of gta 5 doesn’t tho.
Still play my PS3 often. Glad I kept it.
I need to I often go back to my bc ps3 and play def jam and the old gtas I need to get my ps3 library back up I get bored playing my ps5 often
That was my last gaming console. I lost interest in gaming so I never got the ps4. I still have it and will never get rid of it.
ps3 runs alot more silently man ps home was were it was at
@@barrett2020 i agree wish they remade it exactly how it was
Same
The PS3 is by far the best console Sony ever made and its not even close. No need to download game discs to play, watch all your movies and anime from your usb without any issue and free multiplayer. It doesn't get better. than that.
Not to mention the internet browser was surprisingly good, and you had PS1 retrocompatibility (and some had PS2 as well)
Only thing i didn't like was the lack of party chat(which i thought was a big deal) and worse ports. Other than that PS5 isn't even close to PS2 and 3
@@ross3695_basedhax Most games had it incorporated anyways, but for the actual app in the system, the RAM limitations got in the way more often that not. One of the reasons people say 360 was best, even its pretty much dead and abandoned these days, unlike ps3 tho
PS2 and PS4 have a way better catalog of games. PS3, with today standards, feels like an arcaic PS4 at this point.
I mean, I love PS3 and I still play on mine from time to time, but it wasn't as good, even for Sony. It was hell to program, and most exclusives were average or lower.
Er, I don't know. I say ps2 is still better and ps4 second. Ps3 has some nice games, and yeah free online is nice. But damn, sure has more fps problems then the 360.
PS3 was like the golden era of online gaming, also peak gaming
It's already time for the 2024 one? Damn...
time flies
Your videos about old consoles always make me nostalgic in the best way possible.
It's so crazy to think that the Wii, Xbox 360, and even Wii U/3DS stores have already closed, but the PS3 not only continues to have an active store but also has a very active Online community.
This is simply astonishing for an 18 year old console, I really hope this continues for many years to come.
Nah the Xbox 360 store hasn't closed yet lmao, but in a few months it will.
@@crumdrumStill proves point PS3 is superior
Crazy the PS3 Online is still going props to people that still play their ps3.
just got dead rising 2 grate ps3 game
I got ps5 and ps3 I play both online regularly
One of the best video series.
I REQUEST FOR IT TO BE DONE TWICE A YEAR!
As someone who isn’t from the US, the PS3 experience is more painful day by day. Always less people.
It's genuinely heartwarming to see the love for MGO provided by the community where Konami just failed. We salute you boys!
MGO games are great, but people don't seem to care about it
There is some guy from japan playing journey from time to time. He helped my get my platinum and showed me lots of cool tricks and movement boosts. I think he was called albatross or something. It was awesome!
Seeing my own username in a game from someone else's perspective is always trippy.
(On one hand, I think my PSN username is a bit cringe, but on the other hand, it's cool being in someone's YT video.)
Thanks for helping us guys at PS3 Reborn boost the war party trophy in Far Cry 2. It was cool playing with you.
Anyone that isn't subscribed yet, give this man a sub.
Glad you guys got it done!
So so happy to see you cover MGO, genuinely always thought it was so far ahead of it's time and was devastated when it was shut down. There's still lots of new players coming back, so to any old players who see this, come check it out again!
PS Tripple ❤
ps triple ballin
This is Chaaaa Warden here aight
@@supersoupy4709I see you are a person of taste (and possibly a Matt McMuscles fan).
PS3 make the best games
Chad Warden was right about there being a 50 cent game on the ps triple
is it me or in these oldschool games playing a lot of cool and nice people?
Yes cause they re probably older and mature
Still playing on my PS3, such a huge and diverse library.
Keep these videos coming
The long awaited video
The tag out to Terrell was perfect lol
Ps3 was truly the 🐐 i play since 2010 and i remember playing ratchet and clank and call of duty and tekken 6, i miss those golden ages😢
I've been waiting for this video. Still proud to be playing online on my PS3 in 2024. Here's to 2025.
This is my favorite series of yours!
I’m such a big fan of this series. Always looking forward to these and glad you’ve kept it going for this long 😁
Yesss I’ve been watching your older videos and this is perfect timing. PS3 will forever be my first love
Warhammer Space Marine still seems to have a very active community on PS3 even
I'm still playing gta5,gta4,codwaw,bf3,cod waw,mw2,Red dead on multiplayer
I never smile so much in a mystic's video until I saw this 😁😁😁 24:30
This is the first video of Mystic I have ever seen, I'm smiling throughout the whole video 😅
Been following these yearly videos ever since u made the very first one back in 2019. You make me wanna revisit my ps3 again. Love ur videos
Also im absolutely shocked u covered lost planet 2. The multiplayer on that game is unbelievably fun with lots of ppl
I just bought my first PS3 ever yesterday because of your videos I’m so excited to try it out and to try the exclusive games that haven’t been ported over to modern platforms thanks for the videos😁
been waiting for this one
man this is so nostalgic. the late 2000s early 2010s will always be nostalgic.
I love this new video Mystic. You’re awesome bro.
Been subscribed for what must be years now as I've seen these annual videos come and go. Makes my heart swell with happiness that PSN on PS3 is still rocking.
Rainbow 6 vegas 2 on ps3 was my first multiplayer experience as well as PlayStation at home.. those were the days
bro saaame. Man I miss ps home and peak R6V2 Team leader
I hop on my Jailbroken PS3 every now and then but mostly to play some of my backlog. But when I hop on MW2, BO or WAW MP or Zombies, a sense of nostalgia hits me something fierce.
WaW is pretty awesome on pc with all the modded zombies maps. If you can play WaW or Black Ops 3 on pc you basically have infinite zombies maps. BO1 too but it has less modded maps.
Jailbroken PS3 online works ok?
@@dominicmanning4512 Yeah just don't use any Jailbreak apps, for that stay signed off, then you're good 👍
Wish that video was a but longer I enjoy this yearly series of playing ps 3 games online still great job Mystic
Hey, mystic, glad to see you still doing this.I have a jailbreaking PS3 now.I commented on your P Sn account a long time ago, I'm PS4 showing you the PS5 and stuff like that.If you remember me.I was also gonna told you about my first platinum on a Astro's playroom just letting know.I got a Jill broken p s three and i'm loving it
Free online, lots of GOOD games
Love that people are recognizing you. Keep up that grind.
These are definitely my favourite videos of yours 😀 Keep up the good work 👍
thank you for playing with the TR2013 community!
Im actually looking to buy a used PS3 to re download alot of my games. I really think PS5 is my last PlayStation console, ill chill with my PS1 thru PS5 collection and gamepass for the rest of my days
Yes PS5 is the worst one it has no game.
@@petelike2024all its good for is 60fps patches for old ps4, most games i play on it is PS4 stuff mainly
I'm still playing! Was kinda hoping I would see you in the lobbys this year around. Love PS3
OMG!! YESSS i love these video series i look forward to it every year.
Been waiting a while for this.
Also there are probably a ton of people who play but don't go online cus of Jailbreak/Homebrew
Notice how fast matchmaking is in a 15 year old game? Compare it to the PS5 Call of Duty games lol
I've never had problems getting into mw3 on the ps5.
Awesome video as always!! Great to see many games are still being played... I was there on that Tomb Raider saturday session lol... Also I've recently played NFS Rivals and there are still people online, Red Dead Redemption too ofc, pretty active and always fun (specially killing zombies!). Now for Metal Gear Peace Walker the online still works but I haven't seen anyone online, haven't checked much either but I know it works, it's probably a P2P
Best video of 2024 🙌🏻 its nice too see tyrell in your videos as we’ll definitely welcoming change ❤
I wonder when Sony will shut down the ps3 online service
I wish Naughty Dog bum ass would release the real uncharted 2 with multiplayer. I never stopped playing it. They made it stop :(
Or bring back the uc4 multiplayer for PS5
Awesome video!! This is so great to see
Thank you Mystic on covering that stuff. You're the G for this one.
Im here from the save mgo community
PS3 the best console
me and a group of people were playing NFS:MW this weekend. was a blast. you're awesome Ryan!
do you guys have a discord or a psn group chat? I don't own the game currently, but I'm interested in playing it
Love watching these every year
Love, love, love this series. Take care Ryan
Love these yearly vids. I miss play the ps3 games like GTA 4 COD FIFA when i came back from school
Lost Planet 2 really brought back some good memories. Spent so many hours in that game back in the day.
not me anymore since my ps3 stopped working. i loved watching these videos while playing online, it was a beautiful experience
this video is awesome. thank you. I love it!
ps3 xmb & friends list menu was the best.
logging in to that suspenseful “signing in” & seeing “account management” with a smiley was always a W.
Trophy levels, comments & the color/avatar customization was A1.
Simple is more
Always look forward to these every year!
Fire video bro thanks for the memories
been waiting for the 2024 version of this and ryan delivered
Whenever there's a new Mystic video, ya day just got lit up
I look forward to these vids every year!
Yesss been waiting for this!
Ahhh tekken 6, gta iv, world at war, damnn miss coming home from school and playing all night every weekend on these 😢❤
No way it’s already been a year since you released the last one of these. I’ve watched the last few years of these as soon as you release them and it just reminds me how fast time is going
Damn Ryan you knocked it out the park with these bangers! Even if you couldn't find any games for some of them but the game choices gave me nostalgia!
Please never stop doing these yearly it's always good wholesome nostalgia with these uploads in specific
I love seeing these videos every year
These videos for some reason really bring a tear to my eye. Its really beautiful you shine a spotlight on these few passionate individuals who keep these games alive even years after everyone has left!
amazing video , got to get destiny soon myself for ps3
Finally, I've been waiting all year for this video. I'll be waiting for next year
Very much looking forward to your playstation podcast that is coming... Cannot wait for more ryan
Dude it was really cool to see you play MGO2. I’ve only dabbled in SaveMGO but that community is one of the most dedicated I’ve ever seen.
This was fantastic!
Always look forward to these videos
Not everyone has the time to check every PS3 game for players and I like knowing that people are still playing these
I hope these stay online for years
Crazy timing! I just hooked up my PS3 last night, but couldnt get any games to read yet
Remindes me of good ol' days I had with this legendary console! Thanks Ryan ❤
I always enjoy seeing the yearly notification for this series
These videos are phenomenal!
It just goes to show how special this little plastic box is to so many people.
Thank you for raising awareness on older exclusive titles. Every year, I think we get closer and closer to publishers re-releasing older titles for newer consoles and PC.
Wow the work those guys did with MGO is amazing, I spent years in that game. Might jump in with rpcs3 just for that!
Hopped online at the weekend and played Blur. Always a great time playing that.
Had some success playing MGS Peace Walker online too.
Let’s go I was waiting on this vid
*TOMB RAIDER* 💪🏻 still remember those days when playing with Roman, recorded few videos too, now I am not active but still member of that great Discord server.
Definitely enjoy this series. It's insane how many first oarty multiple players ganes the 3 had compared to the 5
I look forward to these every year!
definitely needs a part two, there are so many games to explore
