@@AlexRocks80s80s I agree with your comment as I was once a newbie that was getting beaten by Rank 50 players which is what motivates me to actually play more in online before I can match their speed. That game still a fun game. It’s a shame we never got a sequel that it deserves..
Shutting down bad company 2 servers was a real blow. Battlefield 3 and 4 for ps3/xbox 360 wasn't that good as the maps were designed for 64 players but these consoles only supported 24
Just seeing our favourite online game still being talked about makes us happy :). PS3 is and always will be a legendary era of gaming. Metal Gear Online itself represents that in many ways with an unbelievable amount of customisation available (even by today's standards) which you would earn in the game itself rather than having to pay for it.
For rally fans, Colin McRae DiRT2 is still online till this day! As a Malaysian (who have to wait until midnight to find an active servers), I remember one time playing with a bunch of Aussie dudes with few European players in the server, it's damn fun especially when you race with a full grid of players. I definitely recommend tracking down that copy of DiRT2 if any of you haven't got it. It's worth it.
A lot of ground was covered in this and knowing 2024 PS3 online communities are still alive and well. Thank you for the great video documenting the current state, and especially with attention to detail the time you invested!
Just checked all the Call of Duty games I still own on Sunday September 15 2024 and Black Ops 1 - 1000+ players Black Ops 2 - 0 players Black Ops 3 - 5 players Ghosts 200+ platers MW2 0 players MW3 200+ players World at War 100+ players Blops 1 is my favorite COD so I'm happy to be able to play it!
Remember IAMAUSSIE from SOCOM:Confrontation hated that guy so much 😂 I been thinking about going back since there’s no SOCOM 5 in the foreseeable future
One thing that you forgot is the fact that helldivers 1 has crosplay with not only the ps3 and psvita but also ps4 and ps5 so all players from these platforms can play together
I want to play my ps3 but I’m afraid I’ve seen couple a videos saying the latest update might brick my ps3 one day I might risk it.. did you update your ps3
Thank you for putting time and effort into making this video. by the way there are two great NFS games which are not shown this video, first is Hot Pursuit and second is Rivals, both have active playerbase from time to time but sadly not as populated as Most Wanted.
This is one hell of a video and it's good to see many games are still online on PS3. Maybe I can add to the collection. 2 Souls Games are still enjoyable online: Demon's Souls with the archstone server and some changings in the IP Setting of your PS3. Without changing IP on PS3 also Dark Souls 1 Prepare to die Edition😃
i even matched with a random person on the PC version of Dead Island last time i played it. Was kinda shocked tbh considering the pc community usually dies out pretty quick for niche titels, even more so for older titles that you go back to years later.
Always thought it was a bot in journey but turns out it was a real human being ! Feel bad now stayed on a level just staring and sitting for like hours came back he was still there ! Whoever it was thank you !
Thank you for everyone including the players but in this case mainly the creators for putting this info out here. It lets us know us PS3 players know its not dead and it wont be dead, gotta sleep now because of work
It was a pleasure gaming with everyone the last hours of Twisted Metal online. 😃 -- It was neat how everyone playing would leave and rejoin so we all were on 2 maps in the rotation. We all laughed, told stories and played follow the leader. GG's
Recently went back and picked up Black Ops 1 & 2 on Series X and they're every bit of incredible as I experienced it as a teen. The late nights of zombies with friends taking turns leading the last zombie for restroom breaks to trashtalking in S&D. There is just something about them that simply isn't comparable to the latest iteration of COD, MW3. It actually has character and feels like a lot of love and care went into it's development. You had map packs and with arguably some of the best zombie and mp maps to ever been released to the prestige system. I'm unbelievably excited for Black Ops 6 with Treyarch back at the helm. They've not let me down.
These old consoles should be free to play online, considering they jump the price again on Xbox live.. expect another hike after a new console release too, glad I switched to PC when I did
Oh wow, so you were in my single flag ctf lobby for cod 3 on ps2 last night. If you ever get a chance, try Medal of Honor rising sun. It’s a ww2 fps that takes place in the pacific theater which has an online mode.
R6V2 was amazing. I remember recording a clip of me in TH with my mic stuffed into my headphones blaring Redman, and uploading that shit to xfire. Fuck.
Last I heard about the CODs on PS3 was that the servers were overrun with hackers and if you go online, you risk them stealing all your personal info. Was that fixed or what
That’s anything and everything online forever 😂 but considering 4.91 latest OFW is jailbroken I’d say at least 70% are jailbroken and the other 30% HEN enabled but not many people trying to rtm since that almost guaranteed to cost a CID on cod and destiny and gta I mean we still do it but it’s usually to help our main accounts and friends and if you don’t get reported you don’t get banned these days but even then you just make a new and switch CIDs and most of us have dozens of ps3s for parts and CIDs I have 15 and 2 other ones mostly used up not counting my main super slim or the other 4 I’m using now
Great video!! I love playing all the cods they’re still very active most being bo1 as you said although I’ve been on bo2 for the past couple days no problem, fight night is a legendary game as well although it doesn’t let me fight online. Gta IV is legendary even the hackers are mostly chill but overall great video bro hope to catch u on a black ops revival stream!!
Play them on the XBOX lol they are way more populated on those consoles I don't have a PS3 but my friend who does and has a Gaystation 5 says hardly anyone plays on the old cods on PS3 anymore
I honestly think Ghosts is the best CoD to play on PS3. It has a decent amount of players, it doesn't have the cheesy OP stuff like MW2 launchers and 1 man army. It doesn't have hackers either, unlike Blops 2. Blops 1 is ok, but the netcode isn't as good, and you sometimes have to lead your shots because of the lag, they take like 1 whole second to hit their target.
Sadly, if you're a new player to any cod on ps3 before 2013, your level won't be saved, so you'll be reset to level 1 every time you load up multiplayer
The only game that doesn’t work on my ps3 is blackops 1 my most favourite game of all time along with waw OG, probably off all the glitches and lag switching for zombies to get out the maps with the barriers but ohh well still have the memories and old friends❤
