Man looking back PS3 was an absolutely stacked console. Read Dead, Deus Ex HR, GTA 4, MGS4, Last of Us, God of War 3, 2 Uncharted games, Resistance, Dead Space, Heavy rain, Mass effect, Arkham games...
PS3 is one of my favorite consoles of all time. It was a powerhouse with a great library and for a long time was the hub of my TV media enjoyment, with the DVD, Blu Ray, digital video supporting a lot of formats, etc. It has a long lifespan as a console also. I never loved the PS4 as much as the PS3. Since moving my PS4 library to my PS5, the 4 is put in a box in a closet, but I still have my PS3 hooked up.
MAG was awesome. Played many matches that were completely full. You could play entire matches in a corner of the map versus a huge opposition and be completely unaware of the rest of the map that had their own battles raging on. Until your entire team of 128 players pushed through their respective positions and then you could see the sheer size of the battle as everyone focused on the same goal.
Concerning fact number 6, while you can plug in a DualShock 4 or Dualsense controller into a PlayStation 3 they are not seen as PlayStation controllers instead as third party peripherals. This means that certain games like Resistance 2 and Gran Turismo 5 will not accept input from these controllers. Though in Gran Turismos case you can go through menus cars do not function.
Used to know someone that worked semi high up in sony (went to high school together) and apparently, before Microsoft announced Gears of War 4, Sony was in talks with epic to buy Gears of War DIRECTLY since microsoft hadnt yet. Ive sat on this since, waiting for other stuff to leak about it and somehow missed the gears of war 3 ps3 prototype. Guessing that was also a sales pitch lol
Thank you for mentioning controllers. With the Switch 2 coming, I wonder if I will be able to utilize my pro controller and hit the ground running. Great Stuff, as always!
Fun fact Mag didn't really have 256 players online, you never even seen any other players other the your squad of 16 and the enemy's squad of 16. It was never a massive war game of 128 vs 128.
I think the PlayStation Home could have been successful if it didn't take up so much space on the hard drive or the default storage capacity was way bigger because everyone I knew that had that thing installed eventually had to remove it to make room for a game install.
Wasn't it the first Gears of War that was built for PS3? Also I was in Chicago for the debut of Y2J. My friends and I figured out the countdown that was playing on RAW was going to reach 0 at RAW in Chicago, and so we made sure early on that we would be there. It was amazing.
I wouldn't worry about your Metal Gear Sold 4 obsession, I have you beat with Mass Effect. I got my first copy with my 360. The second I got because the first developed a crack. Number three game with the Classic Collection because I wanted a copy of Bring Down the Sky on disc. Fourth was the Limited Edition Steelbox. Five was the PC version that I bought from eBay (turns out it was not for sale outside of Thailand but it still worked). Six was another 360 copy, this one the Games of Demand version. The seventh version game when I bought the game on Steam. The eighth Mass Effect came when I used the Steam CDkey to activate the game on Origin. Ninth was came in the PS3 collection. Ten was the collection for the PC. Finally number 11 is from the Legendary Edition.
My buddy had that Sony TV. it was horrible. The 240Hz kinda didn't work sometimes and at once point he lost one viewing eye completely when we were playing lol. One day it just stopped powering on.

SO MANY FACTS MY GOD MAN
I used to be the 4th ranked player in MAG in 2010 when I was 16. I skipped so much school and played MAG all day everyday for 2 years straight
Finally it is! I've waited for this video. I still have PS3 Slim and really love to go back to those games.

Ps3 feels so nostalgic right now, shame many banger titles such as asuras wrath didn't get ported to pc..
Adding an SSD to a PS3, I'd watch it. Minnesota here.
Yesssss, new console trivia! Thank you for the upload!

I bought ps3 when I owned ps4. Played more on ps3 than ps4. Ps5 I even didn't consider to buy.
that was old snake wearing the young mask from mgs4. the shadow mosses level was a nice throwback!
he reminds me of pliskin a lot
Installing an SSD into my PlayStation 3 did definitely make a difference 👍
Seriously, with aging ps3 controller batteries..number 6 is a god send...i would have never ever thought to do that 😊😊😊
With the Brook Wingman XE2 controller adapter you can also use a PS4 controller via Bluetooth on the PS3 👍

The Dual Analogue controller for the PS1 didn't have rumble. It was the Dual Shock controller released later that introduced PlayStation to "rumble".
the Dual Analog in Japan had rumble, they took it out before it got to the west and then it debuted here with the DualShock
@@CulturedVultures I had no Idea! (I need one of those now😮💨) Also, cheeky beggers knew what they were doing🤑.
I was there when the leap year bug killed my fat ps3 back then and had to send it to sony to get a replacement.😅
It's solid snake with the face camo set to young snake
9:59 May Flash's magic-ns also works on PS3. SYNC A PS4 controller to the USB Dongle and you get a fully usable PS4 controller on PS3
Pretty damn wild. I skipped the PS3 in its heyday for the most part, so this stuff is fun for me. Great videos, folks!
The picture is Old Snake wearing an Octocamo mask of his younger self.

uhhh bluetooth works for PS4 and Dualsense controllers on PS3 as well ;)
Do you know if the 8BitDo Bluetooth adapter works on the PlayStation 3 in combination with a DualShock 4 controller?
That is Old Snake wearing a Young Snake mask!
23:30 I feel personally called out
Omg he returns

You should see my MGS2 collection! However I somehow don't have the original PAL copy hahaha
Another whipper from the vultures!
PS3 and the Vultures
That was Old Snake with the young face camo from MGS4, first worn in the opening cutscene for Act 3.
even the ps4 doesn't get much of a performance boost when upgrading to an ssd. just a little.
Snake Plissken
My buddy had that Sony TV. it was horrible. The 240Hz kinda didn't work sometimes and at once point he lost one viewing eye completely when we were playing lol. One day it just stopped powering on.
wait what, it blinded him??? The Fight: Lights Out wasn't THAT bad!
@@CulturedVultures no not blinded lol. The other frame never came up so he only has 1 eye through the glasses.
9:21 of course solid snake, with face camo normaly he is old snake in mgs4 because of accelerated age normaly he is look old without face camo.
Ugh he always gets me to click by showing metal gear 😂
this was, no lie, the 9th thumbnail I designed hahaha!
damn a 360 version of mgs4 prob would have run a lot better too, what a shame.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
All this is just rehasing well known facts at thi stage laaaaaaaaaaaame Brits
this is about games not the console! waste of time!
I don't even think a lot of them are specifically about games! there's controllers, bugs, apps, initiatives, and TVs in here
What is console without games?
psst3 9:21 Old solid snake with young face camo
