Why I Liked PS3 More Than PS4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Now that we're down to the last 2-3 years of PS4 I'm starting to realize that I think I enjoyed PS3 a lot more. And no, it wasn't just Folding@Home, but a few other things that I wish PS4 had. I think that's why that song goes "Stacy's PS3 has got it goin' onnnn".

Free online play.
Yep
Yep
Plastic Spoon maybe but Xbox live was always better
I wish multiplayer stayed free
User stop with the fanboy shit,people don’t care what’s better and the huge ps fan base proves that,it makes the Xbox fan base look pathetic
1. free online play
2. ps home
3. backwards compatibility
4. xmb
5. not having to delete games so often
Kingdom Hearts 3 not being on PS3.
#5 is an easy fix
My ps3 doesnt have backwards compatibility. I also have never needed to delete any games on my ps4. I still have my ps3. But I hardly play it anymore. I bought a ps4 for the exclusives☺

@@eazyethan4944 no way. Unless they were all indie games.
I think older generations had better games. that is why most classics keep getting remasters
Dude this is so true...wanted to give you a double like
Give this guy a triple like for this comment
Bc back then people actually put their hearts into creating a game. Then online, microtransactions, loot boxes, and patches happened so devs could just release buggy games and fix it later with patches..
No they re getting remastered because people loved them. Also, Kingdom Hearts 3.
Uum hello? God of war,spiderman,horizon zero dawn,nier automata,bloodborne,persona 5,nioh,yakuza series,zelda botw,mario odyssey,super smash bros and more. Just because there are also bad games that are released in the curremt gen doesnt mean that every games nowadays are trash. Nostalgia is heck of a drug and you really should stop getting addicted to it.
We were all younger in the PS3 era. Less technology (eg. smartphones, social media overload, etc.), less adult responsibilities, and a touch of nostalgia, like going to gamestop, holding a game case in your hands, & browsing the titles. The smell of plastic... There wasn’t so much emphasis on digital download.
Everything felt so new and incredible in those days.
Ur soo right like I was born in 2005 so it might fell a bit stupid I'm the one saying this but like my first and only console is ps3 and in the first grade for a short time I had a old pc so I got to play cod 1 and stronghold crusader (the one in the desert) so I can acualy understand u people and not just be like mOm FoRtNiTE like I REALY like the games that are made before 2014 and the one that came later are just pay to win bullshits we'll some are also that came before 2014 but still
So true
But now its time to grow up and give Sony all our money.
You may have a job but you cannot call yourself a complete adult and supporter of democracy if you dont give your hard earned money to the corporations on things such as online subscriptions (paid online) and mictrotransactions, because spending is what keeps society going, so there really shouldnt be 'free' stuff.

You forgot to mention that beautiful orchestra sounding startup sound for the ps3. That orchestra riff always made me feel exited, like I was about to step into completely different universes.

Devs Couldnt release half ass games like they do now
I call the PS4 era the Multiplayer Era because multiplayer games are more popular than single player games now
The PS3 days were the best days man, they were a whole different vibe!
You were 12 years younger...lol
I could of got PS4 but loved my PS3 so much I didn't bother to get one 😇
They ps3 days were the best days because they were the same days as the Xbox 360 days. Xbox ruled that generation. This is coming from a 26 year old life long playstation fan. I switched from ps3 to Xbox 360 in 2010 and I made the right choice. The 360 had party chat as well. Ps3 never had that. That was the game changer imo. I play PS4 now and I did like my ps3, but it’s strange how I’m not seeing any comments about the Xbox 360 days. Surely it was more popular too
@@jackw4031 Thats bcuz this is a video talking about ps3 and ps4. If u wanna read comments about xbox 360 days, u should probably watch a video about xbox 360. Trust me you'll fit in, cuz i see a lotta ppl talking about the good ol' xbox360 days.
Jason Wakeman Nah man, I bought an Xbox 360 in 2008, then when I got red ring of death in 2011, I bought a PS3, which had all of the exclusives that blew Xbox away.
Who stills plays on their ps3 because I do
I played Red Dead Redemption on PS3 a few months ago and loved every minute. It made me realize how great that console still is.
Pisauce Productions I play the infamous series as it is my favorite series of all time
Lmao I sold my PS4 and bought a PS3. I'm playing Persona 5 on it and some other anime games. Iz fun

Me I still play games on it like cod Bo2,Mk9,Minecraft, etc
You forgot not having to install games and being able to play them the moment you put the disc into the console.
Minus the updates of course
@@cyclops8238 Amen!
There were some games that needed to be installed, just not completely all of them.
Its because games nowadays are bigger,thats not the ps4's fault
I dont think this is a advantage, the blu ray was very slow and the games that lacked the option to install had very long load times compared to the same game on the 360. What I do like more about this on the PS3 is that the data management is smarter. On modern systems, they just copy everything over from the disc to the hard drive, no questions asked. On PS3 the game installs were tailored to the game experience, meaning that, for example, Ni no Kuni requires installing but only for the language you chosen to run the game, on machines of today they install all languages available on the game even though the user probably will never use most of them, or how Gran Turismo games installed assets for quicker access, but if you didnt had much space, it could run some data from the disc so the game was not in an unplayable state.
1 - PS3 has free online play
2 - You don't have to install every game you buy
3 - Most games work perfectly fine without download a huge Day-One Patch (and trust me, it's a HUGE pain if you don't have a good internet connection, I had to wait literally 2 days to play some games I bought)
4 - More console exclusive games and split-screen more supported (and usually missing on PC ports), so playing on PC was less convenient for some people, also way more 4-player games to play with your friend, and not just indies.
5 - It can play PS1 games both physical and digital releases, and I used that a lot more than I thought I would do actually
6 - Tons of great PS3/PSP/PSVita interaction features (Cross-Save was an amazing thing, also Cross-Play and Cross-Buy)
7 - It just supported almost every device you plugged in.
8 - PS2 ports were decent (J&D anyonre)
9 - Games didn't have loot boxes or excessive DLC abuse
10 - Overall, AAA games were trying to push the limits and do something new sometimes (Red Faction, LBP, MNR, StarHawk, Blur...) and single player games (or even some local co-op) were a lot more present in libraries, now all we got are greedy soulless multiplayer-only experiences, reskins/clones of already successful games or remakes of old stuff... or indies, which I can play on potato PCs so I don't really need a PS4 for.....Sure ,there are some exceptions nowadays, but last gen the respect for the customer was everyday life.
I still use my PS3 almost daily and I still buy games for it (which right now are really cheap here in Italy), and I have both a PS4 and a 1500€ gaming PC, let just think about that

I bought a PS3 last week and I have no regrets. As someone who has a 360 and PS4, it was nice to finally get this system. Unfortunately, this is an era of gaming that we will never see again. Tons of games that were great and didn't have to worry about microtransactions. I love my PS4 and the games I have for it but it's a shame we will never see things the 360 and PS3 did in the gaming world again.
xX3JRMXx yeah it’s sad. And a digital only future is inevitable unfortunately :(
@@tjthegreat7 For about 90% of the main life cycle of the PS3 and 360, there was hardly a game that had mictotransactions. After 2012 was when we started seeing it more and the PS4 and Xbox One were the consoles where it really started to get bad.
Jorge Marquez it will never turn to digital only..
@@sidioushatesyou5856 I don't see things being all digital but you never know. Physical copy sales keep going down. GameStop is a perfect example because they have been on a down hill slide the past few years because people aren't going out and buying physical games like they do.
PS2 by far the best station for GAMING
The way you miss the PS3 experience...is the way I miss the 360. I enjoyed last generation much more than this current gen.
^^^
I enjoyed both
I had the 360 but I switched to PS4 as the Xbox one took ages to download
For most people it's cuz they are older now. You can't enjoy games as much when u get older.

I can remember the exact day I got a PS3 so it was 10 days after Christmas 2011 and we just came back from the shop and I went to the living room to play liberty city stories on my PSP or something and I was called to get something from my parents room and there was just a box I thought that was what it was so I took it down to them and after opening it I saw the black box and holy shit my 10 year old mind was blown away by it after setting it up and starting up a random game I was yet again blown away by the realistic graphics (unrelated this was on a 2002 tv) I shit you not I played it all night

And one has backwards compatibility, which was removed for absolutely no reason, and i really hope that this will be on the next ps.
I still play my PS3. Barely touch my PS4. The graphics aren’t even that much better.
Why do you care of the graphics.....
PS4 isn't all graphics, Uncharted 4 with a better tv is better then any uncharted game out there for graphics and smoothness.
PS4 is about smoothness no lag a bit faster then ps3 but not as fast then ps4 pro.

2 words, “free online”. Enough said
It was ass thought, that is why I preffer XBox 360, but in this generation I like PS4 a lot more than the XBox One
dude you get what you pay for, and honestly the free online feature, eww the ps3s online ecosystem was kinda trashy.
Why does it matter that Xbox Live is paid? For instance Call of Duty was peer-to-peer back then, there's nothing Microsoft can do on software that can improve the connection, its all done via the NIC in your Xbox 360 and your home's internet connection, that is hardware that are standardized in all home machines/PC.
@@demonpride1975 PC stayed free throughout time and still remains having the best servers with a larger and more developed ecosystem. You are not relying on a 1st-party solution which usually are there to cut-cost and lock down their platform. For example in Battlefield 3/4 on consoles, all servers are run by EA (you are paying Xbox Live for nothing), while on PC you can choose to play on the vanila EA servers or play on community servers which is always better than EA's solution since they typically have higher tick rate and higher bandwidth.

@@TheDarknight7000 the PS3 was the first console with Online? even if we're limiting that to just Sony that's nowhere close to correct. The PS2 had online and it was _free_ just like the PS3. The only reason why Sony and now Nintendo are charging for online is because Sony saw how much money Microsoft made from Xbox Live Gold and saw consumers had no problem forking over money to pay online so they figured they'd do the same. While I do agree, that free online will never happen again, it's mostly due to the success the Xbox had with Xbox Live Gold than anything else and had the Xbox 360 flopped, I can almost guarantee that PS4 online play would be free.
Im on ps3 right now until the ps5 comes out. Just makes me sad, ps3 days were the best times. Games and community

I still feel like the PS3 has a far better library of games than the PS4. Definitely more diversity in games.
preach it, gender-bro
Fact
Flatulent Trogdor more diversity in genre, which is good, but come on, the ps4 has blood borne, the last of us remastered, god of war 3 remaster and GOW 4, spider man, days gone, horizon zero dawn, uncharted the Nathan drake collection and uncharted 4, until dawn, ratchet and clank, Detroit become human, the last guardian, killzone shadow fall, and now we have TLOU2 and ghost of Tsushima on there way soon. That’s impressive, and pretty much just as good as the ps3 lineup in my book.
@@punctuationman334 I'm with you. The ps4 has a lot of remakes so did the ps3 with its HD remasters. But honestly If i took those games out from both systems. I'd prob still have the same amount of games for my ps3 as my ps4.
i can simplify this for you , Fallout New Vegas is on ps3 not ps4
PS3 is easily one of the greatest systems ever made. The capabilities of it as a media device (the XMB is the greatest UI ever), coupled with the fantastic PS3 library, and being able to play 99% of PSX games. Such a fantastic system. It was a super exciting time in 2008 when Sony really started to make waves and show what the PS3 was capable of. I still play it more than my PS4.
And ps3 was a nigntmare for the developers who developed for it , got inferior ports , online hacking community attack , poor online infastructure , the goddamn controller , on the positive side , it also was super nice looking , complex and unique hardware , great first party lineup , begging of sony stepping up there online abilities and fully backwards compatible with nice innovation of motion controllers . Ps3 and 360 really are mixed bags
Connecting controllers was so much easier an simple on PS3. None of that creating guest or account crap. That's my only gripe.
Big Facts
Plus you can play up to to 7 players/controllers locally on the PS3 on games like FIFA on the other hand the PS4 only support up to 4 players/controllers locally max which sucks.
Lol you also have to sign into PSN to do remote play on PS4 which is complete shite.
PS3 the greatest console Sony ever made, I've been saying this for years!
True. It has everything it takes to be the best. The most underrated console of all.

It has a solid emulation too.

Dude I love my ps3 I couldn't agree more I've only found 8 games I'm interested in on ps4 and it's been out 6 years whereas ps3 I've amassed a collection of 169 games in total (:
The ability to play PS1 games, and some games exclusive to that time, like Batman Arkham City, Mortal Kombat 9, NBA 2K11 and a few more, have me coming back to my PS3 lately. I've also been disappointed lately in how buggy or broken a few games I recently bought are, like Cyberpunk and the GTA Trilogy. I think the NBA games in the PS3 generation are better than today's, mainly due to the AI not being so bad as it is in current titles.

Sometimes my ps3 nostalgia can make me cry tears of joy
The ps3 is still my favourite console even tho I played on PS4 and Xbox one and even tho I own a Nintendo switch because of the nostalgia and games and stuff

Hm. Do you have knowledge of a project expanding past those titles listed in those links? I came across some rumors / trails of work for quite a number more titles beyond the contents of the referemce I posted.
I agree, I still play my PS3 more to this day. It introduced me to BluRay movies, online play, wireless controller with power controls!, and had so many great games! The PS3 was a revolutionary console gaming experience in my opinion!
Yea when I got a PS3 I realized I could now watch Blu-ray movies but then I remembered I only had a standard Def TV lol. Eventually I got a 40in 1080p HDTV at the end of the life cycle of the PS3 as it was rumored the PS4 and next Xbox wouldn't support standard Def TV's. So I figured if I wanted to keep gaming I'd have to upgrade. Man the 1st time I saw Uncharted 2 in HD I was absolutely floored lol. Then I started to build my Blu-ray collection. Now with the Xbox One X I've started doing the same but with 4K Blu-rays.
I play PS3 for Gran Turismo 6, Shin Megami Tensei games and listen to Green Day on it really nowadays. I loved it when I first got it for many exclusives and third party games back in 2013,but PS4 just irons out so many shortcomings the PS3 had I really didn't bother with it anymore aside from just being a GT or Backwards compatibility machine.
Edit: Now that I think about it. I feel my PS Vita is like a combo mix of PS3 and PS4 with of course PSP/PS1 game catalog so maybe that ultimately led me to just lose more interest of the PS3.
Nah, PS2 was the revolutionary system. Look how long it ran for. PS3 was more of a computer to me. Without the internet, PS3 wasn't much. XBOX 360 and PS3 took the fun out of gaming.

I've had a real nostalgia fuelled longing for the PS3 as of late and this video distills everything I loved about the system as an early adoptor and hardcore PS gamer. I remember saving up all of my money from my paper round just to afford the PS3 and still needing to borrow money from my dad to cover the cost at launch xD and then using my christmas tips to pay for the eye of judgement which was such an awesome game at the time.
I've just picked up a backwards compatible launch model (mine died years ago) and I'm planning on cleaning it and doing some mainteance on it before going back down the awesome rabbit hole that is the PS3 games library. Awesome video, only recently discovered the channel but you've got a new fan and subscriber here in the UK.

Angel Valentin Mojica Yep, I’m always buying used games to add to my collection.
@ Not force me but I have received some offers from friends.
i think the jump from playstation 2 to playstation 3 was so drastic, but ps3 to ps4 was really not as prolific of a jump. I don't think hardware improvements really have justified the latest gen of consoles until the last year or two. which is sad considering the current gen consoles for sony and xbox are very quickly reaching the end of their life cycle.
I jump from ps1 to ps4... I wanna cry when I see then graphics on ps1.

Agreed on the XMB. I had so many movie trailers, music, pics etc. it was all in one place and it was great.
For me, it was all about the games. So many games from that generation have gone down in history as classics.
The Last of Us
Uncharted Trilogy
Ezio Trilogy
BioShock 1 & Infinite
God of War 3
the Dead Space trilogy
Fallout 3 & New Vegas & Skyrim
Arkham Asylum
It was a golden age of gaming come again, I think.
How many games from this generation are going to be remembered as classics? A couple maybe. Bloodborne, Horizon, GoW, Witcher 3. But... compared to the PS3/360 era, nowhere near as many. And development times are now so long that we've stopped getting trilogies within one generation.
And RDR2
Uncharted 4 , Lost Legacy , Bloodborne , Persona 5 , Horizon Zero Dawn , The Witcher 3 + 2 Awsome Addons , Red Dead Redemption 2 , Sekiro , God of War , Doom , Dishonored 2 , Prey , Spider-Man , Resi 7 and 2 Remake , Monster Hunter World , MGS V , The Last Guardian , Divinity Original Sin 2 , Pillars of Eternity , Dragon Quest 11 , Hitman 1 and 2 , NieR Automata , Nioh , Titanfall 2 , Dying Light and many more.
I dont need shitty Trilogy like Dead Space where ever game became worse and 3 was a trainwreck , Ezio is just an garbage ubiworld where ever game is the exact same. Bioshock Infinite was a shitty shooter no wonder they closed the studio after that. Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy are alot better than the older uncharted games. and we still have tlou 2 to come.
Look you can like the ps3 and drowned yourself in seas of nostalgia but that doesnt mean that the ps4 dont have any excellent games especially the exclusives heck even surpassed than that of the ps3 titles. Imo gaming has been better than ever with all of the unique and great games that we had received so far.

Got PS1 at 2000, got ps2 at 2006, but never felt I was out of date, and since the greatest games usually release at the end of console age so it was perfect, but with the internet and all the influence and brainwash that came with it, people make you feel like you're sooo "yesterday" and it makes some people hate what they just bought, fuck them, fuck them all and enjoy what you got blindly buddy

YES!! I had a way better time with the PS3 than PS4.
When I first got my PS3, I was getting friend requests every day. I was always chatting to other gamers thru the text or headset.
With the PS4 it's just deadspace out there nobody talks unless you arrange party chat.

Things I miss about PS3. XMB - I know where everything is located on that OS, Ripping music to the system, playing for days with a DS3 on a single charge, free online & much better PS+ offering.
Ps3 is my all time favourite console. I used to play little big planet everyday and I loved it, it was my childhood.
I used to play LBP2 all the time too whether we played the same LBP game or not.
I've always found the menu system on the PS4 to be painfully slow by comparison to the PS3.
Eh?
It's just too clunky
Would be great if we could use ps3 ui if we wanted
Too many menues in PS4, in PS3 you can turn off a controller with the press of two buttons, meanwhile on PS4 you have to navigate 3 separate menues, plus the PS4 hub just looks bad with its big square blocks
The PS3 is my favourite console. Local, and (free) online multiplayer, a bunch of guitar hero games, All the Kojima directed Metal Gears, PS1 backwards compatibility across all consoles, 1080p HD, XMB.
It's honestly just my favourite console of all time and I just hope the PlayStation network servers for PS3 never go offline
The only way PS3 servers are going offline are when PlayStation stops making new consoles bc the online is all together with PS3 and 4 so hope u are happy 😁

Every time I launch my PS3, I feel so crazy about it. I love that nostalgia striking, all the legendary games, the memories, and there are even some people still playing online (the games whose servers are still online)
PS3 was a better console. PS4 is too locked down. Ps3 supported any universal USB controller I used a generic Logitech pc controller on my ps3 with no issue I even used a generic ps2 to USB adapter. Why can't I use a ps3 controller on the ps4? Even the ps2 supported ps1 controllers. The ps3 supported Bluetooth headsets why in the hell does the ps4 not support that? The ps3 had better media support the xmb is also better it was more organized the ps4 media player is a joke. It was easier to access my media on ps3. Also, why doesn't the ps4 play CDs? Even ps1 did that! Ps3 had keyboard and mouse support so when I use a website on the ps3 or need to type something it was much easier. Hell, the ps3 even had printer support and video chat. PS2 and PS3 had Linux support it could do more than just play games which it better do since you're paying so much money for it. Also, Sony put their all they even developed the cell which showed their dedication also put a good GPU the ps4 has a weak CPU and the GPU is just a 750ti equivalent an entry-level GPU from 2012! Why? Sony made the ps3 more than a game console which made it great. Sony just said with the ps4 was just play games thats it. Which should not fly today. Consoles should offer more than just games, especially at that price. PS3 was more like a computer while the ps4 was just a game box.
Yeah but ps4 has vr something ps3 doesn t and vr is incredible and i love psvr it is so immersive something will never be able to do . Plus the ds4 is so much better and has cool features like the share button which i use all the time
PS3 lost Sony billions upon billions of dollars. Sony lost far more money off the PS3 than what they made back. Cell Processor was the number one reason why the PS3 was very expensive, insanely hard to develop for, why 3rd party games looked, played and sold better on the Xbox 360 and the reason why we do not have PS3 backwards compatibility on the PS4. The PS3 also had a fairly weak GPU compared to the Xbox 360 but, a much more powerful CPU. They had to rely heavily upon the Cell Processor to make alot of the commands that the GPU would naturally handle. The PS3 really was the opposite of the PS4. I liked the PS3 as a console but, I'm glad Sony will never make a mistake like that ever again.
All of what you said is why Im still with PS3 Even though I Have A PS4
I only game on my console though so lack of media options never bother me.

Why i love and still love my ps3
1.free online play
2.ps home (i miss)
3.amazing exclusives
4.xmb (basically the most organized home screen)
5. Easy jailbreak even with a e3 flasher or without.
6. A wonderful community
Things I prefer on PS3:
1) Free multilayer
2) Less noise ( my PS4 is loud like an airplane )
3) Designs of PS3 consoles, mainly Slim and superslims just seemed more durable, than the PS4 consoles and also prettier
4) No parental controls, which are little bit destroying my PS4 experience and I can't disable it
Things I prefer on PS4
1) It's an airplane for only 300 euros.
2) Red dead redeteption 2
3) Gran Turismo Sport
4) Software has many new features, like shareplay, but I also like the multifunction and other things. Overall PS4 software is better for me.
About 2) I guess that it's a good time to clean PS4 cooling system and change the thermal paste on CPU...

The thing I miss and will never experience again is just the sheer shock of the graphical fidelity upgrade to PS3. My first PS3 game was "Uncharted 2", so going from a PS2 on a CRT to the PS3 on a HDTV with that game was astounding.
With TVs just getting "more HD" and games being so visually deep that some studios have to make the games less photorealistic to avoid Uncanny Valley, the next jump will never be as impressive.
I remember thinking what the point of a PS4 is when PS3 graphics couldn't be beat, and didn't realize for years how significantly better PS4 looks over PS3, until I played my PS3 on my 4k TV recently and noticed how low the resolution was.
I just played the remastered God of War 3 on PS4 and swore it always looked and ran that well on PS3 and was wondering what was remastered about it until I replayed the oroginal version on the ps3.
Now I'm numb to the progress and the industry and technology is at a point where they make more small leaps rather than game changing ones.

You'll probably feel differently on PS5 when you remember the joy you had on PS4 and start to miss it.
Between 2009-2013 were the best times I had gaming. PS3 was the first console I purchased with my hard earned money, was really into a game I saw on UA-cam called WarhawK and had to have it. from Uncharted to Killzone 2, to Uncharted 2 to Infamous to God of War 3, and so on and so on. Plus the one major thing I loved about PS3 was Playstation Home, just logging on to a game service where I could chat with people about our favorite games and personal lives. The console will always hold a special place in my heart.
Still play my ps3 every weekend.
I only invest in a system once it’s almost dead and discontinued, cheap as hell games, all the issues and patches problems ironed out

What’s the point in that? Most people would have moved on to the next gen and anyone left would be much higher levels and have more stuff than you inthe games not to mention you’ll miss out on all the free limited time content.
