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

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.

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.

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.

Your videos about old consoles always make me nostalgic in the best way possible.

PS3 was like the golden era of online gaming, also peak gaming

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.
