7 Reasons The PlayStation 3 Is Better Than Ever

1. Online Play Still Persists For Many, Many Titles

The kings of last-gen multiplayer are, happily, still reigning. You'll have trouble with games that never really hit the big leagues of multiplayer like Far Cry 3, but Far Cry 4 is certainly an option. The Last of Us is still healthy enough to host matches too, as is Uncharted 3.

And let's not forget the titles that were almighty online: Call of Duty and Battlefield with their final entries on PS3 (Black Ops 3 and Hardline) are still going strong, plus, Battlefield 3 always has enough players to jump straight into matches, and is still a blast.

Going back to older titles is even fruitful: Modern Warfare 2 claims to have no players, yet still loads matches with no problem whatsoever - albeit you'll encounter a few hacked matches here and there.

Elsewhere, Gran Turismo 6 still stands as a fine example of online racing as there's yet to be a Gran Turismo come out on PlayStation 4 in the form of GT Sport, due sometime this year. And this conversation wouldn't go anywhere without the all-singing, all-dancing multiplayer title Grand Theft Auto V.

Whether you're into racing, team deathmatches or simply goofing around in an open world, GTA V has you covered and will be running for a long time yet - even though the DLC has moved exclusively to Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The PlayStation 3 was designed to have a long life as its predecessor did and there's life in the old dog yet. Here's to a few more years of gaming glory!
