Is PS3 GTA V UNPLAYABLE In 2026? – Part 2



🎉 DARKVIPERAU’S $6,767 USD GTA 6 GIVEAWAY! Enter here:
GTA 6 is coming and I’m marrying the love of my life! Obviously one of those is more important, but both deserve celebrating. 🙂
I’m giving away $6,767 USD to six lucky winners! Five will receive $1,128 USD each, and one will receive $1,127 USD.
Put it towards a PS5 Pro and GTA 6, or spend it on whatever you want. Good luck!

I’m back on the original 2013 PlayStation 3 release of GTA V to finish the story the way launch day players saw it, on a controller at 720p and 30 FPS. Between Blitz Play, the Merryweather Heist, the Bureau Raid and the Big Score, I’m testing which of my PC speedrun strats and glitches actually existed back then, and running into bugs I’ve never seen in new gen. With GTA 6 around the corner, every missed shot on this controller feels like a preview of what’s coming.

  1. i've scaled aim assist to maximum value, and hated myself. looking back at this blurry 500px mess its a miracle i played through the whole game on a fat PS3 at all 😀

  2. Auto aim only aims at the chest of enemies, so if you simply shoot as it aims, it's slower to kill the enemy. You can push the right joystick a little bit and it will headshot easily. For me it's easier than mouse

  3. 23:20 I can't disagree with this point more, people these days are total god damn snowflakes about what is in games today. In Portal 2, the player is constantly called fat by the antagonists of the story and back then it was just funny but if that was released today it would've got cancelled on launch.

  4. They don't have to "accomodate" controller players. Controller players who have only known controller can play perfectly fine. Just how a controller player might struggle on m&k but an m&k user will say just how easy it is

  5. Did more comparisons between the PS3 and Xbox360 version. I didn't get fading to black when activating cutscenes on my Xbox360, so not sure what could cause it on your PS3. Michael's face in prologue looks more like he's actually sweating when he gets his mask removed. The hand break is on A for Xbox360 ( A = X on PS3) instead of the right bumper ( R1).

  6. Trevor can record videos with his phone because he has a Windows Phone… I know most people never used them, and thought they were bad, but I used them…
    Among other things they were among the first phones with QI charging (not even called that yet), OLED displays, they had crazy hardware requirements from Microsoft, and outperformed most other devices. They also had dedicated camera button. And when docked gave you the full Windows Desktop.
    They were honestly really good phones, and only died because Microsoft bought the phone line form Nokia to try and sell themselves, but upon learning that the profit margins were tiny, Microsoft discontinued them.
    But yes… Trevor's Windows phone can record video while all those iFruit phones cannot.

  7. FYI, in the time period of the PS3… Most laptops and systems using a 2.5" HDD came with a Toshiba, they were inexpensive because they were common, they weren't bad… but because of this mass use in pre-built systems, they also have abnormally high failure numbers. That said, you can just drop in a SSD, the console should format it and use it… BUT, the console uses SATA2.
    SATA speeds are:
    SATA1 = 150mbps
    SATA2 = 300mbps
    SATA3 = 600mbps
    Basically everything now is SATA3, and SATA4 was never created because HDDs and Optical drives can't even use the speed of SATA3, and SSD's basically abandoned SATA for performance uses.
    Performance increases by dropping a SSD into a PS3 will vary by game, but GTAV is a game that heavily uses the internal storage to load assets.

  8. I’ve been playing GTA, like many of us, with a controller since 2001. They are literally console-first games. You have to play them with a controller if you play these games on launch. GTA (and pretty much every Rockstar title) is such a natural controller-based game that even when they finally arrive on PC (same goes for RDR, Bully, Manhunt, etc), I still play them on controller first. All the games on keyboard/mouse suffer from the same design issue where they feel like controls that were mapped manually in an emulator. Especially when you are driving a car. I prefer having the trigger that lets me control the speed.

    Also “I think I prefer the PS3 controller to the PS5” You would not be saying that if it was a first generation Sixaxis PS3 controller lol. The launch ones were awful lol. They were cheap, weighed like nothing, had no vibration and you can literally see through the handles. They were borderline translucent, especially with no vibration.

  9. is it just me or is the editing a little too much? feels like its meant for youtube shorts where it caters to short attention spans lol, seems weird for a 2 hour long video and the constant zooming gives me a headache

  10. the editing is just so smooth and helpful. also i can just tell matto is probably going to be a good dad one day. when he does that annoying voice and he knows its annoying, thats dad energy imo.

  11. xbox controler layout is so much more comfortable in your hands, makes pressing everything much better, including pressing in for power, was never an issue to spam in and out of it for me on 360

  12. If you want, I will send you a RGH Xbox 360 so you can do a playthrough on that console afterwards. I have 4 of them and will even install an SSD for you.

  13. I'm not looking forward to hearing you constantly bitch about having to use a controller when playing GTA 6 on PS5 because honestly if you have trouble with that controller you may wanna take a look at your skills… mouse and keyboard is too easy. Try harder like normal people.
