Support NeoGAF

[Callo Merlose]

Yes! That was it. I didn't think it was that terrible, especially for being a free game.

It's not a free game. It was included in some bundles, but yeah. I played too much of this game.

 

[Mike M]

Last night I had a great session of games on Street Fighter 3rd Strike : Online Edition. I rarely played the same person twice. This is a huge surprise, as the game took a nose dive out the gate for its poor online implementation. When the patch came out, people said "too little too late", but they're wrong. Lots of people playing.

Anyone like to suggest other older/written-off games that still have a very active online community?

Are there patch noted of what was fixed?

Do options finally effect Arcade mode?

I don't remember all the fixes. All I know is that matchmaking works, and a green bar means a good connection 99% of the time.

 

[Danny 117]

Halo Wars is still pretty active despite being 3 years old and a console RTS. I still see an average of around 5k people on every day!

 

[SarcasticD]

Is Uno still active?

"Unexpected" kind of a given regardless, though.

I know the PS3 version is not active at all. Occasionally, you'll get a random person or 2.

I don't know if it's unexpected but Fat Princess is still active even though it has slowed down recently.

 

[AlimNassor]

cant speak to any games currently, but on the original xbox Crimson Skies and Rainbow Six 3 had a very active community well after release, even long after Halo 2's release

I don't remember Crimson Skies having an active community. I loved the game, but, never found any matches and that pissed me off so much.

 

[get2sammyb]

Warhawk, Home

Yeah, Home is a beast. For the amount of stick it gets on here and around the web, that place is a constant hive of activity every time I log on.

 

[TheMan]

i never owned crimson skies but i did rent it and had a lot of fun playing it online. is there anything close to that on 360?

 

[Ash Sparrow]

my group of 3 plays Uno, we never get anyone on video tho.

 

[Elfish]

Does anyone still play Sensible World of Soccer on XBOX Live?

 

[-MikePriester-]

Snoopy Flaying Ace apparently. It's actually pretty good. Not that I've bought it myself (busy with other games) but the trial was really good.

yeah...the only problem with snoopy flying ace is that it features snoopy

but i'll give it a shot i guess

 

[RustyNails]

I'm the only guy who plays Dead Nation it seems. I never find a partner. So sad

 

[JaseMath]

CoD4 is still alive and kicking on PSN.

 

[Boss Man]

Resistance 1 had like 20 servers up on Sunday afternoon

Whoa, I need to get that game back. Are the ranked/normal servers still running?

 

[ronito]

Last I checked Wipeout was still rather active.

Issue is that everyone that still plays is incredible at it and will destroy your ass. So it might as well not be active.

 

[Atolm]

Wipeout got a revival after the PSN debacle.

 

[N4Us]

Still random guys on Doom XBLA every now and then.

SF2: HDR is still very active too.

 

[bjork]

I've got a handful of old 360 games I try and find players for, but it never happens. SFII Hyper, Switchball, Crackdown 1, etc. So many multiplayer achievements gone unachieved.

 

[Noisepurge]

This, I was like I might be the only one... Nope, I went HOLY FUCK!, How is this even possible?

Games that are not even a year old, are barren/dormant, UT3 still kicking LOL

people want to play with keyboards and mice on the console!

 

[specialguy]

Black Ops still has an active community.

 

[sublimit]

Tekken 5 DRO.
Although it's not so unexpected since it's still the best Tekken of this generation.

 

[Brimstone]

Shadowrun XB360 is still active, and I've also heard that people still play the demo.

 

[TheSeks]

CoD4 is still alive and kicking on PSN.

But filled with hackers.

This, I was like I might be the only one... Nope, I went HOLY FUCK!, How is this even possible?

Doesn't hurt it has Keyboard/Mouse support and light mod support.

Too bad those mods kick the trophies off though. Had to spend three years since they introduced the trophies to off and on play UT3 to platinum and I got sick of base deathmatch.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Shadowrun XB360 is still active, and I've also heard that people still play the demo.

I got a Vista copy for $1.00 so I logged in to get other people cheevos that are for playing with a PC player. Forgot how much fun it was.

 

[Cels]

Burnout Paradise PSN (released over four years ago)

 

[Interficium]

Burnout Paradise PSN (released over four years ago)

Man I feel old.

 

[Qasiel]

The last time I logged into Singularity (PS3) online there were a few people playing. Not many, but still a few. Probably trying to get that platinum trophy, which is the stuff of nightmares.

5 year anniversary at the end of the month.

 

[ihearthawthats]

i've been meaning to beat this since i got it free during the psn blackout, but meh. if you want to add me to run through the campaign mode, my psn is: ihearthawthats.

 

[disappeared]

After all these years, GTAIV still holds a really high up spot on the Xbox Live activity list.

The car races can be ridiculously fun. Change up the vehicle list and it gets even crazier.

 

[chixdiggit]

Shadowrun XB360 is still active, and I've also heard that people still play the demo.

That game is so underrated. It always amazed me how many people play it considering it bombed sales wise.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

If it was $40 brand new or $30 for download it would have been a huge success. The $60 retail price killed it before it launched.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Just for shits and giggles about a week ago at my friends house I made him connect his PS2 so I can play Socom 2 online and was very surprised to see over 100 people still playing.

Spoiler

I know, not PSN or XBL.

 

[fernoca]

Halo Wars is still pretty active despite being 3 years old and a console RTS. I still see an average of around 5k people on every day!

Was just going to say this one.
Just tried it some moments ago and was surprised that there were 5k+ people playing that moment. Did a quickmatch without much wait too. Heck, I've seen "bigger" releases during launch with 5k people, so it was quite a surprise a console RTS 3 years later with that number.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Warhawk, Home

But Home is a failure, right?

 

[Zee-Row]

I always wonder how Home is such a failure when people constantly use it? It always shows up on a list of things Sony did wrong but it can't be wrong if it gets used right?

 

[Gospel]

Both Rainbow Six Vegas games still have pretty active communities.

No one touches ranked matches tho

 

[Strike]

Burnout Paradise PSN (released over four years ago)

Yeah. Still plenty of matches going on. I managed to get all the online trophies I needed over the last month or so.

 

[likedamaster]

Castle Crashers. Still top 10 on Xbox Live arcade.

 

[Afrikan]

it always scares me when I try to play an online match of some old random game just to see if someone is out there.......and then someone is on the other side.....and I'm thinking, THERE IS ACTUALLY SOMEONE OUT THERE IN THIS WORLD PLAYING THIS RIGHT THIS MOMENT???

 

[Himynameischris]

I believe Fat Princess is still active, which is weird because when it came out it has so many issues a lot of people quit trying.

 

[Rabbit Clock]

About two years ago people (very few) were still playing Prey online... I wonder if there's anyone still playing.

who want's to play Prey?

 

[vatstep]

Marble Blast Ultra was active on XBLA for quite a while. Anyone played it recently? I deleted it a long time ago, but I was surprised at its longevity (and how much dumb fun it was).

 

[likedamaster]

About two years ago people (very few) were still playing Prey online... I wonder if there's anyone still playing.

I do, but didn't they get rid of the servers for online play? I also traded the game. I loved it though.

 

[TheBear]

I believe Fat Princess is still active, which is weird because when it came out it has so many issues a lot of people quit trying.

When I first got this I was amazed that so many people were playing. And then I realised they were all bots

As for Warhawk, I wish the Aussie servers were still active. Goddamn I love that game.

 

[doctordoak]

It's not a free game. It was included in some bundles, but yeah. I played too much of this game.

Aegis Wing? Yes, that was free.

Yeah that was the issue, you could never connect with other people it always placed you with a room full of bots and maybe a few players, by the time they patched it a lot of people had moved on but I read somewhere (IGN?) that Fat Princess was very much still alive and kicking.

 

[Bobs Big Boy]

Lost Planet was always a good surprise for me. One of those games that might've been great more for the community than the game itself. Not sure if people still play, but it was a fun thing while it lasted.

 

[Medalion]

You'd be surprised how much activity COD 3 still gets... no MW, just COD 3
