Killzone 2 - 4K before Sony?

 

[Ezquimacore]

The other day I was playing Dante's inferno, the game is actually awesome, and at 4K 60fps looks fantastic. Back then people gave it the finger because it was a GOW clone but the actual game is great.

Loved it

 

[killatopak]

Good. Shouldn’t be long before most of them can be beaten and I can stop resoldering my PS3.

So there is a god!

Is MGS4 playable in HD?

Well, its a middle finger to the book but lets be honest here. The guy was a pompous jerk who vented his frustration with the world by writing hate fics (that people for some reason seem to think is an actual description of the Christan afterlife).

Also, the final levels of the game were seriously disappointing. The other bits were nice though and one of the better GOW clones.

As for RPCS3, Nice work guys. Now its just the hard part of actually making the games playable.

Tbh I didn't care about the story while I was playing, but the gameplay was a fun ride

 

[8BiTw0LF]

RPCS3 is a magnificent emulator

 

[Guilty_AI]

For MGS fans on pc, probably the best way to play MGS3 right now (through the HD collection)




They've also given a solution to pressure sensitive buttons which were an issue in particular here

 

[StateofMajora]

Good stuff. There was a time when nobody would say we could emulate The almighty super perfect Cell.

 

[Flabagast]

Red dead & GTA 5 are running ?

I used RCPS3 to do Nier, Drakengard 3 & demons souls. It was flawless

now we need the english patch for yakuza kenzan

 

[MidGenRefresh]

PlayStation legacy lives on PC.

Amazing work by the dev team.

 

[Guilty_AI]

RDR is, but you'll need a beefy pc and it'll still keep getting drops from 30 fps to the 20s occasionally.

 

[CherryFalls]

Very impressive, well done to all those involved. And this is really the true way to make sure the legacy of the hardware & software can live on forever.

 

[Clear]

Good stuff. There was a time when nobody would say we could emulate The almighty super perfect Cell.

Still taking a shitload of grunt to emulate 15+ year old hardware though.

 

[Dr.D00p]

The new Alder Lake CPU's with a supposedly 40-50% single core IPC increase (over my i9 9900K) & 5.2Ghz clock speeds, Should mean we will finally have a CPU that has the grunt for the most demanding of RPCS3's titles.

My 9900K @5Ghz will often run out of juice in stuff like RDR & The Last Of Us, being unable to maintain their 30fps targets.

 

[spyshagg]

If they could at least figure out how to fix Motostorm games lighting flicker

 

[Portugeezer]

Pretty cool, but didn't MVG mams a vide about why it will be impossible for all games to become playable? I mean, I don't like the idea of impossible, so this is good news.

 

[yurinka]

Good stuff. There was a time when nobody would say we could emulate The almighty super perfect Cell.

It remains being the case. Booting a game doesn't mean it's properly emulated.

Means it boots, but still can crash later even before showing the intro or to have other big issues. Notice over 1100 games (over a third of the total and include the Uncharteds, The Last of Us, GoW games...) don't have the 'playable' status.

 

[mindfreak191]

I'm torn on if I should play through Demon's Souls on rpcs3 or wait for the PC release of the remake since it was part of the Steam leak and they seem to all get confirmed lately?

A lot of the ones you mentioned dont have playable status because they drop to the 20s fps in some scenes. Aside from that, they are usually pretty playable.

Still taking a shitload of grunt to emulate 15+ year old hardware though.

Has always been the case for emulators. We still dont have a proper Sega Saturn emulator.

 

[zaanan]

Sony is becoming Infamous for their Resistance to doing this on PS5, forcing PS3’s to continue to take up so much Dead Space.

 

[SNG32]

Great progress for the emulator especially on complicated hardware like the PS3. I expect emulation for the PS4 will be alot faster since especially with the progress the spine emulator has been making.

 

[PSYGN]

Umm... @3:12 why

 

[ACESHIGH]

RPCS3 mate. I was able to put 100 hours around a year ago with a lowly FX6300. Some drops and soundtracks here and there but very playable. I think there's even a mod to play online.

The original looks great on RPCS3 at 4K 60 FPS. There's even some graphical/lighting mods that make it look even better.

honestly the game on rpcs3 feels great and not date or anything.

 

[Davevil]

Rpcs3 by the way also has the best gui of all emulators

 

[LiquidMetal14]

My processor of choice runs this well I just gloat about it.

Separate from that, great progress continues.

 

[BennyBlanco]

How’s Tokyo Jungle?

 

[WolfusFh]

Eh, if we go by that logic, isn't GOW and every other hack n slash games just DMC clones? I hate this "game clone" label when the game simply share general design similarities.

 

[Knightime_X]

Here's hoping 3D Dot Game Heroes stops crashing eventually!

 

[Ezquimacore]

Ninja Gaiden had a different style, DMC had a different style and GOW had a different style. Dante's Inferno didn't mimic Ninja Gaiden nor DMC.

Yes I know. But it will take a long time for the emulator to mature.

The fact we have even began to see this is impressive, although emulation will never be perfect.

yep

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Nobody said this. See I can do the same thing.

Everyone just agreed it would be a bitch. Which this project shows, it is.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

emulation will never be perfect.

Most games running on FPGA are 1:1

RPCS3, Duckstation, CEMU and Yuzu can run games better than original hardware - and it's only going to get better from here.

 

[AGRacing]

Good. Shouldn’t be long before most of them can be beaten and I can stop resoldering my PS3.

Did you ever try the capacitor replacement ?

 

[Holammer]

Funny how the PS3 and 360 were so complex they got especially tricky to emulate, meanwhile new Switch games get emulated at 8k/60fps right out the gate.

Apparently the architecture of nintendo consoles are all similar between each other so progress is usually much faster, not to mention their hardware is always underpowered which also might make things easier.

Yep, but Switch got nothing in common with the PowerPC used in previous consoles. Instead they went with an incredibly well documented CPU which already had a lot of enthusiasts tinkering with it on the Nvidia Shield.
Turned progress into the emulation equivalent of a speedrun.

"Better" with bugs, you phillistine.

FPGA can get it right a lot, but not always, and rpcs3 isn't that.

 

[killatopak]

I didn’t. I think it’s the first time I heard of that method.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Does it run the ps3 version of retroarch? (Original retroarch)
