PI Writes:
"As a downloadable title -- and one that's a steal at $20 -- Wipeout HD sets the bar for both quantity and quality. First, it's gorgeous. When you think of downloadable games, you're probably programmed to think of new-school 2D platformers or straight-up retro ports -- neither of which push the hardware. Prepare to have your expectations shattered when you first glimpse Wipeout HD's high-tech menus, comprised of sleek tabs superimposed against a sweeping 3D wire-frame racetrack undulating in the background. When you finally take to the tracks themselves, it's immediately apparent -- from a visual standpoint -- that these aren't merely the PSP tracks pumped up to 1080p. Everything, from the track detail to the ship designs to the little pilots in the cockpits, has been reworked from the ground up to take full advantage of the hardware. The action moves so fast that you'll rarely have a chance to scrutinize the game's every detail, though you'll be able to do so postrace via the game's Photo mode; this allows you to position the camera and adjust lighting, contrast, and aperture (and enhance other visual effects), and you can download the resulting shot to your PS3 as high-res wallpaper or even e-mail it to your friends. The fact that everything moves at a blistering 60 frames per second, even in the 8-player online mode, helps keep your mind on making the synaptic, instinctive reflex decisions necessary to stay at the head of the pack."
Will we ever see more of Sony’s futuristic racing franchise?
DSOGaming writes: "It appears that the best Playstation 3 emulator that is currently under development, RPCS3, received a new update recently. kd-11 has implemented new Surface Cache fixes to RPCS3 that reportedly improve the appearance of car reflections in Gran Turismo 6, and fix various graphics glitches in other games."
If someone out there in internet land could make a decent PS3 emulator imagine what Sony could actually do if they put the time and effort in to make this happen for their next console?
It's definitely not impossible as we can see here. It should definitely be done since BC seems to be very important to Sony this next gen. Imagine PS+ free game offerings from Sony that could include the whole catalog from the PS console family..fantastic.
Racing games should be some of the easiest to emulate and they're still not hitting 60fps with it, to say nothing of image flickering and occasional sound issues.
Still gonna be a bit yet before they have it fully up and running, it seems, and even then it may only work for part of the library. :/
Is it possible to have PS3 emulation on PS5?yes depending on what kind of power it really has.
An i7 9700k is no slouch and the PS4 already has a God of War 3 running much better with less
power required because they converted CBE to X86 which is not something you want to be doing in the long run.
What power would be required to play these games emulated at said PS4 version?.
It's not an easy situation Sony themselves created and ultimately I believe they are happy this way because they
want you to use PSNow,that service is why you will not even get it. (let's not forget that it was a huge investment)
Alongside the death of the Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 servers, Sony will be shutting down the online services of three WipEout Games in 2018 for PS3 and Vita.
How's this even possible? I thought Sony didn't have dedicated servers according to a certain crowd?
Damn even the Vita gets hit?
Reminds me of the 6th console gen when tons of servers for awesome games got shut down anywhere from 2 to 4 years after they initially launched.
Better enjoy whatever games' online components you can while you can before they get wiped out of existence.
wish they'd rerelease White Knight Chronicles 2 on PS4 so I can play online again. That game was amazing
Wait! Sony exclusive games had dedicated servers?
Killzone 2 and 3 and now WipEout!
We know Resistance 1-3 had dedicated servers as well as GT 5-6 and MAG and Uncharted 2 and 3 and ao on and so forth.
As far as I know non-dedicated servers cannot be shutdown on Sony platforms until Sony stops hosting the game services on the platform. So when Sony stops supporting matchmaking via PSN on PS3 then those games without dedicated servers will be shut down... I did my research UKRsoldja
