“Here is Uncharted running on RPCS3 with almost perfect visuals“

All while running at a smooth 10fps.

You're so ignorant you completely miss the point as to why people make emulators.

GamesMaster19822534d ago

Yeah to rob the fuck out of the devs. You can say what you want but 9 out of 10 people who use emulaters are stealing games fact !.

n1kki62533d ago

@gamesmastee1982 to fuck devs out of money for games that are not sold or published any more. Please explain? Im sure as hell elmulation exists so i dont need to spend say $250 for a copy of earthbound on snes. The emulatir development needs to happen at some point. Its going to be even more beneficial for optical sytems that start to die.

getbacktogaming2533d ago

I have a Wii at home with the original Mario Galaxy... I would be very happy to buy a Switch port from Nintendo but until that happens I would rather play the game in 4K (instead of native 480i). If you have never seen the work that's been done by fans on the HD textures, wow a true work of love for Nintendo games!!

Cmv382533d ago

Why not just buy a PlayStation or ps4?

Clunkyd2533d ago

@narsaku
Think next time before typing. LMAO

DarXyde2533d ago

For rare games, sure, why not. But for acclaimed games like Uncharted that you can easily find and that you can also play on PS4? No, I don't think that's okay. Let's not pretend there are benign intentions here. Dreamcast had a huge piracy problem where people bought the hardware and burned the games WHILE it was still active and receiving games.

Lol I think that you're looking at it with tunnel vision, failing to realise that if an emulator can get to the point where it can run demanding PS3 games well, it'll also reach maturity where it can run the majority of PS3's games very well.

You know, the 95 percent of PS3 games that don't work natively on PS4 and most likely won't with PS5 either? Fancy 4K 60FPS Metal Gear Solid 4? I know I do. It's likely only ever gonna happen this way.

It preserves the legacy of the games without the need for the original hardware cluttering up the place. One machine to rule them all, as PC really is.

So one machine to play PC games, PS3, PS2 and PS1 games, Switch and Gamecube games, Dreamcast, Snes and Megadrive games, defunct arcade boards and ultra rare home consoles etc etc....PC gaming is the greatest platform on the planet for games.

DarXyde2533d ago

I think if emulation is not going away, it should be like some of the older Saturn emulators where you need the disc in your PC. I do not support roms, since that's just lost revenue. People need to be careful because they risk really destroying the industry. Games have not increased in price and developers need to do more to secure profits. Ultimately, that may mean less exclusives, greater emphasis on digital only titles, more DLC and microtransactions, etc.

Playing an older game at 60fps and 4K sounds great, but let's not screw developers in the process.

babadivad2533d ago

If history shows us, that won't be the case forever.

ginsunuva2532d ago

Why is everyone here getting so defensive? Do they feel intimidated by the progress the emulators are making?

Relientk772534d ago

Why is it running at like negative 5 fps

john22534d ago

Give it time, it's pretty difficult emulating PS3. A couple of months ago it was running with 1-2fps. Now it runs - at least most of the time - with 10-15fps. It's a huge improvement.

GamesMaster19822534d ago

Yeah you right by 2080 it might run at 25fps

Smok912533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

I play my games at 60-120 FPS so count me out

sizeofyou2533d ago

@Smok91
Not through RPCS3 you don't... 🙃

ProjectVulcan2533d ago (Edited 2533d ago )

I would bet that most PS3 games will run playable and smooth within 18 months. If the project has momentum and garners interest from more programmers it will get refined and completed.

I so badly want MGS4 in high resolution! That game only ran 1024 x 768 natively on PS3 then stretched and scaled (yes really, google it yourself) with a really shonky ~20FPS frame rate often times. I would be happy with just native 1080p and 50+ FPS. It would be marvellous to behold.

Zelda BOTW emulation went from barely reaching the main menu, struggling and stuttering on uber machines to smooth playability in 1080p on average PC hardware in less than 12 months. Supporting high resolutions and frame rates the Switch could only dream of. It was a focused effort, but this type of thing is a continual refinement.

Its a very small group, and I think only 1 person does majority. Might just be in their spare time as well.

Vegamyster2533d ago

The cell processor, PS4 emulation will probably be perfected long before PS3 is lol.

PrinceOfAnger2534d ago

They will fix everything in the end and the game will run at 60fps same with other exclusives

IamTylerDurden12534d ago (Edited 2534d ago )

But Drake's Fortune via The Nathan Drake Collection already runs at 60fps on my PS4. It has reworked visuals and controls along with a photomode. Blue Point nailed the remaster, it will undoubtedly be the best version for quite a while.

Icarusfall2533d ago

And it cost just 7.99 for 3 games. Ouch, PC master race dont have PS4. Sad life indeed.

nowitzki20042533d ago

@Icarusfall Cant buy PS4 if you buy PC or something? Whole lot of benefits to emulators.. like possibility of mods for games, improving visuals and so much more.

bluefox7552533d ago

Yep, maybe by the time PS6 is here, we'll be able to play PS3 games on top end PC CPUs.

MuddyWaters2533d ago

Maybe when the PS5 comes out we will be able to play PS1 games on it too.

mkis0072532d ago

better off trying with the ps4 remaster...It will be the best version even when the ps3 emulator works properly.

narsaku2534d ago

So much talent in the emulator crowd, can't believe they're getting PS3 finally up and running so well. Can't wait to see some performance passes >:D

ILostMyMind2533d ago

So, is this the $ 1000 Master Race Experience?

Prince_TFK2533d ago

At least they got the emulator to run. I don’t see a PS3 emulator anywhere on the PS4.

Jrios3552533d ago

@Kun_ADR

Why would we need a PS3 emulator on PS4 when we can just play the same game on PS3? Plus, it's been a decade since the PS3's release. It's cheaper now, so it's a lot more affordable to just buy one instead of waiting for what could probably be years for PS3 emulators to run games at their intended level.

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

UC 2, 4, 3 and 1. Great read and article

ABizzel11369d ago

No Golden Abyss -_-, otherwise I agree with the order.

UC2: Best overall
UC4: Best graphics, best gameplay, best locations, best environements
UC3: Best set pieces IMO (the boat and desert fights will always be amazing)
UC1: A rough Draft of what was to come
UCGA: Basically UC1 on Vita

Levii_921370d ago (Edited 1370d ago )

Great list and great article nicely writen and explained. Although for me personaly i would put Drakes Fortune above Drake’s Deception and Uncharted 4 is absolutely my favourite of the franchise and number 1 for me.

Inverno1370d ago

U2 is the only game playable on crushing without causing a great amount of frustration. Not to mention just how much influence it had that they redid some of U2s set pieces like the caravan twice, and armored truck chase in U4.

DFresh1369d ago (Edited 1369d ago )

I'd rate it as the following.

1.) Uncharted 2
(Close to perfection of any game I've played in years. Single Player/Multiplayer/Co Op all amazing.)

2.) Uncharted 3
(On par with UC2 multiplayer/co op wise minus the kickbacks [aka killstreaks]. I really liked the Lawrence of Arabia story.)

3.) Uncharted 4
(Single player is amazing. Multiplayer was meh. Co Op had potential. Absolutely hated the health revive system it slowed down the game way too much. Always preferred the fast pace action of UC2/UC3. Made it way more fun that way. Recoil was too ridiculous that most people in lobbies would only do hip firing, using power weapons and using that OP grappling hook to melee people after dropping them. Nobody wanted to revive anyone.)

4.) Uncharted
(It's the first in the series so it's hard to judge. Though I loved the story.)

NecrumOddBoy1369d ago

I agree here but it’s also a series you can play from front to back and truly enjoy. Story-wise, they are all great and flow so well. I wish they threw both Golden Abyss and Lost Legacy on this list. Lost Legacy is the best mechanically in my opinion. You can see it’s stepping stone framework for TLOUS2.

Michiel19891369d ago

uncharted 2 is one of the few games that actually surpassed its pre-release hype.

medman1369d ago (Edited 1369d ago )

I am a single player gamer...I barely ever touch a multiplayer component. The only exceptions over the years have been the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, TLOU factions, and the Uncharted 2 multiplayer. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer saw me spend more time playing it than all my other multiplayer experiences over the years combined. That game really was a masterpiece all around.

brando0081369d ago

I agree completely, those are all stellar MP experiences, coming from another SP gamer who only occasionally gives MP some time.

Gardenia1369d ago

Come to think of it, the step between Uncharted 1 and Uncharted 2 is huge. It goes from the weakest in the series to one of the best games ever made.
I think I'm going to play all of them again soon.

Ninver1369d ago

Yeah all of a sudden I've got that Uncharted itch.

Michiel19891369d ago

is multiplayer still up for the remastered trilogy? or did it never have UC2 mp?

Ninver1369d ago

@michiel1989

Not sure
