More proof that Dony *could* develop something like this. I know it’s running on a beefy PC, but hey I would love to go back and play some of my PS3 games on a PS4. However, I am still happy to boot up my nostalgic PS3!

gangsta_red2410d ago

Agreed, it's definitely possible for some sort of emulation to run PS3 games. I'm sure if Sony spent the time, their technical wizards could come up with something. But then that would cut in to re-master/re-release sales, so that could also pose a problem.

LoveSpuds2410d ago

It has nothing at all to do with eating into the profit margins of remasters, it is purely down to economics. The cost of developing a software solution to enable PS3 games to run on PS4 cannot be justified, it really is that simple.

gangsta_red2410d ago

"PS3 games to run on PS4 cannot be justified,"

I think it can, especially when there has been remasters and re-releases through out this whole gen. The interest for nostalgic gaming is popular with the examples of the recent mini consoles, and the announcement of a PS1 mini. There has been nothing but requests from gamers for Sony to offer anything (especially from PSNow) to bring back PS3 games playable on PS4.

If this team from the article can spend time making PS3 games work, i'm sure a dedicated team from Sony could definitely get something together and work.

DafunkyRebel2410d ago

It’s not like they don’t want to but the investors are against it and since the law prevents them from going against investors there’s really nothing they can do

Mr_Writer852410d ago (Edited 2410d ago )

How is this proof?

Those specs are no where near a PS4.

If they get these games running as they did (or better) on a PC with similar specs to PS4 that would be proof.

But why would Sony develop a PS3 emulator on PS4 that the PS4 can't run?

"Agreed, it's definitely possible for some sort of emulation to run PS3 games."

Link? Or are you making stuff up?

Sony have said they couldn't do BC due to the cell, the fact that a PC with 5GHZ CPU and 16GB Ram struggles how do you expect a PS4 with 8GB Ram and 1.6GHZ CPU to run PS3 games flawlessly would cope?

Shineon2409d ago (Edited 2409d ago )

Ok now explain why PS4 is the only PlayStation that isn’t BC with original Ps One.

Mr_Writer852409d ago

@shineon

I don't know. Most likely a business choice.

CanadianTurtle2410d ago

It's runs like shit. Not to mention that they're probably playing on a beast PC.

LucasRuinedChildhood2410d ago

It does run like shit but recent videos of this game being emulated were basically a slideshow (probably around 5 frames per second and sometimes less). This actually is a huge improvement.

GabrielBRLIVE2410d ago

For now. Emulation is all about improvement. Take a look at Cemu for instance.

ProjectVulcan2410d ago

I remember when PCSX2 ran like shit. The fact it ran any PS2 games at all was pretty incredible. Now you can run the vast majority of PS2 games extremely well, far beyond what a PS2 could ever dream of. It's a fantastic way to play the old PS2 collection.

People are blase about this PS3 emulator, but to get this level of compatibility already for one of the most complex consoles ever created is INCREDIBLE! It's amazing to even start this tier of software emulation in windows on x86 for a RISC based CELL processor let alone have something running this fast in game play.

Mr_Writer852410d ago (Edited 2410d ago )

"YouTube’s ‘GrayT!’ has used an Intel Core i7 8700k at 5.0Ghz with 16GB DDR4 in order to run it at around 14-20fps."

I'm not the most technical minded person, my understanding of how this sort of thing works is pretty limited.

Yet I'm pretty sure if a PC like this is struggling than a PS4 (1.6GHZ and 8GB Ram) wouldn't be able to run these games, no matter how good your team is.

It's like suggesting you could run Crysis at full settings on an Apple 2.

But yeah it's NOTHING to do with technical specs, the experts who everyone says could do this have said they can't, but according to some guys on the internet it can be done and Sony are just evil and greedy.

LucasRuinedChildhood2409d ago (Edited 2409d ago )

I'm a reasonable man. PS3 emulation on PS5? I know the CELL architecture is causing a lot of issues but a man needs his PS3 games.

Also, last week emulation of this game was a literal slideshow and now we're at 14-20fps. We'll see further progress. These guys aren't even being paid to engineer a solution.

stuckNhere4Good2409d ago

PS3 on PS5 is reasonable; and your reasonable request will most likely be granted for the reason I said in this thread... https://n4g.com/news/220886...

XxExacutionerxX2410d ago

It’s terrible that rockstar never released this on pc, and the only way to play this, is in a way that is free. Does rockstar not want money, a lot of people would have bought this game on pc, including me. Even though I have this on Xbox.

LucasRuinedChildhood2409d ago

The game suffered from a bad case of spaghetti code. The game devs probably crunched enough to get that game working on PS3 and the 360. If you asked them to port that game to PC, Rockstar would probably have needed to install nets around the buildings.

It's a shame but I think it's fairly safe to say that RDR2 will be coming to PC at some point though.

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz14986d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga86d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero85d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga85d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g86d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor85d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos86d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv7286d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos86d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel198985d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv7285d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.

I love the Steamdeck, it's pretty great, also amazing that we can carry a handheld computer around that can play so many games.
