I completed MGS 4 in March on RPCS3 and it was great. This emulator is insane.

[JasonLihani]

It's always so insane that these are just little side projects for the devs. I love this community.

Hey MVG i just wanted to mention that some people made a custom online server for gran turismo 6 and it's crazy to play it again online on real hardware i think it can also be compatible with rpcs3 so that's nice to get 16 people racing clean !

Holy shit, I remember when I never expected RPCS3 to run games so smoothly at 4k, let alone to support savestates

[TravisStamper]

Love RCPS3. Been using it since back in the beta days. Grown a lot since I started using it.

[jdthompson]

I was actually interested in your specs. Could you please put them in the description like you mentioned? Thanks.

Yep played through the entirety of Demon's Souls with a fairly weak laptop back in 2019. It's really amazing.

Been using RPCS3 to run Midnight Club: Los Angeles and the various Ratchet and Clank games recently, and it's so great to see these games without the low res limitations. I think Tools of Destruction's visuals still hold up at 4K despite originally rendering at an upscaled 640p. My 5800X seems to struggle with Motorstorm Pacific Rift, but it seems to get a little better with every update. Also, it seems like every time I open up RPCS3 there's a new version to download, so clearly the devs are very active!

I'm delighted to see GT6 running so well on the emulator. With GT Sport and 7 being online-focused, GT6 may be the last Gran Turismo ever to have a full-fledged, flexible career mode. Kaz and his team have since shifted their aspirations to online esports, making Sport and 7's single player modes feel watered down.

[MikhailKutzow]

Really excited to hear they're making progress. MGS4 is one of the games I (and no doubt many others) am most looking forward seeing them get running. Also hoping to be able to play the PS3 Armored Core titles on this someday. These people are doing something insanely impressive with this emulator.

This emulator is very CPU bound, unlike Xenia Canary which is more GPU bound but im so glad we gave fully functional emulators for all 7th gen consoles.

I use a 12100F and 3060 Ti SFF build. It outperforms the PS3 itself and many of the ones under 'Ingame' are surprisingly playable. Also, for anyone wondering about how other specs might stack up, there's an RPCS3 CPU Tier List on the subreddit. It's a Google doc - if you search for it, you'll find it.

Thanks for covering RPCS3. Really love and admire these guys. Played Demon's Souls like half a year ago on it, for the first time since playing it on my fat ps3 back in like 2011 or something, and I was stunned at how amazing it performed and looked. These guys deserve all the positive attention and support that they can get.

My first experience with RPCS3 back then that made me in awe was ability to play After Burner Climax, then Army of Two, and then Motorsport pacifi rift

[trinitybingham]

It's amazing they were able to keep this going and improve it as far as they have. I loved infamous, and this makes it plausible to play it again without having to buy a PS3.

[RuffDestroyr]

I love rpcs3. I was playing Shadow of the Colossus at 100 fps. It was such a unique experience

[conza]

Gran Turismo 5 and 6 is where I'm at, I'm really pleased to see the progress of this emulator. I'm one of the people who don't want the newer GTS or GT7 games because of online issues, other problems. My next PC I want to buy when I can do, 4k60 or maybe 4k120 in GT5 GT6, I don't mind graphical issues at all, just smoothness of play, probably even 1440p60 would be quite an improvement over original hardware.

[DarshUK]

MGS4 is one of the only MGS games I’ve not completed because my blu ray had a tiny scratch on it and couldn’t play past a cutscene about halfway through the game.

What these people are doing is incredible and significantly better for people like me who want to legally emulate something instead of paying for PS Now or a “remaster” when I already bought the original years ago! Great vid too

[andresbravo]

More improvements means more playable games.
