It is Friday, and there is no better way to spend the weekend than playing a new release, or continuing a game that you’ve been playing for a while. Either way, it is time for Weekend Gaming.
Richard Leadbetter - "The first PlayStation 3-emulated game running on PlayStation 5 is here, and it's not a title you might have expected. Cloudberry Kingdom - originally developed by Pwnee Studios in 2013 - is a procedurally generated platform game that launched for PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Wii U. Out now in Asia courtesy of RedoApps, and set for imminent release in the Western market, the package ships with native PS4 and PS4 versions, along with a bonus: the original PS3 release is included, running under emulation on PS5."
Wait… are we not making a big deal out of this? If ps5 can get ps3 emulation working and they already have been getting ps1, psp and select ps2 titles. If they are able to give us access to all of our purchased ps3 titles like… the library immediately becomes insane for most of us.
PS5 is EASILY capable of emulating PS3. Sony just doesn't want to do it. They'd rather sell you full price upscaled "remasters".
Depends on the game, to be honest. There's a ton of work by the community to make specific games work and it's not that easy nor does it have the greatest results. I'm not saying Sony couldn't do about half of the PS3 games without too much work, but there's a ton of work to get it to 100%.
that is not the problem....the problem is that ps3 uses cell architecture which apparently is a pain to emulate
I would pay for a scaled remastered WARHAAAWK or SSSSSSSTARHAWWK hell I would pay full price for any of them.
Thats where youre a bit off. Follow PS3 emulation on PC.... more intense games take much more intense power to smoothly emulate. Yes they CAN emulate PS3 but comparing that game to something like Uncharted or Motorstorm or MGS4 is not apples to apples in terms of the power needed.
My year and a half old relatively inexpensive laptop can emulate nearly any PS3 game at 1440p/60. The only reason the PS5 doesn't have PS3 emulation is money and lawfair.
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Can't wait to play Saints Row IV!
