Occasionally though, you’ll happen to stumble across an Xbox achievement where you’ll have to bring your A-game. These are the achievements that separate the boys from the men. They require focus, extreme patience and tons of practice and are definitely not for the faint hearted. This list details ten of them."
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.
Twinfinite: "While the hardcore shooters and intense story focused adventure games have an audience, some gamers just want a game to play with friends, having a laugh while they do. If you’re looking for the perfect title to make the most of your controller collection, here’s a list of the best 3 player PS4 games you can buy in 2023."
Also added this month: The Evil Within, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Paradise Killer, Dishonored: Definitive Edition.
Riders republic. Nice. I never bought it but played beta twice. Good fun openworld game.
I have 3 other mates who like playing multiplayer games. Is this something we will all enjoy together?
It’s a really fun game when there’s a lot of people on but the player base dropped a lot compared to launch. This should help increase the amount online drastically.
It’s definitely a - I want to chill with my friends type of game so definitely check it out! Also it’s a huge improvement over Steep
Sounds good. Also, Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC coming a day after. I'll be more likely spending time on that DLC first. But will join when free.
Riders Republic is a ton of fun and one of the best things Ubisoft has done in recent years IMO.
The music and acting are obnoxious, which I just turn down... but it's so much just freeriding mountain bikes or other stuff across the mountains. I haven't played w friends, but I imagine it would be a ton of fun in MP. Very underrated game!
I kept getting caught up in other games so I never got around to buying Doom Eternal. If it's good I'll still buy it so i can keep it. The reboot was awesome, i think i played through it about 5 times, and platinumed it.
Same here, I've had Doom Eternal on my wishlist for a long time. I'm definitely jumping in considering the free PS5 upgrade they released.
It is a lot of fun. First FPS in a while that has really grabbed me. And I love FPS games. C’mon Killzone/Resistance series remasters/remakes/sequels…anyt hing.
I agree , Sony has not produced a single player FPS campaign in about 8 years. I already played DOOM Eternal which was awesome.
A whole lotta Bethesda titles in this lineup
Sackboy also got included as well despite already being as Essential title
Regarding sackboy, you're right... That's confusing. At least wait until it's not in essential, as it's impossible to have extra without essential.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't with that one I think. When a former monthly free game goes into the subscription catalog at a later date it also gets criticism, so may as well just add it straight away for people who don't claim it going forward I guess.
Hopefully the claim on the game counts as a essentials claim so when the game leaves the catalogue it doesn't leave the players library.
I found a similar situation frustrating I played fallout 76 when it was introduced as a premium game a month or so later it was a essentials game and I could not repurchase it so I'll lose the game when it leaves the Library
Spiderman is in the titles leaving Extra in May. Guess 1st party titles aren't guaranteed to stay
That's just the way of subscription services in general, titles come and go, but I'm sure it'll be back. Maybe it's a Quantum Break deal where it's just a license refresh?
It's one of the reasons I fear a subscription/digital only future. I don't want the platforms telling me what I can and can't play at any given time and waiting of tenterhooks for games I actually want to be available.
Oh boy, that's making me want to jump back into Returnal! Not that I'd mind buying the game, love it.
Great Month, own most of them but looking fwd to trying monstor boy, nice sto have EW in my collection now and some wolfeinstein.
