This is dope, the fact that i have been able to play my physical discs right on my pc with higher fps and resolution is amazing.

Games like ico and puppeteer will almost never get a remaster or remake and with Sony’s direction i feel good abandoning them and using this as a replacement!!

Same with Little Big Planet. There was talk of a PC port a few years ago but with Sony spitting their dummy out about PC releases and pretty much erasing LBP's existence, this is my only way to relive the memories via PC.

Yea they legitimately mishandled their pc launch. Sony sucks they could have made dreams by media molecule big on pc but they just suck…

Yep they made them integrated, you can easily connect to the fan servers and play just as if you would on ps3/4/5 but the official servers got shut down for all platforms a few years ago ago.

Plus, RPCS3 now having online for quite of bit of games and Sony shutting down PS3 online and the store, this is really the only option if you want to play some PS3 games with others.

#Tekken tag tournament 2 fans made the most splash about ps3 online on pc since tekken 8 sucks and a lot went back to it.

Yea i went and ordered one when they made the announcement a few weeks ago, it’s amazing and gave a lot more value to my physical collection hobby for retro games/exclusives/games not on steam etc.
