I never had a PS3 back in the day. I have a PS5 now, and when I was looking at the PS+ packages, I was fascinated by the fact that all the PS3 games have to be streamed. And what’s more, relatively few PS3 games are even on the service. I didn’t realize that the PS3 was such a unique/powerful console, that it still apparently can’t be properly emulated even on a PS5.
I am interested in playing Final Fantasy 13, the Killzone series, Resistance Fall of Man, among others. Looks like a PS3 can be had for about $120 at my local game store.
Do others still have and use their PS3? Does it still connect/interface to Sony’s online service? Like can I still get trophies that connect with my PS account, buy DLC, etc? Or is all that shut down?
I do have an Xbox Series X, so I could play FF13 on there, but none of the other games.
(Hopefully this kind of post is ok here, I know it’s not gaming news, but just trying to not sit and lurk, but actually create discussion)
Do you own a relatively good PC by chance? If you are, you could give the RPC3 Emulator a chance. Its still in development and not everything runs perfect, but if your PC can handle it, it’s a great alternative.
I started Red Dead Redemption on the PS3 and switched to RPC3 a while after, it had better FPS while having a better resolution.
I do own a PC, I don’t know if it qualifies as good or not. It has integrated AMD graphics, but it’s actually a pretty good little card (Ryzen 5 5600G). I’ll see how it runs the emulator. 🤞

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

This is the way!
