The team behind the best Playstation 3 emulator for the PC, RPCS3, has released a new video, highlighting the performance patches for Gran Turismo 5 and God of War 3.
According to the team, God of War 3 is almost playable on RPCS3 as it almost never crashes and can indeed be finished. With an Intel i9 9900K at 5.0Ghz, PC gamers can achieve 50fps at 1440p. So, while there is still work to be done, you can lock its framerate to 30fps and play this PS3-exclusive GoW game on the PC. Or wait until a newer version manages to run it with 60fps.
Furthermore, a new performance patch for Gran Turismo 5 allows you to unlock its framerate. As such, PC gamers can now run this sim with more than 60fps.
A new graphics patch was also released for The Last of Us that fixes its Bloom effect. Furthermore, an updated version of the MLAA patch for TLoU fixes the green particles.
You can download these graphics/performance patches via RPCS3’s Patch Manager. All you have to do is simply open RPCS3, click “Manage” then “Game Patches”. You can then download the latest patches, and enable the ones you want to use for your game version/region.
Have fun!

“So, while there is still work to be done, you can lock its framerate to 30fps and play this PS3-exclusive GoW game on the PC”
Hell no lol, the game is already running at up to 60 fps on PS3, rather wait until it gets stable instead
On ps3 its mostly 30-45fps barely hitting 50fps
Same for the old ps2 games they were never really hitting full locked 60fps mostly 40-60fps(still better than gow3 on ps3)
For perfect 60fps on those games god of war remastered collection on ps3 for gow 1 and 2(or pcsx2), and for gow3 the remaster on ps4 and eventually rpcs3.
Its been a while since i played but to be honest i seriously doubt that GoW3 ever goes above 35fps on the base ps3, i belieive it acutally goes below 30 a lot specially in some boss fights like in the beggining against Posseidon.
That’s why i’m saying “up to 60”, some of the corridors and map edges can reach 60, but it’s still not a convenient solution to lock it at 30, better wait IMO
All god of wars never ran at 60 in their respective consoles, the next-gen relaunches did.
I know that but a 35-45 range is still better than locking the game to 30
Dude you do know that GoW is 720p on the ps3 right ? I Seriously doubt it ever reaches 45fps trough out it’s gameplay, maybe MAYBe when Kratos is climbing the chain of balance but even then it’s a fraction of the gameplay.
Just check a framerate test of the game on YB and you’ll see, but anyway the whole point of my comment is to say that locking the game to 30 is a big loss, again better wait or lower the res to default
not really, it better to play in locked 30 then in varying FPS. Since GoW3 runs like garbage on ps3 playing in locked 30FPS in 4k is much better then original on ps3 anyway…
Already completed it multiple times on PS3, for this time i’ll wait
I miss the old style gameplay of God of War, modern SONY exclusive games are just last of us clone now a days. its just really pathetic.
I never liked the old God of War games, but I loved the new one. To each his own.
Me too, never liked the old ones and thought I would like the new, because of the new mechanics.
But the game svcks!
Bad lore
Lack of bosses
A Kratos that is as badass as my gramma
SMH
new mechanics? The camera is zoomed in to the shoulder so when attacked from behind the game puts arrows in the screen’s hud to show you where you are attacked from, wtf was wrong with the way the camera was far away in the old games?
Well, the camera angle is part of a new mechanic, like it or not.
And not everyone likes isometric view.
Just saying.
how many people like zoomed in low fov shoulder camera that needs freaking arrows to show you being attacked from the sides?
That’s not the point of this conversation.
All I was saying is that the game changed, and because of that I tought I would like it, since I didn’t like the old ones (never liked hack and slash in general), but I was wrong cause the game is shiet.
Got me now?
yes
as always you have the worst tastes
Well if that formula makes huge sales, of course Sony is going to continue the same path.
same daddy of war is the last of us with swords.
meanwhile now if someone whines on twitter they changed everything.
last of us 2 is a special case they put a synagogue in the game and you cant shoot anything in it but the bad guys are christians…lets see who made the game, all the lead devs are joos.
there were no sjw elements in old games because sjw/woke culture didn’t exist then. Devs didn’t change simply now they are forced to carter to woke crowd that dosnt play games anyway.
As for Soyny your right, they officialy confirmed Sony is now USA company and will support only USA market or maybe not support but everything will be made for woke muricans. PS5 dosnt even have marketing in Japan and most Japanese ppl said they no longer care about Sony as they refuse to play censored games and western AAA garbage.
PS. Horizon was actually good game all in all.
I don’t think it was. Another Witcher and modern AC open world copy with Monster Hunter thrown in.
Nice! Gotta get myself a nice CPU now!
What PC port?
Nice, I might try GT5 soon… I hope it’ll work well with my GT27

is diablo 3 playable yet?
it never will be on emulator just like it never will be pirated on PC, it needs server to run and no pirate group is interested in dealing with that BS. They tried at beginning but it was such mess they gave up.
what in god’s shet are you on about? I have nearly beat it on rpcs3 myself. many people finished it with multiple characters.
are you rytarded?
I cant even get to the boot screen
If your rig is decent maybe you just need to use the proper settings for the game
Base settings with a i53570k gtx 1070 16gb ram, that’s not good enough?
Not really, better wait for more optimizations, but the game should launch, make sure that Write Color Buffers option is activated under the GPU tab, and use the patches under “Manage – Game Patches” there’s an option there to download them if not done yet, but keep in mind that it’s just for experimentation, dont expect any good performance, even the best CPUs on the market struggle on GoW3
There’s no port coming from Soyny. They already disenfranchised God of War IP by making the 2018 reboot, like Halo 5 from MS. They have changed the entire narrative and characters. So they ain’t gonna bring this Brutal Kratos to PC, they want people to forget this era existed.
The only port is RPCS3, it has all the collection total 4 games playable. God of War III & Ascension are the only ones pending, once they are done with them. We got a remastered port to PC for free.
I need to get Ryzen 5900X/5950X for this!
P.S. – My i7-4770K @ 4.30GHz still running strong tho! 😉
Wish someone make Vita emulator…its seems no one interesting.
umm…PSP emulator?
Vita and PSP is different machine. Its like comparing ps2 and ps3…
because you can get vita for few $ and hack it for free…
Maybe you are confusing with Godfall
Tried GOW 3 on a Ryzen 3700x + rx 580 + 16gb and this setup didn’t get me anywhere near the fluid fps from the video. The graphics are a blurry mess and it constantly jumps from 15 to 30 fps. Not to mention tthe host of glitches.
I can appreciate what these devs are doing (for free, too) but there’s atill a long way to go before this is anywhere near playable.
