Back in August, we informed you about Metal Gear Solid 4 running on the PC via the Playstation 3 emulator RPCS3. And today, we are happy to report that the game is fully playable on a custom version of RPCS3, from start to finish.

Furthermore, the game’s performance has been significantly improved. While there are still some drops below 60fps in some scenes, most of the game can now run with 60fps. For comparison, the original PS3 version is running at 30fps. Moreover, this custom version of RPCS3 fixes numerous bugs and glitches.

What this ultimately means is that PC gamers can fully enjoy Metal Gear Solid 4. In fact, PC gamers can run the game with much better performance than what Konami and Kojima originally offered. And this right here is why emulators are so important, even for newer consoles like the PS3.

In case you’re wondering, yes; you can download right now this custom version of RPCS3 and play the game. You can do so from here. Make also sure to have the latest PS3 system software update that you can download from here.

Have fun everyone!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
