The development team of RPCS3 has announced that a new high resolution rendering mode will be added to this PS3 emulator in the coming weeks. In order to showcase the visuals improvements, the team shared a screenshot from Demon’s Souls running in native 4K with 16xAF.
This high resolution rendering mode will allow all games to run in higher native/internal resolutions than 720p or 1080p. As such, owners of 4K monitors will be able to run the games at their native resolution, and those with 1080p monitors will be able to downsample them from higher resolutions.
Moreover, NeoGAF’s ‘daitoqu‘ has also shared some screenshots from other games (like Red Dead Redemption, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Persona 5, Dante’s Inferno and Drakengard 3) that are being rendered – via this new rendering mode – in higher resolutions than their native ones.
All screenshots have been resized to 1080p for viewing purposes.
Enjoy!

Suck it console peasants.
But pc has more games, in fact pc has all the games, including the games of other consoles.
And literally none of those games is worth the time it took to type them. There are exponentially better racing games than Gran turismo on PC, including Forza – the last 3 Forza games have been on PC. Uncharted lol no thanks its trash.
lol not only do we get red dead but we got it in 4k now. sony fans butt blasted on the forums i use.
Jeez, is it that important to you to feel better than someone using a PS? It’s extremely immature.
Stating how PS fanboys may behave is not necessarily the same as trying to feel better. fanboys exists on all platforms of course. the issue is supporting illogical exclusives for brag rights. all games should be on all platforms with the exception of first party exclusives or those that won’t work well on certain platforms (like possibly Total War series). rest deserve what they get. those that support illogical exclusives are just betraying themselves tbh.
“sony fans butt blasted” Immature. His comment has nothing to do with what you are chiming in with. You can’t label all PS fans as the same. Or can you? Please tell me if that’s wrong. At least no one here is doing that so.. childish chest bumping. Ignorant.
As for exclusives. Not ideal but it’s business. If you didn’t go through the 16-bit era w/ the SNES vs Genesis, it might be hard to understand that exclusives were what made or sold a console. Even now they’re a thing. Now it’s evolved to companies that often have no reason not to port it to PC, like Rockstar/2K, but it’s still a thing.
Basically.. this is a 14 year old guy w/ an unnecessary vile attitude. Not really mature.
You do yourself a disservice, trying to reason with fools my friend.
Thanks. I do less and less but guess I got bored.
Fallen into that trap many times myself. Enjoy the day.
Clearly you’ve never talked to any console player. They’re 300x worse than that guy.
Have you ever seen how sony fanboys talk? Go to n4g, neogaf, dualshockers, playstationlifestyle.
I have been attacked by those idiots for years and blocked for proving them wrong. So yes, get FFFFFF sonytards. I hope they cry till the end of time. Bunch of entitleted for fanboy corporate slave shills They deserve everything that happens to them.
I just saw how you talk so yes, I’ve seen how a Sony fanboy talks. Lol
Difference being, one uses logic & evidence-backed arguments, whereas the other uses delusional bullsh*t perpetrated by the Sony propaganda machine.
Mate where have you been back in 2011,2012, 2013,2014, that these pages were stormed by console fanboys and were spamming their nonsense for entire weeks. We talking about entire novels of fanboyism.
You’re just being really salty because we run your precious RDR at f*king 4K, we don’t care it took time, we PC players enjoy both recent games and games from before.
It doesn’t run THAT bad, here’s an example: /watch?v=_qrLr95oMcE, but in maybe 6 months or so, it will probably run great.
Exactly, that’s the fine thing about being a PC gamer, so many choices, and if you wait long enough, even greater things and more refined experiences. Besides 8 years is nothing, Crysis was released almost 10 years ago, and not much has happen in terms of graphics. It’s gonna be worth the wait. But the most satisfying part is to crush the console exclusives like this one just because we can.
Yes it does, since we can play with a higher visual fidelity and probably lots of other advantages too. Who cares if console kiddies played it and finished it years ago, that doesn’t have anything to do with the discussion really.
Well but the truth is PC master race is superior, hence more important! 😉
Yeah, well, what can I say; when you get treated like sh*t for years on end by a psychotic industry of sociopaths who can’t even figure out the best, most efficient way to make the most money possible for as long as possible even though you can, while also being distinctly aware that your hardware has far more potential than is actually being used, you end up developing a superiority complex.
What can I say, life’s a b*tch 🙁
Especially when you remember that it’s been almost 10 years since we ripped Gearbox a new one for not having an FoV slider in Borderlands PC, yet we still have to actively shout at developers in order to get them to put in an FoV slider.
D0h.
Tolerance leads to abuse, especially in this industry. Give them an inch, they’ll take a mile.
It may come off as childish, but it’s best to ride these f*ckers hard. Otherwise, you’ll live to regret it one day.
You’re complaining about people “excessively” complaining about the state of PC Gaming. I’m explaining why we’re constantly “excessively” complaining. As for not being better, subjective. I think gaming on a PC is better than gaming on a console & hence, we are by extension better than those who choose to game on consoles.
Yes, we’re also PCMR people, but that’s a separate thing entirely.
I “and many others on this site” think we’re “better than every other gamer”? What? PCMR =/= superiority complex over everyone, it just means we think we’re better than those sycophantic little console plebeian sh*ts that ardently defend their sad, pathetic “cinematic” 30 FPS, 720p sh*tboxes & we’ll ardently argue that point until they’ve run out of bullsh*t propaganda to respond to us with.
Beyond that, yeah, I think I have better taste than some people, but that’s neither here nor there. After all, taste is subjective, whereas the hardware superiority of a PC compared to that of even the most recently released &/or upcoming console is just plain fact.
But yeah, we are better people for not limiting ourselves to a ripoff sh*tbox with bad hardware & also plugging our fingers into our ears while screaming LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA at the top of our lungs whenever someone tries to argue that the aforementioned sh*tbox is nothing more than an overpriced joke, yeah.
“Just because you game on a PC does not make you better than a console gamer. It just makes you look sad and pathetic.”
Lol’d. Seriously? Wow…..
“You’ll complain about how fanboys identify themselves to their console choice (ie Xbox or PS) but you do the same with PC.”
One of these has been damaging the video game industry for a decade, now, ever since it became the de facto lead platform. The other has been mocking the living sh*t out of the former, while also coercing Microsoft into stomping their whiney little feet about how much better the PC version of a game looks, so downgrade it, “because platform parity!”
Call it whatever you want, at the end of the day it doesn’t change the fact that PCs have better hardware & as such offer a better experience, ergo, a superior experience – and that’s just plain, pure fact, not some marketing propaganda perpetrated by idiots, paid shills & sycophantic cultists.
I COULD BE MENTIONED ON YOUTUBE? :O

“But the communities attitude can be worse than console fanboys.”
Wrong, PC gamers don’t compare and sh*ttalks other PC gamers setups, we respect eachother on a whole different level. Console fanboys sh*ttalks the other console users and their system counterparts and vice versa in endless flaming wars. So you’re wrong sir.
You got it all wrong when trying to compare the pathetic console vs console flamewars with how PC gamers cry over the console scene as a whole and how it’s ruining the technological, visual and productive progress and advancement of gaming and, frankly, the whole freaking gaming industry in general as well.
We don’t need to feel important and superior, because, we ARE important and superior. Without the PC gaming scene consoles wouldn’t be where they are today. Without PC hardware, consoles wouldn’t exist. Without AMD, Intel, nvidia, no consoles, no handhelds of this margai would exist. A console today is just a midrange PC massproduced with sony and MS contracts to push costs down, with factories in asia to push costs even lower with sh*t salaries and work conditions.
“No. You’re really not”
So we do REALLY NOT have superior hardware and superior graphics? Whew! What a fu*king newsflash for me, am stunned!
It’s not superior for that reason, It was just a response towards why the PC scene is important. You got it all mixed up kid, get your sh*t together if you want to stay in this conversation.
Ugh, that’s because you suck too many conslow donkey dickies plus you don’t have sh*t to back up your silly claims with. You can’t even have a normal conversation, mixing things up, pathetic comparisons, misinterpreting stuff etc etc, you’re completely lost in translation kid. Go f’king cuddle with your plastic box of cheap hardware and leave this place for the real HEROES now.
I wrote that myself as a matter of fact 🙂 Why would i copy/paste? I have all the tools and arguments I need for a discussion like this, unlike you.
Oh you want me to clarify? Sure, here we go:
Silly claims: “You’re really not” (your answer to my claim that PC gaming are superior and important) “And now you (and others) are doing a similar thing…” + “Except it runs terribly…” (I provided the intro scene of RDR emulated on a PC running DECENT framerates, (decent is not the same as good or great NOR terrible, and FPS acceptance and ones point of view on playability is very varying from person to person)
Pathetic comparisons: “PC gamers just sh*ttalk other gamers and think they’re better because of their platform. Which is exactly what console fanboys do” + “And now you (and others) are doing a similar thing…”
Misinterpretation: “That’s not what you said at all” (in response to my sarcastic answer earlier) “Just because PC hardware is required for consoles doesn’t make you superior”
Mixing things up: “Just because PC hardware is required for consoles doesn’t make you superior”
Get a clue phaggot!
Yes it does, we’re still important, and we’re still superior 🙂 That post was just to prove my point that you got things mixed up, pull dumb assumptions and get confused a lot.
At least I’ve got valid arguments, you don’t. I don’t really need to prove anything to you since it seem to be a waste of time.
You’re long gone and lost this argue even from the start. You can’t even seem to understand English properly and get confused, which is laughable.
RDR needs shadows dude
Digital Foundry said that Xbox X will also allow to run backward compatible games such as RDR in 4K. Emulation is not so hard even for slow original Xbox One 2013
um, where did they say this? cause I’ve heard absolutely nothing about BC on the xbonex
nevermind him, he’s an Microsoft fanboy who’s plaguing the DSO comment section
just block him and move on
Xbox One has xbox360 emulation, and it works very well (some games runs even better than on xbox360).
Yes I know that, I’ve played several. I’m wondering what his source for the xbonex being able to play 360 games at “4k” is. I’ve heard no mention of BC on the xbonex but I have been curious since it would probably be the best way to play RDR with the boost to performance.
Of course feature like that would be awesome, but let’s be realistic :).
There’s no way Xbox Scorpio will run x360 or even xbox classic games in native 4K, developers would have to rewrite game code for that.
No doubt he means “Microsoft 4K”, which is “True 4K” which is just another way of avoiding admitting that it’s not “Real 4K” but in fact it’s just “Checkerboard 4K”.
Or maybe not. After all, he’s not an official Microsoft advertiser, so it’s not like he’s legally bound to tell the truth.
Xbox x? Oh yeah? With what the power of the cloud?
#neverforgetconsoletardidiocy
True. Quite good app. It is strange that Sony don’t want use this emulator on own PS4 to add backward compatibility with PS3. They should contact with creators of RPCS3 and add it as official PS3 emulator to PS4
It needs waaaay more powerful machine than the PS4, not to mention why would they make the console backward compatible if they can milk people with rerelases, remakes, ramasters?
If sony would want ps3 BC, they would make emu without any problems. Sony build ps3 and knows how each part works, while rpcs3 programmers have to quess. Look at ps2 emu on pc, and it’s still far from perfect. Wrong thumbsticks sensitivity, sound problems, missing effects in hardware mode and although software mode can display missing effects it’s very damanding and on top of that resolution is limited to native 640×480 at best. PS2 emu on PS4 works without any problems because people from sony know how to build ps2 emu correctly.
What’s the use of upping the res if a game like RDR isn’t even playable at the original res? At least…I don’t call 2 to 4 fps playable. I mean literally! Go watch the latest vids on youtube.
last time I saw it,
demons souls ran okay-ish
MGS had a lot of problems
RDR was virtually unplayable
this is poetry
the only thing missing is the online aspect in demon’s souls
it really sucks playing a souls game without online features
though red dead looks about golden to me, if only it ran with a decent FPS…
Because I could play RDR on my Xbox almost a decade ago?
I get what you’re saying, but if I had to wait 10 years for a game to come to PC I’d stick to the console.
Whos preventing that game from running on a pc? Its not the platform now is it?
Graphics do not make the game.
But they make a good game better. The better the graphics the more immersion the player has. More immersion = more enjoyment. Argue against that friend…
I can argue against that.
Many (most) of the games I go back a replay have terrible graphics by today’s standards (Metal Gear, Castlevania SOTN, Mario World, etc). I don’t feel the experience is less fun for the graphics not aging as well as I’d like.
Admittedly, poor performance of a game can break it (frame rate, frame pacing, etc). But textures, resolution, etc. No way.
I’ll take better visuals any day, but at the end of that day, I’ll choose the game with better gameplay every time.
Apples to Oranges. PS3 CPU is actually as strong as the PS4 CPU and it’s not x86. It’s customized Power PC. Cell was a nightmare to develop for, let alone emulate, so it’s very impressive. Wii U is Power PC based as well but really weak. New x86 consoles will be easier to emulate. Too be honest any console not putting their games on PC in the future is doing it wrong. Throwing money away. Nintendo is the only exception because handheld will sell regardless.
This is what I have been waiting for with this emulator. I already own a PS3 so playing games the same way as a standard PS3 held no benefit. Now though… BINGO!
What Gundam game is that?
You don’t understand how these things work. The resolution is based on your GPU (which is hardly being used rendering 720p). The hard work for emulation is on the CPU. That is where your issues are coming from. Rendering at higher resolution is the easy part. The devs. obviously wanted to get the core emulation right first. Now that they are pretty much “there” they can add the bells and whistles. Trust me. With a GTX980M you shouldn’t have any issues going well beyond 720p.
I find it weird demon souls looks better than red dead redemption.
Interesting, because there are people running RPCS3 games quite well on Ivy Bridge i5s. GPU power presently is irrelevant to performance.
I run Persona 5 at 30 fps 720p perfectly on a Xeon X5675 at 4.4GHz and 12GB of RAM.
Dante’s Inferno had a regression with the latest master build. The graphics are still messed up as there are glitches here and there and the yellow tint is still a problem. It also tends to freeze randomly. There’s also the really slow choppy unskippable cutscenes and the audio stutters when framerate drops below 60fps. So I wouldn’t call it playable.
As for what is playable: Catherine, Persona 5, Heavy Rain, Lolipop Chainsaw, Scott Pilgrim, and more are very much playable.
anyone know what the game is from the middle pic?
drakengard 3.
It’s Sp4ctr0, he’s our Friendly Neighbourhood Paid Microsoft Shill; he vomits out ridiculously stupid argument after ridiculously stupid argument backed up by nothing more than blatant Microsoft propaganda, so, yeah, you can definitely say he knows nothing about emulation, beyond whatever marketing bullet points he’s been provided with by his boss.
Emulation is easy, when you have people within multimillion dollar company working on it.
Not easy for some college kids relying on patreon.
XBOX 360 Emulation on XBOX One was deployed and is becoming more and more rapidly supported. They’re even working on emulation of the ORIGINAL XBOX…Which People on PC have not done yet. And this is because Microsoft has all the original hardware, and they know how it works.
When you use emulation on the XBOX One, to play an XBOX 360 game, just like the Nintendo Wii when playing gamecube games, you’re not emulating via software (Well you are, just not in the same way as on PC), you’re emulating the entire console and you have the console running two OS’s at the same time.
well persona 5 is a 2016 game.
I mean cool but RDR looks literally worse than just playing it on XB1. There’s a ways to go.
Dolphin, PCS2X and CEMU are miles ahead of this. Let’s be real here.
