Lollipop Chainsaw and Shadows of the Damned are two games that released exclusively on old-gen consoles (PS3 and Xbox 360). And while some of you may not be interested in them, some others will soon be able to play them on the PC thanks to the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.
YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared videos showing these games running on RPCS3. reznoire used an Intel Core i5-7600k with an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW2 and 16GB of DDR4-3200 and as we can see, both Lollipop Chainsaw and Shadows of the Damned run surprisingly well.
Lollipop Chainsaw is a comedy horror action hack and slash game, whereas Shadows of the Damned is a third-person action game that combines the “punk rock” edge of Goichi Suda with the “psychological action thriller” of Shinji Mikami.
Enjoy!

Maybe one day they’ll release it on PC.
I think SotD flopped harder than Vanquish.
Feels like most of those PS3/Xbox 360 only games flopped.
Makes you wonder if maybe they would had decent sales if they made PC versions back then.
I mean sure Read Dead Redemption did great but that was a Rockstar games. Can’t think of other successful one.
Demon Souls? Very much enjoyed that thanks to RPCS3.
Ye but I meant games that were console exclusives in sense that they were released both on PS3 and Xbox 360 but not on PC. There were quite a few games like this on last generation. Like these 2 from article.
Ofc true exclusives only for one platform always sell well. Hell it’s often main reason why people buy consoles.
They… don’t look like much fun to play.
Those videos impress insofar as showcasing how far RPCS3 has come.
+1.
I would love to play KILLZONE 2 on the PC. Is it possible with RPCS3 ?
KillZone 2 got pretty good reviews and criticism, but it never made to the PC I suppose. I’m interested in “Shadows of the Damned” as well.
Btw, I highly recommend this particular article/news. It’s good to see how much potential RPCS3 might actually have.
Keep posting more stuff on this, @JOHN.
I doubt other gaming websites focus more on this PS3 emulator by posting new info on RPCS3 and the like. But anyways, even if they do, I’m too lazy to Google search for this.
It would be nice if there is some sort of tutorial, as well as instruction on how to make this work on the PC ? Though, I’m currently going the RPCS3 Compatibility List and full FAQ posted on emulator’s official website.
Too bad, it seems KillZone 2 is not fully compatible, as of now.
Lollipop Chainsaw should be port to PC,since it use unreal engine 3…
Yup, I saw that yesterday on the official website.
But I hope this game comes soon to the PC, via RPCS3, or the devs port it to the PC, if this can be done.
