Earlier this month, we reported on the latest version of RPCS3 that brought major performance improvements in Naughty Dog’s PS3 games. And, from the looks of it, RPCS3 can almost run The Last of Us as good as the Playstation 4.
YouTube’s ‘illusion’ has shared the following comparison video between the RPCS3 and the PS4 Pro versions. Both of them were running the game with 60fps (which means that the PS4 version was using the 1080p/60fps preset). However, the RPCS3 version was not running in real-time. For the time being, PC gamers can get 30-50fps on high-end Intel CPUs (with some spikes to 60fps). So yeah, we are almost there.
Now as we’ve already reported, the latest version of RPCS3 disables some graphics effects. For instance, Depth of Field is completely disabled on RPCS3. There are also some stability issues, and the “listening” feature does not appear to be working properly.
I also noticed some issues with the distant shadows in RPCS3 (that are not present in the PS4 Pro version). My guess is that Naughty Dog has increased the shadow cascade in the Remastered version, which explains why the distant shadows are not that pixelated.
What’s also interesting to note is that the main character appears to be sharper in the RPCS3 version. So yeah, it’s pretty cool witnessing some visual improvements that the PS3 emulator brings to the table over the PS4 version.
You can download the latest version of RPCS3 from here.
Enjoy the following video comparison and stay tuned for more!

“Now as we’ve already reported, the latest version of RPCS3 disables some graphics effects. For instance, Depth of Field is completely disabled on RPCS3.”
That’s actually an improvement. Depth of field is an awful effect
Yep, but depends on the context, some old gen games have a very bad draw distance or low res backgrounds intended to be hidden by DoF, also even if i disable it most of the time, i like DoF in cutscenes
on a mere gtx 1060 no less and a amd cpu
This is not in real time, it’s stated in the description of the video.
Indeed.
Yeah, updated the article to reflect the real performance numbers. That’s why there is also the “almost” in the title, we are getting there. For instance, in 4K you can get a PS4 performance on high-end PC systems. The “Pro” mention was a mistake, so I’ve removed it.
That’s better !
Impressive !!
is it just or the lighting is better on the emulator ?
I bet you cant get that performance on i5 CPU…
2065: Last of us 2 menu boots up on emulator.
3000: Last of us 5 boots up on emulator
Can i play it from start to finish ?
This is such clickbait nonsense.
Majority of the game is utterly unplayable performance wise, on top of still having several visual glitches. And that’s while using overclocked 5GHz 9900K.
>So yeah, we are almost there.
Lol absolutely not.
Actually, the game runs with 30+fps on high-end PC systems in the latest version of RPCS3. Excluding the crashes and bugs, it already runs better than the base PS4 in 4K -> https://youtu.be/WEF1XY7aRXo
The main issue is that its missing HDR and all PS4 enhancements they made, like better textures, new shadows and some otehr things.
First game is not SJW
Yep! This video does not even cover it all.
Neither is the 2nd game, but hey keep on pretending….the 96 on metacritic says different, although Im sure the pathetic losers who wont play it and likely don’t own PS4s can’t wait to review bomb it with their fake accounts on metacritic and Amazon, since they have no life or job
Metacritic comes from the mainstream reviewers, they all Political Activists and not reviewers, none of them review games like they used to be: Graphics, Sound, Story etc, they look at social side of things and since 99% of them are Liberals, then thats how they review the games from extremely liberal viewpoint.
If you want to see a real reviews, learn Russian, at least they still have Real Freedom of speech and call the things by their names, LGBT propaganda, Angry Lesbians Revenge Story.
But, they also said that most of the game is just a game, all the LGBT relationship its early on, and yes all the main charterers, even the evil ones are all Alphabet people and Diversity migrants.
There are no Straight white man in the main story except Joel Brother that has small on screen time.
I had the game + statue edition pre-ordered, I canceled it [can easily make a screenshot and prove it, I canceled it last week or so and pre-ordered over a year ago], but I got a regualr digital copy, im going to play the game, im an adult and can ignore the things I dont like.
Russian reviews said the game-play is amazing, the world is fun to be in, this game has many Firsts: Every enemy has a name and they all related to each other, so killing one has effect on others if they related, same with dogs, killing a dog can enrage his owner.
This game has insane amount of animations, stabbing in different parts has reactions, there are many deaths.
I loved the first game, so i have to play the second one, otherwise why do I own my PS4Pro? Im a hardcore PC gamer, 2080TI etc
My PS4Pro is just for exclusives.
Whats your point? You mixed bunch of lunacy here.
And used edited pictures, that whatever her name is Armenian not Jewish.
Niel is liberal American as they come, he moved there at age of 8.
Most people in Israel are conservative and liberal parties have no power, if he grew up there, did his 3 years of army service, seen some combat, I guarantee you he wouldn’t be like this, you can only turn into this in USA and EU.
You have to be a nutcase to believe there is some Jewish conspiracy, more then 50% of Americans vote for the democratic [liberal] party and Jews are tiny minority and not all of them are even liberal.
All western games make “diverse” ugly/woke characters, its not some unique situation in N.D.
Most people that do arts are liberals, that’s why Movies, TV and games look like woke propaganda, there is no conspiracy, no tin foil hats or Jews, its just bunch of Liberals trying to outdo each otehr: Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Whos the Wokest of Them All?!

LOL this is DLC and doesn’t make it anyway SJW.
Its a teenage kiss between two girls, its nothing really.
Second game do promote some woke values, like one Russian reviewer said, TLOUS2 is: Angry Lesbian Revenge Story
You dont have any points
Main game had nothing of the such, DLC is optional.
The DLC is somewhat problematic because after the kiss it makes it so they in interracial relationship and thats much more problematic then two girls kiss.
Second game thou is woke AF.
can anyone tell me where I can download & play all these exclusive PS titles fully in PC?
shows how much you actually know about game, instead speaking out of a$$.
So thats the best you got…Just spamming the same video clip from a DLC that was literally 1 moment in it…LMFAO you incels are getting sadder by the day…Don’t forget to rush to metacritic though with you 10 different fake accounts to leave those 0 user reviews pretending you’ve played it, as if anyone actually looks at metacritic or user reviews.
I wish sony follows steam and has user reviews for purchased games, so we have real opinion and see how long people played the game
agenda really ? are you telling me you never seen people try things as teenager, you are bigger fool than i though good to know.
ending of tlou didn’t have any gender messages or sjw as you drum out. its straight forward –
person who saw his child killed and once again in same dilemma in the end with ellie so he did what he thought was best, whatever kiss scene you saw in video that dlc is set before events of main game . once again its good to know you are not a only fool but a homophobic too .
true face where that? well you should ask your mum better yet may be your da unless they are siblings which is way of life for you and its is know kids of such to be stupider and raging fools.
