It turns out, the PS3 Console itself is preventing the game from performing optimally

Era Playstation 3 may have passed, by being replaced by Playstation 4 and even PS4 Pro which is more powerful. But back in the old PS3 era, many people said that the console was an obstacle to the development of video games at that time. Even because hardware PS3 which does have below performance Xbox 360 at that time, PS3 is labeled as the main actor. Although, for their exclusive games the PS3 is still able to deliver graphics that are above average like The Last of Us.

And, in this latest evidence, it seems that the above statement is quite true. Because in the video updates released by the PS3 emulator – RPCS3 what you can watch above, they can show a very significant difference from what the PS3 displays to what the PS3 game should display. All RPCS3 does is raise the resolution to 4K as well as anisotropic filtering to 16x to refine the existing texture.

If in general the game requires texture packs to be able to look sharp at high resolution let alone 4K. So actually PS3 games don’t need it because it turns out that the default textures in PS3 games are already in high resolution, thanks to technology Blu-ray brought by Sony. But that’s where it was finally revealed how the console PS3 alone is not able to maximize what has been made by publisher to the games. Because with games that should exist, the PS3 has to lower the texture so that it can run smoothly. The result is of course a variety of visible in-game textures blurry or jaggies (Rough).

Team from RPCS3 himself said that this is only a small part of the improvisation that can be done to maximize the graphics quality of the games Playstation 3 via emulators. Features like anti-aliasing costume, texture scaling algorithms, and even patches the specifics of the community are the things they are working on at the moment. Seeing that game graphics Playstation 3 look much better in PC, how about games like The Last of Us or Uncharted if they have a chance to run on PC?
