RPCS3 stands true as development progresses, system requirements become lower and more games become a playable reality. Many fraudulent PlayStation 3 emulators and console emulators in general have clouded the public eye of the impossibility of PlayStation 3 emulation and the ability to emulate the console without a high-end computer. RPCS3 has been seen by many as an impossible feat in the eyes of gamers and programmers. Remember, the best way to play PlayStation 3 games is to play them on the original hardware. Any users conversing about piracy upon joining the Discord server, forums or GitHub community will be re-directed elsewhere. RPCS3 is not designed to enable illegal activity. Most of this information can be found on the PlayStation 3 Developer Wiki.
Additional information was obtained from various sources on the internet that include but is not limited to system hardware and software documentation. All information was obtained legally by purchasing PlayStation 3 hardware and software. The goal of this project is to experiment, research, and educate on the topic of PlayStation 3 emulation that can be performed on compatible devices and operating systems. Today RPCS3 is dubbed one of the most complex video game console emulators of all time with an endless goal to effectively emulate the Sony PlayStation 3 and all of its aspects. The emulator was first able to successfully boot and run simple homebrew projects and was then later publicly released in June of 2012.
The developers initially hosted the project on Google Code and eventually moved it to GitHub later in its development. RPCS3 was founded by programmers DH and Hykem.
With each and every contribution and donation, more and more games are becoming closer and closer to either booting or full playability. The emulator is capable of booting and playing hundreds of commercial games. The project began development on May 23rd, 2011 and currently supports modern Vulkan, Direct3D 12 and OpenGL graphic APIs. The levels are not as crazy as you would find in the Tony Hawk series, but I do think that they have some pretty cool designs.RPCS3 is an open-source Sony PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger written in C++ for Windows and Linux. The graphics look very polished and the different areas you skate around all look good. This game even now holds up very well from a presentational point of view. One of the most surprising things about Skate 3 is the presentation. They have gone all out with this and you can come up with some really cool and impressive skate parks for you and your buddies to skate on. Skate 3 has a skate park editor and it is the most impressive one I have ever come across. I actually found the campaign a lot of fun and think they did a great job. Some of the challenges in the campaign can be really hard and sometimes very frustrating, but there is a difficulty slider than you can use if you find yourself getting frustrated. I found the AI to be pretty good in this mode and it was like they were as good as you are. What makes the challenges in Skate 3 stand out is that some of them require you to skate at the same time as your teammates. You do this by working together and completing different challenges. The idea of the campaign is to form an elite team of skaters. Do not worry though as this is still a fun experience if you are playing on your own which is what I did. The campaign of Skate 3 was designed with online play in mind.
I am a huge Jason Lee fan and thought that his performance was excellent and I am sure if you are new to the series you will find his tips very helpful. One thing that I got a real kick out of was how they have Jason Lee playing Coach Frank to teach you the basics. Instead, they have spent the development time just refining the game and making it overall better.
That to be fair was a good decision as Skate 2 really nailed the gameplay. To be brutally honest with you EA did not change a whole load of stuff from Skate 2 with Skate 3.
