DF Direct Weekly #168 - Digital Foundry talks about the new "disappointing" PS2 emulator on PS4/PS5
- Thread starter Gamernyc78
- Start date
About the 60fps mods Series S.
Either:
- Drop the resolution to 720p that looks crap with tons of artifacts due FRS2 not working with well with that low resolution.
Or
- Mods disable or decrease a lot ” draw distance, shadow quality and much more“ that makes it looks like crap.
I mean even crap that what it looks on Series S.

It’s trash and disappointing, they did great with PS1 emulation 
idk why they’re so lazy with PS2

I never had any faith in them handling this stuff well, Sony is terrible at this stuff and seems like that's going to be the case forever. It's almost unbelievable that a multi billion dollar company is run like this.
There's plenty of great tech out there for them to provide a great experience with minimal investment but they genuinely couldn't care less.
Nintendo shows that the most valuable asset a gaming company can have are established legacy IPs yet Sony doesn't give a shit, they will either pretend they don't exist or introduce people to their old games in the worst way possible.

Isn't it weird that two of the three big gaming companies don't seem to fully embrace the idea that their game portfolio is their biggest platform asset?

It's always funny when someone equates laziness with the balancing of resources...
Depends of what you expect from a emulator.It’s trash and disappointing, they did great with PS1 emulation
For example the only issue I had in the games I played in PS2 emulator on PS4 were the bugs... like you are doing something and it crashed.
The rest the games played and looked very faithful to the original (that is what emulators should focus).
But maybe you want enhancement things with the emulator... better graphics, more resolution, different filters, etc.
I'm not sure how it is the PS2 emulation on PS5 but on PS4 except for the game by game bugs the emulation was very good.
I'm not surprised by anything anymore, I don't think these companies are on top of their game and they might not even understand what their business is about.
PlayStation seems to think they are in the business of milking and abusing their costumers as if they had no other options.
This constant pivot from the journalists...
They want all these classics back, and demand them to be done right away, and when they do drop, they get mad if it doesn't have trophies (which was always optional), or if it isn't able to do 4K, 60 FPS like the Xbox classics.
And, on top of that, you have the purists who would be offended that XYZ game isn't in its original format 100%.

That is what they get for not having a long term plan or a universal solution that they refined over time. Sony should have a dedicated team for legacy support that would also communicate/engage with the public and be in charge of solving licensing issues.
There is nothing stopping them from offering something on pair with the best that emulator can offer.
This is one of those features that's great in theory but then you never use it in any significant way at all. I don't wanna play Ps2 games in 2024, I did that in 2001.
the PS1 games like Syphon filter are scaled to 4k, but Sly Cooper is 480p. Yes I want 4k or at the bare minimum 1080p. In 2024 that's not asking for a lot

I always hear criticism about their emulation techniques. You would think they'd be golden wuth it.
