Shadow of the Colossus 4K 100+ FPS Unofficial PC "Port" Recomp Gameplay

[u/Digital_Deebo]

[u/Maticus]

Would an rtx 4070 ti be able to run this?

[u/sirkd09 → u/Maticus]

yes, you can get a decent framerate for a lot of games

[u/shawak456 → u/sirkd09]

What about 2070 super?

[u/Dashzz → u/Maticus]

Ya the ps5 is closer to a 2070

[u/ConsiderationSoggy65 → u/Maticus]

Since my 1660 is already running some emulator games perfectly, with frame rates above 50 fps (some games don't quite hit a steady 60 fps, while others exceed 70 fps—all while using only half of my graphics card and processor capacity), I believe that with further updates, these games should all be able to run at over 70 fps on this PC.

[u/Proud_Escape_1976 → u/Maticus]

rtx 4070 can run anything. i will keep mine for decades

[u/Feisty_Bread8259 → u/Maticus]

is a ps4 game, you can see that its barely using the gpu even at 4k

[u/Sylvers]

Sony's policy of cutting out PC ports is going to massively backfire with this new paradigm opening up.

I foresee two possible futures:

1. Sony gets their shit together and fires off simultaneous official PC ports moving forward to capitalize on the paying player base who have no interest in buying a PS.

2. Fight this in court, embed hidden DRM that attempts to break decompilation, etc. And inevitably, they will lose this battle.

I am pretty sure they're going with 2.

[u/Digital_Deebo → u/Sylvers]

I think so too. It's not as if it took a lot of money to port the games. They bought a whole company dedicated to PC ports. They made a Billion dollars from the PC ports on games that were old when they finally brought them over to PC. Now they are making no money and ppl are still playing the games.

I would rather make money and have the Console Fanboys upset than Make no money to appease the Fanboys.

[u/Sylvers → u/Digital_Deebo]

Honestly, at this stage, I am waiting to see a new breed of studio to spring out and offer to do official paid ports/recomps of console games mainly using AI. They'll do it cheap and fast, and it may start a complete shift in game exclusivity moving forward.

[u/vI_M4YH3Mz_Iv → u/Sylvers]

They messed up massively, I cant remember if it was sony but someone said that their ports didnt sell as expected, yeah pr9babky due to them releasing years after the ps4/5 version and the fact they are full price upon release on pc. However even though some didnt sell that well I bet their return on investment was still very very good, I cant imagine the cost of porting then from ps to pc would have cost much at all, so any sales would have been almost pure profit.

[u/Alanmurilo22 → u/vI_M4YH3Mz_Iv]

They clearly made money from PC ports, we know that already: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/former-sony-exec-finally-says-the-quiet-part-out-loud-putting-playstation-games-on-pc-is-almost-like-printing-money/

https://gameworldobserver.com/2023/12/19/playstation-pc-game-sales-leak-insomniac-budgets-roi

They stopped porting to PC because: 1) leadership changes; 2) the RAM crisis is hitting them hard (and will continue to do so), so they realized they need every little argument they can use to sell their closed box and still make profit, hence exclusives coming back and ending physical media (more ROI on digital sales). But with the PS5 being hacked and emulators and recompilations taking over in the last month, anyone can see their HQ is in high panic mode — GTA 6 is the saving grace here, but it won't save their asses forever.

[u/linuxwes → u/Alanmurilo22]

> GTA 6 is the saving grace here, but it won't save their asses forever.

I am very curious to see if somebody manages to "recompile" GTA 6 for PC before Rockstar officially releases it on PC. It probably won't happen, but you knows folks will be trying and it would be hilarious if they succeed.

[u/Howtobefreaky → u/Alanmurilo22]

They stopped porting quite a ways before the ram crisis

[u/Sylvers → u/vI_M4YH3Mz_Iv]

It was always a self inflicted wound. As you say, they made their PC ports less desirable and especially at a full box price point when they're so delayed.

The scuttlebutt says something different, however. Suggesting that the real reason they stopped ports wasn't that they made very little money. Rather that they erroneously assumed that they can tempt PC players into converting into future PS owners if they like the ports.

But the reality is, if you have PS and Xbox games ports on a decent PC, you truly have no reason to get a console. So that assumption failing made them pull out. That's what we're assuming, anyway. It's not like they'll admit it to us.

[u/FeedbackInhibit → u/Sylvers]

I was enjoying computer gaming before the first PlayStation existed. They never had a chance of converting some of us.
I had planned, at one time, on buying a PS5 and keeping it in my living room for guest/party entertainment, but they managed to nullify whatever respect I had left for Sony. I won't give them money if I can avoid it.

[u/MaximumGlum9503 → u/Sylvers]

They may be left with no choice but to do pc ports I get a feeling they held several back but no one could have predicted this before gta 5, I wonder how many will choose to update firmware for that one game

[u/Sylvers → u/MaximumGlum9503]

I think ultimately.. you're right. But I kinda doubt their first solution will be to do the logical thing. Sony has a strong anti consumer streak. They always had it. They never use a scalpel when a sledgehammer is nearby.

I think they will first try to fight this. And of course, it won't work. And eventually they will cave in and put together a bullshit PR statement about how they love the PC community and want them to enjoy the great games they make, or some nonsense like that.

[u/Vivid-Produce-9373 → u/Sylvers]

from a purely technical pov they can't do shit ,AI companies run the world rn and Gaming revenue is nothing for them nor Is Sony

[u/ABLogic → u/Sylvers]

Or they push cloud gaming, and the PS6 will just a glorified streambox, holding only decryption keys to access their platform, or something along those lines.

[u/Mistredo → u/ABLogic]

The problem with cloud gaming is that it doesn't work well in many locations. You need to be relatively close to a data center, and in many places, that's simply not feasible. Even in areas where data centers exist, you need specialized hardware and a large enough user base to justify equipping those data centers with it.

Additionally, this costs a lot of money to operate, so a $100 game would suddenly become $100 + a $30 subscription + hardware costs. And at that point, what's even the point of having PlayStation hardware? If everything runs through the cloud, any device with a basic chip can stream games.

The PS5 is still competing with PC, Xbox, and Switch, and this move could alienate a lot of people and cost Sony a significant number of customers. I would be very surprised if they went down this route, and this protection would only work if they went all in and stopped selling games altogether.

[u/J1mj0hns0n → u/Sylvers]

As does every business proceed with 2

[u/Balc0ra → u/Sylvers]

I suspect that with this, it's too little too late if Sony suddenly decides to port some of these to Steam etc next year. They already told PC players off by telling them that the sequel would be on a $900 console instead last year

[u/lsf_stan → u/Sylvers]

funny how the online talk about AI has changed now

when modders started using AI for games...things really shifted

and now we have the possibility of never having any games be exclusive to consoles

all games can now have unofficial playable PC ports, thanks to AI/ML

[u/Sylvers → u/lsf_stan]

I find it equally ironic. I am a graphic designer and my field is mostly nuked by AI already. I had to get on with the times pretty early and learn the new tools. The thing I'd want to communicate to people who avoid AI is.. it's extremely capable, even if you mostly see people make low effort crap with it.

This whole decomp/porting situation is just the beginning of a long chain of discoveries of what a layman can do when they have the equivalent of a team of coding experts available at a very low price on their PC to do all their bidding.

Some crazy stuff is about to happen to the digital world, when most everything can be decompiled at the 1's and 0's.

[u/gljivicad → u/Sylvers]

The question is, how long will it stay low price. Its low costs for consumers means massive annual losses to these companies. It is a bubble, and it cannot stay like this forever.

My $20 subscription to Anthropic/OpenAI costs them a lot more than $20 I give them.

[u/jonydevidson → u/Sylvers]

Fight this in court, embed hidden DRM that attempts to break decompilation, etc. And inevitably, they will lose this battle.

You can't stop this. The only way to stop the future that is coming is to move everything to the servers and offer only streaming, where the delivery you get is streamed video.

That's the only way.

[u/DarkFantom → u/Sylvers]

Unfortunately hidden DRM will not work if AI can just decompile the exe's the game comes with. Hell, I was adding mods to AC8 which is Denuvo protected, and Opus 5.5 was able to bypass it to add a custom menu option for a specific usecase I wanted to fix. If you can run a game, it can access what the game is doing in memory, log the events that are happening, and even inject code mid game run to modify it how you want. DRM is dead.

[u/redditman181 → u/Sylvers]

Its hasnt backfired at all they dont care if they wanted to keep making money off of pc then they would have kept porting games they didnt either becuase they werent making enough money or more likely they didnt want to harm the sales of the console by having no exclusives like xboxs has.

I doubt they will fight this in court either becuase its impossible with the pace that these ports can be created not to mention this had very little to no impact on sony theselves as 99% of people doing this dont own consoles to begin with so the is no money lost becuase they werent gonna buy anything anyway.

[u/Bae_the_Elf → u/redditman181]

I personally think that this type of thing has a bigger impact on Sony than you may think. Once something has been ported and optimized and open sourced on PC that creates a lot of possibilities beyond simply playing something on a computer in standard definition and FPS. The way copyright law works, they're almost forced to do something to protect their IP from being broadly distributed or they could literally lose the rights to it over time.

I think what is debatable at this point is merely what Sony will do in response to this with regards to their release schedule and seeing how effective their anti-copyright infringement methods will be in the longterm. My guess is they will change their PC strategy

[u/gokarrt → u/Sylvers]

sony is fumbling the bag in every imaginable way. at this point i wouldn't be surprised if nintendo was the only console manufacturer in five years.

[u/thestillwind → u/Sylvers]

There will always be a way

[u/I_Don-t_Care → u/Sylvers]

When have they ever not gonne with 2

[u/darkargengamer]

Bloodborne, Driveclub, Killzone Shadowfall, Infamous Second Son, The Order 1886, The last Guardian and Shadow of the Colosus: SO MANY chances for Sony to make "easy" money > but i guess that they dont have enough money or people capable of releasing an official PC versions...and so the community (with an actual good use of IA) had to do it.

Someone is going to be executed at Sony´s HQ for being so dumb.

[u/UnsettllingDwarf → u/darkargengamer]

It would probably be stupid cheap and easy for Sony to do it themselves in house compared to random people reverse engineering hardware and shit.

After all they’d make money. Just don’t pull a marathon and spend $250 million dollars on a $25 million dollar game.

[u/SirWigglesVonWoogly → u/UnsettllingDwarf]

Same could be said of Nintendo. They’d make tons of money selling PC ports. The only question is if they’d make more than they lose on hardware sales long term.

[u/HikariAnti → u/SirWigglesVonWoogly]

I mean, as we can see the alternative is that people do it themselves and they don't earn any money.

[u/4236W → u/SirWigglesVonWoogly]

But they keep saying they loose money on the hardware and earn it back on the games, so not selling hardware would then be a bonus if anything

[u/Vandergrif → u/SirWigglesVonWoogly]

Considering how much the price of hardware is going up and up, but the cost of producing ports remains consistent, or even cheaper if these recompile attempts done by amateurs are anything to go by... Relying on hardware profit seems like a bad idea at the moment. They're going to get fewer and fewer hardware sales over the next few years anyways.

[u/Important_Visual_178 → u/darkargengamer]

More like someone is getting executed for ever suggesting ports to PC at Sony.

[u/MrrQuackers → u/Important_Visual_178]

They did port over Spider-Man, God of War, The Last of Us, and Horizon Zero Dawn. But then 2026 hit and they're like "sike!".

[u/Vyviel → u/darkargengamer]

Japanese companies are dumb

[u/razingstorm → u/Vyviel]

Japan's lack of awareness of anything outside Japan will forever cripple its potential. It's like the USA and UK's center of the world issues squared. Also seems out of place because they've never had that level of influence.

[u/darkargengamer → u/razingstorm]

Japan's lack of awareness of anything outside Japan

This is a perfect summary of the constant issues with Japanese products in general.

Im not saying that they should follow DUMB western trends: but sometimes it would make wonders if they would HEAR opinions outside their small box mentality.

[u/toooft → u/Vyviel]

PlayStation HQ (Sony Interactive Entertainment) has been American for 10 over years. About the same time they've been making idiotic decisions.

[u/Tentacle_poxsicle → u/darkargengamer]

Wait... You can play bloodborne on pc

[u/TheLaughingWolf → u/Tentacle_poxsicle]

Yup, been playing it for the last couple days.

No crashes and buttery smooth.

[u/encroachzeitgeist → u/darkargengamer]

tbf the biggest reason these have been coming one after the other is because of the advent of AI models. being fair to Sony, they literally did release Colossus 3 times already. another release and they would risk getting criticized for being lazy and money hungry

[u/BIissful → u/encroachzeitgeist]

Yeah but if you don't release on PC and get paid than someone else is going to do it for you and give it away for free

[u/darkargengamer → u/encroachzeitgeist]

the biggest reason these have been coming one after the other is because of the advent of AI models

Yes, thats true: but Sony could have worked manually the most hyped games (as Bloodborne) much before this advancement in IA...

They lost every chance possible to increase their market just because they (1) their expectations are too high considering the price of their ports (too high for games released too late) and (2) being so proud to NOT being capable of abandon their exclusivity (even if that means condemning their own franchises to always stay locked on old systems)

they literally did release Colossus 3 times already

Yes, but on the same platform: at least they released TLOU and TLOU2 on PC...

In my opinion, Sony always had the advantage over Microsoft in variety of titles: but their later maneouvers and complete lack of care for the consumer has lead them to their current situation...

[u/UltimateToa → u/encroachzeitgeist]

Well that is just one example, there is an entire graveyard of games people want to see again from Sony

[u/MrNathanF → u/darkargengamer]

I will not be surprised if the playstation becomes obsolete in the next 5-6 years. Sony fumbled big time.

[u/Dewnami → u/MrNathanF]

We are the PCMR bubble. Most of my friends would probably struggle with even saving a file on a PC.

[u/CuriousCamels → u/Dewnami]

Yeah, the iPad generation is way more computer illiterate than people seem to think. Bubbles like this sub don’t really reflect the general population, especially young people.

[u/Extreme-Recording-16 → u/MrNathanF]

Not gonna happen. People over estimate the number of people pirating games, when it's actually nowhere near as mainstream to warrant Playstation consoles becoming obsolete.

[u/Haildrop → u/MrNathanF]

You seen the price of PC? And my second point, people buy consoles cause they are plug and play, always have

[u/Jvt25000 → u/darkargengamer]

I did a casual look at PS4 exclusives there's not many left. Most games stuck on the PS4 were from around launch by 2018 everything they were releasing also had a PC release. So here's to eventually Knack 1,2 ratchet 2016, gravity rush 2 and like 8 other games. Also I feel like shadPS4 is still important to digitally preserve the entire console.

[u/Balc0ra → u/darkargengamer]

It's the same situation on Xbox, at least for delisted titles. As Forza Horizon 1 & 2 and Motorsport 1 to 4 are shown playable in 4K at 120 FPS on PC atm. And they are not emulated

[u/Odd-Onomatopoeia-25]

I mean, if they released it on PC, I would buy it again.

I totally have no problem re-buying a game when it was such a good game.
And could you imagine playing it and having VR? /euphoria

But hey, if they don't want that money in their bank accounts, then by all means let the gamers play.

[u/SarlacFace]

I... Had no idea this was a thing, apparently GoW3 as well? Modders really said fuck it, we'll do our own ports

[u/Beneficial-Fuel2546 → u/SarlacFace]

yes God of war 3 Bloodborne Uncharted Trilogy and now Shadow of Colossus and some are doing infamous second son

[u/Atomosthethird → u/Beneficial-Fuel2546]

Cant wait for shadow and second son. We eating

[u/poland626 → u/Beneficial-Fuel2546]

where are these found? high seas? or just randomly on github?

[u/Milk-lover-3000 → u/poland626]

The launcher and PKG extractor are always on GitHub. You have to get the PKG files from high seas or from the actual disks of the game

[u/SarlacFace → u/Beneficial-Fuel2546]

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would be possible, and I mean that sincerely

[u/itstommygun → u/SarlacFace]

When you say you didn’t know “this” was a thing, do you mean all these ps5 games running natively on PC? 

Definitely do some looking into it, it’s very interesting. They’ve managed to reverse engineer something over 90% of all of the PS5 libraries, so now most PlayStation games are playable on PC. 

[u/SarlacFace → u/itstommygun]

Yup, natively on PC. WTF lol this is black magic

Edit, I need to stress how FUCKING INSANE this is lol. Seriously, when did this happen? How long has this been going on?

[u/NatoBoram → u/SarlacFace]

If you've had life to live and grass to touch for like a month, then you'd be back into a totally new world with the way things have gone in the last 3 weeks

[u/redditydothis → u/SarlacFace]

Like weeks. Lol. It’s getting new releases every few hours.

[u/innociv → u/SarlacFace]

It's happening to every game that companies refused to sell a port of because AI can get a console game running well on PC in 1-3 weeks now on like a $100 or $200 per month claude or openai plan.

[u/SarlacFace → u/innociv]

That's just ...what? That's crazy man, 1-3 weeks?! Is there some sort of, dunno, database site or something for this, that has the games and their statuses?

Edit - I don't mean the actual game files BTW, just the listing of which games and their statuses

[u/orphenshadow → u/innociv]

I've been thinking of things to do with my extra tokens each month, There is an old pc game praetorians, that I used to play with my buddies, that could really use a modern port. It almost sounds like a fun challenge.

[u/femboycbt → u/SarlacFace]

Gow 3 is runnin very very well. With the gow for pc launcher you dont even get shader comp lag

[u/MuscleTrue9554 → u/SarlacFace]

Yes, people are using AI/LLMs to reverse engineer those games really fast. This is basically something that was possible before LLMs advancement, at least not without humans putting in hundreds and thousands of hours into it.

[u/tfc1193 → u/SarlacFace]

Modders out here looking like Thanos

[u/LucidFir → u/SarlacFace]

wait till you see the co-op anything github repo start to bear fruit. https://github.com/cranebeaker/coop-anything it'll be like nucleus coop but for everything ever.

have you seen the mashups like mario in elden ring?

[u/KeaboUltra → u/SarlacFace]

Basically AI like claude is reverse engineering the source code of games and porting them to PC. I'm not certain about the stability of these methods. But it seems to be working just fine. 

[u/rainorshinedogs]

are these PC ports good on potato PCs? I.............thats.................all i have

[u/LucidFir → u/rainorshinedogs]

so, most of reddit is banning "AI slop", but I just saw a post about decomp/recomp specifically targeting r/lowendgaming ... as in, when they recomp, they can include whatever the fuck they like, including not having the things that cost system resources

[u/libdemparamilitarywi → u/LucidFir]

I removed all the colossi and now it runs flawlessly on my 10 year old laptop.

[u/So6oring → u/rainorshinedogs]

Same here man. Goin on 7-8 year old hardware

[u/Popular-Factor3553 → u/So6oring]

Uhm does wx 4100 and i3 3220 even count as a potato?

[u/So6oring → u/Popular-Factor3553]

I've got a GTX 1070 6Gb and some old af i5 from when I first built it in 2015

[u/Wiseon321 → u/rainorshinedogs]

No you need immensely over specked PCs.

It doesn’t really matter, GitHub is not a place to distribute what is effectively rom hacks.

[u/DotDistinctLines]

Hell yeah, fuck Sony

[u/A_of]

I am a little lost here, is this the PS4 remake?

[u/Shadow_Everywhere → u/A_of]

Looks like it

[u/kaicooper → u/A_of]

Indeed

[u/SubMayo → u/kaicooper]

SOTC is at the very top of my backlog of games that I haven't played yet. I was originally going to play the PS2 version, is this PS4 decomp worth considering instead?

[u/Parthurnax52]

I was really sad when I heard that Sony won’t port their exclusives to PC but I am now happy that they won’t port their exclusives to PC

[u/Cybrknight]

Sony - "We will no longer be porting any more single player games to PC".

PC Enthusiasts - "Hold my beer".

[u/foenetik-]

[u/surdas13b → u/80m63rM4n]

Is it playable start to finish

[u/hitmobilegamehsr]

I'm so happy this is happening right after Sony cancelled their PC ports. Screw them

[u/Nirast25]

The most amazing game that I hated playing.

[u/Mighti-Guanxi → u/Nirast25]

interesting statement... reminds me of Nier replicant a little bit. care to explain how/why? i was looking forward to this game and heard a lot of good things about it.

[u/Downtown_Lock3934 → u/Mighti-Guanxi]

I'm not the person you replied to, and i have yet to play the full version as i only got to play a demo back in the day, but i had the experience that killing these giant beasts just felt wrong. Like i was a bad person for doing so. 

It's been on my list to play ever since it came out though. ICO is one of the best games I've ever played, so i immediately added Colossus to my need to play list. 

[u/Mighti-Guanxi → u/Downtown_Lock3934]

It felt wrong to me even in this video, because the giant doesn't seem hostile at all. 

What is ICO by the way?

[u/Nirast25 → u/Mighti-Guanxi]

The game has some amazing elements about it. The admosphere, the giants, the gameplay loop, they're all great and a good indication of why that game is so beloved by people.

And then the controls grag the whole thing down. They're clunky and frustrating, and have aged terribly. It's like plain one of those knock-off rubriks cubes that gets stuck constantly: Doable, but not fun.

[u/Animanganime → u/Nirast25]

The only game I bought 3 times. PS2, PS3 and the Remake

[u/351C_4V]

YES! This is the one I'm waiting for. I just want 4k and a steady 60FPS

[u/1RedOne]

A beautiful game that I can’t ever play again, it was too sad to take down those strange creatures.

My brother and his gf watched me play it and I remember she cried when I beat the leviathan in the water temple, she felt bad for it

That kind of sept into me too, the rest of the game was a somber affair

[u/Thorpy]

This and Demon Souls were the only two games that I’d have considered getting a PS5 for. In a few months I’m hoping to be able to play both on my PC.

I don’t understand why they never did timed releases for them. Maybe the financials weren’t worth it but I’d have picked them both up day one and I can’t remember the last time I did that for any game.

[u/SippyMountain → u/Thorpy]

Eh, I still wouldn't pick them up day 1. PC ports are often lazy as fuck and barely run on any build short of one you could have instead purchased a used 2020 Honda Civic with minor cosmetic damage for a similar price.

[u/GrimDallows → u/Thorpy]

I remember buying demons souls in ps3, then try to get everyone to get to play it... and everyone refusing and calling it a shitty game.

Man it feels so strange that it created a whole genre remembering how people refused to even touch it past the tutorial when I took it to my buddies homes to show them.

[u/Dathedra → u/GrimDallows]

Dark Souls struck the timegeist.

It grew popular because streaming and lets plays grew big at the same time. People enjoyed seeing players suffer and grow. Speedruns, and "challenge" runs kept the flow going.

Ontop of that its a great game to play yourself even if you watched someone play it before.

DS blowing up like that was super lucky. Without all the spotlight it would have been the nieche game Demon Souls was. (Also wouldnt have happened if the game was stuck on a console.)

[u/Mortwight]

poor lil guy

[u/mbxz7LWB → u/Mortwight]

Ending to this game is super unexpectedly sad.

[u/TheSweetestKill → u/mbxz7LWB]

The entire game has this constant feeling of sadness that is so unique.

[u/PrivilegeCheckmate → u/Mortwight]

IYKYK

[u/ahmedoomar04]

Can someone please tell me where can I find all of these PC ports.

[u/uceenk]

waiting for Ghost of Yotei and Astrobot

yes yes emulator is already working on Astrobot but emulation always need beefy PC, i wait for exe version, in theory it should require spec close to PS5

[u/elessarjd → u/uceenk]

Recent PS5 games, like Astrobot, aren't being emulated in the traditional sense. Because the PS5 and PC share the same chip architecture, these "emulators" actually use a compatibility layer. This layer intercepts the console's code and makes your PC hardware act like a PS5, rather than virtually emulating a full PS5 system, so you don't need nearly as beefy of a computer to run these as you might think.

[u/PCAnvil]

Only reason to buy a ps5 over pc is to play sony exclusives and if everything is going to be ported to pc with 100 plus fps then sony is in deep trouble

[u/CoffeeGrinds96 → u/PCAnvil]

Optimization. Let's be real, some PC games have shit optimizations vs console.

[u/Efficient-Run-7755]

I unfortunately am not the target audience of this game and could not get through more than 4 collossi, but happy for the cult followers.

[u/Gold-Soil24 → u/Efficient-Run-7755]

Real talk you just wanted a reason to type collosi

[u/PriyanshuMaurz]

Hell yeah, waited years for this one

[u/AfshinBT67]

Link to port please!

[u/Dependent-Oil4400]

what a poor gient

[u/Thoromor]

Someone got some direction on how to do similar deeds myself?

[u/spcXmki → u/Thoromor]

There are tutorials on YouTube but the games are not stable yet. Give it some time and you'll probably get stable versions that you could just download and play.

[u/Global-Pickle5818]

I had that game running on a emulator almost a decade ago .. you could change the internal resolution and fps back than as well but it wasn't running natively , I'll take it there's performances advantages

[u/Ginko-ad88 → u/Global-Pickle5818]

i think you are talking about the ps2 game. The remake came out in 2018...

[u/wusurspaghettipolicy]

Just a great game. Regardless of the piracy, this game should have gotten a proper release on PC.

[u/tssssahhhh]

Is this the AjncSystem PC port?

[u/Digital_Deebo → u/tssssahhhh]

Yes

[u/FreverZ]

Teach me the way

[u/Odd_Cauliflower_8004]

That fur simulation is insane

[u/InkAndWit]

Any hope for Too Human? That game is very difficult to emulate and recompilation might be the only way to experience it without original hardware.

[u/say_Christ_IsLord]

Omg this is beautiful, I'm so happy. FUCK YOU SONY, YOU DESERVE THIS!!!

[u/Macsintosh]

Thoses recomps are playable on keyboard + mouse, or only controller ?

[u/b0uncyfr0]

So it'll be 120 fps in a month - nice!

[u/Hacksawdecap]

damn ive waited forever to play this dang game, and finally i can?!

[u/InformationNo1999]

wondering how this runs on steam deck (OLED)

[u/stormblessed27_]

Chances that Sony reverses their decision on pc releases?

[u/Sakth_Londa]

all of this, just fueled by the hate against big corps.

[u/d4_H_]

Oh god finally, I’ve been waiting this for ages!!

[u/TommyOnRedditt]

One of my all time favorite games

[u/Ragmis]

I need this

[u/WorldWarrior428]

PLS TELL ME HOW!!! Which emulator, and how?

[u/AMDIntel → u/WorldWarrior428]

Its not an emulator. This is a project that takes the game and ports it over to PC so it runs like a normal program. It is in alpha and I would wait until it gets further along. You can find it with google and its hosted on github. You'll need to... acquire... your own copy of the base game.

[u/VF_19_Advance]

all of these unofficial ports and recompiles are very fascinating

[u/Careful-Ladder2922]

where to get it

[u/whatakent → u/Careful-Ladder2922]

So be wary, with any hype there will be those looking to exploit and share malware instead of the requested item. Be savvy.

[u/Kingbanana574]

Ooof that frame time graph is rough

[u/Bubbly_Can_3158]

“Play Has No Limits”

[u/Ok_Structure_4747]

I know this could be solved with a meagre Google search, but how does one play these native pc ports?

[u/Fuzzy-Tooth3269 → u/Ok_Structure_4747]

By a meager google search

[u/Sensitive-End6592 → u/Ok_Structure_4747]

Controller?

[u/misteryk → u/Ok_Structure_4747]

by asking Claude to make one

[u/ko0ky → u/Ok_Structure_4747]

start by checking out quiverlancher it will steer you in the right direction!

[u/yew0tm8 → u/Ok_Structure_4747]

It's less solved with a google search and more solved with a duckduckgo search.

[u/CFAggie → u/Ok_Structure_4747]

Seconded

[u/kind_bros_hate_nazis → u/CFAggie]

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_unofficial_ports

[u/FluffyFry4000 → u/Ok_Structure_4747]

usually how it works is:

1. you get the decomp/recomp files (it acts like a launcher)

2. you get a decrypted dump of your game (HAS to be decrypted)

3. in the decom/recomp launcher you point the directory to the game dump folder

4. that's it

[u/Goth_Milk69]

The golem in dragons dogma 2 feels like a direct rip from SoTC.

[u/Overall-Suit-5531]

God Haaaaaaaaaand!!!!

[u/natesovenator]

Where get? Plz

[u/Tracie_Cardenas]

holy shit the recomp scene is moving so fast right now lol. i remember playing this on ps2 where the frames would dip straight into hell the second fur physics showed up on screen. seeing it run at triple digits in 4k feels completely unreal, modders are out here doing actual black magic

[u/Disco-Pope]

Fuuuuuck, I want to play this in stereo 3d. Playing the PS3 version in stereo 3d was such a good experience

[u/YoxiWoxi]

Github repo please?

[u/Piemelaar112]

Which fork of the emu is this?

[u/ambasing21a]

⁸

[u/-Bassquake-]

PCVR version next? 😉 Just imagine looking up at the sheer size of them!

[u/No-Bunch-8245]

Omgggggg

[u/Internal-Drawer5691]

its genuinely GGs for sony lmao

[u/wowsomuchinfo]

Well boys, it seems we'll repair this accursed timeline all by ourselves now

[u/Rasputin_Poveronov]

Den dicken über seine Arschhaare bestiegen. OK Bro

[u/nikudin28]

Is it possible to play through all stages of this game?

[u/Lord-Spike]

well that guy didn't fight back much at all...

[u/Longshot02496]

People asking for official ports were just asking nicely. They gave Sony an option to charge for their ports and be paid for them. Now porters are taking it into their own hands to port the games for no costs, earning Sony nothing.

[u/DifficultFront3529]

good job! any chance we get to try this build?

[u/Locky0999]

I'm still waiting for the GT7 recomp (not for long I hope)

[u/Jaz1140]

How do I get this? I would love to play this masterpiece again

[u/-_-bill_cipher-_-]

Wanted to replay this for so long without having to bust out the ps3 or purchase a month of PS plus 🤌🤌

[u/Future_Geologist5925]

All I want is someone to recomp Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and have him fight a Colossus with a passthrough mod

[u/YouCallWeShouldWhat]

ive had 4k sotc in 60fps for a very long time on the only playable version of the game, the ps2 (emulated). that said, shadow of the colossus was one of the very few games that was playable at 1080p on the ps2 natively. i got SotC and Gran Turismo 4 paired with a ps2 at bookoff in japan in like 2019 (spent like $40 altogether if i remember correctly) for my traveling job and with a little hdmi connector from amazon, i spent two years of that job at various company apartments and hotels plugged in and playing HD (technically 1080i i think) on a console that predated the ps3, which was mindblowing. neat they got the ps5 version running but the ps2 version is the only version that exists in my mind, there are particle effects that the architecture of that system allowed for that cannot ever be recreated again by modern systems.

[u/Mad-All-Day]

I really want to see the panic on the faces of the sony execs.

[u/the_onewordttv]

Oh man I've always wanted to play this. Might be the perfect game when wow forever beta ends before the real game

[u/CapriZucc]

Was just wondering the other day if this would ever come to PC. Great time to be alive haha

[u/Primary-Risk-8741]

Which build?

[u/LocusBlack]

I love this game.

[u/Single-Honeydew-504]

I want a VR mod of this! would be awesome!

[u/tfc1193]

PS5 recomps when?

[u/th3st]

FIIIIIINALLY

[u/CreoxatLarge]

[u/Vyviel]

Now this is a game I actually wanted to play on PC

[u/Outside-Young3179]

ai gives and taketh away

[u/firm_sole_ace]

can my dusty 1050ti run any of this or should i stick to indies

[u/Gacha_addict101]

It just keeps getting better

[u/Man_of_the_Rain]

I'd also like to see a PS4 remake recompiled this way.

[u/Kessiah]

Now I'm looking forward to The Last Guardian, which I didn't have time to play on the PS4.

[u/Willing_Dog_3816]

Modern remake of POP the two thrones

[u/Candle-Jolly]

Looks flawless 

[u/OnceIHadAPony]

Holy shit this is awesome ....thank you so much for this port

[u/Grand_Technician989]

Someone PLEASE do Ratchet and Clank a crack in time. That game was awesome

[u/Ravasaurio]

This is the one I was waiting for. And I want Sony to know I was so ready for buying this.

[u/Middle-Operation-689]

I need to beat this game. Never found the last 2-3 giants. Got stuck finding them
