The RPCS3 team has announced that Heavenly Sword is now playable on PC in 4K and 60fps via the latest version of their Playstation 3 emulator. While the PS3 version is locked at 30fps, PC gamers can unlock the framerate and enjoy the game at 60fps.
To run Heavenly Sword at 60 fps, you need to create a custom configuration in RPCS3. You can do this by right-clicking on the game and clicking “Create Custom Configuration”. After that you need to go to the Advanced tab and change vblank to 120hz.
Once saved, keep in mind that once you have a custom configuration for a game, you will no longer use the global settings. So you have to right click on the game and open the configuration settings from there. ”
It is also worth noting that kd-11 could fix a number of graphical glitches and issues. For example, he fixed a frequent crash “Out of video memory” that affected Heavenly Sword and Resistance: Fall of Man. Furthermore, he fixed the broken shadows of Heavenly Sword by allowing depth limits to access the Z buffer, even when depth testing is disabled.
It is very much a testament to the progress that the RPCS3 team is making with this Playstation 3 emulator. In July, the team announced that RPCS3 online play support via PSN emulation.
You can download the latest version of RPCS3 from their official website.
Enjoy!
