PCSX2 vs. RPCS3: Jak and Daxter

[@cako7139]

The PS3 Remaster for PS5 would be awesome as 4K Remaster!

[@alexisaguirrevazquez7900]

Without pouch glitch.

[@alexisaguirrevazquez7900]

@@rage2387 Jak 2 has the most issues on ps3 just to give you a heads up. Also the CMOS battery issue with the ps3 if you download them.

[@rage2387]

@@alexisaguirrevazquez7900 I know, even though the ps3 version looks better I usually play the ps4 version but I mean I wish they would remake the games like crash and Spyro because they deserve it

[@alexisaguirrevazquez7900]

@@rage2387 The PS3 version embarrasses the ps4 release of Jak and daxter. I can tell you that right now.

[@totizedger]

I think it was an odd choice not releasing the PS3 remaster on the PS4 as it looks better than the original PS2 version. Tried RPCS3 on my pc with this game and it didn’t run very well which was expected but i was looking forward to play the game in 4K :/

[@gianlucamelis9417]

dude try pcsx2 and upscale it to 4k it should look amazing and runs 10x better as rpcs3

[@devilsword]

Try it now. It runs great on steam deck

[@UBvtuber]

OpenGOAL is your friend :)

[@tripleheadedmonkey420]

Between the 2 I'd recommend playing the PS2 version, because the PS3 version has an intermittent bug when punching and with a couple of setting tweaks you can get the PS2 version to look just as crystal clear as the PS3 version at stock settings.

[@tripleheadedmonkey420]

In the PS2 emulator, the X and Y axis are out of sync and need slight adjustment. Once that's done it makes it look gorgeous.

[@DonkeyPlanet]

Yes, I know about the punch glitch. The best way to play Jak and Daxter, is with Open GOAL

[@StormyIV]

Does the PS3 one also have a 60 FPS cap? If so then ill probably just play the PS2 version.

[@verify2k105]

Does anyone know where I can find that drum sample from 1:08 it plays a lot in forbidden jungle and in other areas of the game. I've been looking everywhere don't really know what its called but I'm pretty sure it sounds like a huge drum cymbal that rides out it's a very unique sound.

[@verify2k105]

it plays at 1:26 too it might be a whole drumkit it sounds similar to in game ost

[@TransTaey]

@@verify2k105 it's like a pitched out gong almost.

[@verify2k105]

@@TransTaey thankyou that's the instrument I was looking for I am pretty sure you are correct.

[@alexisaguirrevazquez7900]

Can you try out Jak 2 and 3 for this comparison?

[@DragonBlueSpirit]

Is actually playable now? I haven't been following the emulation of Jak lately but there were quite a few glitches in both emulators. Hope it's up an running perfectly now

[@Kakerate2]

Id guess the bugs are from running pcsx2 in hardmore mode. Software mode is a lot more CPU-intensive, but corrects most of the artifacts.

[@wojtulacehoe5089]

The only problem with PS2 emulator and Jak games is big performance drops in some places in Heaven City (Jak 2). Other than that, the emulation is perfect.

[@berkaydemirci]

There is an unofficial PC port now called OpenGOAL

[@DragonBlueSpirit]

@@berkaydemirci just checked it out! Looks promising!

[@MrsBlaileen1]

RPCS3 Wiki still lists Jak and Daxter as “Ingame”, meaning it can’t be completed.

[@MrAdas-pe9fk]

U know where i can download collection from?

[@baaron1354]

Yes please tell me where to get the game

use google

[@Kernowparadise]

You can pirate PS3 ISOs from a variety of different sites, none of which I feel at liberty to mention here for obvious reasons but if you search hard enough, you'll find them. Alternatively if you own the game and a jailbroken PS3 console then you can rip the game disc to the PS3's hard drive and use a cable to transfer the game ISO to the PC using FileZilla, however RPCS3 only reads games that are unpacked from their ISO files into their base folders.

[@michaelwalker552]

Would love to see the same test on newer hardware

[@DonkeyPlanet]

It's not possible now, I don't have money for new Pc.

[@michaelwalker552]

@@DonkeyPlanet oof that sucks

[@pimenjoyer.221]

To my logic the lower specs is a good thing. So both sides of the gamer community know they can run these.

[@bellumzeldads106]

PCSX2 is 100x smoother than RPCS3 for jak trilogy

[@hajinka98_]

You can tweak PS2 emulator to almost look like PS3 tho

[@MarUlberg]

Ye. i came here to see what would be better to emulate the game on, but it seams OP is just running native resolutions. So as long as there are no major glitches the RPCS3 will always look better.

[@ieclipsedblaze7204]

Has PCSX2 fixed the random speed up in Jak 2 and 3?

[@DonkeyPlanet]

Unfortunatelly, I don't know... :(

[@ieclipsedblaze7204]

@@DonkeyPlanet Dang it’s so close to being enjoyable to play on PC. Oh well still have my PS3 to play the HD collection :)

[@spartacuscreator]

Ye the issue is fixed bro. I can play the whole whing without any issues.

[@ImUzis]

@@spartacuscreator do you still need to use opengl to fix the shadows or no?

[@よしのん尊い侍]

Well, Open-Goal's native PC port is superior.

[@thevirginityslayer]

For PCSX2 is this put on the max graphics like 1080p or something? and is the rpsc3 graphics still better?

[@DonkeyPlanet]

Both running in 1080p

[@thevirginityslayer]

@@DonkeyPlanet I tried using the rpsc3 one, do you know how to stop making the color of the sky flickering and glitching

[@DonkeyPlanet]

@@thevirginityslayer I will make a video about my settings soon

[@RegalPixelKing]

The PS3 version uses uncompressed textures which makes the PS3 version of the game look better even if the internal resolution of both emulators are set to 1080p.

[@granvillimus]

@@RegalPixelKing Another reason it looks blurrier in PCSX2 is because the PS2 version normally has an aggressive interlacing effect. The sequels ran in a sharp 480p progressive mode and didn't have this problem. There's a cheat code available to disable the interlacing in Jak 1, and it sharpens it up considerably. Though at this point, if you have a powerful enough PC, it might be as good if not better to just run the PS3 version (provided it's lacking any major bugs currently).

[@kazuthegreat]

You can definitely get better specs my boy!

[@DonkeyPlanet]

Yes I would like, but I don't have enough money for a new computer... But this 8 years old PC config is still very good and I'm happy to have it 😊
