Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus - PS3 vs. PS5 | Side by Side

[@viniciusrampazzo3606]

Actually kind of jarring how much the PS3 remaster butchers the original game's visuals. The intro where Sly is supposed to be clad in shadows simply doesn't work on PS3 at all, and the blur was completely eliminated for no reason. I like how the new version preserves the PS2 visuals better.

[@KoopaXross]

Cus the new version is just the PS2 version emulated with slightly better resolution and other enhancements. PS3 version is a full remaster.

We really need PS3 compatibility eventually I have so many digital PS3 games lol

[@st4r444]

Sony won't do it. $$$ Better to get a pc or handheld pc and use ps3 emulator

[@MiguelRodriguez-lp9et]

​@@st4r444PS5 CPU is still nowhere near enough to play ps3 games at acceptable speeds. Maybe next gen.

[@st4r444]

@MiguelRodriguez-lp9et i play ps3 emulator on my legion go and It's not much better in cpu power. People emulate ps3 with steamdeck too. The ps5 cpu imo is strong enough to emulate ps3. I seen people emulate ps3 with ryzen 3600 and it runs ok. The ps5 is supposedly similar to the 3600 if not more efficient.

[@saejima]

​@@MiguelRodriguez-lp9etIt is. I played a couple games on RPCS3 on my i5 6500 which is way worse than the PS5 CPU

[@MiguelRodriguez-lp9et]

@st4r444 Games that really pushed the ps3 to its limits, like killzone 2/3, the last of us, uncharted 2/3, God of war Ascension are nowhere near playable.

[@Spacething7474]

what's funny is that since the sly collection is streamable on ps plus, there's technically two vesions of sly cooper 1 on ps4/ps5! that's far from the first time it's happened for playstation backwards compatibility (or even xbox backwards compatibility!) but it's always amusing when it happens

[@NeoGamer]

PS3 streaming is not available on most countries.

[@Spacething7474]

Actually all four Sly Cooper games are on PS4 and PS5 but you'll have to get premium tier in order to play it

[@edson_rodrigues_]

i live in Brazil, PS Plus Cloud Gaming is not avaliable here, people from Australia also can't stream it, so for us, big countries, no cloud avaliability, for us this is the first and only Sly game playable on PS4/5

What I love about Sly Cooper is that there’s no half way fans. You play one, you’ve played them all and you’re Cooper Gang for life💯 what we need is a full on remake

[@samflood5631]

[@flo9894]

It is hard to say with one is the best. The PS3 looks way better on the modern TV but there is some lacks in this version that are obiously not in the PS5 version since it is the PS2 version. At the intro, sly isn’t in dark in the PS3, alors the sell shading effect on the models looks attenuated, and there is a few dialog bugs…

[@coolertuep]

Pc emulation is best, easy

[@flo9894]

@@coolertuep yeah.. but wich one 🤣

[@PeteOfDawn]

I wish there was an option to turn off the motion blur like on PCSX2. But other wise the emulation job is actually pretty good

[@Drackflame951]

Why does the PlayStation 3 emulator have the graphics more clean but it's missing some of the aesthetics from the actual game and from the PlayStation 5 it gets every aesthetic from the game in there except the graphics are a bit choppy? Can they just use the graphics on the left side and shifted to PlayStation 5 and still have the shadow affect overlay of Sly revealing from the light?

[@_Glamor]

The PS3 version isn't emulated, it's a full remaster along with the other 2 in the collection but with a handful of things being messed up. But the PS5 version is actually an emulation of the original PS2 version it's truest form without any visual upgrades, so it still keeps the 4:3, 480p resolution. And the only extra things you get are a rewind function and some new screen filters.

[@zachfernandez92]

PS3 is far better. The lighting for the PS5 version is better, but everything else is far better on the PS3.

[@Number1Tailsfan]

You’re saying “emulated” like it’s a bad word.

[@coolertuep]

On pc you can emulate the ps2 game in 4k with high res textures

[@sc4rl3t30]

@thefearlessduck I study graphic design so I can tell easily xD

[@DanSutherland]

So people really are just complaining about resolution and saying the PS3 version is better? I find the effects rendering properly way more important, it's not even close. It's actually important to the artistic integrity too. If I really cared about it I'd get an mClassic/mCable or Upscaler and then there's no downsides to the PS5 version at that point. Is there more to it that I'm missing?

[@Number1Tailsfan]

Or you can insert the disc in your computer and have PCSX2 emulate it in a higher resolution than 960p.

Thankfully we don't get the PS3's horrible Mz. Ruby boss, which couldn't even sync the music to the buttons.

[@ELEKTROSKANSEN]

That was my first thought, but then - Sly is a game about a stealthy thief, about shadows and darkness; it kinda fits with the vibe to have things a bit harder to be seen...

​@@ELEKTROSKANSENhard disagree there it looks blurry as hell. They could have easily ported the PS3 version it looks amazing on my Pc when I emulate the PS3 version why would anyone bother buying this if anything this will just tell Sony no one wants it cuz the majority of fans won't buy it

[@ELEKTROSKANSEN]

@@madaraman27 I will not disagree back, just present an opposite opinion. I know majority of players will reject it, I'm the minority that prefers to play it with blurry graphics on an old CRT tv because to me it feels more in line with the original intention of the dev. PS3 version is so clean that it looks "wrong" to me. Everyone is free to get the PS3 version if the prefer it, though, so luckily we're both covered!

No physical game, never going to get. Digital is dumb. The original 3 games and 4 need a physical remaster and bug fixes.
