The last console made by gentlemans with free playstation online play. Noble years before Sony became greedy corporation.
I would love to revisit some games, but the online aspect is a big portion that I’ve been missing. I would love to revisit some of the world’s people created in little big planet. Is that possible?
I’d have to imagine those were all hosted by Sony servers. You would have to convince PSN that the emulator is a real PS3, which is probably a significant challenge on top of the fact that Sony lawyers would probably be let loose on the idea for security implications.
You can totally get a fake PSN service running in RPCS3. It’s called RPCN. However, LittleBigPlanet servers were not hosted by PSN, they were hosted by Media Molecule in conjunction with Sony.
Unfortunately those servers were hacked and they took down everything. So any content for LittleBigPlanet 1, 2 or 3 is totally gone.
Thanks for doing the research I was too lazy to do 😅
I’m honestly surprised that since there was no plan for a little big planets 4, and a little big planet 3 had 1, 2, and 3, that they didn’t just release only the levels data, that way that people could run fan services.
It wouldn’t really cost all that much extra because they would only have to keep the data available for a week or two, and then the community would then keep it alive via torrents or their own off-site storage.
I can’t find a proper source, but I think even the fan communities were taken down.
It is not surprising that Sony would hold that level data close to the chest. If LBP4 did actually become a thing, they could release all that legacy data as day 1 content.
I have had a weird urge to play Tokyo Jungle, maybe I’ll finally check out ps3 emulation
Hoping Uncharted 2 works soon. Seems like a perfect game to play on steam deck.
Looking forward to replaying some of the PS3 classics. Although for emulation I’ll probably have to wait until I get something more powerful than my Steam Deck.
I’m in the process of selling all the physical Playstation 3 games that I managed to get for cheap on GOG, but the exlusives and others will have to be emulated.
Steam Deck is surprisingly capable for PS3 emulation for many games. Have you tried it?
Not yet but the games I wasn’t able to find on GOG are Killzone 2-3, Uncharted 1-3, God Of War 3 and GT5.
If I remember well, some of these were reported as too demanding for the Deck last time I checked.
And even if I could play them I’m too lazy/scared to install 10 plugins and I wouldn’t want to have a short battery life.
