I have some vacation time on Friday so I’ll take my PS4 to GameStop to trade in (since they sell sports cards now I’ll get some packs with store credit). Once I got a gaming laptop I was spending more and more time playing games on it to the point where I was only using my PS4 to watch streaming. Now that I have chrome cast I really don’t have a need for it anymore. I’m officially in the PC Master Race. I’ve always bought Sony since I was a senior in high school and my dad said if I got a PS1 he would buy my first game (terrible deal since he bought Riven).
My main reason for getting a gaming laptop was that I couldn’t get quest mods in PS4 Skyrim. Now, if I ever come across a PS2 I’d happily buy that again but I saw one at a game store with 5 games for 700. From now on it’s Steam for me. I think I may do a playthrough of old Sierra games as well
Nice, Most gaming laptops should be able to emulate up to PS3 pretty easily. They can even emulate some PS4 games now.
Not a fan of PS3 emulations. I've been trying to emulate infamous on my deck and it just lags, I tried on PC and the same issue.
First two infamous games were great. Of course they fucked up the third one with a soy millennial hipster protagonist, and now the franchise is in limbo. Classic western dev.
To its credit, I don’t recall them leaning too heavily on racial grievances with that protagonist, who was native American. I imagine if that game came out now it would have been WAY more obnoxious. But it has been 10 years since I played it.
The "evil" ending of Infamous 2 is still one of the best in gaming. The entire standoff with Zeke, after an entire game of his redemption arc, is one of the strongest emotional gut punches I ever got.
I went from feeling awesome that I killed the nigger, who I hated the entire game to the point where I almost just went Good to avoid her, to just feeling like shit about everything.
All in all shockingly good writing in a game about a gravel voice guy with lightning hands.
It depends a lot on the specific game. Demon’s Souls I can get to run better than hardware for example. There’s patches and tweaks for pretty much every game, so if you mess around a little you might have a better experience.
I played Demon's Souls at 60 FPS on my steam deck. Great experience.
Truly the way Mika Zaki intended
Drakengard 3 literally runs better than hardware, to a point where its not even a question whatsoever and getting it operational was one of the earliest tasks for PS3 emulation.

Following the steps on this site I got Demons' Souls to run well, but that's probably the most emulated game for PS3. I'm not sure if other games are as well supported.
Cool! Are the games easy to find? I really wish I would’ve just kept my ps2. Such a great console
Yeah I usually go to Vimm’s Lair. they should have pretty much every PS2 game you would ever want. PS3 games take more tweaking but depending on the game and your hardware you can have a good experience.
Thanks!
I picked up a PS2 slim from a pawn shop, bartered them down to thirty bucks for the system, two memory cards, attachment cables, and a controller. Great purchase.
