Skate 3 is finally playable on PC—but it’s far from ideal

4.2

A YouTuber recently got a collection of PS3 games running on PC through an emulator, most intriguing of which is arguably Skate 3.

The Skate 3 emulation suffers from some notable visual issues, but surprisingly, it seems to run without too much of a problem. It may not be the most optimal way to enjoy the game, but the work could pave the way for a smoother Skate 3 experience on PC down the line.

The other games YouTuber reznoire managed to get working on their RPCS3 emulator include Dante’s Inferno, Resogun, and Daytona USA. All of the emulated games—with the exception of Daytona USA—are console-exclusive titles, and while this is an alternative for PC players, it seems preferable to just play them on consoles than resort to this.

However one chooses to play Skate 3, it will be the most advanced Skate experience fans will be enjoying for some time. Earlier this year, publisher EA revealed that is was “not presently making Skate 4.” Things could have changed over recent months, but fans shouldn’t get their hopes up for an announcement any time in the immediate future.

Seen a youtube video on this around last week. The Emulator is pretty cool but there is still alot of work to be done for things to fully function properly.

I still sometimes hop on skate 3 on my xb1, i cant wait to see what modders do to the game, all we had was custom tattoos and shirts before they shut down the site.

When you're shadow is brighter than your future.

Skate 3 was an all time favorite, hoping more work is put it to make it smoother and better.
