I’m putting a lot of my old games on my steam deck by buying their PC ports whenever they go on sale.
It got me wondering, is anyone aware of games where it’s actually better to run the console version through an emulator than play the native PC version?
Final Fantasy VII. The PC port is kinda bad and PSX emulators are very very good.
I’ll add FFVIII since the controls are better on PSX. If I remember correctly they lost the source code. In PC you can only move the character in 4 directions or maybe 8, but on psx they can move in full 360 degrees.
VIII’s especially egregious. They should remake it instead of IX purely because it’s the PSX version or a bad port.
This is what I came here to respond. If I recall, there are some good hi-res mods for the PSX emulated versions.
