RPCS3 - Heavenly Sword now Playable (4K 60FPS Gameplay)

Back in June, kd-11 fixed a frequent "Out of video memory" crash which affected Heavenly Sword and Resistance: Fall of Man. This made both games much more stable and both are now in a Playable state. kd-11 also fixed Heavenly Sword's broken shadows in July by allowing depth bounds test to access the Z buffer even when depth test is disabled.

As mentioned in the title, the Gameplay footage here is running at 60FPS (above the game's 30FPS frame-rate cap). In order to run Heavenly Sword at 60FPS, create a custom config in RPCS3, by right-clicking the game and clicking "create custom configuration", Now, go to the advanced settings tab and change vblank to 120hz. Once saved, remember that once you have a custom configuration for a game it won't use the global settings anymore, so you will need to right-click the game and open the configuration settings from there.

Heavenly Sword uses SIXAXIS to aim projectiles by default, but this can be disabled in the game's settings. If you want to use SIXAXIS however, you will require a DualShock 3 or 4 controller. DualShock 4 controllers are natively supported in RPCS3 through their windows drivers. But DualShock 3 users are required to follow the instuctions on our wiki here: https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?titl... in order to get SIXAXIS working.
