I wonder if it is actually supporting ps4 in the update its added support on opengl

saladthieves3728d ago

I should not have read that...
Now I lost braincells I'll never get back :/

hay3728d ago (Edited 3728d ago )

It sure is supporting OpenGL part of the PS4.

But seriously, OpenGL is a 'middlebit' between your GPU and application, whenever you want to draw something on your screen(3D for the sake of purpose) either OpenGL(Pretty much any platform) or DirectX(Native Windows, third party, various systems) will be the one to be asked how much and which way.

So yeah, it will handle the draw calls, but it won't be able to even reach this phase as hardware/software architecture is entirely different.

justlikeme3728d ago

Just a matter of time homebrew will be on PS4. I can see this being one of the apps.

tee_bag2423727d ago

They could but the won't. Sony would rather sell you games you already own again.

PurpHerbison3727d ago

To be fair, pretty much everyone sells you games you already own. Hardly any innovation in this age of gaming.

Hicken3727d ago

I hate how Sony forces you to buy the games again. The oil from the gun barrel they put against my head really irritates my skin.

XtraTrstrL3728d ago

seems it's a good chance this is being released now because the ps1/ps2 emulation news that came out recently. Maybe Sony is working with them, who knows.

brich2333728d ago

or just stealing their work, and getting it to work on thier console lol. Since it already has similar PC architecture im sure it cant be to hard to port it over.

peowpeow3727d ago

PS2 has similar architecture?

4ShotKing3728d ago

Downloaded and now playing Kingdom Hearts in 1080p 60 FPS. This will be glorious!

Snookies123728d ago

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix looks amazing in 1080p at 60FPS. Play that quite a lot on my PC. Good stuff, good stuff indeed.

peowpeow3727d ago

Oh my god I'm going to get right onto this

Magicite3728d ago

Big thanks to guys who developed PS1 and PS2 emulators. Now I am able to play my favourite classics at any framerate/resolution and they all look like HD remakes. Great job!

Was the PS2's Birthday Overlooked?

I almost forgot that this year my favourite console turned 20, I feel like it deserved so much better. So come to memory lane and let me explain how it deserved so much better than the little it got.

Mortal Kombat: Deception
Tekken 5
Soul Calibur 2
Virtua Fighter 4
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects

Would be nice if we got a PS2 Mini. With hardware getting older now it's good to have a newer version that works.

Tross1411d ago

Hopefully one actually made by Sony, as that would be nice. I'm still a bit let down by the PS1 Classic Mini.

anubusgold1411d ago

It would just disk read error or eat your game save lol.

PixelKnot1411d ago

Great list. I would like to add Burnout Revenge, Dark Cloud 1 & 2 to that pile. The PS2 is still my favorite PlayStation to this day, especially with the big three platformers that debuted in that era. I wish Midnight Club would make a comeback. I remember spending countless hours on GT4 when I was a kid.

DonDon30001411d ago

Ps1 is still my favorite, but yeah ps2 was epic

YourMommySpoils1411d ago

Evil Dead games were my cup of tea.

MWH1411d ago

The list goes on and on, it sure was a great generation.

That reminds me, I haven't played my PS2 in awhile. So many good memories with that console. I don't miss those cords with the controllers though

YoungKingDoran1411d ago

Some good wireless options for ds3 and 4 these days though and with FreeMCBoot (~$5 memory card on ebay) you can use most standard BT dongles via usb port

Skuletor1411d ago

Will have to check that out. Wonder how many controllers you can hook up with the BT at once. I currently use the 4 player multitap to play games like Def Jam Fight for NY and Timesplitters 2 with 3 other people.
