It is awesome indeed. I wanna see if the emulator will be able to handle The Last Of Us or God Of War 3. And GTX 970 is a beasty card, not as beast at a Titan X or 980 ti but its still a damn good card.

I wonder what will be the minimum req for the emu.

Hoffmann3053d ago

Just spoke with a friend about it via twitter (I am @GameArtHq btw.)

Hope the emulator is able to play D3 at full speed completely in a year maybe. I have that game on PS3 but you know, Disgaea games are just perfect to play when I make a pause from my website work for a couple of minutes. I also wonder if it might be possible to pirate that old $50 DLC for D3. Would love to do that, except they will release D3 for PC anyway and include the dlc

xfiles20993053d ago

Geez buy a PS3 and the games you cheap bastards lol

DarkOcelet3053d ago

@xfiles2099

I already have a PS3 and i already own the games i wanted to play :/

I want the emu because of the features that could be included like MSAA, 60FPS, Higher Resolution etc etc etc.

Crimzon3053d ago

What about people who have a lot of digital PS3 purchases but don't want to have a PS3 hooked-up to their TV forever? I've already paid for the games, so I don't see what's cheap about running them via emulator on PC so that I don't have to have a whole bunch of video game consoles sat underneath my TV.

The same goes for older gen games for SNES, PS2 & GameCube etc. because there's no way I was going to keep those consoles lying around forever, but occasionally I feel like revisiting F-Zero GX, Killer 7 or Yoshi's Island etc. I swear the people who have mountains of consoles and games laying around must still be living in their mothers basement or something.

BattleAxe3053d ago

So if some guy in his basement can emulate PS3 games on a PC, why can't we get Sony and their army of Engineers to do this on PS4?

Congratulations on waiting years to play these games! Let alone the true AAA exclusives :)

MadLad3053d ago

Why do people think PC gamers don't already have consoles?
We just enjoy the idea of owning the superior versions of almost any game we play.

Emulation allows for that in a world where people are paying premiums for digital versions of games they own, let alone remasters that don't even offer what emulation does.

Don't worry about us. We pay, like, 5 grand for our rigs or something. We can certainly afford these consoles and the handful of games they offer.

SunnyZ3053d ago

Hopefully one day I will be able to play Red Dead Redemption!

Hoffmann3053d ago

You could always just buy a PS3 and the game though. What prevents you from doing it now?

That's amazing the future looks bright for PC gaming

ARESWARLORD3053d ago

And before the naysayers start yapping I already own a ps3

Hoffmann3053d ago

Let's paint our PC's like a golden calb and dance around them already ;)

Gwiz3053d ago

Some games will be difficult to emulate,i highly doubt this means you're going to get GoWIII at decent FR as PS2 games are equally difficult to emulate.
I expected this to happen years ago,but when really analyzing the inner working of a PS3 it's very unlikely you can emulate this on a mid range PC.

Crimzon3053d ago

When PS2 emulation just began it required incredibly powerful hardware because there was zero optimization.

As time went by and it was optimized however, the requirements for running the emulator went down fast. The same will happen with PS3 and 360 emulation as the developers of the emulators gradually figure out how to make it run more efficiently. Bear in mind a mid-range PC these days is absolutely lightyears ahead of the PS3, once things are optimized they'll be able to handle PS3 emulation easily.

Gwiz3053d ago

There is a difference between the 360 and PS3,not to mention me saying decent FR.The SPE's in a PS3 operate in a very unconventional way just like the PS2's multi processor does.

They're able to run,yes.... But it's far from optimal even with PS2 games.

Crimzon3053d ago

Dude you can emulate PS2 games on a toaster at this point lol. Most people jack the resolutions and framerates up higher than they ever were originally and even add in higher-res textures and ENB effects on top, far surpassing what the PS2 hardware was ever capable of.

Seriously, I know some people have some weird pride about the PS3 architecture and how unconventional it is but you're kidding yourself if you don't think PCs will be able to emulate it just fine once development progresses on the emulator and things are optimized.

I3loggs243053d ago

The reason why this is happening now and not years ago, is because of the capabilities of DX12, give it 6 more months and i bet we will have Gears of War running at 1440p @ 60fps.

rainslacker3053d ago

This is a pretty good start though. The PS2 and PS1 emulators weren't this far along this early. Power requirements are beefy, but I give props to the people making the emulator making it work as well as they have to date.

It takes time though. Lots of nuances have to be accounted for, and sometimes those aren't even known until someone tries a game in it and runs across them.

Five Awesome PlayStation Franchises I'm Just Not That Into

A prodigal Sony gamer returns to find that not all beloved games are what they’re cracked up to be.

Uncharted and God Of War ?!?! do even playstation ?!

Timesplitter143114d ago (Edited 3114d ago )

I actually feel the same about Uncharted and GoW. They're very linear and non-replayable games, so it's understandable they're not for everyone.

And of course since this is N4G, people will automatically assume that not liking a game that happens to be on PS4 means I am secretly making a personal attack on Sony itself while tattooing Bill Gates' face on my forehead.

KingKionic 3114d ago

What playstation games do you like then?

Aloy-Boyfriend3114d ago (Edited 3114d ago )

I've replayed those games a lot, especially Uncharted Multiplayer. With God of War, at least GoW3 is one of those games I have to play at least once a year because it is so epic and memorable

I understand if some people don't like those or none at all, but they are fun games. The only PS franchises I can't get into are Quantic Dream's. Other than those, I love:

Infamous
Gran Turismo
Little Big Planet
God of War
Uncharted
TLOU
Sly Cooper
Jak and Daxter
Ratcher and Clank
Killzone
Resistance...

I could still go on because there's so much variety and awesome franchises in the Playstation portfolio, but that will make a big TL;DL comment.

With such big porfolio, it is obvious PlayStation will have a divided fanbase that would choose one franchise ovmer another. it's called Diversity. I for one love the all except for a couple of them, but overall all franchises are pretty good imo.

Timesplitter143114d ago (Edited 3114d ago )

@KionicWarlord222

Bloodborne

I almost didn't answer you because I find it borderline insane that someone would go all suspicious on me and my "allegiances" because I said I didn't like some game. Some people do not judge games based solely on whether they're a Sony or MS franchise, you know?

Almost makes me want to lie and say I hate all PS4 games just to see fanboys get mad

Klonoa-dreamtraveler3114d ago

Timesplitter14@ Sony fanboys are getting worse and worse on this site.

I used to think Nintendo diehards were pretty bad but now i'm not seeing a difference fanboy's in general are just annoying and bias all together to anyone's opinion.

You don't like what they like all the sudden you're not a gamer you're not a fan you're stealth trolling etc. plus i'm not into GOW either i'm not too big on uncharted either but i'm still getting uncharted 4. I still enjoy the game it's just not a big deal to me as it may be for others. it's ridiculous how people just can't respect that people have different taste.

Automatic793114d ago (Edited 3114d ago )

I partially agree with the article.

I never liked

Diseagea
Dragon Quest
Persona
Infamous
Twisted Metal

Loved

God of War
Socom
Syphon filter
Resistance
Uncharted

Certain games are not for everyone but having the option of different games helps filter out what you dont like.

I agree with those. Uncharted is a good game for the tech, but most third-party games are more entertaining and fun overall. The story isn't bad, but it's not great either. God of War, played the first three, and see no reason to play any other until they decide to move away from the "they made me kill my wife and kids! Everything must die! *stab stab stab*"

Aloy-Boyfriend3114d ago

Killing the Greek gods and the beasts was fun, and it wasn't just for no reason. There's a story there you probably didn't miss. Every game involves some kind of killing. It's a video game.

As for Uncharted, well, not many third party games are overall more fun. That depends because anyone can say COD is more fun. Some comparisons may come as pretty unfair, but I;m glad Uncharted exist and the way ND handles the series makes it a league of its own

Timesplitter143114d ago

@XiKurapikaKurta

Here we have people saying whether they liked a game or not. This is always fine.

What isn't fine, however, is trying to tell someone they were WRONG about not liking a game, and that you know better than them about what they like.

Christopher3114d ago (Edited 3114d ago )

***There's a story there you probably didn't miss. Every game involves some kind of killing. It's a video game. ***

The story was vengeance. Plain and simple. That's all it was. Kratos just got angry at everyone for anything and killed things. He is a one-dimensional character who just kills and kills and kills.

Saying there's killing in video games doesn't change that most other notable characters in other games have way more character development and evolve beyond just killing for killing.

***not many third party games are overall more fun. ***

Yeah, they are. Uncharted has limited weapon use, almost just the 'base' concepts. It has no form of character growth/development or form of customization that many other games have that allow you to control how you play the game and allow you to focus on the playstyle you like. It has great acting, one-time good story, great one-liners, and great tech, but as far as fun? Far Cry 4, Wolfenstein, Tomb Raider, and more have been a lot more enjoyable and offered more way to play, IMHO. Their stories may not be the same as Uncharted, but their gameplay is definitely more fun and diverse.

shadowknight2033114d ago

4600 trophies, psn lv 23, a mad love for sony, who loves uncharted 1&2, was deeply disappointed with uncharted 3's story. But other then that I find it hard for anyone to not like uncharted, it has memorable characters, good gameplay, fantastic cinematics/set pieces.

Those are the namesake of Playsation, but I can see where he's coming from. He liked Resident Evil and Final Fantasy, but I wonder what he plays now..

gangsta_red3114d ago

The first two Disgaea games were awesome and funny as hell. After that though I did lose interest in the series. I did want to go back to the Laharl sequel but never got a chance to.
