Looking at that video, I assume they have an excellent PC, framerate seemed pretty bad, though I suppose you can always dial down the resolution and it will still be superior to the ps3.What's the framerate like on a decent PC?
I have some PS3 games I wouldn't mind playing again (like Folklore for example), but I can't bring myself to boot up my old Slim unit...
I dont understand Sony's insistence on blocking even the simplest emulator. PS1 games!Wow, I take it that's real-time? The choppy framerate makes me think that's likely.
Sony need to hire these guys and get the emulator running in plenty of time for the PS5. Sony are going to have to respond to Microsoft's persistent library, and what better way than releasing a PS5 that can play every game of every previous PlayStation home console?
If you're playing old games you're not playing (paying for, really) new games!I dont understand Sony's insistence on blocking even the simplest emulator. PS1 games!
PS1 competing against PS4 games doesnt sound normal. People wouldnt have been buying PS4's if they werent interested in PS4 gamesIf you're playing old games you're not playing (paying for, really) new games!
...That's the sticking issue, I strongly suspect.
MS sells old gen games in their store thanks to BC. Even if Sony doesnt sell PS1 and PS2 games on Store (which arent taking away any money from PS4 games) the brand loyalty is part of the buisiness.I don't think that's how the beancounters reason. This is a principles thing; there's a buck to be made by not offering BC/emulation.

One of the developers of this had to report a driver bug to Nvidia months ago. From reports, the latest driver release improves this problem, but not completely.

"That's because many PS3 titles stored extremely high-resolution assets on the PS3's Blu-Ray discs, then crushed those textures down for faster processing by the console.", I expect in future they wont be doing that thenThat explains it thenA little write up on what’s happening:

never thought those textures looked that good, ever. In fact the praised Killzone 2 looked to me like a brown and grey mess of pixels and never got the hype and drooling over it. The difference can be seen in the video above. It's the same game but they look like totally different games when played at 4k! Interesting tweet btw."That's because many PS3 titles stored extremely high-resolution assets on the PS3's Blu-Ray discs, then crushed those textures down for faster processing by the console.", I expect in future they wont be doing that thenThat explains it then
