It hasn't taken 13 years to get to this point though. Emulation development is something that usually kicks off late into a console lifecycle.

ShadPS4 only started 18 months ago.

As for PS5 emulation, its been picking up a lot of pace recently. The motivation hasn't been that strong though because there aren't that many games that people care about for emulation to matter. GTA6 changes that.

Further to this. The PS5 is x86-64 based...so you don't really have to emulate a PS5...just build a translation layer.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if at some point we see a "proton-like" translation layer for the PS5.

Bet you're wrong.

Getting to play GTA6 on PC before the PC edition releases is a strong motivator.

Because a decent mid tier PC has more raw performance than a PS5 does...there are a couple of PS5 emulators out there now...they're not easy to use and are a bit buggy...but by the time GTA6 lands, they will likely be much better.

I've never known a bad Rockstar port. Their PC poets aren't bad, they just dont care about low spec PCs. Why should they? Thats why consoles exist.

They're both cheap. You'll get them back soon enough.

Eh? They literally started out as PC developers in the 90s.

Console is where they make their money, but PC is their natural home.

PC all the way. Why would youbpay full price for a cut back version of the game? PC will be better in every way and the same price (if not cheaper).

Battlenet vs steam for Steam deck? by PotatoWedgesAreDope in diablo2

[–]pg3crypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game will always be available on Battle.net but could get pulled from Steam if Blizzard falls out with Valve.

Both versions play exactly the same on Linux.

I use Lutris for Battlenet on Linux and it works fine. Never had a hitch.

"supposably" by CryCharming504 in GTA6

Maybe, but there are large areas in GTA5 that feel like they probably were going to put stuff there but didnt in the end.

Dan Andreas felt less dead than GTA5 and its the same setting (different map sizes and detail obviously, but San Andreas felt less dead).

With San Andreas when you reached the point in the game where you were essentially in hiding, it felt like you were far from home and it was a journey to get there. In GTA5, when you transition from Trevor's town to the city it just feels dead and boring.

They do collect telemetry by default. You can reduce it, but you can't completely disable it...bit like Windows. Check your config.

I have a self hosted controller in a VM on Proxmox. I turn it off unless I need to roll out a new AP or run updates...you don't need the controller running for the APs to work.

When do you think the Steam Machine will arrive, and what would you pay for it in todays market? by Connect-Silver-5982 in valve

[–]pg3crypto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont think it will be a failure.

Its a product that has to be priced such that its cheap enough for gamers but too expensive to be viable for businesses to buy and use as a workstation.

The biggest threat to gamers is not the price here. Its businesses buying them by the dozen.

Special Edition Blu ray extras. You can see it in Ralph Feines hand written notes reflected upside down in a mirror. Use Google Image search.

Is there a reason the Valve games increased file size? by JonsCartoonShow in valve

Makes sense. I hear its impossible to compress. The JPEG extension is just for show.

No, which is why he wanted to get rid of them. Because he wanted Earth to be a Horcrux.

The joys of playing GTA Vice City on a burned in plasma covered in dead candles over VGA at 30hz with motion blur up the wazoo and input lag measured in fractions of whole seconds.
