gaming in pc

[raazxt]

game of playstation and other device can be possible now days. Now a days every gaming device is duplicate by emulator. By this software we can play the game of we want.

Emulators are rarely accurate, and in any case playing games you don't own on an emulator is illegal.

But once it's downloaded, wouldn't you then own it?

I'm thinking that won't hold up in court

Not legally, no.

Emulators are generally such old games the ones that made them dont give a .... about them any more anyway and emulators of old games are actually pretty good as the power to run them is tiny...

Emulators for Pc's ask to much memory and i have never found a Ps3 emulator, to program such a thing is almost impossible, at-least impossible for your memory and processor even if you have a high-end computer.

That's pretty much always been true of emulators of contemporary or last-gen consoles.

Typically, emulators are only accurate two generations previous to this one.

Give it about 10 or so years, and PS3 will easily be emulated on computers by then.

10 years... not worth it were i lived Ps3's are about 80euro's much cheaper then a couple of memory cards.

I have a 3 or 4 year old PS2 emulator which has worked without any significant issues since I got it (and they were available long before then, it is merely that that is when I really started using them - and yes I own both the consoles and the games - though there are some games in my virtual collection which I cannot buy anywhere even after years of looking for them)

PS3s COULD be emulated were the effort invested, the problem is however that the step from PS2>PS3 in specs required would translate to a more significant step up in the specs of the system running the emulator (given the requirement to parse the instructions in such a way as to facilitate the replication on a platform they were not intended for) and recently there has been a very significant reduction in the increase of computing power for PCs; it could be done, however it would likely be a little slow so you would likely have to drop some frames to compensate. With the step to the PS4 this obstacle becomes even greater as successive generations of consoles are slowly diminishing the gap in processing and memory capabilities with gaming PCs (which are running into a wall in terms of development).

When playing the PS2, I heartily enjoyed the games on the platform and for those that did not suit the PS2 (such as strategy games) I liked my PC; this trend continued with the current generation; the PS3 (after it dropped backwards compatibility) required me to either hook up my PS2 or PC - the choice was easy, especially since some gaming experiences (such as strategy games) simply did not suit the console; likewise with the PS4 - the gaming experience provided is unlikely to suit certain genres and indeed I will continue to rely on my PC in that respect.

However, PC gaming has long since been trending towards this DRM B.S. (I have not knowingly bought a game that requires steam or similar service for several years; whether required for play or for mere installation - only online games require such a service and only those am I willing to tolerate having such a service required) for that reason I had been looking to invest more heavily in consoles and so I looked to Playstation (before they pulled their PS3 B.S), Xbox (before they unveiled the monstrosity that was One and the rather disturbing design considerations which remain despite their alterations such as regarding surveillance capabilities) and Nintendo (yet their gimmick based approach to the gaming experience over the last decade offends me).

Perhaps I am simply too old for this sh.. or too grumpy; I remember with nostalgia a time of fantastic innovations in gaming experiences across the board and am sadly unable to reconcile the current gaming industry with their roots. It was in that golden period (4th to half way through the 7th generation of consoles and the same period for PCs) which is relevant to the emulation discussion; and as far as I am concerned - there are relatively few games outside of that period which have really been all that interesting - and I say that with some disappointment at releases since then as opposed to fanboyism for that period (though indeed I do admit that - indeed there are some really old games that I would buy if I could actually get my hands on them)

Two words for you:

GOG

Indie

At the very least I can assure that not only will my games be DRM free (insofar as while they will be available on Steam, you'll be able to get them elsewhere), they'll be 100% open source upon release.

And there is ONE reason so far to get a Wii U: Earthbound.

Oh I am indeed a fan of the Indie scene (its one of the few sources of recently released games that interest me atm); I was however talking about the industry as a whole... DRM, some rather dubious DLC strategies etc... there has been a cancer growing in the gaming community for about a decade now (okay its probably older than that, but it was barely noticeable before that).

You mean the triple-A industry.

Yeah, there's a lot of problems there. There's even been some speculation that it very well could crash in the near future.
