News/Article The PS5 system itself is running on pc

Recently, we have seen massive developments in PS5 emulators (such as shadPS4 and Kyty), and how rapidly they have progressed in a short period.

​Now, developers have successfully booted the actual PS5 system software on PC.

​If this momentum continues in the future, it will eventually allow players to run PS5 exclusives directly on PC, marking the end of the era of console exclusivity.

Rough week, their PS5 got jailbroken, PS5 emulation, their big title supposed to be GOTY flopped hard, this year they're not winning anything.

As they deserve. They chose to make every single move that would piss off consumers. This is what they get.

Good. Fuck 'em. And I say that as a Playstation supporter since 1996.

They always made a bad choice ever since with PS3's launch, they got so cocky thinking they're dominating the gaming space till everyone go to their competitor instead, now it's happening once again. Never learn Sony.

Step 1: Tell everyone you're eliminating physical media

Step 2: Double down on your greedy anti-consumerism by literally arguing in court that it is "not plausible" for reasonable consumers to believe they own digital video games.

Step 3: Witness the backlash from the consumers you willfully abandoned as they move to render your hardware obsolete.

Marvel's Wolverine. The game is so hand holding to the point it treats you like an idiot, the fart marker even constant giving hints or telling you the objective, the bike section that plays itself, QTE without fail state and much more.

The reason why I said it's flopped because according to Insomniac's leak from few years ago, Sony expecting lots of sales like this is gonna be like their major IP and they're planning to do more with the series and Insomniac gonna do like bunch of other Marvel IP and Marvel expects them to perform as well hence why the game is so easy and hand holding, easy attract people who don't play games otherwise they would not collab again.

Edit: Comment got deleted because I linked about it.

Oh. I didn't think they were so ambitious with it.

Believe me, I was on the same boat as you but considering the budget, big name IP like X men, they sure they need to secure it by any mean possible. What led to it, we all know.

You say flopped, but the sale reports that are available say it sold more than they projected

They were expecting to perform like Spider Man PS4 btw which is too far fetch with their expectation.

I mean with GTA VI around the corner and PS5 Pro ostensibly being the best way to play the game, and with Microsoft/Xbox shitting the bed the last few years, Sony will "win" - albeit by not really doing anything.
