It’ll be a very, very long time before PlayStation 4 games can be played at a level that’s equivalent to their console counterparts, but one developer has hit a major milestone. According to Inori – the emulator’s author – GPCS4 has managed to boot and run its first commercial title, a 2D twin-stick shooter called We Are Doomed.



The game isn’t actually playable in its current state (“the FPS is very low”), nor is it graphically intensive in any sense of the word, but this is interesting progress nonetheless and testament to the ingenuity of the emulation scene. Sooner or later, we’ll be able to run classics such as Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 on PC, which should be very cool to see on future GPUs.
