In April 2020, we informed you about a Playstation 4 emulator that could actually launch commercial games. And yesterday, Playstation scener Nagatoro shared its latest September 2021 build (with permission from spinedev).

In case you aren’t aware of, Spine is a Playstation 4 emulator for Linux. This emulator can launch numerous commercial PS4 games, and according to its compatibility list, it can run approximately 35% of the 1000 tested games.
Spine is not the only PS4 emulator that is currently under development. The first Playstation 4 emulator we reported on was Orbital. From what we know, Orbital cannot run any commercial game. However, another PS4 emulator, GPCS4, can actually launch and run some games.
As always, you should temper your expectations. While these emulators can run some games, they will NOT allow you to play God of War or Uncharted 4 on PC. I mean, even the best PS3 emulator, RPCS3, cannot run its most demanding games on PC yet.
Still, I’m certain that some of you will be interested in testing this PS4 emulator.
Have fun!

Funny, not a single youtube test video…
Actually the developer have post the test on youtube some time ago with older build in 2019. But the thing is it’s only run on Linux currently because of that this emu not very famous. Hope they can port it to windows later as not many people use Linux. Some exclusive games can already reach intro and even ingame, this one is the best PS4 emulator currently.
Interesting. I hadn’t heard of this.
Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima
everything else is irrelevant
I agree for Bloodborne, but GoT is the usual generic open world trash just like Horizon
I wouldn’t call Heian japan era Island “generic open world”
it’s one of the few games i actually dusted off my gaystation 4 to experiance proper
and i was amazed how such a weak console managed to make the environment and textures seems so lively
you truly wonder how amazing it would look on PC
sadly i don’t think they’ll ever port this to PC, it’s a system seller similar to bloodborne, and sony only ported the pozzed trash nobody wanted to PC
You must be really dense to think bloodborn is not coming to PC. If you weren’t you wouldn’t be interested in a f4ggy game at the first place.
Cardy B is also selling millions of albums despite making ear-bleeding music and Fortnite has millions of fans too, sales are not a quality check, it’s just a proof of a well executed marketing
“Some well known PC gamers (like for example bank4buckPCgamer)”
What??? Who?? Sorry, never heard of this dude or gal. Even doing a quick google search I could not find out who that person is. So yeah, sorry but that is not a known person
Agreed.
“Some well known PC gamers (like for example bank4buckPCgamer) bought PS5 just to play games like GoT and he loved it.”
??? Haha this guy just made up his own “anecdotal evidence”. You’re wild’n the FUQ out bro! ‘bank4buckPCgamer’ represents us all now I see. You’re fuq’d dude.
I’m still getting nightmares from all those super diverse minorities offering fetch quests in HZD. Can’t even remember any white NPCs after the prologue tbh. Shi?t’s fuc?ked.

You sound 12 and probably are.
Yep it’s definitely less woke compared to Horizon ZD, but i put it on the same category gameplay-wise, generic open world activities, dumb AI and AC-like assisted combat mechanics, it’s not bad, but not interesting either, only good when you have 50h to kill and nothing to play
Soyny desperately needs a Spine!
“The Order (IMO very underrated game)”
Your opinion and your tastes are trash mate
What do you consider as good taste buddy?
Is it even playable ? It’s more “watchable” if you ask me
Yeah a PC port is always welcome whatever the game, i don’t have a problem with it being short too, it’s more the shallow gameplay mechanics, and the extremely linear structure of the lvl design that bothers me, it’s also filled with QTEs while this thing is supposed to be a relic from the 2000s, there are games with the same structure like Uncharted 4 that have infinitely more respect for the player
How many lines does it render before shi?tting itself?
Can’t find link with playable games though, could anyone share?
