Can confirm that emulation is great with a powerful PC because the native resolutions on the console often didn’t do the games justice, and they’re absolute eyecandy upscaled 5x. Being able to modify a game that would otherwise run at 30 FPS so that it runs at a smooth 60 is also wonderful
I’m replaying FF7 right now… on disc 2, just got Cloud back, at Junion. I set up savegame syncs so I can play it on my big screen gaming desktop and also my phone (with bsp-d8 controller) it’s pretty swank
People I know (not PC gamers obviously) balk at the sight of me playing a PS1 game on today hardware.
“Why would you play a game that old on such a powerful computer?”
“That’s obvious, upscaling exists, and games from this era were/are more complete, entertaining and bug-free than most things released in recent years.”
I’m still using a GTX 1070. When I was building a new PC 2 years ago I had to decide whether to splurge on a new GPU. I thought about all of the games I played in the last 5 years and realized none of them were GPU intensive (the most intensive was Minecraft with shaders and that one was bottlenecked by my CPU). To this date I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that my GPU couldn’t handle.
Me too! I also built around the same time and had to decide whether or not it was worth upgrading… Still going strong for 1080p. (I don’t have a 4k monitor anyway)
I’m also on a 1070, but mine’s been trucking along since 2019. I do occasionally play something GPU intensive, but I often avoid going full MAX GRAFFICS because the laptop gets really toasty, which causes visible screen tearing due to most of the hot air being blown straight onto the fucking screen. Great engineering, ASUS, gg.
The 1070 was an amazing card for it’s time but DLSS 3 is a game changer, especially if you game at 4K. But for 1080p and below the 1070 can hold its own. I used one up until last year.
Still playing Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines all these years later. Writing more than makes up for dated combat. Hoping the second one is decent.
To be fair, as awesome as World of Darkness is… Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines is still the only good Video Game adaptation they’ve made (Why is it this hard!!!)
