Dom from DarkZero writes "[w]hile I’m not a religious person, there is something fascinating behind the concept of being able to play God – the one almighty being that sits above the clouds somewhere and watches over us, listening to us and leaving us to self-destruct on the planet. But, if we are to believe what we see in the entertainment medium, being God isn't what it is all cracked up to be. Just watch Jim Carrey as Bruce Nolan in the film Bruce Almighty for a good example. Poor guy was so happy he got to play God, as it was his chance to create a new life and flash off his newly acquired godly powers for his own good. It didn't last long; dude became overwhelmed with voices from prayers from inhabitants of the planet that the fun was gone and he was left with chores of ungodly proportions. It's no wonder Bruce wanted to quit such a demanding job."
Sony announced the April PlayStation Plus lineup for Japan which includes The Guided Fate Paradox from Nippon Ichi Software. This roguelike is a spiritual sequel to Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman and prequel to The Awakened Fate Ultimatum which came out in North America recently.
Digitally Downloaded writes: "What is appealing about the roguelike is that on a very fundamental level, from the very building blocks of the sub-genre's creation, it is absurdism in motion. And, just like absurdism in theatre, literature, and the other arts, through its repetitive mechanical structure it tells us a lot about the human condition because it is so damned addictive."
RPCS3 is undoubtedly an emulator with huge potential. YouTube’s member ‘B1ackDaemon’ has recently released a video showing Sonic CD running and today, we’ve got another video showing The Guided Fate Paradox running via this emulator.
I wouldn't call this "running". rather crawling....and then with a game which probably doesn't use 90% of PS3's resources and still is buggy as hell. <1-2fps - which makes it almost look acceptable - wouldn't that video actually run at 8x the speed. This will never ever run PS3 games. Not even if they iron out the bugs. But, well, great achievement getting that far. Just can't see why people waste their time on a lost cause.
Wow that escalated faster than expected. Awesome work dudes, can't wait to play so many jrpg's i couldn't play. And red dead.
I always have one question when saw things like this:
If you got the skill (programming, etc) and time to make this emulator, than why not developed some games for PS3 rather than pirating/cracking other people works?
Still years off being useful, but it's a good start. :)
I thoroughly suspect we'll see a good PS4 emulator before we see a PS3 one. The PS4 is a lot more PC-like. Still, going to be ages before we get either.
