PlayStation 4 emulator shadPS4 shows progress in playing Bloodborne on PC, outpacing the competition and showing potential for future ports of exclusive games.
Bloodborne Emulation
Breakthrough in PS4 Emulation
Emulator Developers PlayStation 4, called shadPS4, presented the first gameplay footage of the cult game Bloodborne on a personal computer. The video material was published on the Discord channel of the project, demonstrating the capabilities of the not yet released version of the emulator.
Performance and graphics issues
Despite the lack of a built-in FPS counter, visually the game runs quite smoothly, supposedly reaching around 30 FPS. However, despite the unexpectedly high performance, the gameplay is accompanied by many graphical artifacts, which makes a full playthrough of Bloodborne impossible for now.
Emulator potential
In addition to Bloodborne, shadPS4 shows encouraging results with other games. For example, Red Dead Redemption Remastered already runs at a stable frame rate of 30 frames per second. ShadPS4 unexpectedly took the lead among the competition in the field of PS4 emulation, significantly ahead of six other projects: psOff, fpPS4, Spine, RPCSX, Kyty and GPCS4.

Wow, finally Bloodborne on PC! 🎮 Although with bugs, this is a huge step forward. I wonder how long it will take to get it perfect?
Amélie
I agree, Luca! The progress is impressive. But I'm more interested in Red Dead Redemption Remastered. 30 FPS stable - it's already playable! 🤠
Hans
Have you guys seen how shadPS4 beats other emulators? This is simply incredible! I wonder what their secret is? 🤔
Isabella
Hans, maybe they have some kind of genius programmer on their team? 😄 Either way, I'm excited about the prospect of playing Bloodborne on my PC!
George
Honestly, I don't understand this hype. Why waste time on half-baked emulators when there are tons of great native PC games? Bloodborne is already outdated, it's time to move on.
Luca
George, what are you doing? Bloodborne is a classic! The atmosphere, gameplay, bosses - everything is at the highest level. Games like this never get old! 😍
Amélie
I agree with Luca! George, you just haven't tried this game. I'm sure if I played it, I would change my mind. And emulators are a chance for many to enjoy exclusives.
Hans
Okay, enough arguing! 😅 Let's think about what other PS4 games would you like to see on PC thanks to this emulator?
