I didn't know until very recently but PCSX2 is so good it pretty much obsoletes the real hardware. Higher internal resolution + widescreen hack + added/removed visual filter = basically HD remake. It's not that GPU/CPU intensive either.

>widescreen hack
What the fuck is this nonsense.
You play that shit in 4:3 you cocksucker.

And ps3 games should only ever be 480p? gtab

Depends on the game, I found that most games ran fine and at higher resolutions but you do have to tinker a lot with the settings per game to get things to work right. The odd game can run like shit though, Like Zone of the Enders 2 which half the time is faster than the original and at other times it is unplayable.

Wii and Gamecube emulation is with Dolphin is damn near perfect, so much so that people have released HD Texture packs for games like Mario Galaxy to make it look superior. You don't have to tinker with anything either, shit just works.

All the classic systems with the exception of the N64 work pretty good emulated. You can't emulate the Saturn but who gives a fuck.

B-but muh Guardian Heroes and NIghts!

(There was a time when I actually cared about trying to emulate the Saturn just to play these two games).

If anything, switch right now is overrated. It barely has any more good games on it than Vita did. Might have less tbh. I'm sure the library will be worth it eventually, but it's not now.

That's one of the things I see Drgnkiller bash DSP for that I simply don't understand, because DSP is being a broken clock about the Switch. "Muh Story Mode on Mario Tennis" - why the fuck does Marrio Tennis has a Story Mode? Is that supposed to be a good thing?

I've heard Vanillaware titles like Odin Sphere can also be a bitch. Haven't tried it, though.

DMC1 was pretty alright and nice-looking after a few tweaks, but DMC3 was a lot more of a bitch. Basically had to choose between the game being slow as fuck or the UI being gone.

Snowblind Studios games are hard to emulate, which sucks because they are some of the few PS2 games I want to find or want to play.



This video is a joke, but it ran pretty bad on an older desktop I had.

Poor Dark Alliance. Was pretty fun for a Console Diablo.

How's the Switch supposed to have hidden gems? It's been out for a year or so. It has a great 3D Mario and Zelda, maybe Arms, Mario Tennis or Splatoon 2 if you're into that shit and that's all it really has right now. Beats the crap out of the PS3 year one, sure, but what doesn't? Everything else is re-released stuff and the mentioned games aren't hidden at fucking all.
I may just get Bayonetta 2, though. It's got a download code for Bayo 1 included and it'd be nice to have those in the office.

Drgnkiller has fucking shit tastes in games. You only need to read his e3 react impressions to know that.
