Looks different but good on PC

Mr Pumblechook3135d ago

Besides having a resolution bump does Cemu actually mean you can run the game WELL so it is playable?

Cobra9513133d ago

Everything I've been reading indicates that the game is fully playable now, at decent frame rates with a midrange game PC (or better).

“make sure you also pick up a legitimate copy of Breath of the Wild so you don’t make Nintendo sad.”

seriously? Pirates don’t care.

wonderfulmonkeyman3135d ago

The opinions of pirates don't MATTER either, so there's that.

EddieNX 3136d ago

Get this trash off of this site.

MVGeneral3135d ago

I disagree. Nintendo made a crap system that they put absolutely no technology into. Made it easy to emulate and so their suffering for taking the cheap way out. Also majority of pcs can handle this. Nintendo needs to get their act together.

Razzer3135d ago

Your opinion of Switch doesn't matter. This is all about piracy and pirates are just scum thieves. Make believe whatever you want but that is just the truth.

Big_Game_Hunters3135d ago

@MV general
1. This only applies to botW since switch doesn't have an emulator yet.
2. Any comp cannot run this. You need a high end gaming PC for this at settings that justify emulating it.
3.i own BOTW on both wiiu and switch but mainly play it on PC now. however, I don't advocate for emulation articles on this site because 90% of people using emulators are using it to pirate games.

Imagine seeing an article titled" PC is the definitive place to play Persona 5" Sure it's true. but it's basically advertising piracy.

NohansenBoy3135d ago

Pirates who don't reward devs aren't too kind, I agree, but you have nothing to base piracy being a legitimate problem off of. I think that it's rather likely terrible devs blame poor sales on piracy, because they don't want to admit their game is garbage sometimes.

NohansenBoy3135d ago

"No, he is making piracy sound like shoplifting or burglary. It is called a theft. Which is exactly what This about."

Even though emulators allow this, since both you and Eddie haven't provided any proof that piracy enabling solutions actually hurt the industry you're both just operating off of pure baseless emotions. I don't care how you two FEEL as far as emulators go, give me actual facts about piracy crippling or harming the industry in a great way or go cry wolf somewhere else.

Once again from what I said below "Cuphead and A Hat in Time, two games that released recently on PC has sold over 600k copies and 56k copies respectively on Steam and neither has DRM protections. It's almost like people will buy a game if it's good or some crazy thought like that, but I'm sure such an idea is absolute madness to you. A good game selling well." so please don't start a witch hunt just, because you feel you should.

@nohansenboy

Dude....stop yapping about emotions. I don’t give a shit about what you feel either. Are we clear on that? Ok...good.

Piracy hurts the gaming industry. That is basic common sense. Link above demonstrates. You can turn that around whatever way you want to rationalize criminal behavior, but it is still criminal. The fact there are honest people in the world that actually paid for cuphead and other DRM-free games is NOT an excuse for the low-life idiots who steal. What kind of silly reasoning is that?

You yourself even rationalized that there is harm “if you bought the game”. You know damn well that the vast majority of people playing games on emulators did no such thing. Stop kidding yourself.

NohansenBoy3134d ago

You two are the only ones being emotional here. I'm just going to end this by saying you two are still only being all talk and not giving me any proof. An opinion based article isn't proof. Please stop using scare tactics to get people to think lie you.

Razzer3134d ago

You are delusional. It was an article based on a report made. It is NOT an editorial. You are talking shit.

Why, what's wrong with it ? It's just a comparison video.

bluefox7553135d ago

Eddie REALLY loves Nintendo, and he gets his jimmies rustled at the the idea of people enjoying the game without buying Nintendo hardware. He must own stock or something.

EddieNX 3135d ago

1. How does the fake emulated version of Uncharted 4 Compare to the real thing?

2.How does the fake emulated version of Quantum break Compare to the real thing.

3. How does the fake emulated version of BOTW Compare to the real version?

Well how they compare is that most of us bought the real version with out hard earned money, and other people downloaded a fake version.

N4G = Real Game website, not fake.

We don't want to to read about how we can emulate software.

bluefox7553135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

@Eddie They're not "fake", they play exactly the same as the original games once the bugs get ironed out. Actually they play a lot better. Who wouldn't want to play Zelda at a higher resolution and 60fps instead of 30?
Also, as far as your "We don't want to to read about how we can emulate software."
You don't speak for everyone. I want to hear about it, I find it interesting.

choujij3135d ago

@EddieNX

Sorry dude, this isn't fake. It's the real thing, running on different hardware. I'm a huge Nintendo fan, and have been since my NES days. You need to come to terms with a couple of things:

1) Emulation has made this game playable with better visuals on different hardware.
2) Emulation being a double edged sword can be used by both those who have and have not purchased a copy of this game. But I certainly wouldn't criticize those who have bought a copy of the game (and thus supported it) and chose to play it on PC instead.

"N4G = Real Game website, not fake. "

Tell me how you like this example:
N4G brings you the news from other websites.
Emulation brings you the games from other platforms. :D

jmc88883135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

@EddieNX
Emulated Quantum Break?

You don't even know there is a PC version?

Emulators trigger Nintendo fans!

EddieNX 3135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

Well I paid for my version on my Switch, which is £330 of legitimate experience. But please, let's discuss the cracked Wiiu emulated version you guys have.

It's OK though cus your PC is uber powerful. What other fake software do u have? Please let us know. Fake OS, fake firewall, Deep Web drugs and porn. I'm sure N4G is the perfect place to talk about it whilst most of us are here to talk about REAL stuff.

If there was an article about how a fake PC emulated version of GT sport or Uncharted 4 looks on a fake PC version what would you say?

I thought this website was about legitimate, native content, not pirated garbage with loads of bugs.

The integrity of this website is at stake hear. I don't see a section for pirated emulations. It's Insulting. It's like me saying 'I payed for my real clothes' and you saying 'I'm wearing fake, counterfeit clothes' gtfo

EddieNX 3135d ago

This article basically says

Which version is better? The real, authentic version you payed for or the fake emulated PC version?

SegaGamer3135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

@Eddie
"We don't want to to read about how we can emulate software"

Don't speak for everyone, it just makes you look more like a fool. I actually like emulation, love it in fact, it's given past games new life.

"The integrity of this website is at stake here"

Thanks to rabid fanboy's like you, this website lost any integrity it had years ago. You're quite possibly the worst fanboy on this site. Never have i seen anyone so ultra defensive about a company before. I bet if any reviewer gave a Mario, Pokemon, Zelda or Metroid game a 6 out of 10 you would lose your mind. Get a grip for goodness sake.

NohansenBoy3135d ago

Jesus dude, you're going way off the rails with your comparisons. You're making it sound like emulating video games is like murdering someones family in front of them.

EddieNX 3135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

So if articles start frequently popping up about emulated PS4 or XB1 games that's fine isn't it? No, the integrity of everything is at stake. Whilst we're at it, let's just make all sorts of articles about FAKE software.

I come to this site for REAL video game news. I don't care what fake stuff people are playing.

If you have an emulated version of GT Sport or Forza 7. Good for you, go discuss it on a dodgey message board

wonderfulmonkeyman3135d ago

It's the other way around; people on this site don't take it seriously at all.
But then again, this is basically a Sony fanboy site and the emulation issues are really only being focused on with Nintendo games, so of course most of them here won't care/will defend the emulation.

But watch what they'll say the moment someone starts emulating/pirating PS4 games.
You won't be able to tell the difference between many of them and Eddie at that point, I guarantee it.

Razzer3135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

“You're making it sound like emulating video games is like murdering someones family in front of them.”

No, he is making piracy sound like shoplifting or burglary. It is called a theft. Which is exactly what This about.

jmc88883135d ago (Edited 3135d ago )

Most PS4 and XB1 games are on PC already.

Hell most of Switch's games are too, especially the indies.

Emulated Forza 7? Again you don't realize there is already a PC version.

Piracy is illegal and immoral, but it doesn't even compare to shoplifting or burglary. In those crimes you are taking something away and depriving the owner of whatever is shoplifted or burglarized. With pirated games, you are making a copy.

Cobra9513134d ago

"he is making piracy sound like shoplifting or burglary. It is called a theft. Which is exactly what This about."

Razzer, no. It's not like shoplifting or burglary. No one is breaking into someone else's home, locker or car, and taking things away from them that they'll never get back. Piracy is copying. Theft is now you have it, and the owner doesn't have it anymore. Huge frigging difference, like speeding vs wrecking into a school bus.

Razzer3134d ago (Edited 3134d ago )

Cobra, no it is no different. Did the developer receive the money for the game? Nope. So yes, it is exactly like shoplifting or theft. Delude yourself if you want.

NohansenBoy3135d ago

You're not very well educated on this. Even your moral high ground can be questioned through one point. If you bought the game, then who cares? Emulation allows for open ended options for playing console games on PC. If you're worried about piracy then why not go on a crusade for PC and mobile then? Two of the easiest gaming markets to pirate stuff on. It would be pointless if you did since the former has been flourishing for decades, even during the idiotic and pointless "don't copy that floppy" campaign and by god the latter had gained so much traction in revenue in such a short period of time it isn't even funny.

Cuphead and A Hat in Time, two games that released recently on PC has sold over 600k copies and 56k copies respectively on Steam and neither has DRM protections. It's almost like people will buy a game if it's good or some crazy thought like that, but I'm sure such an idea is absolute madness to you. A good game selling well.

Your concerns are meaningless and you have nothing to base anything you said on. Everything you said is purely driven by emotion with no actual logic or reason to back it up. You sound like a corporate tool. I just don't like it when people like you are either disingenuous or horribly misinformed and try to rally others to your silly ideas.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Review

Michael from NoobFeed writes: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition is the same game that you know and love, but with additional bells and whistles that somehow make a perfect game even better. With a feature-rich companion app, true 4K visuals, buttery-smooth 60fps, and an extra save file, what's not to love?

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition review - ChristCenteredGamer

CCG writes - "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition successfully takes one of Nintendo’s best titles and makes it look and run exponentially better than it ever has before. After playing this new version, it’s hard to think that I settled for such a worse-performing version all these years. "

I say this as an owner of a switch 2 officially now (got it finally last week). Thats all well and good, but lots of us were saying the switch was underpowered to begin with - then labeled as haters (why would a hater buy a device they hate?).
I loved BOTW on Switch but could never escape the feeling that despite how good, it just felt.... old... graphically.

Glad to see theres an elevated experience on the new switch 2... but the point still stands - imagine if Nintendo released an actual real console with the full power of the series x or ps5. then imagine what BOTW could look like. I wish Nintendo would do something like what MS did with series x/s - release a full proper console as the flagship, then have the switch as the portable scaled down option. They both play the same games, but the console would run the full blast version of the games. That would be a win in my book.

also like MS (and occasionally Sony), I wish Nintendo would release these upgrades for free. A new switch 2 game is already $80, and they're charging $18 to play a game you already own with better frame rates and resolution. thats almost as bad as them charging money for the "welcome tour" game, that literally just shows you the features of the switch. not a cheap system after purchase.

MrBaskerville276d ago

It's not free, but the upgrades are included in the Nintendo subscription service thingy.

rlow1276d ago

@MrBaskerville

Which still means your paying for it.

1nsomniac276d ago

…which is exactly what he just said - “it’s not free”.
