Driveclub is almost fully playable on PC with 60FPS via shadPS4

The shadPS4 emulator has made significant progress in running the racing game Driveclub on PC, achieving nearly full playability and supporting 60 frames per second (FPS). A recent demonstration by YouTube content creator ‘talhaONE’ showcased the emulator's performance on a high-end setup, where it delivered a smooth 60FPS experience, a notable improvement from the previous 38FPS. The original PS4 version of Driveclub is capped at 30FPS, prompting gamers to seek emulation for enhanced performance. However, there are still minor visual issues, such as problematic rain effects in the cockpit camera. Optimism exists that Driveclub will be fully playable on shadPS4 by the end of summer 2025, ahead of initial predictions. Other PS4-exclusive titles like God of War III Remastered and The Order 1886 are also potential candidates for emulation enhancements.

A long-lost Duke Nukem prototype resurfaces after 24 years

The Duke Nukem franchise has seen a resurgence with the release of a prototype for the unreleased PlayStation 2 game, Duke Nukem: D-Day, developed by n-Space. This prototype, dating back to 2001, features twelve playable levels and has been made available on the Internet Archive. The game is described as "90% complete," though it lacks cutscenes and voicework. Players start in a strip club and engage in a time-traveling mission against the Third Reich and aliens. The controls are reminiscent of older gaming systems, and while the game framework is present, it lacks polish. To play the prototype, users need a PlayStation 2 with third-party software or an emulator like PCSX2. The game was in development until 2003, indicating that a more refined version may still exist.
