Microsoft is a terrible company, but at least they treat their back catalogue with some degree of respect. I just wish Sony cared more.
In my experience Xbox to 360 was not that good. Fable stuttered a lot.
PS2 to PS5 though, yeah, I know Sony’s architectures have been all over the place, but come on.
It might have been your console. The 360 was the last MS console I had (PS3 was the last actual console) and I had no issues playing the fable games.
Like, how do you even screw this up? Sony…the ones who have access to all the super secret technical documents, full source codes, CAD drawings, prototypes, probably even people still working there who worked on it originally etc. Things that many who work on the open source emulators can only dream of seeing.
Made a shit emulator.
Creating a good emulator takes a lot of time and money, and that I think is the true reason why.
What they have released is a MVP, a minimum viable product, it checks all the boxes for a releaseable thing and that’s what the higher ups, the product leads and other finance stakeholders want to hear.
Additional features or proper scaling? Yeah, nice we put that on the list for MVP+, for sure! When will that come? Nobody knows and we have no development time to work on it because now with the release the focus was shifted to the next project, but it is on the list and we will come back to it.
I have heard that so often in so many projects I was part of, as a grunt with no power, and for nearly all of them I still wait for the MVP+ time to ever happen.
