PS3 Emulator RPCS3 Now Lets You Play Physical Discs Directly From Your PC's Optical Drive
Long live physical media. The RPCS3 emulator team has announced a phenomenal new update, allowing physical PS3 games to be played directly from a PC disc drive. Describing the update as "Plug-and-Play", RPCS3 now looks to resurrect almost the entirety of the PS3's physical catalogue. The open-source project began life back in 2011 as a simple emulator, before expanding its vision into a combined software/hardware project that would authentically replicate the PS3 experience. Over the past 15 years, a global team of dedicated tinkerers - led by project founders "EladAsh" and "kd-11" - has evolved the software into its current form, allowing for the direct streaming of physical PS3 discs. Contributors "digant73" and "Megamouse" are credited with this latter addition. Read the full article on timeextension.com

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed into a horrible house. Wait, let's start that again: "You wake up as a House. Your limbs stretch through endless rooms filled with grotesque creatures. You can never see outside of yourself, never feel the world that lies beyond the fleshy walls of your body.

"Most people" at Bethesda wanted to make Elder Scrolls 6 before Starfield, claims Skyrim co-lead, but Todd Howard dragged them aboard his rocketship
What came first, the chicken or the egg? I know, it's a tough one. I'll put it another way. What came first, Todd Howard's lone desire to make a space RPG or what the devs working under him had initially anticipated they'd be working on once Fallout 4 shipped? Well, according to a fresh account given by long-time Bethesda developer and Skyrim co-lead designer Kurt Kuhlmann, those among the latter who'd mentally prepped to be making The Elder Scrolls 6 right away were rather whisked along on an interstellar journey Todd seemingly charted a course for without much of a heads up.
