Now I just want a remake of TP.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Its truly shocking to see what is capable with Dolphin and people willing to do this for old franchises. I wonder how much it would cost to make a rig that could handle this without issue?

Probably around $800 since you'd want a decent i7 processor and a relatively good GPU. I'd imagine what you can get for around $120 at this point in terms of Nvidia GPUs would get the job done, so there's that, at least. Honestly, even a $600 rig could probably pull off at least a stable 30 FPS as long as it isn't an AMD machine. AMD and Dolphin don't really get along.

There's really no need for i7, Dolphin uses 3 cores at max. Any high clock Intel, even i3, will suffice.

I thought that dolphin doesn't use more than 2 cores and maybe a 3rd core for sound. Wouldn't a i7 be overkill?

IIRC, emulation is one of few things that can actually benefit some from an i7. At the same time, you can usually achieve the same, if not superior performance just overclocking a less expensive i5. Not to mention a good value i5 is best for general gaming purposes anyways. Realistically, I suppose an i7 is fairly unnecessary. I wouldn't dip as low as an i3 though if an i5 isn't out of a person's price range.

500$ at the most.

An i7 is virtually worthless from a gamer's perspective....... I have a quad i7 and no game ever uses more than 10% of its power. For a gaming PC always go with the i5 or AMD

A few people here have said that TP looks really bad. I don't see it. It doesn't look amazing to me, but definitely not that ugly.



Can't wait for The Zelder Scrolls 3: Breath of The Wild Hunt!

Eh. Can't save a bad-looking game with just textures.

Not trying to take away merits from who made it, this is some great work and they did get the game looking way better than it originally did, but it's still somewhat ugly. I wish we get a proper TP remake one day.


Since when is Twilight Princess a bad looking game?

It's not ugly at all, it just aged. Lot of people who call TP ugly around here are supporters of non-realistic Zelda art-styles.
