A new PS4 emulator is in development from the creator of RPCS3, though it's likely years away from running games

The Last Guardian

Exciting news, PC gamers: We now have yet another way to pine for Bloodborne on PC. A new emulator project appeared on Github on Saturday from the creator of excellent PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3, this one named RPCSX. Its target platform? The PlayStation 4—an exciting prospect, since Sony's PC ports inevitably won't cover the system's entire library. For the foreseeable future, though, pining after PS4 exclusives like Bloodborne is all we'll be able to do, as the emulator is likely years away from making commercial games legitimately playable.

There are several reasons to temper your expectations here, including the fact that RPCSX currently isn't being built for Windows. "This is an experimental emulator for PS4 written in C++ for Linux. It's NOT possible to run any games yet. It's also unknown when it will become possible," says the Github page.
