inFAMOUS: First Light — a native Windows port through a PS4 compatibility runtime

inFAMOUS: First Light — PC Edition runs the user's PS4 game files on Windows through a compatibility runtime while executing the game's x86-64 code on the PC CPU. It adds First Light-specific imports, system services, and hash-checked engine hooks to a runtime shared with Second Son, with a Vulkan 1.3 backend and GCN-to-SPIR-V shader translation. The author reports that the early build reaches open-world gameplay.
