Killzone Shadow Fall: a native Windows port with Vulkan graphics

Killzone Shadow Fall for PC runs the PS4 game's code directly on a Windows CPU and translates its graphics to Vulkan at runtime. Its launcher points to a user-supplied version 01.81 game dump containing eboot.bin; the author reports campaign playability in a public beta.
