So, a buddy of mine asked me If he could put his PS4 HDD Into a PC and play Playstation? I told him no, but I just wanted to confirm this, you cant do this, right?

The actual OS of the Playstation itself probably doesn't sit on the hard drive. The PS4's drive is swappable, so asking your typical knuckle dragging console gamer to clone one drive to another is NOT gonna happen.

 

In terms of the other method, which is emulation, there is no working PS4 emulator publicly available.

PS3 emulators are still shit

No need to be like that about it.

No.. Just no.

 

Just because you would have the game files, doesn't mean you can play the game. You still need the dedicated hardware to run it, which in terms of console games on a PC would be: emulation. Sadly, they are not working, or at least not far, on a PS4 emulator.

I want a PS3 emulator so I can play TLOU and upscale the resolution.

Hell, we'll probably have a working PS4 emulator before a PS3 one.

As posted numerous times before myself, this simply isn't possible. I am fairly certain the operating system isn't stored on the HDD, hence upgrading the HDD would cause problems for your average consumer. Either way, the closest us PC users will have to playing PlayStation 4 games would be through emulation, which currently is unavailable. Hope this as well as other comments answered your question. Game on, and take care. :D
