Yes. A second native PC port of God of War (PS2) arrives, with a launcher, 6x resolution and RetroAchievements by danielalves96. It's playable now, and it runs natively on PC rather than through an emulator.

Is the God of War PC port an emulator?

No. It's a native build of the game's code for PC (a decompilation, static recompilation or native port), so it runs like a PC game.

A second native PC port of God of War (PS2) arrives, with a launcher, 6x resolution and RetroAchievements

danielalves96's God of War: native PC port statically recompiles the original 2005 PS2 game (NTSC-U SCUS-97399) into C++ for Windows, with experimental Linux support. A recompiler written in Rust translates the game's MIPS code ahead of time, and the PS2 hardware around it (graphics, vector units, sound, pads, memory card) is native code, with no BIOS and no emulator at run time. It adds an OpenGL renderer at 1x to 6x internal resolution, widescreen, keyboard and mouse, target lock, a cheat menu, custom texture packs and RetroAchievements, all behind a settings launcher. The repo went up on 30 October and launcher v0.1.0 followed today, with a Windows installer, a portable zip, a .deb and an AppImage. It is a rival to Vnnc1's God of War Native PC, already on the wire, which uses the PS2Recomp runtime instead.
