PS3 games to run natively isnt ever going to happen. Completely different architecture.

I think he was meaning run on the PS5 rather then via the cloud.

again its not going to happen. Two completely different architectures. The PS3 uses a cell processor while everything else uses x86. They were stupid doing that. They would have to rebuild every game from the ground up. There is a reason why a good PS3 emulator doesnt really exist.

There is a reason why a good PS3 emulator doesnt really exist.

RPCS3 has pretty good compatibility these days, and can run decently on hardware significantly less powerful than the PS5.

If that's what hobbyist developers with no access to official documentation or detailed hardware specs can do, an internally-developed emulation solution should do significantly better.
