PS3 emulation on PS5 tested: Killzone, MotorStorm, GTA4 and more

DF: “In a world where Xbox 360 games run so well on Xbox Series X and even Xbox One, why doesn’t PS5 have a decent PlayStation 3 emulator? We tried to find out by running the RPCS3 emulator under PS5 Linux to get an idea of how the very best PS3 emulator operates on the Quintuple’s architecture. We see some huge potential upgrades over original hardware – but the exotic, bespoke nature of the Cell processor remains the single biggest obstacle in revisiting PS3 games that were never ported or remastered for subsequent PlayStation consoles.”
