As far as I know the rumor originally came from when they demonstrated Killzone running on a vita and that speculation seemed pretty solid when eurogamer published this in November http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-24-ps3-firmware-to-enable-vita-remote-play-for-all-games Then there's this http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-hacked-ps3-games-running-on-vita-via-remote-play It does look like they're really going for synergy between the two consoles what withall the cross compatible PSN games already out there so I would say if Sony can do it they will, and the second link suggests they can. |
I've seen some of the hacks that enable PS3 remote play on certain games that are not supported, so there's little question that it's possible, but it still seems to be an individual developer/publisher issue for specific titles rather than some sort of magical key SCE can whip up in a firmware update to unlock remote play compatibility in all PS3 games.
If they can, great, but without working knowledge of how the remote play code actually works, I'd say it's probably more like PS2 game compatibility in that games have to individually be made compatible with additional code rather than simply be "unlocked."
Naturally, it seems reasonable that SCE published games would be among the first to receive remote play compatibility though.
There seems to be a bit of consumer confusion regarding the difference between Cross Play and Remote Play. One allows players to transfer/share game saves between PSV and PS3 versions of the same game while the other simply allows players to remotely play PS3 games directly off whatever game happens to be in the PS3 BD drive. Totally different.
