I started to look into mobile gaming. Specifically in the nvidia Shield Tablet (I do not currently own a gaming pc yet) I wanted to know if there was a way to play games like bf3 or bf4 on low settings on the nvidia Shield. I know that there is a way where it ports from a local pc etc. But I do not have one. My question is is it possible to play ps3 class games on the tablet without a pc to port over from. Oh and my internet is not that great so I don't expect anything great from their GRID support.

Yes there are a few Emulators out for Android to play PS3 games but none of them are Official meaning Recognized by Google for the Play Store. I would imagine there are still legal hurdles to deal with considering the PS3 is not Officially a dead system yet.

For PS3 games just look for a Emulator, the good ones are not free though. For windows the only thing close that I know of would be Exagear not sure if or how to make it work, most people stream using Spalshtop.
 
Wait, wait, wait, there are ps3 emulators for Android! I don't mind if its not free but I did not even know that was a thing, care to elaborate please.
