I doubt this is an option that developers will be "forced" to implement but rather a feature in the OS that they simply can't turn off.

They said it has a chip that's always compressing, recording and streaming video so having the OS able to redirect the controls AND video to a nearby vita (or any other nearby device for that matter) seams trivial.

Yes, if the dev doesn't think about the fact that anyone can use this, they might make the font too small to be read or something but they shouldn't have to make a whole other interface for it to be able to be passed over to the vita.

That's the way I see it, anyhow.

I am really having a hard time trying to understand why people are complaining for a free extra feature.

If you don't want remote play, don't use it. Simple as that.

I am pretty sure there won't be a game for ps4 which you can't play because of not having a vita.

This is awesome! I'm really glad since remoteplay on the ps3 wasn't really useful since only a small selection of games worked with it. I can't wait for the PS4!

I'm surprised anyone wasn't expecting this. The PS4 has a hardware H.264 encoder; unlike the PS3, this feature is practically free.

Because gamers ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT ANY SHIT! Be it positive or negative. Hell the day gamers will stop complaining, it'll be the end of the world.

but with one of these you still need a screen of some sort, I was talking about a experience very similar to off-tv the Wii U already offers.
and thinking about that, they really need to make games that uses PS4+Vita a-la Wii U, was the intention they had since the beginning with all this, rip-off Nintendo and the Wii U.

they should just scrap their controller and pack-in a vita with each ps4.

-another world

I'm actually expecting a PS4 + Vita bundle when the PS4 launches. It's kind of a no brainer and I'm pretty sure they're going to have a price drop for the Vita this year too, so the price wouldn't be that much higher than a standard PS4 bundle. If they throw in a year of PS+, I think they'd sell a lot.

This feature was very easily enabled on a PS3 running CFW on any game you could think of. I found that it worked surprisingly well, but I was really only using it for stuff like 3D Dot Heroes when I was laying in bed. Didn't really have any latency problems, either.

Weird that the Wii U game pad is a bad idea but this is such a great idea.


The Wii U threads are leaking, I see.

Comparing remote play to the Wii U tablet is like comparing the Wii U tablet to the GameCube/Game Boy functionality. There are some superficial similarities, sure, but on the whole they vary considerably.

But hey, can't let pesky facts or context get in the way, right?

I have a Wii U. I have a Ps3 and a PSP. I know how remote play works for that and I understand how this will work. There are enough similarities to compare the two. That and all the posts about how stupid or what a bad idea the game pad is gives me a valid point. Then again, I expected you would probably troll another post of mine with a critical analysis of it. The way you jock my balls here, I feel like you might have a crush on me. Funny, considering I'm not at all impressed with any of your cynical spam comments.

I don't see anyone saying that the WiiU off screen play is bad, but due note that the Remote Play for the PS3/PSP has been around longer than the WiiU. While the usability of the PSP/PS3 was limited, the newer hardware should be able to do the thing better..

"I have a valid point. I won't say what makes it valid, or justify it in any way, but I'll just insist it's valid and that's that. You better believe it."

There's a whole plethora of differences between the two. Remote play is entirely peripheral for the user; the Wii U tablet controller is the defining feature of the console, what it's entirely built around. Remote play is simply used to play the game remotely (well, duh); the Wii U tablet can do this, yes, but its touchscreen can also be used to control the game or to provide extra information (HUD, minimaps, etc.) to the game played on the television. I'd go on about the physical differences between the handheld Vita and the Wii U's tablet, but that should be pretty self-evident.

Needless to say, there's a considerable number of differences between the two. You're trying to compare an apple to an orange-colored monster truck here - it's just not going to work no matter how much you insist otherwise.

Please, don't flatter yourself. I'm saving myself for Channing Tatum (More like Channing Bait-em, am I right, ladies?).

Seriously, though, are you so desperate for comebacks that you're turning to the, "You're just gay!" line of thinking? Really? And what, anyone who disagrees with you and shares their opinion is now just spamming?

Tsk, tsk. I think you have some growing up to do, buddy.

I'm grown enough and we're not buddies. I have no idea if your gay. Nor do I care what your personal preferences are. I'm just working with what you're giving me. The thing is, I don't post much on here. Yet, about 70% of my posts have been quoted and cynically criticized by you. You seem to make a point to disagree with everything I post. Whereas, I don't care about your opinions or your snide remarks. You think it's okay to disrespect people as long as you do it in a clever way or make an intelligent reference to theological works . I'm smart enough to realize that no matter what you post on the internet there is going to be somebody somewhere that disagrees with you. Here on this site that person happens to be you, constantly. I don't mind being disagreed with and have been disagreed with quite civilly on a few occasions. But I get it, that's your MO. You need to have some couth.

My comparison makes sense. No matter how much you try to convince everyone that it doesn't with irrelevant banter just because you don't like it.

Well shit, and I had a whole picnic planned out and everything. There goes my weekend.

Paranoia at its finest.

Seriously, I doubt I've quoted any more than 10 or so of your posts, and the majority of those were in responses to your responses to me (like here). I'm kind of obligated to quote you if you're addressing me directly, aren't I? I'm a bit of a slouch in the math department, but even I know that's hardly 70%.

And disrespect, please. You're the guy who whined that I insulted you by using the phrase "head in the sand" in a post. You'd probably take offense if I so much as sneezed in the wrong direction. Plus, your responses have hardly dignified anything better.

But yeah, you seem to be taking this extremely personally. I'm sorry, but I just don't spend my free time conspiring on how to disagree with you next. You'll have to find your Moriarty elsewhere.

My comparison makes sense. No matter how much you try to convince everyone that it doesn't with irrelevant banter just because you don't like it.

I like how you respond to my point that you haven't justified your comparison in any way, shape, or form by continuing to not justify your comparison in any way, shape, or form.

Next time, just state "My comparison makes sense!" over and over again. True fact: If you repeat something enough times, the universe eventually bends over backwards to make it true.
