How to use your PS Vita as a second PS4 controller

Maybe you’re picking up a PlayStation 4 today or you already have one, and one of the games you happen to pick up supports 2 player’s on screen at the same time. Maybe you don’t have a second controller, but your buddy, wife, girlfriend, dog, brother or sister wants to get in on some two-player action. If you have a Vita, you’re sorted.

Now if only the PS Vita actually had some games it would become a truly useful device

iamnsuperman3780d ago

I actually does. Media Molecule seem to be holding up the device with LBP (arguable the best version) and tearaway. Gravity Rush and sound shapes (I know the latter appears on the PS3 but for level design it is far easier on the Vita due to its touch screen). Killzone isn't a bad shooter either (for a handheld it is pretty good). The point is their are hidden gems.

I say there are 4 must have play before you die games and lots of good games on top of that

ElleGee3780d ago

You forget Lumines. Everybody always forgets Lumines.

DOMination-3780d ago

Media Molecule didn't make LBPvita

iamnsuperman3780d ago

@DOmination

You are absolutely right. I forgot the passed on the franchise to someone else. They did a good job

AHall883780d ago

What about Persona 4 Golden? Along with PSone Classics and a handful of excellent PSP games for it.

paul-p19883779d ago

Velocity Ultra, Rayman Legends, Everybody's Golf World Tour, Modnation Racers, God Eater 2, Toukiden, Blazblue, not to mention all the PSP/PS1 games i have on my memory sticks. I play my Vita more than i play my PS3, and it has stopped me playing those rubbish casual games on my phone lol.

If anything Vita has a lot more games than certain people would like to believe!

NukaCola3779d ago

Tearaway
Soul Sacrifice
Uncharted
Assassin's Creed Liberation
Need for Speed
Batman Arkham Blackgate
Guacamelee
LittleBigPlanet
Walking Dead
Hotline Miami

PS4 Remote Play
Party Chats
Netflix
Crunchyroll
Hulu

The Vita is a great device. I love it just as much as the 3DS. Both have great games.

DarKnightDave3779d ago

I'm really digging Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate. It's not the same as the console version, more like the old Metroid games. Killzone Mercenary is really good too.

Have you tried looking for psvita games? Or are you a member of the 'vita haz no gamezzzzz' gang?

C-H-E-F3779d ago

I'M TIRED OF THIS HAS NO GAMES CRAP..... Dude, go to gamestop and use the demo ps vita. There's TONS of great games on the vita. They have games of all genres on there. So to say it has no games is 100% ignorant. I will welcome you with a disagree and -1 for trolling.

On topic, to be disrespectful when I play my friends on the ps4. I don't play with the DS4 I play with the vita. I tell them they aren't worthy of me playing with the DS4. They really hate that, especially when i'm streaming to the vita at 30fps playing games like nba 2k14 that is 60fps on the ps4 itself. So yeah it makes the rivalries all the better. Haven't lost yet actually.

Bell Boy3779d ago

You may go into a store and not see many games on shelves but the ps store is fully loaded with quality content. That's why my 32gb card is full and I am praying Sony get those 64's to US quick smart.

Many multi plats such as rayman series have arguably the finest version on vita.

But hey you spew your lies all day buddy

Nail133779d ago

I <3 Soul Sacrifice so much, am planning/waiting to get VitaTV and Vita light. Then buying 3 copies of Soul Sacrifice Delta when that comes.

kingPoS3779d ago

Go to the Playstation store https://store.sonyentertain... and tell the Vita has no games.

The Vita is no one's Atari Jaguar.

@Lazy - What games should it have ?

ElleGee3780d ago

That's pretty cool, actually. Cool even if you have two controllers, and somehow have a 3 player game.

moonstormer3780d ago

that's one expensive second controller

GavinMannion3780d ago

ah but you can also use it to... use as a second screen and browse the Interwebs

moonstormer3780d ago

that's why i have a tablet - still don't see the point of a vita. and yet i want one. hope they bundle it with the PS4 soon

arkard3779d ago

Can't use your tablet to play ps4 games anywhere with wifi.

mikeslemonade3779d ago

Well since I have the Vita already and too cheap to get a second controller then this would work. But there's latency and using the rear-touch in place of the shoulder buttons is not gonna work. It should be fine with simplistic games.

Stsonic3780d ago (Edited 3780d ago )

good feature but all sound is past to the vita which is annoying.

CyrusLemont3779d ago

If you're using it as a second controller, you can change that in the PS4 settings by holding down the PS button and adjusting the playback options. It's good to be able to stream audio to the device and being able to adjust it rather than no audio being streamed whatsoever. Plus you can plug headphones into the vita and play somewhere else in the house or in public if you wanted to.

SilentSolid3779d ago

recently bought Rainbow moon and terraria for psvita. no games? hahahah!

What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.

Cacabunga4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

A rumored game at a rumored show.. we’ve seen it all

TiredGamer4h ago

Agreed. The first remake was stylistically beautiful and a very noticeable improvement over the original in every regard. And it was reasonably priced and sustainably developed (i.e. not some mega big budget game that was do or die for the developer).

Zeke686h ago

Thanks for the spoilers... :(

RonnySins5h ago

Another day, another remake. Ugh!

SonyStyled5h ago

If you played the original print I can see your annoyance. I didn’t and probably a lot others the past 20 years.

Was it any good? Would you suggest playing the original print of 2, or suggest the remake? Just wondering because I didn’t play the originals as I had an n64 at the time

TiredGamer4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I played the first remake and absolutely loved it. The quality of life and control improvements were very noticeable. I tried playing the PS1 original and gave up halfway through at the janky controls.

Expect the same for part 2. The PS1 version is janky as heck, but I would gobble up an improved remake day one.

The beauty of this kind of stuff is that I find myself enjoying more retro gaming today, so a relatively low budget classic remake (call it a single-A release) is exactly what is missing from first party releases in the modern age. I don’t want every game to be an unsustainable AAAA endeavor that is just overwhelming in every regard. Truly miss when game releases could be modest-sized surprises and still be commercially successful/viable.

Bring on more quality classic remakes!

Knightofelemia5h ago

Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.

Omegasyde4h ago

My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).

I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder

InUrFoxHole7m ago

SOCOM! SOCOM! SOCOM!
But please not like Socom 4

"Darkest Dungeon II" is coming to Playstation consoles on July 15th, 2024

"The Vancouver-based (Canada) indie games developer Red Hook Studios are today very happy and excited to announce that their roguelike /strategy/RPG “Darkest Dungeon II”, is coming to Playstation consoles (PS5 and PS4) via PSN on July 15th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

TwoPicklesGood6h ago

Don't sleep on this, it's a great day

Michiel19891h ago

I personally didn't enjoy 2 as much as I did 1. Actually didn't even finish it.
I do praise that they didn't just carbon copy the 1st game and added more of everything, but I think that during the process a lot of what made Darkest Dungeon appealing to put a ton of hours in, was lost.

The new mode does look cool and I will definitely jump back into it and try it out.
