New Remote Play Trailer Shows How PS4 and PS Vita Are "Perfect Gaming Partners"

Sony Computer Entertainment released today a new trailer showcasing the remote play feature between PS4 and PS Vita.

[LOL_WUT]

Sony should bundle these too at a reduced price. It would really help garner awareness towards the little handheld and its library. Anyone know if you can play PS4 online multiplayer games via remote play? ;)

[Rock-Lee]

Yes, you can play online PS4 games. You can play anything you want (except titels that NEED the PS Cam or other peripherals). The Vita just receives the stream from your PS4 and sends back input. So the Vita is just a wireless display with buttons basically.

[C-H-E-F]

Or have a proper universal commercial on tv. lOl

[SonyStyled]

they did, when the psv came out. however that was advertising remote play on ps3. but it would be hard to materialize millions of dollars in an advertising campaign to advertise something they already advertised long after the hype has gown down and the system has sold below expectations. but there was also a few trailers that advertised it too. advertising remote and cross platform play didnt sell then, hard to dump money into a parallel ad campaign now

[C-H-E-F]

@Sony

They way I see it, they have to "reinvent" the vita to make it appealing. So, they should make a PS commercial with The PS4 and PSV showing the games on both systems then do something cool to showcase it's almost seamless connectivity to the ps4. A great commercial would be a man playing the playstation and it hits 9pm. The wife wants to watch her show but he wants to game. He then looks over at the vita, then back at her. What every she's saying gets muted he grabs the Vita hits remote play... she turns to her show and he's laying back in the bed beside her playing the ps4... booooosh there it goes.

they are already selling a bundle ps4+psv for 499 euros http://www.euronics.it/acqu...

Yes you can play online. Since you need an internet connection to do remote play.

[spacedelete]

i'm sure you can use bluetooth instead of internet.

[hkgamer]

im not sure if bluetooth is fast enough. well you dont need internet, all you need is a wifi connection if you in same house.

[LemyAtom]

You can use a wife connection via your router or using wife directly via PS4 if you're near enough. Direct connect works like a dream but the distance from the PS4 isn't great.

[XSpike]

Actually the PS4 outputs a wifi signal, you don't need a internet connection or a router to use Remote Play, PS4 wifi signal isn't that far reaching but its quicker then your avg home router giving you seamless remote play.

[Jihaad_cpt]

You can use WiFi Direct from your PS4

[luis_spartano]

Well done Sony. Thanks for showing me that I spend $250 in a portable console that only serves as a controller for another console.

[Mikelarry]

did you watch the pre show of tgs? as sony showed alot of games coming out for the vita

[InTheLab]

For example? Because if it's that same list that is floating around that's filled with niche and indies, then people who bought the thing based on Sony's promises have every right to be pissed.

[Spotie]

Of course he didn't. Look at his comment history.

@inthelab: give it up, man. I dunno what promises you thought Sony made to you, but the handheld has exactly the type of library and feature set I expected of it.

I can't recall Sony ever advertising as anything more than being catered to core gamers. Anything outside of or in more detail than that is purely individual representation.

*In Japan*

[Scatpants]

I've been playing tons of stuff on mine. There's more coming out this month on Vita that I want to play than any other console.

[SillyBastid]

I play my vita more than my ps4

[DrRobotnik]

Persona 4 all day baby!

[SonyStyled]

i would inform your store that the msrp of the vita has been $199 for close to a year now

[hkgamer]

agreed when concerning this video.

sony needs to show more games for vita, let us know what is coming. i have yet to see any tgs stuff but they have a smal chance of coming out over here.

though i would like to say that ps+ is giving value to the vita, especially if you have ps4 and need it for online multiplayer.

[bellome]

It's a great combo for my gaming needs.

[HentaiMasterRace]

This looks cool, but as partners they both need equal support. Hopefully Sony announces more Vita games in the real TGS. Still amazed though.

[NattyGraham]

Everyone that has the means should get a Vita to go along with their PS4

[frogman270]

IMO they should just get some more triple or double A games for the system. The remote play and cross buy is cool but, it needs system selling games. The only games it gets anymore are mainly indies.

@below
Yeah, they have some good games but need new ones. I guess Nintendo and the 3DS are the handheld kings.

[NattyGraham]

Yes the Vita had tons of games and still didn't sell. That's not Sony's fault.

It had Uncharted, Tearaway, Persona 4 Golden, Little Big Planet Vita...etc

[hkgamer]

more people would have picked up uncharted, but they gave it away as ps+ around a year later for a long long time. i picked up my vita just before ps+ was available and would have purchased uncharted but there was no need.

i think p4golden did pretty well on vita.

[BrandanT]

Didn't Nintendo technically design the Wii U behind this concept?
It's a bit ridiculous that people troll the Wii U gamepad as being gimmicky but when playstation does it with the Vita, Sony is praised for "innovation."
It's pretty much the same concept but, you have to buy a $250 handheld to do it.

[Lowsnamebrand]

It's alil different tho, because of the ability to remote play your games through the internet not just within range of the console

[Bigkurz85]

No one is criticizing the Wii u gamepads off screen play as the gimmick. Its about not having a real reason for the second display for most Wii u games.

Off screen play is great. No one fights that.

But what other useful ways have games used it? A horn in mario kart? Woo boo.

[hkgamer]

this concept is a little gimmicky, butt fantastic for people who actually like this function.

the wiiU however does offscreen gameplay better but the extra cost for it put some people off. i mean the system could be atleast $50 cheaper if it didnt have this, additionally it acts as a main controller and people rather have a normal gamepad.not doubting the concept, but i feel some people may prefer a cheaper system. look at xbone for an example, kinect seems to be great, maybe gimmicky but able to voice command some things are handy if it works but does it justify the extra $100?

[TimeSkipLuffy]

I'd rather wish my PS Vita would be a perfect gaming handheld on it's own! I really love Remote Play though but when I bought the Vita on release that is not why I bought it for.

[ger2396]

It already is, remote play is just icing on the cake.

[Bigkurz85]

Anyone still saying the vita has no games is just talking out of their ass. Thathasn't been true for a LONG time but people still repeat things they heard in 2012.

[SonyStyled]

ive remote played multiplayer from work on break. kinda nice. i dont use remote play much though

[sweendog]

Can someone please design a case for the vita that has R2 and L2 buttons? These buttons need to be linked mechanically so they press on the rear touch pad. I'm too busy at work and I don't have a factory, Thanks

[Emanno]

Very impressive for Sony advertising remote play that can create a lot more awareness of the Vita.

[tachy0n]

no sony, i wont buy a PS4, all i want is games for this amazing handheld.
