3 Reasons To Put PS Vita & PS TV On Your Christmas List This Year

"The PS Vita has been out for a while now, yet there are still many dedicated Sony fans who've yet to buy into the most powerful handheld games console.

A new addition to the PlayStation family is the PS TV which is already out in North America and hits store shelves this November in the UK and Europe.

So why would you want either of these extra gadgets lying around your house? Won't they just clutter up your already tech-filled homes? The clutter is worth it, here's why."

I would get it just to stream games to the tv in my room but I've read that it doesn't work well and now that I think of it I've taken my controller to my room while listening to music unl. And kept losing signal.. So does the ps tv improve the controller signal too?

And how the hell would that tiny thing clutter anything up? Lol

Edit

I have a psvita too and loved the remote play but HATE using the psvita buttons for a ps4 game I would love to play the game using the ds4! Now I know Sony is like a snail with updates but pleas make that happen, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF SONY IS EVEN WORKING ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

Scatpants3471d ago

The controller connects to the vita tv not the ps4 and youre right it doesnt work well over wifi. I used a powerline ethernet extender. Works perfectly now.

Xb1ps43471d ago

What's a power line Ethernet extender? Are you saying you have it wired to your router?

rainslacker3471d ago

A power line ethernet is any device that allows you to use the existing electrical wiring in your home as a network cable. It has obvious benefits in homes that aren't wired for ethernet.

Wifi has never been a great medium for online gaming, or streaming anything for that matter as it gets congested easily.

I haven't tried the PSTV yet(will buy one this weekend when I get home from vacation), but on the Vita, the Wifi connection works just fine for remote play. So I dunno it may be a matter of how the wifi is set up in the home, or bad drivers within the vita itself or something, but I haven't heard too many complaints about wifi remote play.

However, I would always recommend a wired connection for anything if at all possible. It's just more reliable and faster overall. It's why I wired my entire home for ethernet when I remodeled it.:)

3 reasons to gift the PS TV

1) You're mad at your money
2) You're mad at the person you would gift it to
3) You're out of other ideas

PS Vista maybe, but it really needs some love from Sony/Devs

Silver_Faux3471d ago

PS vista? Pfft get a PS8. They brought back the start menu

SoapShoes3471d ago

I got one mainly for playing all of the PSP games I own on TV. Vita and remote play were just icing on the top. I have wish it had more compatibility but I'm sure they'll update it as time goes and I'm happy with it right now. Need to get a 64gb card though.

SoapShoes3471d ago

I got Wipeout Pulse, Medievil Resurrection, Ape Escape On the Loose, Pursuit Force, Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow, and Killzone Liberation for it. Great games. Will probably get Pursuit Force Extreme Justice too, most underrated game ever!

Software_Lover3471d ago

If it streamed at 1080p/60 I would get it.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5216d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5215d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212115d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5215d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5215d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani15d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum16d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman16d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim15d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

I disagree Batman
