I think he should upscale the video to 1080P. Loving how its a second screen aswell.

Abriael4246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

Eh, showing the shiny graphics ain't really the purpose of the video, I'd say :D

majiebeast4246d ago

It aint fun without a 1080P joke.

Abriael4246d ago

Ah, that flew right over my head lol.

Gazondaily4246d ago

That is impressive. The VITA is a beast

Abriael4246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

@Septic: well, in this case the Vita does almost nothing :D It's just displaying a stream. The real beast is the video capture/streaming chip on the PS4.

Sevir4246d ago

Abriael, the real beast is the Streaming technology powering it... Gaikai! I seriously can't wait for the PS4

DoomeDx4246d ago

^ What!?

Streaming a video over your own LAN network has nothing to do with Gaikai

majiebeast4246d ago

@Doomed

They are utilizing tech that Gaikai developed.

to the Australians here, Ps vita + killzone merc bundle for $188 at big w this Saturday only (9/11/13)

abzdine4246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

@Abriael: he's like me thinking about the idea of owning a Vita and make them communicate the way they did. Da Powaah of GAIKAI i will even say!!
i don't think streaming would have been possible on a 3DS for example if PS4 does it all. The screen and performance of Vita are also playing a good role in it.

Anyway!! i'm gonna make all kinds of gains in the toilet with Vita when PS4 comes out :D ... ALL KIIINDZ!!

nveenio4246d ago

I'll be getting a Vita next year specifically to take advantage of this feature (and all of the free Vita games I've gotten with PS+ over the last couple of years).

mewhy324246d ago

wow. the capabilities of the ps4 are just astounding. So glad that I preordered my PS4, extra DS4, and ShadowFall. I already have the DS4 and Shadowfall. Now just waiting on delivery of the might PS4.

"Almost" no lag? I see no lag at all.

Abriael4246d ago

If you pause it frame by frame you can see at times it's one frame late. Which is still extremely impressive.

Baylex4246d ago

I'm seeing Vitas flying off the shelves :P

Visiblemarc4246d ago

Just sit further away from your screen. ;)

clouds54246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

Yeah so with the wii u everybody think it Sucks but now with Sony it's the best thing ever...
It's a great feature, playing like this since a year. But I can't imagine it being anywhere near as good with those small sticks... If you want true 2nd screen gaming get the system that was made for it. Imho.

badz1494246d ago

yeah, since the Wii U came out earlier than Remote Play itself, right? oh...wait!

can I, you know, go some place else, like a relatives' or friends' houses and use the Wii U tablet to resume my games? aww...it's limited to a certain range only? not wifi enabled? so shut up!

patsrule3164246d ago

@badz who said "can I, you know, go some place else, like a relatives' or friends' houses and use the Wii U tablet to resume my games? aww...it's limited to a certain range only? not wifi enabled? so shut up! "

You don't know how well it will work over wifi yet. I am not getting my hopes up. In the PS4 FAQ itself, they HIGHLY recommend you use remote play over your home network. Although it can function over wifi, I would definitely expect some lag, which can possibly render games unplayable. I am open to the idea of being pleasantly surprised, but I am only counting on remote play to work well in my home.

GirlOnFire4246d ago

In that case Wii U is not the choice. It barely supports off screen play. While the PS4 everything is playable on Vita via remote play all but camera using games. I had Wii U and I couldn't play all my games like you said it was created specifically for. ^~^ Just saying.

clouds54246d ago

@ quite: what? You couldn't do off screen gameplay with wii u? Then you got a different system than I. Almost every game is perfectly playable off screen.

I'm away at a different university this semester. Just brought my wii u and gamepad and I'm able to play all my games. Nothing else required. No wifi no TV no nothing. So how was the crazy expensive ps4 vita combo better again?

Mr_Writer854246d ago

@Cloud5

'If you want true 2nd screen gaming get the system that was made for it. Imho.'

The only that only 48 out of 216 games use it?

You do know the PS4 does all the grunt work?

Also the PSP's remote play with PS3 say hi :)

clouds54246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

@Mr_Writer85: Again, what games are you talking about? Every game I own on the Wii U (And I own most of them) use the 2nd screen in one way or the other.

Granted with some it's just basic stuff such as inventory and map management or additional buttons, but with others it's used for specific gameplay mechanics like scanning in ZombiU or ... don't even know how to describe it, you need to play it :) Wonderful 101.
And all of them support full off screen gameplay. ->you don't even need a TV.

I know PS4 does the work (whatever you mean by that? :) ) but from what I've seen so far it just mirrors the screen via wifi streaming to the vita screen and maps the controls to the vita buttons (I can do the same thing using my PC and android tablet/phone+BT controller with a remote desktop app or the nVidia Shield).

With the Wii U you can do full 2 player Coop/Multiplayer (online too!) in CoD, where every player has his own screen and controls (one on the TV with classic controller or wii mote and one with the gamepad). CoD Zombie was never so much fun ;)

Oh and the WiiU does all the grunt work in that situation. Rendering the game for both screens.

What I'm trying to say: The WiiU was _designed_ from the ground up for these features and it works flawlessly no matter how good your wifi is or where you are. Remote play on the Vita is a nice feature but it doesn't compare to what you're able to do with the WiiU (based on what I've seen from it SO FAR).

And as always, that is just my opinion. If you own a PS4 and Vita great, it's nice to have the option! But I wouldn't spend 600 bucks just to get that, when the WiiU costs half as much and does a better job at it.

GirlOnFire4246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

I'm not trying to be rude and neither am I disagreeing you. I'm just saying ZombiU, Nintendoland, Super Mario U, and my Wii games couldn't go off screen play. Now with the update I know Wii games are playable. With Vita you can take it with you at a friends house and play over WiFi without PS4 present. I love Wii U no doubt I'm not trying to be smart with you. I'm not here for that. I try not to be fangirl of anything. ^~^ Hope you understand. Just to add PS4 doesn't require WiFi for remote play. I am talking about pulling the full game off the tv and play btw. Off screen play/remote play is different from second screen. Happy Gaming to you! ^~^

lazyboyblue4246d ago

Those small sticks do a much better job than those horrid wiiu sticks.

kingPoS4246d ago

Remote play is great in that two different platforms can stand alone AND work in conjunction.

The WiiU pad in it's current form works only with the WiiU.

Just bought a vita with 3 games a case and 16gb card for $150 its worth it!!

ipach4246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

be sure to get a new one if you can. vita's are pretty reliable, but i got one second hand and had to get it serviced almost immediately with all sorts of crashing and failage. sony support is really helpful, but being in warranty makes it that much better and free... though of course, i suppose for the right price, a used one is ok, also. but keep in mind, most repairs cost around $130...

x2geex4246d ago

Killzone 40? The Vita is way too small and fragile to do any real gaming on. The gamepad is miles ahead!

Abriael4246d ago

Oooof course mate. Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep at night :D

Thegamer414246d ago

Maybe for fps games but there are other genres out there that are perfect on the vita such as fighting and platform games (im sure there are more).

clouds54246d ago

I absolutely agree with you. Can't compare to wii u gamepad... But the fanboyism is strong on n4g...

Mr_Writer854246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

@x2geeX

Good luck taking the gamepad out on a bus to play a game....

Infact good luck trying to play a game on the off TV feature, how many games actually use it?

badz1494246d ago

what? that single point touch screen and needing a charge every 2 hours thing? sure....whatever floats your boat!

on, if you haven't play KZ Mercenary, you don't know what portable FPS is!

OMNlPOTENT4246d ago

I think they'll both be great but since you wanted to start a flame war here are some positive and negatives.
-remote play positives-
better resolution
more powerful
better screen (the vita's oled screen is sexy)
-Negatives-
costs twice as much as the Wii U
less practical uses (probably won't be used as anything but a second screen)
using rear touch pad for l2/r2 isn't nearly as comfortable as a button.
So they even out to equals. Stop having your puny war and enjoy both.

Mr_Writer854246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

@ Omnipotent

'costs twice as much as the Wii U '

Ermmm

PS Vita £150 (wi-fi only)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Son...

WiiU £275(basic)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nin...

'less practical uses (probably won't be used as anything but a second screen)'

It has its own games? It can be taken any where and doesnt need the PS4 to work...

Yes a balanced and well thought out post that is not.

You forget that remote play is a FEATURE, you dont need a Vita to play a PS4, or a PS4 to play a Vita, but if you do there is a feature that uses both.

And its put to much better use then the gamepad, which less than 1/4 off the WiiU's games use the feature.

You also forgot better range, and in theroy you could use remote play over a different network whilst the PS4 is still at home*

*although the preformance will probably drop alot.

clouds54246d ago (Edited 4246d ago )

... priceless :D

So what you're telling me: All you need to REMOTE play PS4 games on your vita is a 150£ vita? You don't need the 350£ ps4 for that? Do the math.

Wii U costs 250£ for the 32gb after pricecut and it comes with a game. It's half the price and you get a game.

And that only 1/4 of wii u games use the 2nd screen is just a LIE. Plz...

And I'm talking strictly about the Vita being used as a 2nd screen for remote play. I know the Vita is a portable console and it's hard to compare to the wii u which is a home console. But this discussion is about remote play and not about mobile gaming.

OMNlPOTENT4246d ago

@mr_writer85 I'm speaking only on the remote play feature not the damn console war lol. For remote play the ps4+vita costs TWICE as much as the Wii U does. For the remote play to WORK you need to put TWICE as much money into it. I'm not claiming Wii U is the better system I was only claiming that the remote play feature costs twice as much to use as the Wii U does. Second screen is a practical use but it doesn't have /as many/ uses as the Wii U gamepad does. For example for Wind Waker the Wii U the inventory and map screens are so much easier to access on the flow without having to pause. I'm not saying that it's better than having a second screen to play on. I'm saying that it has more uses than the Vita will have WITH remote play. I didn't know about the the being able to use remote play while the ps4 was at home feature though, that's cool :D hopefully the performance doesn't drop too much because that would be incredibly useful.

Edsword4246d ago

This is one of the features I am most excited about.

15 Last-Gen Games That Still Compete with Current-Gen Graphics

GB: "Say what you will about the state of the industry, but even as games evolve, their graphics remain a key aspect. Even some of the biggest flops this year sport some gorgeous visuals, as publishers and developers push the boundaries of what’s possible, pouring years of time and money into their work."

Quantum Break and Ryse are two that I was really surprised did not get an FPS boost option when played on the Series X|S. when i started playing both on the XBO, I thought they are both good, but after playing them also on my steam deck (in 60fps) I just cant go back and play the base games on XB. They really benefit from that faster frame rate.

Driveclub is another i wished had a HFR mode on PS5.

MatrixxGT235d ago

Most games this gen are the exact same except now we get faster loading through SSD and a res and fps bump. Graphically not much has improved, hell most last gen games are being relabeled and resold as “remastered” with the aforementioned updates.
I haven’t seen or played anything on either platform that couldn’t be run on last gen. Guess the law of diminishing returns is really showing itself these days.

127maXimus235d ago

Most games from 20 years ago are basically the same as today, with resolution and fps upgrades. The AI is still just as braindead as it always has been, worlds are full of static, boring characters that do the same thing over and over.

Demetrius235d ago

Smh another reason why graphics haven't improved that much is because most devs too caught up on cross gen. Ps4 was/still a dope console but time has moved on we're halfway close to a ps6 reveal and devs still will be making games on last gen in 2025. Then theres Microsoft purposely got the Xbox series s that causes more devs to try to pull strings as much as they can smh. It's a mixed bag of stuff, the only ones I see pushing hardware is sonys studios and even some indie games look better

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne243d ago (Edited 243d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro243d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken242d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown243d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72243d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken242d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya242d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast243d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood243d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

Killzone After a Decade in Hibernation

It's been 10 years since Killzone: Shadow Fall arrived for PlayStation 4 early adopters, and there's no sign of another sequel.

Obscure_Observer586d ago

Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer.

Vengeance1138586d ago

lmao sadly? Are you pretending to have actually played the series lol Sorry bud, no Killzone on Xbox.

Rimeskeem585d ago

“Dumped”

I think it’s called moving on.

Barlos585d ago (Edited 585d ago )

They brought out 4 main games and 2 spin offs: one on PSP and one on Vita. That's a decent run for any series. I also understand that Shadow Fall wasn't a success commercially despite it coming out at PS4 launch, and as a big Killzone fan even I couldn't get into it, so I think Sony/Guerrilla could see it was time to move on.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love another Killzone game in the vein of KZ2 but it's just not happening. Hell, I'd even take a remake or remaster of the first 3 games.

I'd hardly say it was "dumped" though, it spanned 3 console generations and 2 handheld generations.

1Victor585d ago

@obscured:”Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer”

Happily it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer( edited to reflect the writer true feelings and allegiance)
Kill zone was a FPS far ahead of its glitched competitors with nauseating bad camera angles, 10 years old screaming curses like a drunk sailor and bot aiming assist.

ChasterMies585d ago

“Sadly”?

The Horizon games were among the best games of all time. Killzone Shadowfail wasn’t.

Shane Kim584d ago

True, but damn the memories of KZ2 multiplayer. Still no MP as fun as that to this date.

Mr_cheese585d ago

Dumped and shelved are two different things

Tacoboto585d ago

And Sony as a whole dumped the FPS genre so they wouldn't have products competing with COD and (until purchase) Destiny.

I loved the KZ2+3 campaigns and MP in 2. There could be so much more done with the franchise. Horizon although good, I wish they'd go back to this wonderful IP. Take a break from Horizon please.

Flawlessmic585d ago

Agreed dude, I would absolutely love a reboot of the series, one can only hope that either resistance or killzone makes a return.

Have nothing but great memories, especially of the first 3 games, but all 4 were show stoppers graphically.

blackbeld585d ago

To making it a successful reboot they have to change that buttons layout! Make it playable like the cod button layout. Otherwise I’ll skipping it again.

Rynxie585d ago

And that's the reason why many fps games failed. Instead of being original and catering to it's fans, they tried to make it like cod. No, kz doesn't need cod button layout. It needs to be like it was on kz2 or balanced liked kz3.

Lightning77585d ago

I think Kill Zone would do great in Sony's LS push. As well as MAG reboot and bring back Resistance into LS.

Sharky231584d ago

@Lightning77

I think WarHawk would have been a great Live service game.

thorstein585d ago

Killzone games were so polished. The gameplay was just simple joy. MP was one of the best experiences.

I remember KZ3, just staring at how awesome they animated the water and then getting wasted because of it.
