Killzone: Shadow Fall on PS4 and PS Vita Remote Play Compared in Stunning 1080p Direct Feed Video

You’ve seen a few videos showing Killzone: Shadow Fall played on the PS4 and on the PS Vita via Remove Play at the same time, but this one is quite different, as it isn’t recorded off screen, but it’s a direct feed recording of both displays.

This + the games are enough reasons to own a vita.

GarrusVakarian4233d ago (Edited 4233d ago )

Absolutely amazing, its exactly the same! I remember when i first heard about remote play and i didn't understand the concept and i thought that the PS4 games would look like crap on the Vita but it really is a handheld PS4 when you use remote play....just at the Vita's native resolution and framerate.

I have no need for this because i have 100% ownership and control of my TV but man...if i get one of those wives any time soon, this is going to be the first thing i buy lol.

Edit: The audio in this game is top notch too, i always appreciate good audio in videogames.

fOrlOnhOpe574233d ago

@Lukas
Stick with the games. Wives are time-consuming and rarely gaming-friendly lol ;)

Sarcasm4232d ago

Funny you should mention that, my wife really wanted to watch tv and so I had to use remote play. Playing on this 5" screen is insane, it looks like CGI the whole time without a jaggie in sight since it is down sampled. I really didn't care about this feature until I actually have to use it.

FamilyGuy4232d ago (Edited 4232d ago )

Seeing it live is like futuristic in a way. Having graphics that look that good on a portable gaming machine is just insane.
This and the game streaming are PS4 killer apps.

And it works while away from home too and you don't need some Godly connection speed, just a decent one. Play you PS4 games while on lunch at work through wifi. Or while visiting family. PS Vita Tv at $100 is gonna be an awesome compliment as well.

And when Gaikai drops... Game over.

GamersRulz4233d ago

RP over the internet is the best feature of next gen consoles!

GarrusVakarian4233d ago

It's a seriously underrated next gen feature in my opinion. I haven't even seen it in person and im impressed. Imagine playing Infamous SS on a Vita while you are out and about via wi-fi hotspots.

I know this sounds like cheesy corporate talk...but it really is a PS4 in your pocket.....lol.

Skate-AK4232d ago

Dat marketing talk. Haha.

ABizzel14233d ago

The one thing I don't like about it is that you can't map the controls in the PS4 or the Vita version.

I'd rather throw grenades and send the OWL out with the front touch screen then searching the back for the right spots. It seems much easier to swipe the back touch screen for what version of the OWL you want to use, because that takes no precision.

Also can someone tell me if you can run on the Vita version, because I haven't figured out.

Controls aside the good thing is that it runs flawlessly. Can't wait to see what the PS5 and PSTab will do with 1 : 1 controls.

twdll4233d ago

Can change the controls in the settings, from what I remember.

ABizzel14233d ago

It 's only one other option, so you can't map the controls to your desired buttons.

bobacdigital4233d ago

Wondering what the test conditions were? Also I read in other reviews that remote play is limited to 30fps :(

El_Colombiano4232d ago

Streaming 60 frames every second. That would be so difficult to do.

Xer0_SiN4233d ago

vita is that awesome piece of hardware sony hyped it up to me. now people start to realize. remote play is that "killer app".

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.

MatrixxGT240d 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.

127maXimus240d 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.

Demetrius240d 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

OtterX248d ago (Edited 248d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne247d ago (Edited 247d 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-ro248d ago

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

just_looken247d 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

MDTunkown248d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72248d 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_looken247d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya247d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast248d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood248d 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_Observer591d ago

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

Vengeance1138590d ago

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

Cacabunga590d ago

With the downfall of COD and BF, Killzone def. has a chance to make a groundbreaking comeback

Notellin590d ago (Edited 590d ago )

What a low-functioning reply here typical of the fanboy N4G community.

Rimeskeem590d ago

“Dumped”

I think it’s called moving on.

Barlos590d ago (Edited 590d 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.

1Victor590d 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.

ChasterMies590d ago

“Sadly”?

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

Shane Kim589d ago

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

Mr_cheese590d ago

Dumped and shelved are two different things

Tacoboto590d ago

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

GoodGuy09591d ago

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.

Flawlessmic590d 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.

blackbeld590d 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.

Rynxie590d 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.

Lightning77590d ago

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

Sharky231589d ago

@Lightning77

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

thorstein590d 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.

P_Bomb590d ago

It’s been a decade? Now I’m sad.

LiViNgLeGaCY589d ago

I hear ya bud. We're due for a revival.
