Daughter's Controller Hack Creates Portable PS4

Controlling a Vita and Dual Shock 4 improves the experience more than you might imagine. Hack them together like my daughter did and you have a new way to play PlayStation 4 games on the go — big bright screen, controller sticks, lights and rumble.

Pretty cool little trick, but if i understand correctly the controller is connected to the PS4, so you wouldn't be able to play it anywhere in the world like he says.

UltimateMaster4159d ago (Edited 4159d ago )

Cool trick.

gaffyh4158d ago

OR you could just use your Vita...

hkgamer4159d ago

cool trick but as you say you won't be able to play it outside the range of PS4.

I was wondering when they would allow remote play on phones and tablets, that would be quite cool.

evs4904158d ago

When playstation now comes out.

Starbucks_Fan4158d ago

Can you use it anywhere with a wifi connection?

I tried it at Starbucks and it didn't work.

AtomicGerbil4158d ago

Likely to be a firewall issue with Starbucks.

XSpike4158d ago

& you only need 1 DS4 controller not 2

Pretty cool though, perfect for gaming outside or while TV in use

Wishing I had a Vita I would try this trick out myself >,<

Christopher4159d ago

When what they really need to do is allow you to register a DS4 with your Vita and use it as an external controller if you want.

e-p-ayeaH4159d ago

yes that would the ideal thing and sony could come up with their own solution to this issue.

MRMagoo1234159d ago

thats a good idea , sony should look into that if they arent already, it would sell more DS4 controllers i suspect.

FamilyGuy4159d ago

Everything will sell more DS4 controllers.

Them working on PS3
Using them for PS Now with any device
Using them for Vita Tv once released outside Japan
They plug and Play on PC

Add a vita update that allows native connectivity and DS4s will be selling like crazy.

chicagOriginal4158d ago

You use to be able to do this w/ a DS3 and a pspGO back in the day. Do not see why they would not allow it now?

XiSasukeUchiha4159d ago

Sweet Portable PS4 even better!

kinetic1004159d ago

My 2 girls were doing this the other day by accident, they were playing 2 player lego marvel when i wanted the TV for the football, so the use remote play and carried on playing 2 player on the vita. made me think it would be cool way to play split screen games.

chrisarsenalsavart4159d ago (Edited 4159d ago )

Your daughters are really smart.
it must be cool to have daughters who love gaming. Mine hate it. They prefer playing with Barbie.

Long live gaming.

GW2124158d ago

Probably time to just go ahead and give them up for adoption ;)

rustyspoon804158d ago

Keep trying until you have a couple of lads also :)

Hicken4158d ago

Seeing all the positive responses to your comment makes me happy, as a gamer.

Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.

crazyCoconuts9h ago

When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.

Profchaos3h ago

Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.

If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.

Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more

victorMaje46m ago

Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.

Alos8810h ago

Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.

OtterX10h ago

*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.

Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!

andy859h ago

Yup if you have a portal premium is the best tier for sure

jznrpg10h ago

Add some more classics with trophies. Vagrant Story first

OtterX10h ago

Nice choice. I agree!

Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!

Eonjay7h ago

I like Ridge Racer, Tekken and Grandia. Add Xenogears, digimon World 3, Classic GTA and ill be happy

jznrpg6h ago

Jeanne D’Arc was great!

@Eonjay there is a Grandia collection available for PS4, I’m not sure if it’s been on plus already or not

darthv7210h ago

cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.

Obscure_Observer10h ago

If the consumers are happy, Sony is even happier.

It is what it is.
