Do you know if this is also available for Z2 owners?

DarkHeroZX3881d ago

Not yet but it was confirmed to be coming to the Z2 and other android phones later. Its probably gonna be a Z3 timed exclusive feature but it is coming.

purp13m0nk3y3881d ago

Cheers mate. I had heard rumour that earlier Z devices would get support, but wasn't sure if it was just speculation. Great to hear it's definitely coming. I'm patient ;-)

xX1NORM1Xx3881d ago

That's awesome I hope they bring it to iPhone too I know they chances are slim but if MS do it then surely they will have to also do it

G20WLY3880d ago (Edited 3880d ago )

If that does happen, it won't be any time soon.

This is the sort of feature that sells phones. Septic (^ up there - where he always is..) is getting a Xperia Z3 because of this and so am I.

I think they'll use the feature to help sell the (already great!) Z3, since it's come out relatively soon after the last iteration. Once the sales slow, they'll maybe bring it to other Sony phones and then - maybe - to other makes. But as you said, only if their arm is forced by other partnerships and only if MS haven't insisted on exclusivity in their usual inimitable 'style'.

That's a lot of ifs, buts and maybes! :)

xX1NORM1Xx3880d ago (Edited 3880d ago )

I never argued the phones quality at all I don't really care about phones but as I have a unlimited 3G internet and unlimited texts with 500 minutes for £26 a month on an iPhone 5 I kinda wanna keep my iPhone // also about the MS comment I wasn't trying to downplay sonys achievement (trophy! I'm sorry XD) but seriously doing this on a phone is amazing I just said MS cause they were talking about bringing their remote play alternative to pc browsers and tablets so I assumed MS would try to one up Sony by adding other brands products to their supported list that would in turn persuade Sony to do the same. I really don't care about Sony or MS I just care about what I can do with products I own

I was about to upgrade from my xperia z to the z3 until I read it was planned to bring remote play to the xperia range. It should be awesome on my z2 tablet.
Going to hang fire now and upgrade to the rumoured xperia z4 smartphone.

G20WLY3880d ago

When it says the Xperia range, I believe they mean the Z3 range, since it's definitely been confirmed that this will work on the Z3, the Z3 Compact and the Z3 tablet.

fOrlOnhOpe573880d ago

@G20WLY
Im pretty certain I read that the z1 sand z2 phone and tablet will be able to access RP when Sony update them to Android 4.4.4 kit kat early next year. Sorry but can't find the link.

G20WLY3880d ago

You could well be right mate, but I reckon they'll use this as an extra incentive to get sales for the new Z3 range.

Once the sales slow down, I expect they'll bring it to the older Xperia models. We can but hope!

Switch 2 accessory makers are “working hard” on magnetic analogue sticks to combat stick drift

Nintendo Switch 2 stick drift is already an issue, but accessory makers are already working on magnetic joysticks.

I've never had stick drift in any controller I've ever owned. All my joycons (3 sets) from my Switch are perfectly fine. My Switch 2 ones are good. Never had a dualshock / dualsense have it (did have a dualshock get a stuck trigger once). Even my Valve Index controllers which were notorious for drift were fine for me.

Goodguy011d 9h ago

Varies. Just because you've never had one doesn't mean others won't. I've had PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers indeed drift on me. Remember the drift lawsuits that Nintendo has had.

Please stop trying to say that traditional potentiometers are absolutely fine when hall effect/tmr sticks are beyond superior lol, not sure why so many people keep trying to defend potentiometers when hall effects are so pro consumer.
Companies like nintendo, sony, and mcsft don't want to implement them simply because they want you the consumer to keep buying them. Most casuals will just buy a new controller if theirs difts, easy money for the big 3.
I've gone hall effects and have never gone back, can leave my controllers out absolutely fine without worry of dust ruining the sticks.

Neonridr1d 9h ago

when did I say that traditional joysticks are absolutely fine? I'm sharing my own experience here. I never said that others don't experience issues, nor that this is somehow acceptable. Strange leapfrog from A to B on that one.

People love to say it's a huge widespread issue, yet you only hear about it because the minority is vocal whereas the majority don't report anything because they are fine.

I'm happy you switched to hall effect sticks, if that's what works for you, then awesome.

Christopher1d 8h ago

Cool? Pretty sure this is for those who are having it happen. Not sure how your anecdote addresses other peoples' problems.

Neonridr1d 5h ago

people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will.

Pyrofire958h ago

lucky you. I've only had minor drift once in my L Joycon which I fixed with some card stock, but drift is an undeniable problem as a whole.

repsahj5h ago

My 2 sets of Joy-Cons from my OG Switch started to drift with just a month of use. That is why I bought Dobe Joy-Cons with just $25, and until now they are still fine. I hope this will never happen again on my Switch 2.

jznrpg56m ago

My left joy con for the OG Switch got stick drift right away as well. I never had issues with my PS5 controllers since launch until I got my kids PS5’s and they had stick drift with 2 controllers. They drop them because they are kids and although I have them wash their hands before gaming they still get gunk under them somehow. I got their controllers modded because they would have issues no matter what I have them do.

The tech is already there. I had a couple of my PS5 controllers modded with Hall Effect modules and they work great. They should come standard with them these days but they don’t.

OtterX8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Nyxi already made some fantastic Hall Effect controllers for Switch 1. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't have it by now if Nyxi has had for years.

spoonard5h ago

Cheap, frictionless sensors ALREADY exist. Why are they "working hard to combat stick drift"? Stick drift should be a thing of the past at this point. The technology is here...NOW. It has been...for YEARS! Why is stick drift even still spoken about? It shouldn't exist!

Cat Quest III Is Heading to Apple Devices on August 8

"A big part of being a cat pirate is sailing the seas and traveling from place to place. What better way to do just that than by playing Cat Quest III on the go? Soon, aspiring kitty pirates will be able to enjoy the charming cat-themed action RPG on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. That should be a purrfect option for gamers who don't have the game on Switch or Steam Deck. The iOS version will still support 2-player local co-op, thankfully," says Co-Optimus.
