I bet it works better than many would like to admit, for whatever reason. There's been a lot of positive stories about it so far.


Thing is via mobile there are too much variables which will greatly influence your experience while on the go.

True, but I've seen videos demonstrating great ping on average connections.  Maybe some people have bad variables, but the service definitely works in many places, maybe more big cities than rural. Who knows.  I guess the experience will be different for everybody, but Sony can't really help that.  I like the option though.


I made a post on GAF on what influences your experience based on how you want to use remote play:

 

Experience on the different possibilities (from best to worst):

1. Wifi direct

Experience will only depend on connection quality/distance between PS4 and Vita.

2. Local Network

Experience will greatly depend on connection quality between PS4 <-> router (perhaps even repeaters making it worse) <-> Vita and your home networking hardware

3. Remote wifi

Experience will depend on your home networking hardware, *your* internet access (bandwidth, latency), remote internet access (bandwidth, latency), your connection/quality to the remote wifi and the routing between local site and remote site.

4. Remote 3g

Same as 3, but even worse bandwidth/latency on remote site.

I had a 4g LTE access point and was able to play XBL games pretty well when at full strength. This should work good and even better over time when Sony optimizes the service. When I lost 4g and it went to 3g nothing worked, which is why I never understood the Vitas 3g.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Though, something interesting is that assasins creed 4 remote play drops resolution instead of framerate. Personnally, resogun had a slight lag like this video even when direct wifi. But assassins creed is perfect either with wi-fi direct or at job where we have like 30 device on the router, where its difficult to even buff a youtube video on one of our smart tvs. It seems to me that that the result will vary per game depending on the developer. Something sure is that it works way better then I thought it would.
