Can someone fully explain what remote play is? Does your ps3 have to be on? Is the game streamed to your system or installed, if its streamed is there lag?

 

Remote Play is a feature on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita which allows a PSP or PS Vita user to interact with their PlayStation 3's Xross Media Bar. Users can access music, videos, photos, PlayStation games, PlayStation Store and various applications stored on the PlayStation 3's HDD, or external flash drives and optical media attached to the PlayStation 3.

Remote Play works by encoding a live video stream of the output image on a PlayStation 3, then delivering it over a wireless network connection to a PlayStation Portable. Actions performed on connected devices such as the pressing of buttons are uploaded back to the PlayStation 3 over the same connection. This is similar in concept to remote desktop in Windows and Linux. The audio may also be sent to and played by PSP or PS Vita, or instead delivered through the normal PlayStation 3 audio connections, thus allowing the PSP or PS Vita to be used as a remote control for a PlayStation 3 acting as a media player.

I've tried it once on my PSP, wasnt that much of a big deal, not a big fan of the feature but its nice for those who want to do something extra I guess.

 


Meh... for these 2 titles I'd much rather a Vita port. But for High end ps3 titles, this could be quite cool. Sony would need to get big titles to support it, Like God of War accession or GTA V.
