| Chark said: Yeah, right now there are only a handful of games on PS3 that do that. PS3 remote play is also hard to pull off thanks to a bad choice in how remote start works. It uses the same signal to turn on as most routers do constantly. I'd have to have someone turn my PS3 on and start remote play while I'm out for it to work. Hopefully it is set up right this time and user friendly. |
PS4 is "always on", so that is the big difference in how PS3 behaves for remote play. Basically, there is likely a setting where you are also "always connected" and your PSN can interact with the PS4 to turn it on for remote play or start downloading a game you purchased via your phone while sitting at work. (that last example is actually mentioned in today's GDC event)
