I started using it as a controller on the PS4 too, since I only have a DS4. But it's not like I want. What I have to do is use it via remote play and use the DS4 as player 2. It works perfectly, but the Vita's screen remains on and showing the game. I would like to have the option to turn it off (so it could last more hours) and the option to be other player (instead of always player 1). It's good to note that I play Vita games on it and don't use it only as an acessory, but I like to have my extra options. About the library, I think people overreact. 3DS doesn't have a lot of big 3rd party titles too, almost all of them are only on home console. None of them can really be as effective as a home console. |
The Vita is fantastic as a satellite device for the PS4; it's what I thought the PSP would be to the PS3, but that never really panned out.
It dropped the UMD format, which was probably the worst thing about the PSP, it added the second analog stick along with the rear touch pad, making it a viable substitute for an extra DS4, and the whole Remote Play thing just plain works as hyped. Like I said; I really like the Vita, I just don't use mine hardly ever.
Of course in all fairness, I don't use my 3DS at all anymore.
When I want a quick portable gaming fix, I won't bother carrying a dedicated gaming system so I just play something simple on my iPhone.
The Vita is really only something I'd bring on a trip that didn't involve me driving. I don't have a problem with the limited library; I understand perfectly where SCE is coming from in not wanting to divert big resources into games for a limited user base, but that's really what's going to keep most people from buying one if they're in the market for a dedicated gaming portable system.
