Forums - Sony - Rumor: The PS Vita can remote play any PS3 game

Whilst this can only be welcomed.... I have a couple of points.

This has to be a planned event by the user. What I mean is if I want to play LBP2 on the Vita I would had to have planned this by putting the disc in my PS3 and leaving it switched on and signed in. So an impulsive session is out of the question on full titles.

Wireless or 3G required, 3G is very hit and miss.

I see the best use of this as multiplayer control in the same room and not as a way of streaming games whilst out of the home.


The PS3 has a remote start feature which while let you turn it on via Remote play through the internet. I've done this on both PSP and my SONY Vaio. You can use this to access all of your videos, music and movies on the PS3 or an connected flashdrive/external hard drive. Also, the few games that do support the feature (on PSP, never tried games on the Vaio). When you exit remote play you're given the option to shut down your system or leave it running as well. The only real point is that you wouldn't be able to switch the inserted disc, which is kinda obvious.

I approve :P ... Sounds really good. I'm still waiting till they put out a model that has video out though. I want to be able to plug my vita into the tv and play on a bigscreen if i'm home. That gives a lot more value to the game for me personally.. And helps justifying the purchase :P

i would expect that functionality to be available through ps3 - vita communication, and because of that they may not feel the need to add video out


I do hope you're right. It would make sense that it was the other way around too. Though my ps3 is busted so it wouldn't really help me much right now :P

 

Though having a direct to tv input would be more energy efficient (concidering how expensive electricity is these days) it would atleast be better than nothing :P



Check out my game about moles ^

while, yes you would have to have the game in the system (or perhaps any game saved on the hard drive), the remote play can also remotely turn on your ps3.

so you wouldnt have to turn it on, it can be off until you wanted to play.

At this point in time I see this mostly being useful for playing PSN games. In any case the more features the better.

Which is the key point I would have thought.  

The fix is easy though...  allow full installs (a la 360) but control the rights to that in some way other than the disc having to be present in the host.   The best solution is obvious.... no physical media - downloded game hosted on the machine or in the cloud.

As long as the presence of a disc is required the remote play (away from home) feature is compromised.


PS3 can be remoteley turned on over the internet, fair enough you will have to remember to leave a disk in to play a disk game, but you can still access all your download games. Id hardly call it a compromised feature.

Its a pretty sweet feature, im just hoping Nintendo will make there version run over the internet as well and not just in the house.

I don't understand people some times. Seriously, the handheld is possibly getting such a kick ass feature and first thing you get is people trying to find negatives in it.

For me I look at it this way, seeing as I have the WiFi model -

I have Disgaea 4, Star Ocean The Last Hope International, Resonance of Fate that I currently own but have sitting on a shelf because I don't have much time for all of my super long games. Most of that time is going to Dark Souls and Skyrim right now. Then early next year I have to try and plow through Ni No Kuni, Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Tales of Graces F.

Most of those games drive my fiancee nuts because I ALWAYS take over the big screen in the living room and I get bitched at all the time. Plus in the Vita thread I mentioned how I wish games like Ni No Kuni were going to be on the Vita instead. Some of these JRPG tend to have super cheesy dialogue can make you feel a bit dorky if the lady is watching and listening to some of the horrible crap (See SO4, lol).

Now this way I can still play them just as I would on the big screen, albeit a smaller screen and with the luxury of headphones. All while my fiancee gets to take over the living room TV now.

HUGE Win/Win situation for me.

 

For me this is a KILLER APP!



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

It will be my main use too, Remote Play is a great feature and I plan to use the same way you talked about it. Hopefully this isn't just a rumour, and the Remote Play is better then PSP/PS3, didn't had a great experience with that, sadly.

If they confirm this can be done in reverse, I'm buying a Vita day one.
