If they can just sort the whole remote play thing out then I would go out and buy one the next day. Even though the Vita has about 30 or so launch titles they are mostly ports or just garbage games in general. Without access to my old PSP games I am going to need to have something to do with the thing, and remote play would be incredible for me since I am out of the house a decent amount at a university that has pretty decent wifi access all over campus.

If they just sorted out the problems with it I would probably have no reason to even buy Vita games since I could just play PS3 on the go ... maybe that is part of the reason why they are dragging their feet on fully implementing it.

whats wrong with remote play, I just used it today!

I was under the impression that only certain games were supported at this time. If everything is working fine, and all PS3 games work with it lag free(at least singleplayer ones if nothing else) then I may need to invest in a Vita sooner than I thought.

Is there a list of functional games that work with it now, or is everything compatible and it basically functions as a portable PS3 without lag?

This is the only list i could find. Looks pretty thorough. They split it in confirmed to work and confirmed not to work.

I used one at Gamestop today. I loved it! They had 4 in stock, but I didn't bring enough cash haha. For some reason I thought the analog sticks would be bigger though.

I'm also impresseD by how smOOthly you can go from the gaME to the OS to reaD the manual or whatever and back again. The whole system is really a thing of beauty.


Is there some hidden troll in this post? There must be!

See it now?

So according to list basically nothing is supported. That is pretty much what I thought was going to happen with this. Seems like a big missed opportunity for Sony. They could have seamless HD gaming on the go and at home, but it looks like they don't care about this feature. Forcing developers to make a patch for each game pretty much confirms to me that remote play will not be widespread on a decent number of games for at least a year or so. Glad I decided to wait on the Vita now.

in finding that i read of a lot of people who have more games working but i believe that is with hacked ps3 firmware so they can modify the file that allows remote games on the games. I dont own a ps3 or vita though so i am not too sure myself.

Truth be told I'm a little disappointed, I was truly hoping to see some legitimate criticisms for the system but instead it just gets more praise. Sadface.

But seriously, there's already a rather LONG thread about this, two in fact. "post your vita first impressions" thread and the simple "Vita" thread. If I was a mod I'd lock this *Glares at montana Hatchet*

The system interface can be buggy.

The face buttons feel smaller than the PSP causing for some accidental presses. Not to mention that the X and the 2nd stick get into each other's way.
