Chark on 22 February 2013

Sony copying Nintendo 6 years before Nintendo confirmed.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Who cares? Playing games on tablets and phones is shity (you know dual analog games on analogless devices) and requiring a vita doesnt help either.

It will always be optional and therefore will fail

Say, "no way"; say, "no way-a!" No wa-a-ay! Nada! Why don't you get job!

In all serious, I need 4 jobs to afford all that in a respectable time frame. :S

While that seems a good idea on paper, I don´t see Remote Play as something palpable to the average consumer, simply because it´s too costly. This, of course, considering solo play. As for the off-tv play, to do the same that WiiU does, it´s necessary to have 2 consoles. I don´t see many users, apart from die-hard Sony fans, taking any advantage from that.

For multiplayer, of course, that is a great idea, because you can play with a friend or relative that has the other console. This purpose is clear with Monster Hunter for WiiU, should be clear to Sony consumers too.

Nintendo commented on Move way back saying it was way too late.
Sony is going after them immediately now. I'd say Nintendo didn't want this.

Why is it a copy? Remote play existed even on PSP. Now it is only being implemented correctly. I used it on PS3 sometimes, but the lack of campatible games is a killer problem. But it was nice to keep and eye at downloads on PS3, but wasn't a killer feature.

If they make every PS4 game compatible, or at least most of them, it will be more interesting. But I won't use it a lot anyway. Why I will play gorgeous PS4 games on a 5' screen if I have a 40' one? And that TV is only for gaming, so its always available. When I can't play there for some reason, I play Vita games. I'm more interested in the companion app to access extra content in the games using Vita or my tablet. That is a killer feature. But, if Gaikai allow me to play remote games on Vita using the Internet, now that is a killer feature.

The idea .

i absolutely agree.  nintendo's blantant copying of sony's idea is disgusting. 


No way. Nintendo worked with remote play since the Gamecube + Gameboy Advance era, even before the launch of PSP

It´s just that, as the technology improved, companies got a better idea of how to work on it. So stop this Nintendo-copying-Sony-copying-Nintendo bullshit



S.T.A.G.E. on 22 February 2013

Why do you think no one was impressed when the Wii U was compared to the PS Vita? Portable playing of games was always expected to come to the Vita, it was just a more expensive way of doing it. Now with the PS4 and Gaikai they can do this more smoothly than getting two versions of a game straight from the box.

I honestly think Nintendo would benefit more if Vita was reduced to "expensive gamepad" status.

They can let 3rd parties carry the 3DS after Pokemon and focus on console development.

This is the second time I read this from someone. Who actually believes it would just become a gamepad?

It does have games coming out, and will continue to have games coming out. It just now has other abilities as well...maybe even playing games from gaikai while you're on the road.
