Forums - Sony - PS4 developer: Sony mandates Vita Remote Play for all games

Interesting that even though the PS4 eye should be bundled DF thinks that not many games will support it, I would guess he case would be opposite since it comes with every system, otherwise it would be a total waste of resources from Sony, we'll see how it goes.

Seems like I will have to buy the Vita alongside the PS4 this holiday season, hopefully some special occasions. will be in place.

well one thing they added was voice recognition.  so now theyll at least have that.  the problem with  last gen motion controls unlike the wii they were addons.  if devs know 100% people will have it it's an easier decision to support it

That's exactly my point. Since the market is not divided, every system comes with one, developers know that it is less risky then before and I would think most games would be supporting the PS4 eye in one way or another, some as a gimmick, some purely based on it like kinect games.

But read in the article, that Richard from Digital Foundry says the opposite, that there will not be a lot of PS4 eye support in the games. That was what struck my attention.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Didn't think Sony would be stupid enough to do this looks like I might have been wrong.


Why stupid? It's a built in hardwarefeature. I don't think it's gonna cuase devs all that much trouble to do it.

Adding trophies or something is probably more work than this.



Although known it's still great news for the Vita. :)

I love my Vita and gotta say that while this news is great for the Vita, I have mixed feelings about a company mandating anything.

Even Nintendo doesn't force devs to make use of the WiiU controller screen and some devs whine about having the extra screen to deal with. I doubt Sony can force devs to do something like this.

I hope not.  Mandating is never a good idea, but allowing them to use it (Or giving them incentives) is a VERY different ballgame.

Because it adds to the cost of developing games anything that adds cost is another reason not develop for that console, you want good will with people making games that will sell your console not piss them off.

Selling the Vita isn't anybody else but Sonys problem.

I'd ignore him, almost every comment he has made is saying something negative about Sony.
