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.

 


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


Don't like that I don't orgasim over Sony like most people do on the forums well thats tough luck.

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 doubt this actually takes that much effort if Sony is mandating it. Probably just putting your game through some established pipelines established by Sony to have the correct resolution for the Vita.

That's my take on it but I'm no expert on this and neither do I have a Vita. I might however end up buying a Vita if they make a PS4 Vita bundle that is of good price.

I don't care what you orgasim over, I'm just making it a point that you should be ignored when you bash a good thing. You can keep disliking Sony as much as you want like you are so far.

Shouldn't be difficult or costly for developers to do it. They won't be making two versions of the same game as some people think.

PS4 will work as a server and Vita as a Client. Also, Vita shares almost the same button configuration as PS4, it won't be a hard to adapt the controllers.

I hope they don't mandate it, may lead to similar issue when Nintendo mandate stuff (like quality games lol) on their consoles and developers left for the competition.

Remote play (streaming gameplay) and using Display as second screen like Wii U (displaying extra content) are two different thing.. the former doesn't take much effort and only benefits the gamer's

Great news for the Vita! Adds a lot of value to that handheld

Gives people a reason to get one.

Remote play is mostly automatic and done by dedicated hardware, so developers won't have much work to do. The thing Sony is mandating is for developers to provide an alternative controller scheme for the Vita if their game uses L2/3 and R2/3 buttons which the Vita lacks.

I don't get the reason why people should be ranting about this. Are you guys devs or something? I can maybe understand if they're devs but you're kinda still talking out of line.

Let's hope there's gonna be some sort of solution to the possible headaches and bottlenecks. Like the PS3 in it's starting time, devs had a hard time with the thing. Now look where it's at.
