Forums - Sony - Sony focusing on Remote Play with Vita instead of Cross-Controller support because people lack “four eyes”

Sony has said it is focusing more on Remote Play between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita instead of using the latter as second controller because “people don’t have four eyes.”

 

Speaking in an interview with CVG at gamescom, Sony World Wide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida said the firm tried out dual-screen gaming with LittleBigPlanet’s Cross-Controller support, and while it is interesting in theory, “you have to tell people when to watch the portable and watch the TV.”

“But people don’t have four eyes, so I think that’s why we are focusing on Remote Play,” he said. “I like playing console games in bed on Vita.”

Almost all PS4 games can be played remotely on Vita going forward, and the tech was demonstrated yesterday during Sony’s gamescom press conference when Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot took the stage to show how it works in Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag.

PS4 is out in November

they have been pushing remote play ever since the days of the PSP. this is certainly a neat feature



He's right, it takes away the immersion of most of the games that are on PS4 (like killzone and driveclub) however it is good for games like Game and Wario.

Well, cross controller support doesn't work for two reasons. First off, people don't have 4 eyes. Second of all they don't have a Vita.



saying "because people dont have four eyes" makes no sense If we would have 4 eyes we would still only be able to look at 1 thing at the same time. Its not like we can really look at 2 different directions because we have 2 eyes......

If sony thinks we can look at different things in different directions at the same time, then according to them 2 eyes should be sufficient to look at 2 screens at the same time.



no inventory or maps? what a shame..

Really?  That's your problem with it?  You're assuming that 4 eyes would have the same biological "rules" as 2 eyes, and yet for something as dramatically different as that, it's doubtful that'd happen.  

Some animals can see in different directions with only two eyes.  Our eyes move in pair for the most part, so it's not completely unreasonable to assume that if we had 4 eyes we could look in two different directions.  Our other 2 eyes wouldn't necessarily have to be in sync with our first two eyes.  


What makes you think that having 4 eyes would automatically make us look in different directions when you say that OTHER animals can do it with 2 but we cant?

Saying we "don't have chamelion eyes" would be a much better example than  saying "we don't have 4."



How about playing my Vita games on my PS4 with the PS4 controller?

This is what I really want (What I really wanted from my PS3/PSP combo also)
