Forums - Sony - PS Vita TV - Dualshock 4 for front touch controls?

BinaryDelt on 10 September 2013

I know the PS Vita TV was announced and portrayed as something to be used with the Dualshock 3, though there is a point in this Sony Japan commercial below where a DualShock 4 is seen being used with it (0:49):

That makes me think it's feasible that you could use a DualShock 4 with PS Vita TV when playing Vita games and use the touchpad for times when the front touch is needed in Vita games, such as in the QTE sections of Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

Thoughts?

Uncharted cant be played on Vita.tv

I hope the devs can make a small update to these games that uses touch features to just use the controller instead.  I little disappointed that UC and KZ can't be played via PSV TV at the moment.

And back, using R2 or L2 to alternate. I don't any games require you use both screens at the same time.

PS4 doesn't launch in Japan until 2014 yet this comes out in November in Japan. Just some food for thought.

That's my point.  It can't today, but if this idea was used, it could, theoretically.
