It will look exactly the same as on PS4, just on a smaller screen.

That was a game built for portable.
This will be PS4 game streaming on the Vita. Big difference...

DOPE!!!

Thanks For the news update. I was afraid this was fallen on deaf ears. Glad it wasn't. I have my vita and outside the launch games, and KZ it hasn't been enjoyable. Good thing to know I will be putting this to use. I hope it isn't laggy, like past gens with remote play

Ok that sounds awesome. Thanks for the clarification

Streaming tech has come a long way, I have a Wii-U and it works just fine on that so I assume the PS4 and Vita will also probably stream fine. For everyone asking, it will look like the PS4 game as it will be streaming to the Vita not using the actual Vita hardware to make the graphics, the PS4 hardware will still be doing that.

Plus, NBA 2K12 was actually a psp game, not a vita game, it was playable on vita, but it was designed for the original psp.

I don't think it works this way. Your vita has to be close to your ps4 and the wi-fi spot.

# 15 23 @ 11/09/13 09:41 PM

Im not sure you have to be near the system but it does work via wifi and being on the same network is probably the best way to play without it being connection problems.

Really loving this feature. Only problem might be that I have to keep the game disc in the PS4 in order to play the game. Anyone know if leaving the disc in the console for an extended period of time, even when its turned off, is bad for the disc?

# 17 Blessin @ 11/10/13 03:51 AM

That's awesome too bad i won't get a Vita until remote play doesn't become something you must do in the same wifi as the PS4. On another note. ANOTHER 50 GB HDD. Okay is this instal game data or install the whole game??

With next-gen the games are installed (not sure but I think mandatory since they are huge, NBA 2K14 will be 43 Gb install), but either way the disc shouldn't even be spinning and like installs on current gen will just need to be in the system to prevent piracy but shouldn't be spinning at all so no danger to the disc itself.

Xbox guy here, so pardon my lack of knowledge, but how exactly does this work? Do you have the PS4 on, and then the Vita acts as a controller and a screen only? So all of the processing is done at the PS4? So essentially, the Vita is a wireless monitor and a controller, nothing more? If so, that is awesome.

Yes.

There are some other things that are different with PS3 and PS4 regarding Remote Play I'm sure. In fact, now I think it's called PS4-Link... unless that's just for playing a PS4 game with the Vita as a controller (minus the "wireless monitor" aspect).

But with PS3, you can choose to connect locally (private network) or via Internet. PN is the only one that works well on PS3 if you wanted to actually play something. Through the Internet (not using the same router or something, and being very far away) you can turn on your PS3 and sync up from your Vita, whereas this isn't possible through PN. However, like I said, it's probably only good for a small set of things. I've hardly used that though.

For PS4, the hardware will be better and the support with games will make this possible. I can't wait to see how it works, especially when I get my own PS4!
