![]() If your DualShock 4 controller runs out of juice, the Vita can be used as a replacement controller. The brilliance of Remote Play doesn’t end there, though. Sony also rules out using it over 3G as well but someone has already been running PS4 Remote Play over 4G LTE. Those are guidelines for the most suitable environment, but it has already been shown that Remote Play can work on a different Wi-Fi connection as long as your PS4 console is turned on at home. It also stated that the ‘PS Vita system be within close proximity of the Wi-Fi access point so that the connection is free of interference’. In a Q & A back in October Sony explained that both the PS4 and PS Vita were required to be on the same Wi-Fi network and that the home console should be connected to the ‘local area network via an Ethernet cable’. It works because both are equipped with similar hardware like the 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi standard to make sure the process takes up very little bandwidth to connect the two devices together. Clearly Sony’s previous generation consoles were the testing bed for its much better integration with the PS4. The problem was it only supported a ‘select’ few titles and results were often laggy. The PS3 supported Remote Play with the PSP and the Vita. So you can continue playing out your FIFA 14 career or finish off the single campaign mode in Killzone Shadow Fall while someone has hit the input button on the remote to watch TV. This process lets you play almost every PS4 game apart from ones that require the PlayStation Eye camera with little signs of latency. ![]() The Vita then decodes the content and sends the information back to the PlayStation 4. It’s done by downscaling and compressing images and sending it to the Sony handheld via ![]() Then I picked up my PS Vita to explore Remote Play and I found the ‘game-changing’ feature I was searching for.įor those who are not really familiar with the concept, Remote Play is a basically a way of mirroring the PS4 console screen. There’s little to suggest the DualShock 4 controller really needs a touchpad and a built-in speaker as well. The Share feature is interesting for people wanting to live broadcast games, but that’s not really my thing. What I really wanted to see were the innovative features to make the PS4 experience so entirely different from the PS3. A console 10 times more powerful than the PS3 delivering gaming PC-like performance. It’s quicker, the games look better and Sony has finally sorted out that terrible interface among other things.īut then that’s what we expected. As a PS3 owner it’s quite easy to see the differences. I’ve been fortunate enough to spend the past week playing and getting to know the PS4. But the PS4 has a secret weapon and it’s a something that’s been around for a while. From hardware to launch games, there’s very little between the two. I'm just poking around in the dark.The PS4 finally launches in the UK just a week after the Xbox One as old rivalries reignite once again. I tried something something along the lines of yi fan's work and putting in my psn id in the fine but no luck. There's a file called account.dat under the user directory that seems to be tied to psn. I also figured it might be something similar to the psn enabler work that was done on the vita. If any hacks come out for 5.05 then i'll be able to pull a registry copy from my initialized ps4 and compare. I've been playing around with the ps4 registry editor without any luck on this. I feel that this is kinda like the browser initializing and that some work needs to be done to trick it into enabling it without psn. Whenever you go to it it asks you to log into psn. I'm in the same boat myself where i'm on 4.55 and remote play is not initialized. The reason was that when 1.76 was the latest firmware they initialized it. Remote play initialization is tied to psn, but once it's been initialized and turned on i don't believe you need to even be connected to the internet for it to function with remote play.Īt least i've read where people who were still on 1.76 were utilizing remote play over their local lan without any problems. I'm not really sure if the replies are true or not.
