The Wonderful World of Remote Play

Remote Play is a feature that allows one device to transmit its audio and video outputs to another device. When you hear the term “Remote Play,” its common for most to think of PlayStation hardware, but Sony aren’t the only players in town taking advantage of this technology. They may not label it as remote play, but its very similar tech. We are seeing more device becoming remote play compatible (or whatever they want to call it) as time goes forward.

I love how Sony has been expanding upon the idea of Remote Play for the past 10 years. It will evolve even further when PC & Mac become Remote Play compatible with PS4 in the next update.

I recently bought a second Nvidia Shield TV for the bedroom TV and managed to sideload the modified PS Remote Play app on to it, it works brilliantly, as a added bonus, you can also use a wired USB DS4 controller to play the PS4 games(better than the Nvid controller, that thing is way to bulky).
Just hope that Sony bring official support to non Sony android devices.

Picked up a PSTV for only $30 and can now play my PS4 games in the living room too. Really nice feature this gen.

Revvin2975d ago

Even though I've had the capability to play remotely on my Vita from PS4 and more recently use my XBOX One remotely on my PC I don't really find it that much of a useful feature. You get issues with lag etc, I'd rather just unplug my console from the TV downstairs and plug it into another TV in the house or my computer monitor

SpaceRanger2975d ago

I think the concept of remote play is really to have it on the go. I've remote played from across my state back when I was in college (~400 miles). It's an awesome feature!

If remote play were only tied to being on the same network, it really serves no point.

Summons752975d ago

I'm not a fan of remote play due to those lag issues but also my computer is hooked up to the same TV that my systems are hooked up to, always have been since it was possible, making all this "play your games on the PC" completely pointless.

SniperControl2975d ago

I went on a business trip to Japan last year and took my lads PSTV with me, i plugged it into my hotel rooms TV and played on my PS4(PS4 is in the UK), i was very impressed, hardly any lag at all.

rainslacker2975d ago (Edited 2975d ago )

Most of the lag I see tends to be spike like in nature. Outside of connecting through a poor connection here or there, I've seen no perceivable lag in a game itself....aside from random spikes.

On my home network, Remote play works flawlessly for me on the Vita and PSTV.

If you're having issues all the time with lag, i'd recommend looking up configuring your router to support streams better.

Top 10 Rarest Xbox 360 Games That Are Worth a Fortune

Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”

"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"

1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.

Soy277d ago

I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.

gamerz277d ago

Me too. Here's the best I can do:

El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76

Christopher276d ago

Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.

Soy276d ago

It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.

jznrpg277d ago (Edited 277d ago )

Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.

sadraiden276d ago

Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are the rarest games of all time.

8 Best Games Set In A Multiverse

One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.

However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.

While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.

15 Amazing PS2 Games That No One Remembers

They may not be as remembered by the vast majority as other classics, but these PlayStation 2 titles are still significant.

A good number of these games are pretty well-known in the gaming community. I don't know who this 'no one' is, but they might not have been a gamer during the time of the PS2. ICO? The Warriors? BULLY?!? C'mon now.

FullmetalRoyale297d ago

Certainly not as interesting as a spoon controversy, right?

Terry_B298d ago

Not one of these is pretty "forgotten". But what you can forget are bad lists that need 15 clicks.

Terry_B297d ago

edit..why the fuck was this shit approved by 2 guys after all?

luckytrouble297d ago

Because the approval system is fundamentally flawed. The amount shouldn't decrease for approval over time, nobody should be able to have more than one vote, and pending content should be more visible so those measures don't feel necessary to push through less immediately popular pieces.

The number of ways this system can be intentionally or accidentally abused so crap like this can get through has been ridiculous for ages now.

Petebloodyonion298d ago

The title is misleading, it should be 15 best ps2 that you always ignored (hence the title of the video).
These games are not unknow but often left out when talking PS2 great game.
The warrior is a great game but let's be frank just mention it in a discussion amongs friends and half the crowd will go " OMG I forgot about that! "

Christopher296d ago

I think that's just a factor of time. Most movies from the 80s/90s that are great are like that with me as well. They're still great, just been so much between now and then that you can't keep it all at the forefront of your mind.

banger88298d ago

15 games on 15 pages? F*** that. I'll save you a click:

The Thing
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
Deus Ex: The Conspiracy
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly
Twisted Metal Black
ICO
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy
Transformers
Silent Hill 4: The Room
Red Dead Revolver
War of the Monsters
XIII
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
The Warriors
Bully

Good man, keep up the work homie

Leeroyw297d ago

Agreed. Some heroes put on their pants one leg at a time like the rest of us. Thank you.

MrNinosan297d ago

I remember and know all the game exceot War of the Monsters...
But maybe my name is "no one"

Phoenix76296d ago

Last time I checked (a year ago) War of the Monsters was available to buy as a ps2 classic on the ps store. Know I've still got my disc copy and fairly sure it's in my digital library

This video game journalist must not know any gamers, not be on any gaming sites, and is probably young only know of these games because of an older sibling.

None of those games are forgotten and most are spoken of fondly fairly often.
