PlayStation Vita Plays Red Dead, Batman and More Via Remote Play With Custom Firmware

he PlayStation Vita’s Remote Play feature, as it stands right now, doesn’t do much. Killzone 3, which was demonstrated as having Remote Play functionality, doesn’t even currently work with the PlayStation Vita at this point. A YouTube user, though, has put up footage allegedly showing him successfully playing a number of high profile PlayStation 3 titles on a PlayStation Vita via the Remote Play feature, including Red Dead Redemption and Batman: Arkham Asylum. - PSLS

I'm against Custom Firmware and most hacks in general because of the possibilities it opens for piracy, but hot damn, this makes me want some CFW.

If Sony really wants to put an end to CFW, make this happen without it.

It really makes you wonder, why can't you do this in the first place?

doctorstrange4482d ago

I think the big concern for Sony + publishers, is that if everything was remote-playable, Vita software sales would likely be lower.

It's a shame, cause this would be awesome.

ginsunuva4482d ago

But people would buy more Vitas and more ps3's and ps3 games. Also, Vita software is likely to struggle anyways, so universal remote play would help get some more Vitas out into the public = higher software sales than they have now.

Solid_Snake374482d ago

I dont think so, if Sony starts showing Vita's remote play features on a ad i guarantee the Vita's sale would boom

FriedGoat4482d ago

This remote play is just PSP remote play anyway, REALLY BAD input lag. Roll on new remote play titles!!

alien6264481d ago

they are fake...look at his fingers when he plays mortal kombat...also i know spinach he says...This is how it will look if you plays this games on the vita.

sarshelyam4481d ago

They'd only be lower if you're offering the exact same experience on each platform. For titles that aren't happening on the Vita, I'm not so sure how this would do anything but bolster sales of both the Vita hardware, and the PS3 SW that isn't supported through native Remote Play.

That said, I'm with the concern on custom firmware. These are doors that really shouldn't be opened so soon in a hardware lifecycle, if at all. It only serves to force a manufacturer/developers hand in enforcing various security measures it hadn't originally intended.

I have CFW on my PSP, but i still buy games for it; I have over 20 PSP games.

jujubee884482d ago

This is pretty much homebrew in comparison to the utilities Sony is handing out devs. The official tools will be able to use the following with next gen remote play software:

-front touch
-back touch
-Six axis
-Camera
-etc

I imagine some more in-depth "Remote Play 2" features will come soon after launch.

Also, I am a proud geek. That is how I know this. :)

ftwrthtx4482d ago

CFW is very bad for the gaming business due to piracy, but at the same time the extra features have always made the PSP a much more capable machine.

radphil4482d ago

Yea. It's a double edged sword.

You have pros and cons on both ends of it.

tehnoob34482d ago

I never got why a "double edged sword" means it has it pros and cons? Wouldn't a double edged sword be superior to a single edge because it allow the wielder to attack from either side?

radphil4481d ago

tehnoob3:

In a way yes, but that's also a drawback.

It basically goes that two sides of the same blade are sharp or "cuts both ways". It is something that could be dangerous to both yourself, as well as to your adversary, or both for your case and against it.

One example is imagine of you blocking an attack with a single sided sword (in which the blade is pointed away from you), and a double edged/bladed sword. If the person you block is stronger than you, the single blade hits you and you are relatively ok. However with a double edge, the other side of the blade can cut you.

Hopefully that made sense in helping you out.

There's both a benefit and a liability.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming17d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long17d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10117d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor17d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6917d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno17d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming17d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast31d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg31d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.
