Not a Review: PS4 Remote Play on PC

It's probably worth bearing in mind that this is the first release of the PS4 Remote Play PC app so it's possible that it'll be optimised further in the future. Basically: it's not perfect, but it's not terrible and it'll do if you're just wanting a mess around before turning out the lights. Here's hoping that future software updates for the app help sand down the rough edges on an otherwise great little option.

I'd say it works well but has the potential to work great.

What's funny is remote play has only been mentioned as a side note by Sony. People were asking for clarity regarding PS5 for months and eventually it was acknowledged right on launch, like, "What? oh yeah, that's there too and works great, but whatever, we we want to talk about..."

Meanwhile, every other article was touting how you can play your Xbox on your phone and showing pictures of a gadget attaching the phone to the controller...just like Sony has had (and I have owned) for YEARS!

isarai1282d ago

EXACTLY, it seems really weird to me.

potatoseal1282d ago (Edited 1282d ago )

It's because Sony know that NO ONE uses it. No one cares. MS will soon find that out. People just don't want to play big games on tiny screens via remote play. The people that do are in a small minority. It's the same with BC for 360 and OG Xbox, only a small minority even use it regularly. These are all nice features to have, but there are bigger things to talk about and that's why Sony hardly mentioned it.

gaffyh1281d ago

True, nobody uses half of the features to be honest. Just nice to have.

Neonridr1281d ago

I mean I bought my Vita basically to be used for remote play on my PS4. Most games it worked fine enough, some games had some brutal control setups which mean you had to use the touch screen to perform certain actions (infamous SS for example). I can see the appeal for people who want to continue gaming when they are away from their machine, but it's definitely not a huge draw.

Tacoboto1281d ago

I use both remote play (PS & Steam) and BC (Xbox) regularly... Remote Play is super nice when you're able to use Ethernet on your host devices, none are really playable to me over Wifi.

Xbox though doesn't let you play 360 games from remote play and it's got terrible audio crackling. So even when they're later they're still worse at it.

nveenio1280d ago

I use remote play a lot. Just not for playing. I use it for things like checking downloads or installs, or even logging into a game to see what the in-game notices are without having to climb out of bed to the living room television. It's a handy feature. I treat it quite a bit like remote desktop. No, it's not how I want to use my PC all of the time, but it sure is nice to have that kind of access to my PC when I want/need it.

You can remote play on your phone, laptop, desktop, etc... And as long as you have a solid internet connection it works really good. I've been using my iPad left and right with it. Remote Play has been around since the PS3 days, and it has gotten better with each generation.

I don't recommend using it in highly responsive driving games as sometimes you can get a little hick-up, but it's perfectly suited for games like turn-based RPGs, cards games, and things like that.

I've been remote playing on my Sony xz3 for the past two years now with a dualshock attached to it and it's a million time better with a psvita.

Teflon021691d ago

XZ3 is only just over a year old though...
But yes, this Android feature is nothing new and I actually prefer it on Vita over phones

Ratchet751690d ago (Edited 1690d ago )

I meant xz2.
Just a typo😉

NarutoFox1692d ago

I haven't tested it out yet

bluefox7551691d ago

I tried this a few years ago, you had to use a work around though, probably easier now.

KTF261691d ago

I can download it from Play Store now
I assume it's no longer exclusive on Xperia devices

Xaevi1691d ago

Works better than with a Vita, it would lag real bad for me on there. Ik it's never gonna happen but I would so love a remote play app on the Switch

Zeke681691d ago

Just buy a Playstation...

Xaevi1691d ago

I already own a PS4. so what would buying another do?

KTF261691d ago

his comment implied he already own a PS4
he just want a remote play App for the switch

Zeke681691d ago

@KTF26
Fair enough, guess I fastread these comments just a little too fast while I was sitting here in the local hockeyarena waiting for next period to start. My fault. 😉
