PS3 update to allow Vita Remote Play for all games

[garyopa]

PSP resolution for existing games. 480p mode for future games.



EuroGamer claims a source has told them, a future PlayStation 3 firmware update will enable Vita Remote Play on all games, with older games playing at 480x272 resolution but newer titles will be 480p

That's according to Eurogamer, which claims to have learnt that a future PS3 firmware update will introduce the functionality.

Back-catalogue titles will reportedly only display at the PSP's 480x272 resolution, although this will be upscaled to fill the screen.

But new games will have the option of including Vita specific 480p playback.

SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida used his keynote address at last year's Tokyo Game Show to demonstrate PS Vita's Remote Play functionality, which you can see in the video below.

He showed off Killzone 3 being played remotely with Vita as the controller. While the new handheld doesn't offer all of the PS3 pad's buttons, the game makes use of the portable's rear touch panel.

It is about time Sony make better usage of the 'Remote Play' feature that been their from day 1, but very limited.

Rumors are this upgrade to go against those that might switch to the new Wii-U system because of the hand-held tablet controller with its own screen that comes with each Wii-U console!

wow lol so vita games would probably look like wii-u games ha ha ha

There is a difference.. Wii-U is bundled and gets 100% dev support, while most PS3 owners will never buy Vita.
We already know how much devs ignores MOVE. Most new PS3 games doesent support Move at all.

[Diztructor]

100% dev support, erm thats because its got no choice, its the only controller, and theres plently of games for kids to play with the move, after all motion controlled games are just that, for kids.

[Battlefield]

If its for kids only, then why are Killzone 3, LOTR, Resistance 3 etc. supporting it?

Nintendo know that special controllers need to be bundled with a console to get full support, while Sony and Microsoft doesent.

When thats said, i still play nearly all games on my 360 and PS3.

no nintendo mask a last gen system with a fancy motion controller, make a hype to make it sell, then it ends up with party this n party that games, can see the exact sam going to happen with the iFAD.

what microsoft and sony do is OPTIONAL, if you dont want to play games with motion controlls you dont have to, and yes some games have support for it like killzone but still doesnt interrest me, other than adding support i thought you would have realised the rest of the games are for kids, same with kinect which by the way is the only true motion controller, does everything nintendo claimed and failed with the wii, it actually tracks your body and represents it in the game, the move tracks the wand (more accurate than the wiimote) all the wii sensor does is creates a virtual environment and estimates the wiimotes location, add in additional (years later) motion tilt sensor, but still nothing compared to kinect.

read the two new news posts i just added to the submit new forum, together they seem to suggest that whilst optional this gen they will be standard next gen with sony appearing to allow continued use of move / ds3 and ms shipping kinect v2 with both its new xbox systems (we already know wii u can use wii remote+), the only option so far is the vita as a ps4 controller which as an option may not succeed but could work for remote play (maybe far better if it can be used over wifi but only if it can turn on and load installed ps3 games since no one would want to leave their ps4 turned on and the choice of a single game wouldnt appeal to many).

Optional add-ons have rarely been successful, and Sony failed on PS3.
Microsoft succeeded as you say with Kinect, but most games for Kinect is still also kiddie games.

I have Move and Kinect myself, but my Move + Navigon have collected dust since release. Kinect is much better, and its quite responsive. Its kinda funny how the pointer lags on the game menus, while its accurate ingame. All motion controllers have 1 thing in common..mostly party and kiddie games. Just look at the Kinect game list too. Overall Kinect have way better game list than Move thou. Move's biggest weakness is that it requires calibration every damn time you use it. Why didnt they learn from Nintendo? Wii have 1 calibration for all games, and so does Kinect. Move doesent even have motion on Navigon like Wii does.

The coolest addon i have for PS3, is "The eye of judgement". The card scanning actually works with that old **** camera if its bright enough.
I have all addons for 360, Wii and PS3. Including everything for music games, fitness, quiz games +++

Music controllers is the ones i use most, because its fun at parties.

i dont see the point in using a handheld as a console controller, mainly vita missing 2 shoulder buttons and likely l3 and r3, but also dont see the point in playing a handheld on a tv kinda beats the point of it been a handheld, your supposed to play them as a handheld, id rather play a console on my tv, not a handheld.

rear touchpad = l2 +r2, no idea on l3/r3, agree about the rest, i was meaning using remote play away from home.

I actually have the Eye of Judgment game and the PS3 Camera, I got them both on close out for like $20 in a bundle pack! The PS3 camera is amazing and that free ap you can download to record video's is pretty amazing too. Real time special effects! That new PS3 camera also makes an amazing PC web cam with the right drivers.

On the main topic, the main problem I see with playing any console game on a portable screen is that small things on a big screen = invisible things on the small screen.

Edit: By old **** camera you did mean the PS2 one right? if so it was ok back when it came out most web cams back then where about the same. The PS3 camera is leaps and bounds better, it responds well in low light conditions, it has like 8 times the resolution and if you into sound things you might get excited that it has like 3 or 4 directional microphones built in (I guess at some point they wanted to do some sort of positional audio thing with it? I'm not quite sure what they where planning.)

Unveliable, this console will rules.

probably a bit worse given it's an after thought streaming off hardware not designed to do it and software created at short notice, wheras the Wii-U is built with it as an intergral part of the design. Thats what happens tho when you get one company innovating and another trying to jump on the bandwagon and copy them at the last minute to try to steal some of their thunder, hopefully it's better than sixaxis and and at least sony had the common sense not to rubbish it before doing themselves.

not always copying at the last minute

sometimes it takes years ...
