Remote Play For Vita Detailed

The Playstation Portable sported this feature, so it is natural that the Playstation Vita will have REmote Play. This feature will allow players to play Playstation 3 games on their Vita via connecting to that Playstation 3. This was demonstrated at the Tokyo Game Show with Killzone 3 running on the powerhouse handheld.

Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida spoke to Famitsu about the feature. At the Tokyo Game Show, the connection was a wired one due to a fear of interference from other devices. However, he has revealed the desire to match the speeds of the wired connection through the wireless channels. Also, tweaks to the CPU and memory use of games must be met by the developers in order for this feature to function properly.

If Remote Play isn’t your thing, then you may consider the Vita as an extra controller for the Playstation 3. It can work thanks to the rear touchpad and the second analogue controller. However, it may open other possibilities developers can explore. This means that the PS3/Vita combo can act like the upcoming console the Wii U and its tablet controller. There has been no word on the availability of the feature.

Josh is the name, writing is my game... well my degree will say that. But, when uni gets me down (and it does), there is no better way that to grab a chair, sit back and slicing up some DarkspawnI started my gaming interest back in the good old 16 bit era with the Sega Mega Drive and Sonic The Hedgehog 2. I was roughly five years old. To this day I still try to fire up the dusty companion and speed through the wacky and bright levels, jumping on some Badniks, collecting those damn Chaos Emeralds. Then I moved onto Sony's disk based console the Playstation (thanks to my uncle). Since then I have picked up each of Sony's consoles from the 5th to current generation that has been released in Australia (with more to come).In terms of writing about games, I am quite new to the field. I started out late last year with my own blog before deciding to move to greener pastures. I have written a few reviews for the Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable. Features as well. I hope I can flex my muscles while writing with Capsule Computers.If I'm not gaming, however, I'm writing narratives. I am currently trying to kickstart a high fantasy novel (which, hopefully, turns into a complex RPG) that I want done in five years or so. My passion of writing has been there for a long time and has flourished as I grew. I'm into the fantasy genre, both games and novels, and thoroughly enjoy a deep and complex RPG, whether it comes from the East or West.Oh and anime is awesome!
