Support NeoGAF

[Dante]

Uncharted and Ratchet on PSP? YES PLEASE!

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

Holy crap, this might tip me over the edge and put me at 4/5 console ownership.

:lol I've been there since a few months ago, going to 5/5 next year. Can't wait to be able to play everything.

 

[bounchfx]

crap.. What if I have to change discs!!! noooo, no rpging on vacation for me.

 

[Roxas]

Wow, this is amazing. I'm really temped to get a PS3 just for this.

What do you do for games that require the back shoulder buttons or the right analog stick, though? Seems like that would be quite a problem.

Use the directional buttons or the nub.

 

[shinsnake]

remote play is the one innovation that nintendo will probably copy from sony.

sony needs to push remote play a lot harder than they are. although this gives some psp owner more reasons not to buy software :lol

They freakin' need to. I mean, if I could play my VC games on my DS, either through download or remote play, I would be shopping with my wife all the time.

 

[Kyoufu]

So the PSP firmware that just got released has increased support for remote play on PSN titles.

Let the testing begin!

 

[John Harker]

Can someone explain to me how this works?
I'm new to PSP and I don't have a PS3, but this sounds cool.

You can play any PS1 disc game thats in your PS3 from anywhere your at a hotspot ,or only in range of the system?
And its the full game, etc?

 

[Dama]

lol it works

I'll try a few more games in a sec

 

[Riskbreaker23]

How onlogical can Sony make this.

- The PS3 is backward compatible for PS1 games, but not for PS2.
- You can't upload PS1 games to your PSP, but you can play them using your PS3 as a platform for your PSP.

I'm confused.

its logical if you take piracy into consideration. to actually take advantage of this feature, you have to physically own the game.

this time next year ps2 software emulation will probably be ready. it took MS two years to get it on the 360.

 

[Madman]

That's a really nice feature for the few who own both.

Man am I glad I am one of those few.

 

[davepoobond]

that's pretty awesome...

 

[AndriaSang]

I didn't see this answered, but is the PSP being used as an emulator for the PlayStation hardware with the PS3 used as a network-based CD drive that fetches data whenever the PSX game being run requests it, or is this just remote play with the PSP being used as a monitor? If it's the former, there shouldn't be any gameplay lag at all.

 

[Brannon]

Wait; how does the PSP handle the lack of L2 and R2 buttons?

 

[cjdunn]

Now all I need is a jukebox attachment so I don't have to keep swapping out discs.

 

[Dabookerman]

The ps1 playability works on 3.73 ;x



Anyway, heres a vid i made

 

[Wes]

I'm sure if I owned a PS3 and a PSP I would be ecstatic with the news...

As I don't, I'll just tip my hat to Sony and say "Well played Sirs."

 

[Dabookerman]

hold Select + L/R

 

[nincompoop]

Attack of the PSP pre-launch memes!!!

Damage control much? 90 minutes is fine for playing a couple of quick online games but most people like to play RPGs and such for longer periods, it seems like a legitimate concern to me.

 

[Laguna X]

- Internet Radio
- Media Manager 2.5 (For Free)
- Remote Play PS1 + PSP Feature

Best Firmware Update ever!!

what?

 

[Civil]

Use the directional buttons or the nub.

My PSP only has a left nub. What about the right? Can you toggle operation to it?

 

[Schrade]

what?

When you press and hold select, the left nub simulates the right nub, and the L1/R1 for L2/R2. It works fairly well.

 

[itxaka]

wait, then....ummm didn´t the psp already played ps1 games???
If not, i been mistaked all this time as I thougt it did. Anyway, even if it did, you couldn´t rip your own cd games to the MS (except with the CF) so it´s a nice feature.

BTW how the remote turn on works? is wake on wan? the ps3 should be sending it´s ip address somewhere rigth? I really have no idea how it does it without sending anything, and with the ps3 off. It makes no logic for me.

Sorry for the offtopic

Oh snapplecakes! Sony am sooooooo good! Thanks for the link.

:lol 90 minutes. Where did you get that from?

 

[CurlySaysX]

too much lag for it to be of any good use. IMO.
Played W'o2097 and it took at least half a second to respond to my commands, I couldn't even reach the first bloody check point. Looks nice though, better than playing it natively on the big screen.
What a game. Hasn't aged at all. 10 out of 10.

 

[Brannon]

hold Select + L/R

I see.

Except the point of my comment was that it lasts longer that with Wifi on, plus there is the longer-life battery for the PSP now. Nobody has tried to claim the PSP would last only 90 minutes with wifi on since the launch period.

 

[burnfout]

M33 PSP's still cannot use Remote Play right ??( without messing with the flash0)


Get cracking DA!

 

[dionysus]

This is an awesome feature, but disc swapping is going to be super annoying on my business trips.

The old battery would actually last 2.5 hours, so even his outdated source is incredibly wrong. :lol

2.5, 1.5, same thing, you know?

 

[Madman]

For turn based RPGs, it should work great.

 

[klee123]

Excellent feature, I doubt it'll be good for fighting games and etc, but it would be wonderful for rpgs where quick inputs aren't needed.

The fix is easy enough, really.

 

[tino]

This is the only time I wish I have an unhacked PSP.

Good job Sony.

 

[tanod]

Sony has some great commercials. They have the games ones. They have the movies ones.

Now, they just need the everything else commercial:
Show off the PSN games and store.
Show the PSP connectivity.
Show the 6-way video chat and picture sharing.

[Dead Man]

This is so close to being a system selling feature for me... and yet it's not. The crappy state of WiFi in Australia is most of the problem, you just can't do it very many places.

Full SW BC for PS2 games would kick me over the edge if they could be played on there. That would be it. The deal, many dollars would be leaving my mortgage account to be spent on technological frivolities.

 

[gcubed]

More and more, PSP needs a revision that implements a 3G network service.
Attack of the PSP pre-launch memes!!!

NO!! I cant spend MORE money per month on gaming.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Just finished playing a round of Allied Commander via PSP/PS3 Remote Play, while I was downstairs at the gym working out. Worked perfectly.

I can also confirm Warcraft II works as well.

Go to Remote Play Settings and set it up for less graphics and better response times. It'll probably work. I leave mine set up for better video most of the time, when I'm just watching video streams, but turning the video down and the response time up works good for playing PS1 games with very little lag. You don't miss the graphic quality on PS1 games.

 

[Mudhoney]

This is really cool. A PS3 purchase may be imminent for me. I wonder if Sony would be this aggressive with new features if they were still dominating the industry?

 

[Steroyd]

My god, I may actually finish Bof 3 now.

Holy crap and FF 1 - 6.

 

[Shawnwhann]

Hmm....after playing both Wipeout and Castlevania through remote play, it appears that slow paced games or rpgs are the best fit for this feature. Anything that requires precise timing will not be that great because there is lag that creeps in. What experience are you guys having?

 

[painey]

this is fucking crazy! no more need for the annoying as shit ripping of isos and converting them and all that bollocks.. hell you dont even need custom firmware any more?!oh baby

 

[Steroyd]

Games like Crash Bandicoot are horrible because of the lag, but I don't care I get to play all my old FF's on the go.

 

[kaching]

Hehe, good point.

 

[dionysus]

Yep, I have always wanted to play all the great ps1 rpgs I missed, but playing them on my HD TV just annoyed me. Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve here I come.

 

[chubigans]

Make sure to increase the response rate by +2 in the PSP menu.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

This is great.

I've been banging the "Remote Play is a killer app!" drum for months on NeoGAF. Hopefully this, as well as the features added in the last update, will encourage more people to actually try it.
