Support NeoGAF

[goonergaz]

Windows 10 is faster, more efficient, and overall just a better product in my opinion. Plus it was being given out for free.

Was? I thought it still is?

Either way my laptop is now slower with W10

 

[Psoelberg]

Niiiice! I'm gonna use this a lot.

 

[Kysen]

I've installed the app but It doesn't look like a DS4 driver was installed. So i'm guessing that it only works on the app.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Yep that's why it requires USB connection.

 

[DieH@rd]

Yup, it works.

There are keyboard controls also. Arrow keys, Enter [X] and Escape [/\] work in main console screen, I did not look for other buttons or try it ingame.

 

[Dreathlock]

What do you need to setup on Router and PS4 to have this working over the Internet?

 

[driver116]

Yup, it works.

How's the latency?? Better or worse than with Vita?

 

[Theman2k]

Why are you not on W10?

Because it costs 250$.
And I can't upgrade for free.

 

[jonaa]

It's out on PS4 now. Downloading...

 

[Black Hat]

Works great on Mac - used a certain game to test out the input lag (haha)

Really need to get around to importing this

 

[Fliesen]

i bought my vita almost exclusively for in-home-remote play (and playing luftrausers on long plane flights, #no_ragrets), but i can't wait to be using a controller with PROPER analog sticks.

 

[OfTheOverflow]

So this feature is, ideally, for people away from home? Or just when your main screen isn't available? Somehow I still don't really see the application if not for those.

What a time to be alive.

Your PS4 can only be in one place at a time. You can have multiple displays in a house at a time.

 

[mrobbo]

Well done Sony. This is awesome. Just had a quick ten minute Dark Souls 2 session whilst the daughter watched tv. No issues so far so i'm more than impressed.

 

[Servbot24]

Excited to try this on my 5k Mac! Wish there was a wired option to eliminate lag though. My internet kinda sucks.

 

[Piotrek]

How's performance on Mac in terms of temperatures and fan speed?

 

[cyberheater]

Because it costs 250$.
And I can't upgrade for free.

If you have a genuine version of W7 then the upgrade is free. Why can't you upgrade for free?

 

[Baleoce]

Installing it now, but just wondering. Does it have an optimized setup to take advantage of ethernet cables? Both my PS4 and PC are cabled. I'm basically wanting to use this as a means of dumping footage onto the PC without requiring a capture card.

 

[Label]

A bit of an odd question, I do not have a spare PS4 controller at work but I have plenty Xbox controllers, anyone know if they work? I doubt it

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

DS4 only and only via USB.

I have audio piped through my Mac because I'm partially deaf I use headphones to hear the TV so I don't have to keep switching headphones between TV and PC.

With the remote app open I can hear double the sound if my TV is on and there is a little bit of latency but it is very small. Not tried any games yet.

 

[c0de]

Apart from it being a better OS, a free upgrade and apps like this only supported on Win10. I can't think of a single reason.

"A better os" this was discussed before. And no, it's also supported on Windows 8.

 

[Fliesen]

yes, this feature is for playing on your PS4 when you don't want to hog (due to sharing a household with somebody and being a considerate person) or simply do not have physical access (due to being at work, in bed, on the toilet) the TV your PS4 is hooked up to.

off-TV play is the WiiU's single greatest feature.

 

[valkillmore]

Can't wait to mess around with this. Will potentially use it a LOT

 

[Vuze]

Yeah, I hope somebody mods in XInput controller support, this would be rad.

 

[Alej]

Go to control panel, programs, "Turn Windows features on or off", enable "Media Features".

It worked. Thanks!

 

[Son of Flounder]

Think I might have it working on Windows 7, this is how:

- Copy RemotePlayInstaller.exe to C:\Temp\RemotePlay
- Run CMD (command prompt)
- Enter the following
C:\Temp\RemotePlay\remoteplayinstaller.exe /extract

Now look in the RemotePlay folder and run RemotePlay.exe, it will be in a subfolder (mine was called E424768 but it may be different for you.

It goes through the connect process but I get Connection Lost at the end but I think this might be our corporate firewall blocking it. Also, I have the latest beta update on my PS4.

Let me know if anyone gets it to work.

 

[Luth1en]

Has anyone been able to download firmware 3.50 on their PS4?

 

[Hoo-doo]

I wonder if this app is enough for me to get my Persona 5 on when i'm in Boston for three months early next year. Sure the'll be lag, but my PS4 is hardwired to a fiber connection and it's not like Persona 5 is a twitch based game anyway.

Cautiously excited. I'm updating my PS4 right now.

Has anyone been able to download firmware 3.50 on their PS4?

Yup, almost done.

 

[nel e nel]

No Windows 7 and no OS X 10.9 smh. You should be able to run this app on a toaster

Yep, not really interested in having to buy a whole new rig just for this.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Yeah, I saw other people saying the update had popped so I went into settings and system updates.

 

[Brinbe]

Just tried it out, it's solid.

 

[SpiritSlayer]

How do you increase resolution on Windows 10?

 

[AzaK]

No Windows 7?

Booo.

Who the hell is on Windows 7?!?!?!?

It can also be useful if you use your PC frequently (like in my case). I play my PS4 in my computer monitor and use an HDMI switch to jump from PS4 to computer. For the most part, that's fine, except if I'm using Skype or I want to watch something on my computer/listen to the radio while I'm playing, as I can't get sound from both devices at the same time. In that scenario, for instance, Remote Play can be quite useful.

If you do have a main screen which is not shared by another device, then you don't definitely need it.

 

[InTeNsO]

Btw Firmware Out in EU now.

 

[Nuszka]

Macbook late 2010 model with intel core2 duo 2 ghz , works great with 720 60 fps option , around 3 frames delay, its weird this app doesn't use a direct connection only internet.

Great example there, I think I'll do the same with listening to other things while gaming. Cheers

looks interesting, thanks for the info...can't try it myself until the weekend

 

[Diprosalic]

no OS9 support? booo

 

[Dio]

360p @ 'standard' frame rate is the best I can get.

It's not like I have a HORRIBLE connection. Is it because I'm running remote play through my wireless connection from my PS4 to my wireless connection to my laptop?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Will it work on my shitty little tablet laptop... Probably not, but worth a try anyway. Don't understand how people say they play through entire PS4 games on their Vita, such an awful experience whenever I've tried it.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

It's not like I have a HORRIBLE connection. Is it because I'm running remote play through my wireless connection from my PS4 to my wireless connection to my laptop?

Yes. The PS4's Wifi is terrible. Plug in your PS4 and try again, most laptop wifis shouldn't be as bad as the PS4's

 

[davidnolan13]

Anyone who is finding its not connecting either automatically or manually restart your ps4. It seemed to do the trick for me, might be something to do with me having it in rest mode just before.

Where can you change these settings?

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Where can you change these settings?

Start remote play, the Settings button is on the bottom left.

 

[SolidusDave]

For Android phones/tablets it's still Xperia-only I assume? :/

 

[| Praxis |]

It is, can't believe how bad it is and no 5G support.

For Android phones/tablets it's still Xperia-only I assume? :/

You can do it on other phones. I was playing Trackmania on my S6 a week ago. No controller support unless rooted though. Just Google it and you'll find the unofficial workaround.

 

[Sickbean]

Will try this when I get home but is my 2014 MBPr likely to have good enough WiFi to not bother worth a Thunderbolt to Ethernet cable? My PS4 is wired in.

Edit - I've got a 5GHz router

 

[DieH@rd]

Works great. I always had great luck with vita connection, so PC RP feels same to me [720p60].
