Support NeoGAF

[Hamster Plugin]

This is great. I hope they're also making the Android app officially available for all, so I don't have to rely on a modded version. Nvidia Shield Tablet has a mini-HDMI out port, which makes it great to remote play with (in addition to its own PC remote play), I don't think the Sony tablet has that.

 

[Unknown One]

Shoe hay fuckin shiida. That's mai boi.

 

[ShadiWulf]

This is really cool news. Like others have said, look forward to remote play on my Macbook Pro once I get a PS4.

 

[jaypah]

Sweet, my main PC is hooked to the same living room tv as my PS4 but I can use the secondary PC in our game room with this. Good job, competition is alive.

 

[Canon]

Well, my PS TV had a good run of lagging the shit out of every game...

You can use and MHL to HDMI adapter with Z Tablets.

 

[Negotiator]

Is it technically possible to use Remote Play while the DS4 is connected to the PS4? I don't want to connect it to my PC.

 

[JustenP88]

Oh yeah that's some good shit right there

 

[Blanquito]

Finally!

If it works like Vita, yes

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Why do people keep bringing up the PSTV? How does the PSTV relate to this at all? Were people hooking their PSTVs to their computers and using remote play?

I didn't even know that was a thing.

People bought pstvs to remote play. Now we can just hook our computers up to the tv.

 

[petethepanda]

Going to have to hide a DS4 controller in my desk at work I guess.

I have my PSTV tucked behind mine :lol

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Whoa. What? Megaton on Thanksgiving?! I hope they put it out soon. It would be great to be able to remote play on my Macbook

 

[The Omega Man]

Announcing it the same day the unofficial PS4 remote play app launched, Trollei Yoshida

 

[totowhoa]

I'd love to play my PS at work when I want to take a 15 minute break.

 

[Lnkn52]

Even better news that it's officially coming to Mac.

 

[Calvero]

PC/MAC

i haven't been forgotten<3

 

[Cleve]

Man, being able to stream xbox one/ps4/steam all to the same box/tablet is a dream come true. Let's hope this does 1080p, that was always a gripe about the vita tv for me.

1080p on a 1440p or 4K monitor is going to be pretty nasty.

1440p sure, but 1080 scales great on 4k

 

[demosthenes]

This makes me very happy. Does this mean we might be able to play Vita games too ?

 

[cjp]

Gimme me that iOS support yosp.

 

[MrGerbils]

I love that they also mention Mac.

I feel like streaming from both Xbox and PS4 should be able to go to PC, Mac, iOS, and Android no problem, and any choice to limit it from one or the other is kinda crap.

 

[Kama_1082]

He once said that the vita has full support from Sony...

 

[outunderthestars]

He once said that the vita has full support from Sony...

And it did. They made an Uncharted, Killzone, MLB, LBP, Resistance, Hot Shots Golf, etc and fonanced Call Of Duty, Assassins's Creed, and more. Nobody bought any of the games so they stopped supporting it. This really isn't a hard concept to grasp. This revisionist history bullshit is tiring.

 

[Fat4all]

He once said that the vita has full support from Sony...

And this is relevant because...?

It's not like they are removing remote play from the Vita or sommit.

 

[Chanser]

Woah megaton

Don't know why I thought you said Megatron.

 

[The Artisan]

Based Yoshida.

What does this mean?

 

[RichiRamjag]

This was one of the main reasons I owned an Xbox one in addition to my ps4. This is pretty big for me. Going back to one system.

 

[Fat4all]

What does this mean?

'Based' is slang for being the tip-top, the cream of the crop, the best of the best, the one with all the dosh, the king under the mountain.

 

[kitschbeam]

OOO YEAH

 

[funkystudent]

Great news. Wanted it for ages.

Should have happened a year ago and not just now because some yahoo was homebrewing it.



They should do mobile as well for all modern iOS and Android phones.

Same goes for PS Now. That shit should be on anything with a internet connection and a way to connect a DS4

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Wow, did not expect that, haha.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Knowing the quality of their computer apps, I'm sure it will be dogshit. (At least the Mac version)

 

[Persona7]

He once said that the vita has full support from Sony...

Shu also once said Demon's Souls was crap and an unbelievably bad game. But Sony ended up publishing Bloodborne years later.

none of this matters

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Sounds like they're only doing it because someone else did it first.

 

[Brashnir]

"working on it" enough to send a C&D to the people making one on their own, moreso than enough to actually release something anytime soon, I suspect.

 

[odhiex]

Oh sweeeeeeeettt... can't wait for this. I think my laptop is capable enough for streaming this.

 

[Fat4all]

Sounds like they're only doing it because someone else did it first.

Sounds like they're doing it because someone else showed them it could be done.

 

[Garuda1One]

OMG YES now i doesnt have to move my PS4 to my PC when my wife want to watch american next top model, or married at first sight australia

 

[The Artisan]

got it, thanks. So this is yoshida being awesome.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Sony getting real complacent:/

Spoiler

im joking

 

[dallow_bg]

Announcing this saves people from purchasing the unofficial app.

 

[WaffleTaco]

What's the point of this? Why not just play on your PS4?

 

[Fat4all]

What's the point of this? Why not just play on your PS4?

What if you want to play it from another location without having to lug around your PS4?

Seems like a perfect solution.

 

[Got the Shakes]

Announcing this saves people from purchasing the unofficial app.

It certainly would if there was some sort of time frame for the official app to release. For all anyone knows it could be a year from now.

 

[MThanded]

Gimme gimme gimme

 

[ShutterMunster]

This is a smarter move than I thought Sony was able to make. Maybe they'll put Playstation Vue on TVs or even the PS TV next...

 

[OfTheOverflow]

Excuse my ignorance, but is this feature just so that if your main TV is occupied by someone else, you can just stream it to your PC/monitor and view it on that wirelessly instead of plugging it directly into your monitor? Do we expect to be able to use KB+M?

 

[Charcoal]

Based Yoshida.

All over my face

I'm assuming they will want it working similarly to the way you can stream Xbox One games to PC.
