Why would you want to play on the vita when you could just play on the TV???!?

A variety of reasons. Someone else wanting to use the TV probably being the biggest one for many people. Personally, I usually use my Vita while I'm sitting in bed. Remote play would effectively add my PS4 library to the list of games I can play while I'm in bed.

What I really want is non splitscreen co-op using one ps4 and one vita tv on a different tv, if that gets confirmed I will be very happy. They had that simulview technology which uses 3d glasses to create two different views which gives me hope.

Seems like that wouldn't be a problem for games that are already supporting Vita/PS4 split screen...

Can someone tweet and ask if the same goes for that Playstation TV thing releasing in Japan?
IE:- You can do multiplayer matches on two separate TV screen?

Huh, that's pretty neat. I also didn't know Knack worked the same way. I can now scratch buying a second controller until the blue one comes out.

It makes sense and will be very cool if 100% true.
It's the PS4 doing all the processing right? The image is just streaming to the Vita/PS TV?
Yes. The receiving device just has to decode the video stream and send back controller inputs. Same as Gaikai.

So it means the PS4 is rendering 2 full 1080p images instead of two half screen images like normal split screen play?

YES!!
That's awesome! I was hoping they'd include this feature.
Can't wait to try it!

I'm so hyped for this launch.

That NFS remote play video sucks ass. Is it my laptop? Freezes and shit everywhere. I mean it may be their game, but there's no way it's doing 2 different screens if that's what it's like in one screen mirrored.
The latency and visuals were decent at least.

So what's going on. The tweet seems pretty clear... hmm maybe?

Sweet. Just like the WiiU. This will probably make me buy a vita down the road. Hopefully there would be another $100 Vita firesale. Damn hoarders
