Remote Play is great. It works amazingly well for years, and even play Zombie Army 4 at work sometimes or some other games. But i use it on my laptop at work or pc at home when my girlfriend is watching tv.

To be honest, after FANTASIAN there is hope for mobile gaming. Got an iPhone, got an iPad and will soon buy a Mac so why not?
At least I hope it’s not some generic micro transactions oriented games.

There’s your new Vita, mates. At least it won’t have memory card problems, haha.
Would be very interesting if their PS1, PS2, PSP and PSV catalog ended up as iOS apps.

Movie games don't translate too well to mobile.

Serious console gamer
I’ve used remote play to get the platinum trophies in Spider-Man and Spyro Reignited. Guess I’m not a serious pro console gamer
What’s so serious about using remote play to grab some collectibles/finish up a plat on Sony’s casual first party single player games? It’s not like you’re going to be using it on Halo online or Bloodborne or some shit
Then again my broadband is rock solid and I get absolutely minimal latency.

People laughed at/bashed Blizzard, but they were simply way ahead of everyone else
There's a lot of junk out there, there's no deny, but there are a lot of great titles as well, the problem is that all those games that bring hundreds of millions/billions of revenue each year and make the mobile market look so lucrative are the F2P ones, a.k.a. the junk ones, whereas the games that are actually good, not filled with ads every 5min. and MTX/P2W mechanisms, are often priced too high, and often without a way to try them out before purchase, hence their sales and revenue aren't as high as what you'd expect looking at the mobile market's overall situation. So this brings the question, which way will Sony go? I don't see them going the ad-filled route honestly, so it's most likely the latter model, but given Sony's recent moves I wouldn't be surprised if they'd ask 30-40€ if not more for mobile games, especially from Apple's crowd.

Money is Money . If you see how much money the mobile gaming makes, I am still shocked more companies are not in it.

It's smart move.
We're joking around about phone gaming, but it's where money lies.
We might be thinking "Bloodborne 2 sells millions!" and it may be, but whats that when 3 phone games produced for fraction of budget will sell 6 times more and earn some stupendous sum of money?
The phone games will be produced. Presumably simplified in all areas, graphics, sound, scope. We may laugh it off. "Look at this turd!" ect.
But we may also accept it. May be even endorse it. Maybe port it for our platform. Let's be honest here, those games won't ever be the budget of ps5 game. They don't steal anything.
They might be the budget of big games, or initiative to make AA games for PS5.
I don't have a phone, but I'm holding my thumbs up for this. Because without this, it may be

Yeah that Fate / Grand Order is meant to be massive. I'd never even heard of it until a few months ago lol.

Porting to iPhone isn’t a surprise.
Partnering with a major tech giant would be.

As long as this does not affect console gaming, I don't mind at all. But only time will tell, I guess.

Profit makes shitty games. EA has ENORMOUS profit, what do they have to show for it? Microtransactions.

No, Jim saw the money that Sony Music generates on Mobile and wants a cut.
Pretty simple.

We might laugh at it, but it could literally put all the pressure on Nintendo. It made more than $4B, so it's safe to say it made much more net profit in its lifetime than PlayStation brand with all its services that made only $3.3B out of freaking $25.5B in 1 year!
Fate/Grand Order Surpasses $4 Billion After Becoming Japan’s Top Grossing Mobile Game of 2019
Fate/Grand Order hits $4 billion in lifetime gross revenue, Sensor Tower data shows.
Published by Aniplex, Sony Music:
| Aniplex Inc. (株式会社アニプレックス, Kabushiki-gaisha Anipurekkusu) is a Japanese anime and music production company owned by Sony Music Entertainment Japan. Established in September 1995, Aniplex has been involved in the planning, production and distribution of several anime series, such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Sword Art Online, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Fate, the Monogatari series, Angel Beats!, The Promised Neverland, Rurouni Kenshin, and more. Additionally, Aniplex produces and distributes music and soundtrack records, including the original soundtracks for all of Sony Interactive Entertainment's computer and video games. |
Aniplex - Wikipedia
Seems like Sony Music has outsmarted all of the Big 3 of gaming, no wonder PlayStation is establishing their mobile division.
Wanna laugh?
| No doubt by now, he's spent over $100,000 dollars on the game, which has generated well over $4B in revenue world-wide for Sony's Aniplex. |
A "Fate/Grand Order" Kraken - AstroNerdBoy's Anime & Manga Blog
AstroNerdBoy takes a look at the 2018 video story from the Wall Street Journal on a Japanese FGO player who'd spent over $70,000 in the game.

Yup, production of the game is just fucking $100,000 vs at least $50,000,000 for AAA games on consoles/PC!

PS3 version? I think it's possible with some tweaks and polish.

I think you'll download PS app that works like PS store for these games, and Apple gets a 30% cut from each transaction. After Epic Games fiasco Apple needs to fill the void.
UE4 games might need to be transformed to another engine?

Yes I think so too, it’s an opportunity for both companies. Sony is betting on Apple and Epic at the same time. Unlike google, MS etc Sony did not choose sides of that Apple vs Epic battle.
we do not know all the details when you have Nintendo on the Apple event it’s free publicity. Same can happen with PlayStation

What if that rumour of the last of us remaster is all about a iPad version? I mean with rumors anything is possible

I think they'll have their own store launcher there with PSN account. If Sony succeeds well in the mobile side you can even go as far as expecting Sony to drop online paywall on PS consoles. If they can port enough PSP/PS Vita games there then that'll be crazy! I can see the games being sold at $1-10 max with many F2P games though, MTX is no brainer but should be added smartly like Fortnite and the rest. People when they love the game would happily spend on cosmetics to stand out for MP.
TLOU1 on every iPhone after watching the series? Can't go wrong. They can push the graphics to a more cartoonish/flat looking though to preserve performance and still look good.

No, I don't want to play GoW on any mobile device
PSV's fate already proved Sony's game doesn't fit in mobile devices.

It's all about execution, and Jim is still unproven.
