PlayStation's Remote Play is coming to Windows PC and Mac.

"PC Gaming" taken to the next level.

Oh great! I can play PS games on a PC where half of the games are also available on both either way.... -_-

 

Seriously, why? You probably need a good PC anyway, and if so just get the darn games on Steam'

"half"So... for the other 50%, then?

[Hero of Light XIV 2,381]

Sweet! Maybe now I can play Steam games with my controller of choice! X3

[Clouded Sun 1,232]

Hate to be a pessimist, but this idea is pretty dumb. Thanks Sony for helping make my PS Vita even MORE obsolete. Totally justified a $200 handheld purchase.

Why not play it on your PS4? It's right in the living room. Wonder if even 50% of the games on PS4/Xbox One are actually unavailable on PC anyway.

OR you can hook up your PS4 controller to your PC, connect it by bluetooth, and then play your Steam games.

For the same reason that they have it on the Vita; portability. Heck, it's probably BETTER on the PC because the internet connection is more stable, and you can tweak things like graphics and stuff. And I have no idea about 50%; that was the number you threw out, so I ran with it.It's not like this is the be-all end-all of gaming applications, but enough people have probably asked for it to make them consider it a thing, and since Sony bases its culture (if not necessarily its profits) around the exclusives it has, it's a worthwhile endeavor.Mostly sounds like you're a bit bitter about them not supporting the Vita =P. Which is a shame; it might not get a lot of love from Sony, but it's still a solid device with a lot of good games around.

HAHAHAHAHAA, MY PS4 controller, THAT'S a good one! Because I totally have $400 on me right now.

I'm definitely gonna be making use of this, question now though is when it will actually be available

Oh wow, never knew they sold 'em separately.

Sure you can tweak graphics n' stuff, but I'm very sure there's gonna be a min requirement that average PCs won't cut. You make a good point about portability, though. If Sony does make this Remote Play accessible to a wide variety of common PCs and laptops, MAYBE it'll work, but it's probably not a worthwhile investment for the end-user unless they already have a PS4... I guess.And yeah, I'm very bitter about the whole "let's ditch the Vita and waste people's money" business approach that Sony did after hyping the heck out of the "portable with the power of a console". Remote Play was the last thing I held hope for, since a lot of big third party AAAs like SE, SEGA, and others never gave it the light of day for some good exclusives (even Gravity Rush and Gravity Rush 2 are being made PS4 games). But if this Remote Play PC crud is successful, not to mention that Remote Play on Vita is already crap, it'll just give me a reason to throw it in the trash,

Maybe in Japan, but with a cancelled release of FFAgito and no Dissidia in sight, I've given up hope. Enlighten me, what exclusives does SE have in store for Vita? Edited November 28, 2015 by Sun Wukong

Agito got terminated and they had issues. There's a massive difference. There won't be a Dissidia since it'll be for PS4.

 

Square Enix has the following games already available on PlayStation Vita:

 

Army Corps of Hell

Lord of Apocalypse

Diffusion Million Arthur

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster

Rise of Mana

WRC 4 FIA World Rally Championship (Publisher)

The Walking Dead (Publisher)

Chaos Rings III

Chaos Rings

Chaos Rings II

Chaos Rings Omega

Deadman's Cross

 

And it has the following games on the way:

 

Final Fantasy Adventure

Dragon Quest Builders

Setsuna

World of Final Fantasy

Moon Hunters (Publisher)

SaGa Scarlet Grace

Dragon Quest Heroes II

 

In addition, Square Enix has made all of their PSOne Classics and all but one of their digital PSP games compatible with PlayStation Vita. And Square Enix has also been keen on remote-play for their PS4 titles such as FFXIV, even having an FFXIV themed PS Vita. They also have a DQ themed Vita on the way.

I'm referring to how I don't have the money for a PS4, and I find no point in trying to get a PS4 controller separately when what I want more is a console. That said, when it comes to using a controller on Steam, I'd much rather use something I ALREADY own.
