No it's not. It could have been done. The X1 could do it.
What can you remote play the Xb1 on? There was a video out showing somebody on an Xb1 playing Rise and going back to the dashboard and the gams suffered from visible slowdown

probably because you'd need a long ass cord considering the big screens people have today. Sitting up close probably isn't the best thing to do.


Bruh, I HAVE A VITA. NO YOU CANNOT. IT DOESN'T SUPPORT DS3.

You are not paying attention. YOUR PS3 ALREADY SUPPORTS MOST VITA GAMES. Therefore you can already play "vita games" on your tv with the ds3.

Also EVERY single vita game announced recently is also coming to ps4. Therefore you can already play those games on your tv with a ds4.

Any game that doesn't fall into these two categories uses the unique vita harware, so you still wouldn't be able to play them on your tv or they would have to be changed drastically.

There will be input lag, how much is the question. And how will other people using your home network effect it.

Very true.

Thankfully no one in my house other than me uses anything with lots of bandwidth (granted online gaming and remote play doesn't use nearly as much bandwidth as people think, especially locally).

I don't think the input lag will be bad though. If they release a product with shytty input lag touting it as one of the best features of this and PS4 remote play..... :snoop:

No the games don't suffer any slowdown nor do the apps.

No you can't bruh, I tried...PLENTY of Vita games. It's the other way around (playing ps3 games on Vita) and those are VERY limited.

Which vita games are you excited about playing on your tv?

All of em. :manny:

Still will probably have to use the actual Vita as a "controller" due to the touchscreen. It's critical in games like KZ mercenary for the melee kills and interrogation. (shyt is dope as fukk if you got a Vita).

Who gives a fukk about Vita, cancel that abomination and make some AAA's.

Looks like I'm gonna have to be the voice of the real world on here since it's nothing but stans crying about the others imperfections.

Nintendo has proven you can do second screen gaming with less input lag than your HDTV has.

Different technology. The wii u gamepad connects directly to the wii u, it doesnt use your home network, and the signal doesn't have to pass through an extra device, or a TV. This is what I mean when I said Sony should have doubled down on the vita/ps4 integration it would have been better. They should have used tech similar to the wii u.

And with all that said, plenty of wii u owners have complained about input lag.

This shyt only impresses the most ardent of fanboys. To regular everyday consumers it will be confusing as fukk.

It's supposed to compete with Apple TV, Roku, cheap media streaming boxes, android consoles, & etc.. I don't see why that's hard to understand.

The Vita is a GREAT device to play games on. I am just not sure why Sony is not forcing double down development of PS3 games on to it since its basically a mini PS3 in your pocket.

That whole streaming games to another room is a niche market...most people don't care about that. All that smartglass, Wii U, Vita TV, and all that other nonsense is only good in a limited number of situations.
