PS4 Remote Play Fix

Pete Dodd "So the PS4 launch has had its fair share of problems so far this weekend and thankfully I’ve avoided most of them.  I have, however, had trouble with remote play. This problem doesn’t seem particularly wide-spread but there are a couple of people in my twitter feed that have the issue as well and after some tinkering and brainstorming I think I finally found the culprit."

Remote play works great! I just discovered that you can run the VUDU app through remote play. I can now watch all of my Ultra Violet movies on my Vita!!

Edit: Hulu Plus works as well. It says it's blocked at first, but if you let it run it will work!!

I been using remote play and it works perfectly. I have a Wii U and it has way better range that the Wii U controller. I can't even use the Wii U controller upstairs but can take the PS Vita anywhere in the house with remote play.

Baylex4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

Nice!! Its good to know that! Thanks for the info. Bubble Up to you sir!

MasterChief36244547d ago

Considering Remote Play is not a necessary feature in games or apps, don't let Vudu know about this, or they will definitely remove it :(

Sniperwithacause4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

I know I'm nit picking, but the one thing that I need to get use to is playing ghost on my 51 inch down to the vita screen. So hard to see the enemies.

MatrixxGT4547d ago

The screen actually looks really nice. Way beret than any of these videos. However its the analog sticks that have me on a learning curve. Im playing BF4 tho.

dcj05244547d ago

I play Killzone Mercanary frequentlyon the vita so aiming is easy for me. Practice make perfect. Just go to the test range and practice aiming.

0ut1awed4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

^^
I also played the crap out of KZ Mercenary. I platinumed the game.

Still it's pretty hard for me to play games like BF4 via remote play, especially competitively.

I've been more of a PC gamer these past few years so playing FPS games on analog sticks in general kind of drive me crazy anyways. :P

SonyStyled4547d ago

when i first got my vita i noticed it had a different joystick feel but you get used to it and adapt to it. sometimes i find myself slightly needing to re-adapt to the dualshock 3 :P

tubers4547d ago

It's also the screen resolution.

Your losing pixels from 1080p (Full HD) to 544p (quarter HD) final render on VITA's screen. Distant enemies can be harder to discern.

The tiny screen doesn't really help either specially if your eyes aren't used to the proximity.

Prime1574547d ago

True. But I've used the feature quite a lot. I really like the feature, but for only certain games... And non competitive. I finished contrast purely via remote play, as an example.

_FantasmA_4547d ago

I actually lost my HDMI signal after I tried remote play. I was doing remote play but I decided to turn off my TV and just use my Vita. But couldn't get the signal back on my TV after I turned it back on. I though my PS4 was gone, but I switched out the HDMI cable and I'm scared to try remote play again or even trying my PS4 on another TV.

Xer0_SiN4547d ago

ilove remote play! i couldnt really get it to work on my ps3, but with the ps4 it works flawless. i womder if i set up a pseye if i could get remote surveillance >=).

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot1d 2h ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose2d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE2d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername1d 9h ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy2d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde1d 20h ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire861d 18h ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire861d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster30002d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle1d 23h ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk771d 21h ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
