How to use your PS Vita as a second PS4 controller

Maybe you’re picking up a PlayStation 4 today or you already have one, and one of the games you happen to pick up supports 2 player’s on screen at the same time. Maybe you don’t have a second controller, but your buddy, wife, girlfriend, dog, brother or sister wants to get in on some two-player action. If you have a Vita, you’re sorted.

Now if only the PS Vita actually had some games it would become a truly useful device

iamnsuperman4550d ago

I actually does. Media Molecule seem to be holding up the device with LBP (arguable the best version) and tearaway. Gravity Rush and sound shapes (I know the latter appears on the PS3 but for level design it is far easier on the Vita due to its touch screen). Killzone isn't a bad shooter either (for a handheld it is pretty good). The point is their are hidden gems.

I say there are 4 must have play before you die games and lots of good games on top of that

ElleGee4550d ago

You forget Lumines. Everybody always forgets Lumines.

DOMination-4550d ago

Media Molecule didn't make LBPvita

iamnsuperman4550d ago

@DOmination

You are absolutely right. I forgot the passed on the franchise to someone else. They did a good job

AHall884550d ago

What about Persona 4 Golden? Along with PSone Classics and a handful of excellent PSP games for it.

paul-p19884550d ago

Velocity Ultra, Rayman Legends, Everybody's Golf World Tour, Modnation Racers, God Eater 2, Toukiden, Blazblue, not to mention all the PSP/PS1 games i have on my memory sticks. I play my Vita more than i play my PS3, and it has stopped me playing those rubbish casual games on my phone lol.

If anything Vita has a lot more games than certain people would like to believe!

NukaCola4550d ago

Tearaway
Soul Sacrifice
Uncharted
Assassin's Creed Liberation
Need for Speed
Batman Arkham Blackgate
Guacamelee
LittleBigPlanet
Walking Dead
Hotline Miami

PS4 Remote Play
Party Chats
Netflix
Crunchyroll
Hulu

The Vita is a great device. I love it just as much as the 3DS. Both have great games.

DarKnightDave4550d ago

I'm really digging Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate. It's not the same as the console version, more like the old Metroid games. Killzone Mercenary is really good too.

Have you tried looking for psvita games? Or are you a member of the 'vita haz no gamezzzzz' gang?

C-H-E-F4550d ago

I'M TIRED OF THIS HAS NO GAMES CRAP..... Dude, go to gamestop and use the demo ps vita. There's TONS of great games on the vita. They have games of all genres on there. So to say it has no games is 100% ignorant. I will welcome you with a disagree and -1 for trolling.

On topic, to be disrespectful when I play my friends on the ps4. I don't play with the DS4 I play with the vita. I tell them they aren't worthy of me playing with the DS4. They really hate that, especially when i'm streaming to the vita at 30fps playing games like nba 2k14 that is 60fps on the ps4 itself. So yeah it makes the rivalries all the better. Haven't lost yet actually.

Bell Boy4550d ago

You may go into a store and not see many games on shelves but the ps store is fully loaded with quality content. That's why my 32gb card is full and I am praying Sony get those 64's to US quick smart.

Many multi plats such as rayman series have arguably the finest version on vita.

But hey you spew your lies all day buddy

Nail134550d ago

I <3 Soul Sacrifice so much, am planning/waiting to get VitaTV and Vita light. Then buying 3 copies of Soul Sacrifice Delta when that comes.

kingPoS4550d ago

Go to the Playstation store https://store.sonyentertain... and tell the Vita has no games.

The Vita is no one's Atari Jaguar.

@Lazy - What games should it have ?

ElleGee4550d ago

That's pretty cool, actually. Cool even if you have two controllers, and somehow have a 3 player game.

moonstormer4550d ago

that's one expensive second controller

GavinMannion4550d ago

ah but you can also use it to... use as a second screen and browse the Interwebs

moonstormer4550d ago

that's why i have a tablet - still don't see the point of a vita. and yet i want one. hope they bundle it with the PS4 soon

arkard4550d ago

Can't use your tablet to play ps4 games anywhere with wifi.

mikeslemonade4550d ago

Well since I have the Vita already and too cheap to get a second controller then this would work. But there's latency and using the rear-touch in place of the shoulder buttons is not gonna work. It should be fine with simplistic games.

Stsonic4550d ago (Edited 4550d ago )

good feature but all sound is past to the vita which is annoying.

CyrusLemont4550d ago

If you're using it as a second controller, you can change that in the PS4 settings by holding down the PS button and adjusting the playback options. It's good to be able to stream audio to the device and being able to adjust it rather than no audio being streamed whatsoever. Plus you can plug headphones into the vita and play somewhere else in the house or in public if you wanted to.

SilentSolid4550d ago

recently bought Rainbow moon and terraria for psvita. no games? hahahah!

Cacabunga30d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot29d 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…

HectixRose30d 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.

JEECE30d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername29d 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.

Soy30d ago

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

DarXyde30d 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.

Ashunderfire8630d 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.

Ashunderfire8630d ago (Edited 30d 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.

pwnmaster300030d 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.

solideagle30d 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

Relientk7730d ago

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