Hack brings PS4 streaming to Android Phones

Remote Play, the Android-exclusive feature that allows owners of Sony’s PS4 owners to stream footage from their games directly to their smartphone is no longer exclusive to Sony’s smartphones. At least, it isn’t for owners of other Android devices. Thanks to an enterprising member of the enthusiasts community, practically any Android users can pair their smartphone with a controller and their PS4 using Remote Play.

iirc, this isn't news and the actual app (for PS4 remote-play) isn't yet on the Playstation App. This will be on a future update to the app.

joeorc4233d ago

And again Sony was not going to only have xperia only devices to have this app! I do not know why some insist on claiming that because Andrew house already stated it was xperia devices first than other non playstation devices. Xda developers are known to release apks that test its functionality before a company's ready to release the full apk release. This was not a hack! This was running a apk side load' and many times its to test non and completely rooted android devices and since Sony mobile has official release instructions to root your device for anyone that wanted to do so right on the xperia website. Its not a hack !

Mr Pumblechook4233d ago (Edited 4233d ago )

@joeorc. Sorry, my friend but I have to correct you.
When Andrew House was talking about bringing it to other non-Sony platforms, he was speaking about the game streaming service called PlayStation Now.

The Sony run Xperia YouTube channel has repeatedly answered questions to say that PS4 streaming would be on Sony Xperia phones only. Of course this is subject to change but for now that's there plan.

joeorc4233d ago (Edited 4233d ago )

Its really going to non xperia only devices, see the development for remote play is also going through the playstation app.

http://www.sony.com/SCA/com...

Trust me in this I know it is.

They talked about this on the development Time line projections remote play past 2nd screen devices are a way off still because of many things but already through the 2nd screen functionality you can already do quite a bit with the App already. Its not just playstation Now only remote play is also being developed.
And of course they are concentrating on xperia platform 1st its about getting playstation "mobile games" into more hands but Sony products 1st

MASTER_RAIDEN4233d ago

I feel like it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. Android isn't the most secure platform to be promising content exclusive to one manufacturer. I mean you can seriously get touchwiz or htc's overlay running on anything out there.

Now if I could just get an app to pair my ds4 with my nexus 5....

16bitNutritionist4233d ago

The six axis app does that doesn't it? Might need be rooted though not sure.

MASTER_RAIDEN4233d ago

Nope. The dualshock 4 isnt compatable w the sixaxis app. Super disappointing because I was sure that ds4 support would be ready as soon as it came out.

The usb converter worked really well with my nexus back when I used to use it, but I think it needs to be said that back in July, my phones battery exploded- this was during the time I used the converter on a regular basis. Not necessarily blaming the converter itself, just worth mentioning is all.

16bitNutritionist4233d ago

Oops maybe I need to stop using the USB convertor I have. Don't really fancy the battery on my phone blowing up haha. Come to think of it I do notice my nexus 7 getting extremely hot after using it.

MASTER_RAIDEN4233d ago

Not to freak you out or anything but I think the heat coming from the phone is a dead giveaway. My nexus 5 also became unusually hot before it broke.
I am going to mention that I don't only use my OEM LG charger though. That COULD have been a factor in the phone melting down, but it just doesnt add up. Droid chargers are a dime a dozen and even some of the cheapest ones work like a charm for me. I've used the exact same chargers with 2 other phones now and have no issues. The only thing I stopped using is that sketchy USB adapter thing.

What I'm trying to say is that i don't know it was the adapter for a fact- but I have a reeeeeaaally strong feeling that its the culprit behind it all. Damm phone could have set fire to my house.
In any event id be pretty cautious if you've already noticed your phone getting hot. That obviously means the insides of your N7 have been agitated by the adapter. I'm not kidding around when i say you should REALLY think about calling google to see what they can do about repairing or replacing your unit.
That heavy smoke and smell of burning plastic coming out of my charger port at my work desk was honestly one of the scariest things ever.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot17d 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…

HectixRose18d 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.

JEECE18d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername17d 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.

Soy18d ago

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

DarXyde18d 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.

Ashunderfire8618d 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.

Ashunderfire8618d ago (Edited 18d 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.

pwnmaster300018d 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.

solideagle18d 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

Relientk7718d ago

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