Open Remote Play v1.0 BETA-MAC Released (Control your PS3 via iPhone/PC/Laptop/PDA)

The hacker named "Dashhacker" promised one week ago that he would release a tool to control your PS3 through the PC, laptop, or iPhone, and he has promised and delivered. We can now use his Open Remote Play program to browse our PS3 via almost any device. Currently requires a Mac and PSP (Windows version next week).

Very cool. And the Mac version first? Icing on the cake baby....

Microsoft Xbox 3606238d ago

Amazing. I'm gonna boot my Mac right now.

forumcudude6238d ago (Edited 6238d ago )

I dont understand why is this amazing! Whats the point of if we cant Remote Play MGS4 in PC or Mac right away? Or can we?

anh_duong6238d ago

i suppose we can access our whole music, video and blu-ray disc remotely. we can also use playtv remotely to watch recorded movies or time new recordings. we can play some psn games and ps1 games.

not sure if i use it but nice to have.

vicheous6238d ago

I can already use my phone to control my PS3!
Dam i love my Sony Ericsson Experia X1i
Flashed and modded to the teeth...

Can even use it to look up my trophy cards live with a "Xperia PSN Panel"

Would be cool to get this app for Windows mobile to! So i can test it with the Xperia! Or i'll flash it(the Experia) to a Iphone just to test it!

Menchi6238d ago

I don't get the point? If you need a PSP to enable it then why not just do it over your PSP?

Everything you can do via this way, can be done via the PSP, and I'm sure it's probably more stable via the PSP too...

Just seems like a waste of time

Microsoft Xbox 3606238d ago (Edited 6238d ago )

Please don't say its a waste of time. Some people like me take advantage of the Remote Play very much. Now that it seems to work with the PC instead of a PSP, this is great news to me.

-I can play High Stakes Poker (PSN game) and other selected RP enabled games. High Stakes Poker is one of my favorite games on PSN.
-I can see who's in my room/living room with my PS Eye attached to my PS3 by entering the chat room
-I can participate in a chat with my friends who are on their PS3
-I can stream pictures, music, and videos FROM my PS3
-I can play PS1 games (not that I care though)
-I can check massages
etc........

All this accessible on a PC/Mac and more devices to come.

I find those features very useful. You continue hating, while I'll be enjoying this app.

Menchi6238d ago (Edited 6238d ago )

According to the article, you need a PSP to enable this feature for use by PC/Mac or what have you anyway, so really, I just don't understand why you wouldn't just use your PSP.

Everything you listed is possible with the same PSP you'd -have- to use to enable this anyway.

It just seems like a way to avoid using the PSP to do it, when it seems the PSP would be the better choice to use it anyway.

Also, I'm not hating. I own a PS3 and PSP. I use Remote Play a lot. It's exactly why I can't understand why someone would use a PC over -their- PSP to remote play.

If it could be enabled -without- a PSP, then I'd see the merit in it, but as it stands, it's more of a gimmick than anything.

anh_duong6238d ago

U can borrow a psp if you don t have one

uie4rhig6238d ago

it's always cool to be able to do more.. now you can use ur pc while someone else plays a psp game... i mean why not? every feature is a plus, whether you use it or not..

Microsoft Xbox 3606238d ago (Edited 6238d ago )

Okay let me rephrase this. What if I don't like the small screen PSP as my Remote Play device? Better? Is it hard to grasp the idea of using this app as an alternative instead of bringing a PSP around with me. Lets say for example, I'm at work in front of my computer, I could easily connect to my PS3 and do as mentioned from any computer.

And like anh_duong said, this would a great app for those who has access to a PSP to complete the initial setup.

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.

solideagle39d 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

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

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde45d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy46d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7747d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga47d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199246d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga46d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman46d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger46d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box47d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion46d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7247d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7547d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit46d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14947d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7747d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
