This is cool, makes me wish Sony did more with the Remote Play feature.

WildArmed5895d ago

They could have easily taken Remote play to a new level with being able to ps3 games on the psp via remote play.
And for the 2nd joystick, they could always introduce a accesory or just a way to plug a controller into ur psp.

Actually if they did that, Sony PSP wouldn't be dead as it is atm.

... I'm sorry, PSP. I still wuvs you *hugs*

I hope we eventually can x-gam MP no matter what console.
That would be the day that all gamers win.

mistajeff5895d ago

Yeah, it would've been awesome. Though this is different in that it seems this game is running on the hardware of each device.. im guessing it just records saves with a steamcloud-ish service. Still, it's another small step in the direction of being able to play home console games remotely, which is a pretty amazing concept.

dexus5894d ago

Remote play trasnfers just video, it is not cross platform gaming.
And it does it poorly, because if you want to send the vid. you have to downscale it. That takes a lot of CPU power.

remote play = good idea, but not now. Maybe in 10 years

ThanatosDMC5894d ago (Edited 5894d ago )

You can play some select games via Remote Play like Pixel Junk Monsters.

I want Sony to announce PSP2 all ready or have somebody leak it.

StanLee5894d ago

Wow, an article about a new feature being introduced by Microsoft becomes a conversation about Sony's failings. All these comments should be reported as off-topic!

ryuzu5894d ago (Edited 5894d ago )

Dubai eh? So now your games can be banned on 3 platforms simultaneously lolz

Anyway, what is it with MS and old stuff? I mean, this is hardly a new thing - it's been done (and found to be a little meh) before on multiple occasions. In fact even this example is pretty poor...

MS need to try and solidify their position in the market with some GAMES - leave the gimmicks for later.

Cross platform between the PSP and PS3 on PS1 titles.

capnjoe2175894d ago

Actually it was Nintendo that did it first. Remember Super Gameboy?

darkmurder5894d ago

This phone OS is gonna kick ass

Erotic Sheep5894d ago

Lair is playable through remote play

jjohan355894d ago

The nice thing about playing consoles is that the person I'm playing against online is 90% of the time using the same controller as I am, not a keyboard & mouse. It's an unfair disadvantage to 360 gamers if they're playing an online shooter against a point & click PC gamer. I have no problems with keyboard & mouse, but it needs to stay in the PC realm where the ground is even.

DeadlyFire5894d ago

That is all. Sony has patented a cloud titled PS Cloud. So its possible same is in the works for them as well.

2cents5894d ago

im impressed. Im eager to find out if the Windows 7 Series Mobile device is destined to receive the title of "iphone killer" or will we need another mobile company to bring the bacon. Interesting times ahead.

JonnyBadfinger5894d ago

Has everyone forgotten Shadowrun?... Im not surprised. the game was flawed.

Back in 2007 ShadowRun was on both PC and XB360 with cross platform play written on the front cover of the game box. it was obviously because the developers who made the game didnt believe the game would sell at all so they thought combine PC gamers and XB360 gamers to make up the numbers... sadly that still didnt work. Sometimes it took about 20mins to find a game, and when you finally found 1 the lag would break your balls.

I wanna see the day when XBLIVE and PSN merge and then we'll have PS3 PC and XB360 gamers all battling over the gamer crown. PC will probably win with all there mods but, still would be interesting.

It's time for u Sony to copy like always.

OmarJA-N4G5894d ago

HAHAHAHAHA! ONLY ONE BUBBLE!

math5894d ago

No excuses not to be gaming anymore!

DelbertGrady5894d ago

I really liked the feature that saves the game state(what level you are on) from one platform to the other.

2cents5894d ago

not sure my wife will be so thrilled!

R3DD5894d ago

All that needs to be done is universal console gaming. Ps3s gamers vs 360 gamers. maybe Wii users too but i doubt it.

duplicates constantly get approved? We need stricter requirements for contributors.

Assassin’s Creed 1 Remake Reportedly in Development

A credible insider claims an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake has been in development at Ubisoft for quite a few years.

Goodguy019h ago

Hope so. I believe this game deserves it the most and will definitely need a lot to overhaul compared to black flag. It's really hard for me to play this game again lol

Cacabunga3h ago

The most repetitive and boring ass game I have ever played. I wont get it even for free.. I had nightmares of this game it was utter garbage.

PRIMORDUS3h ago

The company is called Ubishit for a reason 😂

Relientk778h ago

If any Assassin's Creed game needs a remake its the first one. I just think the original didnt age as well as the others and could use improvements

Lionsguard4h ago

This was one of my most hyped games back in the day only to be let down so damn bad. AC2 made up for it but yes, this is one game that doesn't just deserve a remake, it needs to be stripped down to the bare parts and completely rebuilt from the ground up because it's problems were basic and fundamental and if those things aren't fixed, no fresh coat of paint is going to fix it.

Alek838h ago

Good. They should remake all the Altair games. Him and Ezio are very well written and executed.

Inverno8h ago

We've lost the argument in favour of games being art at this point. Maybe a remaster, some touch ups, fixes, a rerelease for modern consoles, bringing attention to the game that started it all, some appreciation. Nah just another remake. I've said this about AC4 and I'll say it for this too. Why not just go back to Altair's era and make a new game centered around him or the changes he made to the order after the events of the first game with a new protag?

ravens524h ago

Finally. Bring back Desmond and finish his story. 🤦🏾 Yall fcked up massively killing him and that future story.
