Playstation 4

I prefer the PS Allstars combat to SSB. My problem with PSASBR was the character roster... too many "classic" characters and a few modern characters were missing. Fortunately, that's something that could be corrected for a sequel.

In news: Sony is pushing for all non-motion control games to work with the Vita via remote play, awesome.

Yeah, that to me is a system-selling feature.  I fucking love being able to do that with the Wii U.

 

I wish somebody would hack a way to get your PC to recognize the Wii U tablet as a monitor/controller.  Splashtop is nice for remote PC gaming, but there's too much lag to use it for anything that requires any kind of fast response.

Remote play, as it currently works, means nothing to me. I live alone right now, but when I move in with my girlfriend we'll have two TVs and countless other entertainment screens. I'm surprised at the number of adults who have a single TV and want to stream games to their handheld devices.

 

Now, if the stream were reliable outside of a local network, I'd be mighty interested. Too bad that's not gonna happen any time soon.

Who says it's a matter of a single TV? You might want to play on the couch next to someone just so you can hang out with them, or in bed, or anywhere else you wouldn't want to sit down in front of a TV.

So now that remote play is confirmed for two consoles, I'm wondering which one people prefer. What's better to you?

 

On one hand we have the Wii U, where the cost is built right into the console but if the controller breaks you have to pay 150 dollars to replace it if you want to keep playing Wii U games.

 

On the other hand we have the PS4, where you have to pay 250 dollars for a separate handheld but it has a better touch screen and if it breaks you can still play PS4 games without it just fine.

hopefully with two consoles supporting a "tablet controller" we will get some decent ideas for it not  just map/inventory stuff.

 

I suppose on a hypothetical level Sony's approach is better - you have an independent device, not just a slave unit and the option of whether or not you want the extra expense. In reality I guess it means that it will not have full use made of it. Having said that I can't imagine the Wii U pad will have that many killer uses even with guaranteed 100% buy-in.

It is my understanding that this is for remote play and not for enhancing PS4 games.

I thought we were talking hypotheticals... we know both support remote play so I don't get what's to discuss on that front? other that the built in versus optional cost which I did mention.
