 This is Ross Miller with The Verge, and this is Remote Play for the PlayStation 4, which allows you to stream and play full games from your console to a PS Vita. Remote Play isn't an entirely new concept and has been around in some way, shape, or form since the PS3 days, but until now it's only worked with a limited number of games. With the PlayStation 4, Remote Play is supported on the system level for nearly every game that doesn't require a PlayStation camera. For the launch titles we tried, that's pretty much everything except Just Dance. Oh, and Netflix doesn't work either. Setup is easy and will connect either locally or via internet connection when you're too far away. The Vita will now mirror your PlayStation 4 screen, menu, system, and all. The controls are basically what you'd expect, with the DualShock 4's touchpad mapped to the Vita's touch screen, and with L2, L3, R2, and R3 mapped to the four corners of the rear touchpad. That was kind of weird. For Killzone that proved difficult to trigger, while for Need for Speed it actually proved far too easy to get the sirens blazing. In the same room, Remote Play is actually quite responsive, but lag becomes a little more noticeable the farther you get. For some games, it won't really matter. For Twitcher titles, however, those extra milliseconds could get very frustrating. And even some technically compatible games won't work because, well, it's really tiny text on a 5-inch screen. The best thing we can say about PlayStation 4 Remote Play is that it just works. And under the right conditions, it works surprisingly well. But the biggest hurdle for many people might be the Vita itself. The $200 portable can be a hard sell, but even as a luxury accessory for the PlayStation 4, it's kind of nice to play a next-gen title while at the same time freeing up your living room TV. It's been literally only a few hours since Sony activated the PlayStation Network, and we're just diving into the PlayStation 4. We'll have much more to say in a full review very soon.
