Matt, we will know more once this month's NPD hits around mid December.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

The remote play is cool but it is not possible to mimic the PS4 controller with this thing. Trying to play NBA2k14 is damn near impossible. Just a waste.

Because of the rear touchpad?

Yeah, I seriously hope they find something to address this. I know games won't go as far as patching in "Vita" control schemes, but damn there needs to be some kind of patch.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I was thinking of trying to 3d print a bracket for more precise guidance if not outright buttons for the backplate. Doubt I'll ever follow through with doing it, but it's my next attempt to make this a better experience.

Allowing us to remap buttons and make our own concessions with the controls would go a long way.

That was my fear with remote play. Good concept but without a way to modify the controls, sports games are near-impossible to play.

Yep, with my index fingers on the triggers there is no way for my middle fingers to hit the top of the rear touchpad at all.

I had the same idea. I was going to do mechanical triggers and buy some wacom nubs for the touch pad contacts. I don't yet know how the Vita works like that though, and I'm not even sure I want to go through the expense.

I don't have much trouble hitting the rear touchpad with my index fingers on the triggers, I just need some type of grips as my grip on the Vita is a little loose when I do that. I'm thinking this one maybe, plus the frame around the touch pad would make it easier to tell when I am touching the pad.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

This just give them a reason to release a re-designed vita

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

I guess I'm in the minority here. I have absolutely no issues playing 2K14 on the Vita. In fact, I have no choice since my TV is in use most of the time. However, I shoukd mention that I use the trigger grip http://www.ps3blog.net/2012/03/26/ac...grip-for-vita/

I use the same grips. I haven't had too much trouble remote playing but there is a slight learning curve. I kind of had to rethink the way I held my Vita, and kind of 'roll' my middle finger down that incline to touch L2/R2.

With that said I have thought about modelling up and doing a 3D print of a trigger grip that uses a capacitance tip as a mechanical trigger.

I haven't tried any other ones, but I bought those day one and hated them. Gave them a second chance and re-bought them thinking a different set of games would make it better (after reading people who liked it on OS), and still didn't like them.

For R2/L2 functionality with Remote Play though, these might be necessary. I still want to try some other grips around the stores and see what is most suitable though.

By the way, people say you can directly link the Vita with the PS4 via a cable. Is that with the cable that comes with the Vita? If so, that's incredibly short (no more than three feet, I'm guessing). Are there longer ones out there?

I bet the add-on companies will make one that has triggers and stuff...wouldn't surprise me.

But seriously, you should just need an ordinary USB extension cable, they are cheap.

Re: Sony PSVITA Discussion

The vita cable is a usb on the back end so I don't know what people are talking about using the ps controller. It might be possible but you'd need the right cable to link it to the vita cable.

Using the remote play is pretty sweet and convenient. . Making something with an r2 l2 button shouldn't be hard
