    In the current/previous generation, I went with the 360, so I have never been able to use my Vita for remote play. Now, I am thinking about getting a cheap used PS3, so I can play NHL, NCAA Football and GTA 5 on my Vita (Damn, this would have been easier if EA and Rockstar would have just made a Vita version of them!)[there are not really any games that excite me enough to buy a PS4]. I just have some noob questions about remote play (with the PS3 especially) - I apologize if these have been asked a hundred times before:

    1) Do you have to keep the PS3 on all the time to use remote play?
    2) Can you use the remote play while somebody is watching a tv show on the tv?
    3) How is the remote play of NHL, NCAA Football and GTA 5?

    Thanks much!
    To answer your third question: there's only a few Ps3 games that you can remote play. Ps1 classics, GOW 1,2. Ico, Tokyo Jungle...that's about it.
    NCAA >>> Madden

      Crap, so my plan won't work anyway. No remote play for NHL, NCAA Football or GTA 5. I guess my Plan B will be to wait and buy the PS4 when NHL 15 comes out next year (though that won't help for NCAA or GTA).

          Yeah, custom firmware on your PS3 can allow some more streaming, but it's not a flawless thing and is otherwise not well supported for whatever reason. It's not as turnkey of a solution the way it is in the PS4.

            Thanks guys, I appreciate the help! Not quite the answers I hoped for, but I am glad now I know what my options are.

              How are Battlefield, Killzone, and COD with Vita.

              Is the small screen too tough to play on (and aim on)?
              Is the movement too clunky (due to smaller pads) or too laggy for that?

              AC is ok with it? Pretty similar experience to on main tv?

              Oh, my bedroom is less than 50 ft from router, but has a wall between the two....in theory I should be able to use remote play, right? How's the performance in a room away from living room?

              Thanks for the input....If good enough this feature could be a system seller for me. Also planning for the future when Vita TV is released...could be a great way to get PS4 all over the house (in bedroom or other room without moving system).

                If it helps, I played COD: Declassified for Vita (until my damn game broke) and I now play KillZone: Mercenary for Vita. No problems whatsoever as far as the screen size goes.

                I don't know about the lag though.

                  I ordered these grips with hopes that it'll make it easier to press the backplate quadrants during remote play.

                    Or easier to avoid.

                    I remember playing LittleBigPlanet and my finger was accidentally hitting the back multiple times (the green circle would pop up). It didn't affect anything then, but in a game like an FPS I would be throwing grenades left and right.

                      This might have been the worst week all year to release Tearaway.

                        Seriously. I've seen so many good things about it... but I just can't justify a purchase of it at this point in time. I just feel like there's so many other things going on that this wouldn't get any play at the moment.

                          When using remote play, does the game have to be in the ps4 or can you play any game saved to your hard drive?

                            It's literally a mirror of your PS4 UI, if you own a game digitally you can play it at any time, otherwise you start a game like any other - your plastic drm has to be sitting in the drive.

                              Yeah, with the Xbox One launch, plus the PS4 having launched just a week ago, a handheld title like this can easily get lost in the shuffle, even if it is receiving good reviews.

                              Nintendo, on the other hand, can get away with releasing a game like Zelda or Mario around this time and not be affected by what the competition is doing.

                                Or in this case, Zelda AND Mario on the same day (albeit on two different systems).
