PS4 Remote Play to Mac/PC

[defininggrace]

Today's PS4 system update allows remote play to Mac/PC. While I am out of the house and haven't tried it yet, I am interested to see if/how it will work with The Show. So much of this game is timing, and lags would make it hard if not impossible to play the actual games.

At the very least, perhaps I can pour over rosters, stats, scouting, trades, etc. when the TV isn't available...

I played a little this morning and it seemed to play pretty well... Until everyone else in the house started sucking the wifi dry. Now that could just be my situation but it seemed to play pretty well, obviously not as good, but sufficient for when the spouse steals the tv.

Did you play on the default 540p or did you try it on 720? I tried 720p/60fps and it was too laggy to hit. I'll have to give it a whirl again on a lower setting and see how it plays...

Wait, what?? Remote play? So when my kids are camped in front of the TV watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Sesame Street, I can just turn on my PS4 and use my PC to at least edit rosters, and such? That is cool, even if the lag doesn't allow actual playing of the game. I'll have to try that tonight.

I've been using the third party app at 720p and it runs just fine. Depends on your connection, uses a ton of bandwidth.

Do you have to have the Vita for this? If not, are there instructions anywhere on how to set this up??

Thanks!

I used it alot last year on the vita. I play it in bed when my wife goes to sleep. Pretty smooth and I don't have any issues pitching or hitting.

Re: PS4 Remote Play to Mac/PC

No, you don't need a Vita (unless you're remote playing on the Vita). To remote play on PC/Mac you just need the Remote Play software installed. You also need a usb cable to connect your PS4 controller to the PC/Mac.

I can't post links yet (not enough posts) but you can find the link for the software and instructions by googling it or by going to the Playstation Blog.

It works pretty well for me, though as stated already, it does use a ton of bandwidth. I have a fairly high-end dual-band AC router, and it plays fine over Wi-Fi for me at 720p and the "high" framerate setting.

Thanks! Found it. Unforunately, you need Windows 8 or 10.. BOOO!

I've been using a ported Remote Play application on my phone for a while now, it's a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. You can use on screen controls, or connect the ps4 controller via Bluetooth. Works great for messing around with rosters, drafting, etc. uploadfromtaptalk1459959926138.jpg

Currently installing Windows 10. If I ever needed a reason, this would be it.

I can't stand Windows 10 but this did make it slightly easier to deal with...

What app are you using? And does it require my phone to be rooted?
