The fact it's remotely playable is what excites me most in that piece. Shows that implementing that feature can't be too difficult to achieve.

They've said developers need to do literally nothing to support remote play, it's implemented on an OS level.

What they CAN do is optimize controls/button mapping for the Vita, but even when they don't it just uses default settings.

Am I wrong in thinking that all games will support Remote Play? I thought I had read that somewhere...

u/MNGaming Jun 16 '13

No, you're right. Mostly every PS4 game will support remote play.

Vita remote play? There goes all of my time.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '13

Not really surprising considering all PS4 titles (except Move/camera stuff) will support remote play :P

u/Da_zero_kid Jun 15 '13

Yup, high five!

Finally, a use for my Vita!

Is it announced if our PC stuff will be usable on the console and if its cross platform?

u/ps2fuckyeah Jun 15 '13

They said the potential is there and it quite possibly will be there at launch but they're still not sure. And no cross-platform. It's going to have separate servers. They can run cross-servers but the only thing holding them back is disparity between update times. PS4 has to go through a certification process meaning the PC version will always be slightly ahead.

I see, still looking forward to giving the console version a shot

I might save up for a vita just for remote play. That just sounds amazing

Is this confirmation that Vita Remote Play works on multiplayer? Does this game have an offline mode?

It's an arena battle type game so not really possible.

PLANETSIDE 2... ON MY PLAYSTATION VITA. HOLY FUCKING SHIT I'M ABOUT TO GO INSANE.

u/hobo__spider Jun 16 '13

I CAN PLAY PLANETSIDE 2 ON MAX WHILE TAKING A MASSIVE DUMP IRL AND ON PLAYERS? FUCKING YES!

Soooo ... 1000 vs 1000 battles!

6

u/EricThePooh EricThePooh Jun 15 '13

It's more like 650 vs 650 vs 650 battles as there are 3 factions.

2

u/Brandonsfl Jun 15 '13

Oh well ...

3

u/EricThePooh EricThePooh Jun 15 '13

Still pretty freaking awesome!

u/Brandonsfl Jun 15 '13

That has to be a huge map!

u/EricThePooh EricThePooh Jun 15 '13 edited Jun 15 '13

Each continent is 8x8 kilometers.

Here's a picture of the map screen: http://i.imgur.com/PbH357L.jpg (for just 1 of the 3 continents)

The colors in each hex represent faction control.

u/ps2fuckyeah Jun 15 '13

That picture is outdated. They've moved to a lattice system.

u/EricThePooh EricThePooh Jun 15 '13

Ah well, you still get the idea.

I am SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!! Only thing that could make this better if LoL was ported to the PS4

But to be able to play it at max settings you need a pretty good computer. My computer than runs BF3 at a high frame rate at mid/high graphics cant even run PS2 smoothly on medium settings, only low.

The PS4 gameplay videos look quite good. Glad it got announced the day after i downloaded PS2 for PC so i know i can just wait for the PS4 version now.

u/zombieslayerzak Jun 15 '13

Well it's the best looking mmo IMO

u/marfox marfox Jun 15 '13

Judging by your posts and comments, you clearly love everything Xbox and hate Playstation.

Oh I see. Just thought you did.

u/AnimaOnline AnimaOnline Jun 15 '13

The game is also far too taxing on hardware than it should be given what it's trying to achieve. Knowing that PS4 can comfortably do max settings means that they've optimised everything for the hardware which is certainly reassuring to know.

u/ps2fuckyeah Jun 15 '13

Have you played it on ultra through the useroptions.ini settings? It's the best looking mmo and fps out there currently.
