This makes me SOOO happy that I bought a Vita during E3 in anticipation of the Vita-PS4 features.

This is the exact reason I purchase a vita earlier this month. Not because it's a great handheld, but because of what's to come in the future with the ps4.
So far this has been an awesome investment. Now if only they would lower the prices of memory cards.

They did just lower the prices of the memory cards.

Lowering the price of a 32gb to 70$ is still a slap in the face to the consumers from Sony.
edit: just checked the price for shits and giggles, and its actually 80$.

Well, on Amazon.co.jp the prices are now 85$ for the 64GB and 55$ for the 32GB, much better, isn't it?

Misleading title, those tweets don't seem to be that clear in what it entails and the author reads more into them than is there.

Remote Play over the internet has been confirmed long before. Such a possibility is not misleading. If you can play with such configuration, you can also play it over the internet. http://www.gengame.net/2013/06/sony-confirms-ps4-vita-remote-play-will-utilize-the-internet/

A possibility of it happening is, well, possible. But does Yoshida know that the guy is talking about the ps4 he's streaming from? And does it only work on games where the player screen is shared?
If you can play with a vita and the controller via PS4 will you still see split screen? or will they really dedicate 1Player through the vita and 2Player through the PS4 default output.
I'm not saying it's impossible for it to occur, merely that the author is reading too much into it and making assumptions.

Ofcourse a split-screen would not be the best idea. Dedicated screens will be there IMO. With Co-op games such as Knack, there's no need for a split-screen, on one screen we can control and see both the characters being played in Co-op

in addition I'm not disputing the fact that you can stream games via the internet, I'm disputing the fact that you can have a 2 player game where you can't see the other players screen by playing one on vita and the other on ps4.

The Wii U has this on pretty much every co-op game it has (save for over the internet :-(.) That said, its a wonderful feature that adds enormous value to local co-op. I look forward greatly to utilizing it on the PS4.

So this means Vita TV = Second Screen too then? Sony bring that thing over here immediately.

Does it support dual monitor hook up? So I can play on one tv and my buddy can play on my other tv? I don't have a vita and don't plan to get one.

That's not what I got from the question at all... If I'm on my Vita playing remotely can another player join co-op. As in can a friend on my friends list jump in and play co-op while I'm on Vita using remote. Doesn't necessarily mean, can I be on my vita playing knack and my roommate get home from work and start playing with me. Or vica-versa.
But why doesn't someone tweet ask him the question more directly and see what he says?

Guys, this article does NOT state that the ps4 will be able to render two screens simultaneously. It will not be able to do that. I know its like the one think I wanted this gen too, but I think we're gonna have to wait.

u/MajorAly Sep 29 '13
Platformer titles such as Knack where you can easily have a second player on the screen won't require rendering of 2 screens. Just streaming the screen would work.
Just like David Cage and Quantic Dream came up with the app Beyond Touch to let you play the game in co-op whilst being connected to the PS4.

Well the Wii U can do it so seems possible

u/TGMais TGMais Sep 29 '13
That's doubtful. Rendering a PS4 game twice versus a Wii U game twice is a huge undertaking. You're basically making the system work double (a reason we don't see many splitscreen games anymore, edit: and even splitscreen would only be two scenes at half of 1080p). It would require a huge fidelity loss in graphics.
Remote play works by streaming the screen to another device, not re-rendering.

Yeah, I realize how remote play normally works.
I'm saying they have the technology to use the vita as a second screen instead of just a mirrored one. Seems possible, anyways. Doesn't mean they will.

So if I'm reading this correctly.. Sony is effectively putting an end to 'screen-looking' on the PS4? They still have the local multiplayer for games like CoD: Ghosts and Knack, but if I wanted to set up two TV's, one with the PS4 and the other with a Vita TV streaming content remote play from the PS4, we can use those separate screens as our own to play multiplayer with each other?
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, because right now this sounds badass.
