Vita Remote Play Is Game Specific, Not System Wide

This one has been the subject of a number of conflicting reports. Initially, we were shown Killzone 3 displayed on a Vita screen and told that it would be an option for PS3 games to feature Remote Play. Then we heard reports that it would be a system wide feature and all PS3 games would be capable of being streamed to the portable device’s gorgeous screen.

Now, Sony officials are downplaying those reports and saying, quite clearly, that it’s a feature on the PS3 side that must be included by developers. Andriasang translates an interview conducted by Munechika Nishida for Game Watch in which he posed the question to Yoshio Matsumoto, Senior VP at SCE, and Muneki Shimada, Division 2 Software Development Head.

That information is mistaken, the compatibility is achieved on the side of the PS3 game, just like normal

So that’s it then, case closed. Let’s just cross our fingers and hope that developers are more keen to utilise this function than they have been for the PSP’s Remote Play functionality.
