The Last Guardian, absent from Sony’s E3, is probably now vapourware. But Team Ico’s previous games – Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus – will live on via Remote Play.
SCEi’s corporate release yesterday highlights a few interesting details on Cross Platform Play – confirming that Battle Royale and Street Fighter X Tekken will both support Cross-Play.
ICO, God of War, God of War II, Shadow of the Colossus will all support Remote Play, the PDF states – or at least are ‘expected’ to do so.

Amazing that Sony has such a lead in this area & yet Microsoft’s multi-platform Smart Glass will see that surpassed unless Sony pull something out the hat.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

SOTC on remote play. That’s a start I guess. Recently replayed Ico and still love it. How there’s a trophy for completing it in a few hours I don’t know though.

Cool, i can play Ico in bed! :)
After the instant-on of the Wii U GamePad, Remote Play seems a bit clunky now, at least in a local (home) scenario. Granted, unlike the Wii U, remote play can be used away from home – i’ve just never been able to get it to work in that situation.:/
Cross-control sounds interesting, but they clearly haven’t done much work on it yet so we’ll have to wait and see.

Shadow of the lag indeed… Even old ps1 games look naff streamed to vita or psp, and controller lag is evil..such a nice idea but worse than onlive and gaikai and thats with ps3 acting as a server a few feet away….id be happy even with a cable attached if it got rid of the macro blocking and hideous delay
