Sony’s President of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida is really good at confirming this with “yes” or “no” replies on twitter. The latest confirms that PS4 users will be able to chat with Vita users via Party Chat.

So, that means not just Cross Game Chat, but Cross Platform Chat too, which seems like a rather impressive feat. It will be good to see how well this works after the PS4, but it sounds very promising if it’s going to be as smooth as chatting from Vita to Vita.
Yoshida also confirmed that you’ll be able to jump straight into Remote Play while the game is still active, so there will be no need to save and quit. Now, we wonder whether Party Chat will remain active while using Remote Play.
Thanks, Ross

I don’t understand how cross-platform chat is “quite an impressive feat”, considering the fact that mobile phones have had “cross-platform” chat since their inception.

i would agree, i only asked yoshida because xbox said that 360 and the ONE party chat was not possible.
still don’t understand why but for me this is great news.
