More footage has arrived, though we’re not sure from which event, showing the PS4’s UI and how it switches between games, in this case Knack, and the web browser. It all appears to be very smooth much like how the Vita works when it switches between applications.
Speaking of the Vita the footage also shows the handheld’s remote play functionality, and we’re shown how it links up with that PS4 Link app, which was part of today’s Vita 3.0 Firmware update. The footage doesn’t truly show off the graphical power of the PS4 due to being captured off screen.

Absolutely brilliant. Massive bonus this functionality and will get used often in my household.

Ditto, this feature is superb really can’t wait to try it out!

Wonder whether that black box the Vita was plugged into was removing any latency for demo purposes ie linking it directly to the console as opposed to wirelessly. I want remote play to be amazing but after Vita/PS3 RP I’m pretty sceptical. New FIFA in bed would be so good!

Having become accustomed to the PS3 browser, i had forgotton that it might be possible to run the PS4 browser without having to quit your game so that was pretty cool for me. :)
Remote Play looks great too, much slicker than with PS3.

That switching does indeed look responsive. A Far Cry from the PS3 currently.

It’s looking very slick.
The things I’m looking forward to most is a lot shorter loading times and suspend mode, although I’ve read reports that the suspend mode won’t be available from launch. If true it’s a bummer but I hope it’s not long until it’s added.

Looking forward to trying out remote play, my only concern is the rear touchpad representing buttons. I’m always resting my fingers against it accidentally, therefore I can see many an unintentional grenade being thrown.

I agree about the rear touch pad as buttons. The amount of times I have accidently ballooned a ball into row Z in FIFA because of it!

Do what I did and buy a grip for Vita which basically turns it into a DS3. (In shape anyway)

If I download games on the ps store on my ps3 can I download them on the ps4, someone tell me please
DJ Judas
Are you asking if all your PS3 downloaded games will be compatible with PS4? If so the answer is no; there will only be a few games that have PS4 versions also available that are cross-buy games.
Flow, Escape Plan, Flower and Sound Shapes are games that if you have them on PS3, you’ll be able to get them on PS4 also.

That’s stupid it’s from the ps store so why won’t it?
KeRaSh
Because they have been programmed specifically for the PS3 hardware. The few games that will be available on the PS4 have been completely ported to make them compatible with the PS4.
Just because the games are all in the PS store doesn’t mean they have to be compatible with every device that can connect to the store. Otherwise you’d be able to play PS3 games on the Vita and vice versa, which obviously isn’t the case.

Can’t wait to try out Remote Play! One of my most anticipated features.

Remote play is one of the main reasons I am getting the PS4. Dont get enough time on the PS3 as out telly is in high demand
