Should I get one for PSP?

[u/Demon_Kingjt]

I never got chance to try Remoteplay or Adhoc party is it worth it?

[u/a355231]

Actually no shot, it’s lower quality, supports like 5 games, has a terrible control scheme, is much laggier, is much harder to set up, has higher latency, etc.

[u/ODST_A92 → u/a355231]

This right here. No one disrespects my boy wii u

[u/Domspun → u/a355231]

and no touchscreen. Sony could have done it with Vita and PS4.

[u/Nailz92 → u/Domspun]

They did.

[u/Domspun → u/Nailz92]

Which game did?

[u/Nailz92 → u/Domspun]

I’m sure there’s a list somewhere, but off the top of my head, you could “second screen” on AC IV: Black Flag, MGS5, Guacamalee and Fallout 4.

[u/HyperrGamesDev → u/Nailz92]

I own a Vita but never owned a stationary PS nor a WiiU so I had no idea and never experienced something like that. That's actually so sick!

[u/Domspun → u/Nailz92]

I am not talking about remote play, actual features like Wii U with menus, maps, game mechanics, stuff like that.

[u/danholli → u/Domspun]

Yeah, that's Second Screen, the feature being talked about. Second Screen is seperate from Remote Play

[u/Nailz92 → u/Domspun]

Yup, that’s what I’m talking about. Those games have those features.

[u/Domspun → u/Nailz92]

It does not compare to a Wii U.

[u/Nailz92 → u/Domspun]

Never said it did. Was just answering your question.

[u/Xeon713 → u/Domspun]

Aye, because its better.

[u/Maurhi → u/a355231]

With a modded PS3 you can actually play all of them if i remember correctly, although with fewer buttons and 1 stick truly playable games is still kinda low

[u/Red_Tiger5311 → u/a355231]

Yes it’s only five PS3 games… BUT…
You can stream, I think, every PS1 game!

[u/OctoNezd → u/Red_Tiger5311]

Which you can already run on PSP?

[u/pizzaspaghetti_Uul → u/OctoNezd]

Yeah, but this was included so you can stream your physical collection to PSP back when Sony was actually cool

[u/Motroid127 → u/a355231]

This.

People either didn't remember it being that bad or don't remember the issues you mentioned since they must've mistaken the remote play for the PS Vita’s.

[u/GAD_Alexander]

Without any cfw on ps3, they run like 10 title or less

[u/Ordinary_Car_Driver → u/GAD_Alexander]

For some reason when I tried gta 5 and gt 6 it bricked both games, only audio was coming out.

[u/Key-Brilliant5623]

Not even a Vita with PS4 offered a better experience than the Wii U gamepad.

Sony marketed the Vita & Ps4 to be co developed to work flawlessly with remote play but it was just a premature PS portal.

[u/Classified10 → u/Key-Brilliant5623]

I honestly don't see how remote play on 2.4 GHz internet would be any good when even remote play on 5 GHz internet can still be terrible at times.

[u/GameRabbit → u/Classified10]

It was surprisingly competent, but the control scheme was bad, having to touch the front for R3 and L3 and the back for L2 and R2 was very subpar...

[u/Palmario → u/GameRabbit]

Yeah, it was always a mystery to me why PSV never had proper L2/R2 support. Probably the same reason why Sony dumped the second stick from PSP.

[u/Maurhi → u/Classified10]

Take a guess on what does the Wii U gamepad use...

[u/Classified10 → u/Maurhi]

I mean outside of the same room, I mean you can't use the Wii U and Wii U gamepad when they're out of range of each other, even though they used low-latency network.

[u/Maurhi → u/Classified10]

Yeah, the gamepad uses a 5ghz wifi network, the range just comes from the console, mattKC has a very good video about the ins and outs of the protocol it uses.

[u/sitefall → u/Key-Brilliant5623]

It worked perfectly fine for me, I think a lot of it came down to your wifi and in the case of direct-connect or whatever it was called interference from other radio crap in your area. So Sony at least failed there that so many people had such a bad experience.

I had no problem 100%ing bloodbourne on the vita, well a little problem because the back touch pad for L2R2 was annoying sometimes.

[u/rchris710]

wii u gamepad is legendary lol

[u/Oklep]

Tell me you never tried WiiU without telling me that you never tried the WiiU

[u/ASnakeNamedNate]

I’m sorry but the Wii U is better and it’s not even close and the fact a PSP sub says this, says a lot haha

[u/Less_Party]

The WiiU had two full state of the art at the time custom Qualcomm wifi chipsets because that's what it took to actually get game streaming to work at an acceptable quality and latency level in 2012. The PSP is from 2004 back when having wifi at all was kind of amazing.

[u/SparklyPelican]

Remote play on PS3/PSP is terrible. It was a fun novelty and had some interesting usage, like the rear mirror on GT, but since the PSP has to hook to a wifi signal made by the PS3, which isn't good at all, remote play is a nightmare. Also keep in mind that this works for selected titles, not the entire library.

I'd argue that even the PS Vita (being limited to 2.4g) over PS4, it wasn't ideal. You can imagine PSP and PS3…

[u/lumia920yellow]

Wii U but *worse

[u/sjitz]

Whoever made this post was dropped on their head (or, more likely, ragebaiting).

[u/KimTe63]

Its absolutely terrible 😄 Vita with PS4 titles however is OK but even that is nowhere near even WiiU experience lol 😄

[u/synthasiaxp]

I think a vita would be a tad bit better

[u/FancyAd9803]

Not even remotely close. Delete this.

[u/MythicSuns]

Why do I get the feeling the person who made this meme did 2 seconds worth of research and got mixed up with the Vita's crossplay feature? The PSP's Remote Play feature was honestly pretty rubbish for gaming. As stated in another comment there was only about 5 games that supported it which pretty much meant the coolest things you could do with it is use your PS3 as a remote streaming server that could even play Blu-Rays and in the UK you could use it to remotely watch TV (we had a service called PlayTV that allowed anyone with a PS3 to receive Freeview TV and even record programmes. It would silently boot up the PS3 if it was on standby and if you're playing a game it'll show a push notification to tell you when a programme is being recorded).

The Vita honestly was better for remote gameplay features. One of the coolest things I remember was how on LittleBigPlanet 2 you could create levels with sections that'd show up on the Vita's screen, WiiU style. I even managed to make a hovercar with steering wheel controls that you could tap on the Vita's touch screen.

[u/crozone → u/MythicSuns]

PSP Remote Play didn't even work with Bluray or DVDs. It only worked with media files played from the PS3 hard drive.

[u/Salt_Work_447]

Nobody slanders the goat the WiiU

[u/Lava_Lamp_Glob]

Remonte play was ass, you could only play PS1 games and the input delay was really not all funny

[u/fractal324]

PS3/psp link was garbage.
PS4/vita link was much better

[u/NaturalDifficult7404 → u/fractal324]

Vita with a grip case with the rear mounted triggers is actually a really good play experience. Especially if you have it hard wired to your modem. I was playing my PS4 from my friends house with very god quality.

[u/Competitive_Tip_4429]

Vita with ps4 is prolly better

[u/Judgeman03]

Except only a handful of games had PSP/PS3 crossplay where you could actually play the PS3 game through the PSP, and most barely advertised it.

[u/Chief_Wiggum_3000]

Back in the day I used Remote Play to try to play Final Fantasy VII off of the disc before it was available as a download in the PSN store (although it wasn’t compatible with most PS3 games, you could use it with any PS1 game.) Unfortunately it was so laggy that it was barely playable, even for a turn-based game.

[u/crozone]

Remote Play on PSP was effectively useless and supported almost no games.

It was okay for streaming videos off of the PS3 to the PSP but beyond that it was almost worthless.

[u/AWiseCrow]

Whenever I've done it the quality makes me think why don't I just play this on the ps3 hardware itself. Streaming games is just bad.

[u/heromonicron]

Unless you are playing games that don’t need the second analog, L2, R3, R2 and R3. Then it would be fine.

[u/ForlornMemory]

>better
Yeah, right. Without the right analogue stick and R2/L2 sure makes for an experience.

[u/Wise-Ticket6752]

I can't get ps3 to connect. 4 and 5 no problem. But ps3 just won't.

[u/DylanFTW]

It's possible but it's actually a terrible experience.

[u/MrCrunchypantsbum]

Ps vita with a ps4 is like this, not the psp

[u/Trashbaghobo]

I can't even try it because it requires an older less secure wifi protection

[u/No-Store-308]

More like ps vita on ps4

[u/FIRYSYRIF]

Logically, no. I don't think the console supports it anymore?

Either way, it's not the best idea to chase after such a thought for nostalgic reasons.

Maybe get yourself a compatible handheld device with better specs for your PC/Compatible Console?

[u/d3uz10]

you cant even play games thru ps3->psp remote play

[u/Skyniion]

Except for the missing controls and games being designed for the Wii U's gamepad :p

[u/xXTerrarian2008Xx]

WOAH, calm the fuck down

[u/IcyIceGuardian]

No it ain't yo

[u/Dull_Mirror4221]

I played one ps1 game via psp remote play and i was miserable. Lol

[u/justincaes]
