Rumor: Vita Allows You to Play All PS3 Games Anywhere with Remote Play
Have you ever wanted to play your favorite PlayStation 3 games on your handheld, but don’t want to worry about whether or not the game you want to play is supported? You’re in luck, because the Vita may have a solution for you.
Eurogamer claims that the PlayStation 3 will receive a firmware update around the launch of the handheld that will integrate Vita Remote Play. While it will only support a 480×272 resolution, which is nearly half of the device’s normal pixel count, all games will be supported. For the first time ever, you’ll be able to play games like Batman: Arkham City, Dark Souls, and even the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection on your elegant, portable device, anywhere you want.
The addition of a second analog stick and a more ergonomic design should make this one of the best additions to the PlayStation Portable’s successor. It hasn’t been confirmed if online play will be supported, but it’s definitely possible, and would make this a complete implementation. The Vita is beginning to look like it can do just about everything, and with a European and North American release date of February 22, 2012, you won’t have to wait long to experience it for yourself.

Dear Lord, Please let this be true.
A.M.E.N !
I wanted to wait for a price drop on the Vita or something, but if this is true, I’ll buy it right from the moment it goes on sale.
As if this thing didnt give me enough reasons to buy it!!
Please be true!!
That is freaking cool. Hope it’s true though.
Please, please, please be true. I’d be overjoyed.
Pffff… sorry but…
Ok guys, this “remote play” is actually a… remote play. Means what? Laggy as hell compared to play on your PS3. No shit since you have to go through all these tubes!
Seriously, go and try the current Remote Play on PSP on your local lan. Sure the PSP is 802.11b only, but… No. I’ll be the first surprised to see this working. Why? Head over the net and see, everyone that tried to “remote play” on PC using remote desktop apps (or likes) miserably failed.
I’m honest enough to own myself on this one, lol oh well
It seems there’s an online service call “OnLive” that actually does remote play. See
http://www.onlive.com/
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnLive
So, if well done by Sony… it MAY properly works.
MGS4 on Vita??????
THE ONLY PROBLEM !!!!
how do you will change disc !!!
hahahahaha
calling your mom at home? LOL
Hire a professional disk changer.
should that problem arise I’ll start crying and then I’ll shoot myself in the face, after all if I can’t play differant games while on the move on my PSV then there’s no point in living anymore isn’t there.
This is amazing news and coincidentally I was just talking with a friend how I wanted this feature so bad because of my bulging disc because I can’t sit an play for extended periods of time like I used to so being able to walk around the house and do this would be a major relief.
I have a really hard time believing this. I hope it’s true, but I just can’t see it being possible with big name titles.
So this automatically debunks the PS3 like graphics, which it can’t even push at such a low rez. Enjoy the rip off guys
Buy the Vita. You also be a fool to blow cash on products you already have but want to take them mobile… How many times can you play that Single player over?
Actually, it doesn’t debunk anything. It feels like a limitation of the PS3′s own Remote Play feature.
so wait how is this possible without R2 and L2 buttons… oh wait touch screen in the back never mind
This would be great, if true. Sometimes I just want to play Puzzle Quest or other turn based / untimed games but don’t want to go downstairs. Let it happen.
hello …
I wouldn’t see this so great for disc based, as some of you mentioned, but for PSN / downloadable games would be a plus.
yet it should be like having an ‘ONLIVE Type’ personal server that gives us access to our own library.
cloud gaming is the future & nothing prevent it to start from home, the actual remote play on PSP isn’t the best to do so, make it better on Vita & let us enjoy our games on the move …
cheers!
