Sony requires support for Remote Play for all games PS4

Portal Eurogamer reports that reliable sources among developers working with PlayStation 4, It was reported that Sony It requires developers to support Vita Remote Play all games PS4 - Except for those who use the camera PS4 Eye.

The news should help the handheld console Playstation VitaWhich has not yet been able to obtain a commercial success, which had hoped to SonyAnd this allows the console to provide the same function, which provides another manufacturer of consoles - Nintendo with its Wii U GamePad, namely the game without using the TV.

Remote Play works by compressing framebuffer with a resolution of up to 1080p native resolution of 960x544 pixels Vita in using the built-in PS4 hardware h.264 video codec. Then this picture is transmitted over WiFi for Vita, which decodes the video and sends back to PS4 TAP controller. It is essentially a cloud streaming, moved into your house, characterized in that a higher quality pictures due to the higher throughput and lower latency video, which is achieved due to the local nature of the connection between the PS4 and Vita.


Of course, in itself Remote Play It is not new - in PSP and Vita had little support for multiple games PS3 - But at the very Vita was no additional support for this feature, but better protocol support 480p.
Of course, those who are hacked firmware PS3 have access to Remote Play in most games. The problem lies in the fact that Remote Play on PS3 based on the video encoding software using SPU processor Cell, but the developers did not much want to exchange performance CPU to support Remote Play, especially if the technology slow response and poor picture quality.

All this changed with the PlayStation 4In which there is a hardware video codec for Remote Play, record gameplay and support for signaling to other users through technology Gaikai.This feature is built into the system, and therefore does not require developers to sacrifice performance. Until now it was unclear how publishers will want to use this opportunity - and at the same time opening the library PS4 to Playstation Vita. This news deprives publishers of choice in this matter, and ensures consistency in the level of the proposed gaming opportunities.

Lack of support for games that use PlayStation 4 Eye It is not a surprise. Although the Vita has its own camera, they do not have the permissions that a camera that comes bundled with the PS4 (Not to mention the stereoscopic elements), as well as video from a camera Vita will not be transferred back to the PS4 to handle - it would be quite resource-intensive activity for the platform. For these reasons, games using PS4 Eye They were excluded from the requirement to support Remote Play.
