What you can and cannot do through remote play on PS VITA


 

It would be great if you could do everything your PS3 is capable of remotely on your PS Vita, but you can't. Some of the restrictions make sense, while others are a bit silly. You can get it from the Settings, Photo, Music, Video, Game, Network, PlayStation Network and Friends menus on your PS3.

 

What you cannot do is use each of the features on those menus. The Settings, Photo, Game and PSN menus will only allow you to access some functions. Also, you won't be able to play all your PS3 games. The ability to use Remote Play to play PS3 games has to be built into the game, so whether or not this happens in future games will probably depend on how many people use this feature.

 

Not all the videos on your PS3 will be available to view on your PS Vita via Remote Play. You won't be able to view any discs, not Blu-Rays or DVDs, and any copyrighted file will also be off limits.

 



Most of the controls for remote play are as simple as using the equivalent buttons on the PS Vita to navigate the PS3 menus. Some exceptions, such as the PS3 button and changing image quality or screen modes, require touching the PS Vita screen and selecting the operation you want to perform.

Three ways to connect

 

To use Remote Play after pairing your devices, all you need is Wi-Fi. If you have a PS3 with built-in Wi-Fi networking (in other words, newer models), just select Remote Play, then Start on PS Via, and Network, then Remote Play on PS3. Finally, select Connect via private network on the PS Vita and the two computers will establish a connection. The advantage of this method is that you don't need anything more than a PS3 and a PS Vita to play. The downside is that you have to keep the PS Vita within range of the PS3's Wi-Fi.

 

If your PS3 doesn't have built-in Wi-Fi network capabilities, you can connect using your home Wi-Fi network. All PS3s are equipped to connect to a wireless home network, as are all PS Vitas. Follow the exact same steps as using the PS3's built-in network to connect the devices.

 

Finally, if you want to be able to access the content of your PS3 when you are away, you can do it through any available Wi-Fi. Your PS3 needs to be connected to the internet, but it can be a wired or wireless connection (so if you keep carrying cables everywhere, you can use this method even if you can't use the previous two). The connection is much the same as if you were at home, except that you select Connect over the Internet on the PS Vita. The downsides of connecting this way are that not all

 

Wi-Fi networks allow you to do so, and you have to put the PS3 into remote play mode before you leave your house, as there is no way to do it remotely.

When you're done, turning off Remote Play is as simple as switching to another app on your PS Vita. The connection to your PS3 will automatically close after 30 seconds (the PS3 will remain on and in remote playback mode, however). If you also want to shut down your PS3 remotely, first touch the PS Vita screen while still in Remote Play and select Shut Down. The PS3 will turn itself off and the connection will be closed.

    GPS The system has a GPS that allows us to mark our location and is used mainly by an application included in the console called «Near» that allows us to locate other users of the Vita within a radius of a little more than 1 km around, being able to also see their games and scores. While this application may seem interesting to connect with other players who play the same game as us, the interface and the use of Near is far from intuitive. I had to touch many buttons without achieving what I wanted and I looked for instructions on the web and they all say the same thing: it is poorly designed, it has no clear use and for now it only serves to check that the GPS is working well. Accelerometer   The motion sensor of the console is very precise and allows in conjunction with the cameras to make use of augmented reality to show us digital characters in real environments. In the video below I show you the free game "Reality Fighters", which not only allows us t...

PlayStation Vita SLIM

  PlayStation Vita Slim: slimmer, cheaper and with a better battery The new PlayStation Vita Slim is thinner, lighter, but still thicker than a cell phone. Can it compete with a cell phone? Here our first look   Sony is trying to give the PlayStation Vita a new look with the new Slim version. The new video game device is already on sale in Japan, but it is finally making its way in other parts of the world.   The PlayStation Vita Slim, also known as Vita 2000, will be released in the UK on February 7 for an estimated price of £ 180, which is around £ 50 less than the original Vita when it first came on the market. At the moment, Sony has not confirmed a release date in the United States, but I would be surprised if readers in this country had to wait much longer.

Where to buy a Vita SLIM PC at a good price?

Portable consoles have always been almost exclusive to Nintendo, but in that sense Sony stood up to it for years with the PSP and PlayStation Vita. Unfortunately, the latter has not been as successful outside of Japan, where it is still one of the best-selling second-hand consoles. The feeling of playing anywhere is indescribable, even for a while before sleeping. Sure you have done it sometime, right? Well, if you want to recover that feeling, we will tell you where and how to buy a PS Vita at the best price right now.   Finding a brand new PS Vita in the mainstream markets is not an easy task. This is due to the cessation of production of the console, so it can be said that there are already limited units spread around the world. But don't worry because at the moment the console works as well as the first day and has a catalog with the best PS Vita games such as the extraordinary Gravity Rush or Uncharted: The golden abyss. In any case, you can always download the free ga...
