   This was my take on sensationalistic headline, hope you like it!
   For noobs, Vita=Life in latin

   Some journos feel ps4 really needs some killer vita integration to improve vita sales. While vita needs a price cut, some new improved kiss-ass functionality will always be welcome.
   Now I had been thinking this since I saw shield, but now its confirmed by DF that it really is possible to fully integrate a OS based Remote Play function on vita.
   Now some may ask how is this different from gamepad. OS integration GUARANTEES that all ps4 games will support remote play functionality, which, for hardcore fans will be awesome.
   Now,this itself cant save vita as price of entry will be high (atleast in 500$ range, unless sony heavily subsidizes a bundle), but nonetheless, it would be a really neat function, and probably the cheapest way for full remote play, as not all wiiu games support this and shield requires a kepler gpu pc.

   So, are you excited for this? 20th Feb seems way too long to wait now :)

   Honestly, I am really not that interested in this Remote Play stuff but I do believe we'll definitely see some PS4-PSV integration on Feb 20th. What's holding me back from purchasing a Vita is the scarcity of games and support for the system.

   Give me remote-play for all PS3 content with a Vita, and I'll buy one asap. ASAP!

   ^ Ironically you can do that already. Only thing is that you have to hack your PS3.

   The problem with that is that it can't work well enough with all games. To do remote play the PS3 needs to reserve an SPU. Not really going to happen in a lot of games without causing an issue. Hence Sony haven't gone that route and why remote play is currently limited to the less taxing titles. So just because a hacker can do it then it doesn't mean it's fully viable or even works that well.

   As Dragon246 is mentioning up above the PS4 is a different proposition. It has a chip dedicated to doing what the PS3 would need to reserve an SPU for, hence should be able support this with any PS4 title. That is not something which by itself is going to save Vita, but for some people is very good indeed. The controls on the Vita fitting neatly into the functionality of the alleged new PS4 controller seems to add some weight to this too.

   ^ Those videos are about a year old, surely Sony has figured a way around that by now! Ah well, thanks for tempering my expectations.

   @CM,
   I had a hacked ps3 and believe me, it works as shit. It only emulates psp remote play on vita. I tried both kz2 and bf3 and they sucked. Some games like VC and Uncharted even refused to work.
   Also, don't bother hacking now, software based hacks are impossible now.

    @Dragon246, Oh, so you are a pirate now? Sony fanboy is a pirate.

    Why you hacked it then?

    Anything else to say troll? Not that you have the adequate knowledge to add anything useful here. Why not go back to your celeron pc to play doom? We all know that you own nothing.

    @DrDamn,
    Yeah, not a killer feature, but a really neat one nonetheless. Sony was also keen on showing this on ps3-vita, but it just doesn't work out.

    @Dragon, I can understand that the majority of games wouldn't just play like that, but I've seen more than a dozen of games working with a decent quality. So, if a hacker made Remote Play work with a 5min DIY trick, it's hard to believe that SONY is struggling delivering a future that they promised.

    Maybe this process involves more money and time than they thought it would take and aren't willing to continue that effort... Who knows, we have to wait and see.

    @Dragon246, "Why not go back to your celeron pc"

    And why not? Ivy bridge-based Desktop Celeron PC's are 10x time more powerfull then your POS3.

    Still you didn't answered my question. Answer please. Come on Sony246. Tell me about your lie.

    See my post above, and the DF link too. It's not a matter of chucking money at it. It just won't work well enough without dedicated hardware. Remote play isn't zero cost for the PS3.

    @CM,
    As I said, I tried it and it works like SHIT. Although some hackers were posting videos of remote playing pc games on vita using ps mobile dev, which I obviously didn't try.
    But believe me, vita-ps3 remote play doesn't work.

    No.

    But when it fails you have a chance of getting a life.
