Indie developer creates app for Sony’s Remote Play for the PC
Sony’s handhelds and consoles are capable of a lot of features that further enhance a player’s experience on the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation Vita. Perhaps one of the best features of Sony’s current hardware is the ability to seamlessly interact with one another, thus making use of each of the devices' capability in full throttle.
One of the features Sony gave the PlayStation Vita is the Remote Play. Through this feature, players are able to stream PlayStation 4 titles into the comforts of their handheld PlayStation Vita, providing a high-end gaming experience on the go. It seems some developers are looking to improve upon this feature, PCGamesN points out.
Developer Twisted has found a way to allow the PlayStation 4 to stream on the PC. Basically, it allows Sony’s Remote Play accessible on the PC. Although the app is unofficial, it looks to be a solid software with a few lag problems.
The software, aptly named Remote Play PC, is given a short demo video in Youtube. In the YouTube demo, the software is seen running “Infamous: First Light,” and it looks to play off without a hitch. However, it is unsure how the software will stand against more recent and demanding titles such as “Destiny: Taken King,” “The Witcher: Wild Hunt,” “Fallout 4” and “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.”
The app is not free and it will be capped at around US$10 (AU$13.87). The money gathered from the software will be used to further extend efforts in making Remote Play PC better. The developer added that it plans on adding more features, making it more stable and maybe even porting it to other platforms as well.
“Sadly it’s the only way to support my living costs. I’d like to work on this project full-time, adding features, getting it stable and porting it to other platforms which I know a lot of you want,” said Twisted.
