    I managed to remote play psvita but need connection for one time setup then I can play without net every time.
    Question is can I remote play using xz1 and latest app version? Without tv?

    I loved the second screen function for battlefield 4. you could see the whole map on your tablet and you could choose to play as commander airdropping vehicles and prioritise objectives. shame its not utilised in all games at least for the menu and map.

  • @leeheffo
    @leeheffo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    With some games you need companion apps amd not the play station second screen. Seems this video was released before RDR2 and the companion app for that game was so helpful. To be able to have the map up when travelling to an objective on auto horse travel or just generally browsing and placing markers! Very useful feature i would definitely give it a go for games that support the feature. Companion apps often are very useful but also operate separately to play station second screen apps.

    @UnlimitedFlyers 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If smartphones came as part of the PS4 package (as in, literally and physically come with the consoles) then I bet devs would have exploited the app's functionality more. But to do it without certainty of use, or worse -- risk alienating players who have the console and the game, but can't have the app on their phones for whatever reason -- I can see why the feature is rarely explored.
    Which is a shame, really. Exploring a secondary menu or even a mini-map on our smartphone would come in handy in a lot of games.
