The next major firmware update the PS4, version v3.50, has graduated from the recent beta and will be officially releasing tomorrow. PS4 Firmware v3.50 includes a number of new features, including the ability to appear offline, online friend notifications, and new ways to connect. Along with it also comes the PC / Mac Remote Play application, which lets you play your PS4 on a computer.
Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed (via twitter) that Sony are working on a official app to bring PS4 Remote Play functionality to the PC and Mac. Although a release date has not be revealed, this is good news for gamers with only one TV in the household.
With the release of the PlayStation TV looming near, Sony has released the ultimate FAQ to answer all your questions on how it will work, how it differs to the PS Vita and lots more. For example, you’ll be able to use both the DualShock 3 and DualShock 4 controllers with the PlayStation TV.
PlayStation TV will be releasing in Europe and the UK on November 14th, Sony has revealed, with a RRP of £84.99 / €99.99. Sony has also confirmed that hundreds of PS Vita, PSP and PS one games will be compatible with the device from day one, along with Remote Play functionality with the PS4.
Destiny is just days away from release, and a new video of the game has been released showing the Remote Play capabilities of the game. The video from PlayStation.Blog shows just how impressive, and responsive the remote play experience is. The team over at Bungie actually optimized the controls for Destiny on PS Vita via Remote Play, and the controls are displayed below.
Three new high-definition videos have been released showing the various features of the PS4, with the first showing the PS4’s Dynamic Menu in great details. The second video takes a look at the PlayStation Store, screen recording, screenshots and sharing via the available Social Media sites, while the final video looks at Remote Play and how easy it is to pick up where you left off.
A new video has emerged showing PS4 launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall being played on the PS Vita using Remote Play. The downside is that the video is very short – only 14 seconds – and very poor quality. Like Knack, the display for Killzone is simply replicated on the PS Vita, allowing someone to watch you play on the TV, even if you’re using Remote Play in another room.
New Japanese footage of the PS4 has appeared from an unknown event showing how the PS4’s Interface works, including multitasking and Remote Play. The video shows how seamless it is switching between a game (in this case, Knack) and the web browser (or another application).
Sony has show off the PS4’s Remote Play capabilities in the past, but at the Brazil Game Show, Sony showed off Knack’s Remote Play features with a twist: second-screen co-op. Knack allows you to play couch co-op with a friend, with one player using the PS4 connected to a TV and the using a PS Vita.
