Sony survey about Remote Play: PS1/PS2 Games, Remote Play on Switch/Apple TV, Portable DualShock and more

probably local over the network. Just to use it in another room without moving the console
Not gonna lie, but even a downgrade to 540p and outputting on switch would be insanely awesome. A lot of those do seem like great ideas though and hopefully this is improved on ps5
Plz do all this. I'd buy a $100 DualShock that had a small screen in it, an ARM chip that plays PS1 games, and does remote play.
Yes. Remote Play is an app for smartphones and PC that you can stream games from your PS4.
Supporting other controllers should be possible.
Well yeah but less powerful. Like PS Classic but portable and wirh a screen and buttons
One of my two regrets of selling my Vita, is that I cannot continue playing the original FF9
They had a similar survey for PS4, basically "Hey which of these features would you like the most?" Thay've
edit: Actually it seems like they did more than I remembered, even though those were done not how one would like (ie what's the point of a wish list if you don't get notified?) or some of them should have been there day 1 (like notifications when friends go online)
Sadly the ones that I'd like the most weren't done or they were half-assed (PS1 and PS2 respectively)
Being able to Remote Play onto my Switch would be one of the greatest things ever. Remote Play on Vita is already nice, but the Switch would be above and beyond. Already use my phone for portable wi-fi when I'm out with my Switch, but being able to access not just all my Switch games, but my Playstation games too would be fantastic.
Would love Remote Play on Switch, was planning to get a Vita pretty much just for that, but never did. I doubt it'd ever happen though.
I'd love remote play on the switch but first what would sony's Motivation even be to do that and would NIntendo allow it?
If you have to pay a subscription fee to unlock streaming access and still have to buy the games, it sounds like a winner to me. The last bit is my biggest question - obviously Nintendo doesn't have a Hulu competitor so having a non-Nintendo subscription isn't a conflict of interest, but games are a completely different story.

Well, you still have to own a PlayStation console to use Remote Play. I don't think they'll change that in the future.
Maybe people mistake Remote Play with PS Now.
Remote Play: An app that "turns" the PS4 into a server to stream your games to another device (Android, iOS and PC for now)
PS Now: A service that uses Amazon/Azure servers to stream any game on the service to a device (PS4 and PC for now)

Sony: It makes the PS4 more attractive
Nintendo: I don't think Nintendo would agree to this because it is a free service in which Nintendo cannot get a monetary cut.
Switch really is the Vit...
Damn, kids these days are too fast

Remote Play isn't behind a subscription. It makes complete sense for Sony though you are still technically just playing your PlayStation. I'd imagine Nintendo would say no, as there's really no benefit in it for them outside of having a selling point they'd never use (play your PlayStation games on the Switch) and one that didn't really help the Vita overall.
Nintendo can make money selling Switch with one feature more: play playstation games on the go
Yeah this would be kinda cool. Hopefully PS5 will have some built in wireless HDMI so it can do truly lag less connection to a device like this (also perhaps could double up to be used with a wireless PSVR 2).
Yeah but that app would be free and unmonetizable'
Maybe Sony would be interested in Remote Play on Switch but Nintendo isn't, they don't want you to stream Doom from your PS4 to Switch, they want you to buy it on the eShop
xCloud on the other hand is probably more enticing to Nintendo if they can negotiate for a satisfactory piece of the pie
No, I already received surveys from them asking what platforms I play games on, mentioning competitor consoles, iPhone, PC etc.
