I was able to snag one of the 1100 model Vitas, which is the revision of the launch model. Depending on what they are doing, I can usually get a game or two of my 2-minute quarter basketball games in before I need to turn it off. I mean it is just like having a controller and display in a handheld…which is good, and what it’s supposed to do. I rarely run into issues where my WiFi will force the resolution or frame rate to drop and the latency is noticeable compared to playing on a TV but I haven’t had to compensate for it.įor clarity sake, I am using this as a way to watch my kids and still be able to play games (father of the year!). So being able to do the standby boot with the Vita, load up a game on the PS4, and still be mobile is very helpful.

I don’t really know how else to put it, but remote play works and it’s pretty awesome. Being able to boot up the PS4 if it’s in standby mode works, I can shut it down, buy stuff on PSN, take screenshots or videos and transfer them to USB, or most importantly redeem Locker Codes in 2K14. So now that I have had plenty of time to play NBA 2K14 and NBA Live 14 with it, I figured I would give some of my impressions of Remote Play basketball. For those unaware, you can stream from the PlayStation 4 to the Vita and play without a controller or a TV. I wanted it for Remote Play with my PlayStation 4. Since NBA 2K13 was the last basketball game to come out for the old PSP, I wasn’t getting this for playing virtual basketball on the go. It was a great deal and I got very lucky with how great the condition is for something I got for so cheap, used. I finally got a PlayStation Vita, the current portable console from Sony, for a little more than $90. Similar to the established Friday Five by Andrew, the topics will be related to basketball video games and their communities as a whole.Ībout a month ago I found an auction on eBay I couldn’t pass up. This is The Tuesday Triple, where I attempt to break down random topics into three points, and maybe an “and one” if I need it.
