The PS Vita TV Is Getting PS4 Remote Play And DS4 Support In May
Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong recently announced that the PS Vita TV will be getting an update next month that will enable PS4 Remote Play.
This new update will also allow for DS4 use with the PS Vita. For Singapore users, there is a 50% off discount through June on PS Vita TV, if they buy a PS4. It is interesting how they are making it DS4 compatible, but the value pack still includes a DS3.
Here is my question about the update, up to now, PS Vita updates and PS Vita update files have been identical. If this is to continue, what else is this update going to bring, something that will also have an effect on the PS Vita? The PS Vita already supports PS4 Remote Play, so, if Sony is going to continue the trend of identical update files, what will they add. Hopefully new features. *Cough* PS4 Vita CMA capabilities.
That’s all for now from me, The Jay Doctor. What, if they do bring additional features, would you like Sony to add to the PS Vita arsenal? Let me know in the comments, or on Twitter @The_Jay_Doctor where I can be contacted/followed using the handy links below.

Redeemed already!
Nice post though
🙁
Man, I hope they can make touchscreen working for the PS Vita. Don’t need any other features… Ok, that thing with the DS4 would be nice though
…What’s the point of PS4 remote play?
You can have your PS4 in your living room, for example, and if you want to play on you room, then just use it.
So you can stream your PS4 over the internet. I did this when I was out of state with my vita and played Ghosts and Mercenary Kings
It already got ds4 compat in the last patch
Wait so when you say, “This new update will also allow for DS4 use with the PS Vita.” You mean to say that i can connect my DS4 with my portable vita? Or the PS Vita TV? Because i’ve been waiting so long for the controller to vita support just like how they had it with the psp Go. Now all that’s left is the connector cord to hook it up to a TV, CFW (if ever) and then im set with my portable all around console 😀
useless device is useless.

Sony should put this in mind:
1- Bringing DS4 support for the portable Vita.
2- Allowing the portable Vita to be used as a controller for the Vita TV via Bluetooth, & maybe even for PS3 & PS4 too.
I have a ps4 and you are actually able to stream the video of the ps4 simultanously with output to tv, while it is able to register as a second controller allowing you to play 2 player games on tv with just one controller and a vita as second cotroller 😉
The idea of having the vita handheld as controller for vita tv seemed kinda strange at first, but it is actually a very good idea, as it would be an “official way” of having a kind of tv-out for the vita handheld.
VITA won’t beat DS 3/4 as a controller but would allow a substantial part of the VITA back catalogue to be playable on VITA TV. As it is now the compatibility list for VITA TV is short and missing some important games.
it’s great that the device still gets some love. i am really hoping for an international release at this point.
