![]() And path of exile just came out, sat my couch in my living room and slayed some monsters. It’s great for doing menu work in fallout 76, I played the witness for several hours in bed. It’s nice being in the kitchen and while I’m making food or laying in bed, I can access my game from my phone and doddle around. This is a super exciting little gadget, our household doesn’t watch tv so the entertainment equipment has a separate room upstairs. I strongly recommend downloading PSRemotePlay if you have playstation now because it is worth the money especially if your still a Gamefly customer. This is the best thing I have ever experienced besides VR but just the ease and functionality of it has impressed me tremendously. Last night I decided to try out the remote play just to see if it was all the hype that I heard about being able to use the PS4 DualShock controller with a MacBook, all I can say is bravo Sony once again for blowing my mind. I got tired of it and canceled my subscription and a couple of months later I signed up for playstation now which is way cheaper than Gamefly’s advertised price for just one game out at a time. GameFly has always and I mean always been slow with their shipping of games and even worse not sending the right game when a new release was coming out. I have to say I was a sceptic at first with the playstation now service being a GameFly customer for so many years but there is one thing that I noticed and I’m glad I made the switch. Overall, PSRemotePlay works great as a way to play simple arcade or basic controlled games and is a nice remote, but not ideal for playing FPS or more robust games where you need better hand eye coordination. ![]() As PSRemotePlay was just released this morning, I'm sure there are lots more features and functionality planned as the technology evolves. The quality and framerate is amazing if you have a 100mbs+ internet connection from both host and target networks. The chat function works great, but it would be a nice feature addition to use it for only chat with no game audio or video. ![]() But as for using it to control apps and services. I have not yet tested an external BT controller, so I might see if it has this functionality at a later time. The controls disappeared after a few seconds and I ended up pressing outside the button boundaries. After attempting to give it a test with Apex Legends, I came to the realization that I simply cannot press all the buttons needed at the same time when under combat. PSRemotePlay has a lot of potential for the future. In the PS4 remote play app reduce the graphics settings ( not required but just in case ) and try to connect to your PlayStation that is in REST MODE at home from work, this will take 2-4 failed connections if your PS4 is not on Ethernet n is below 60% Wifi signal strength, but it should work afterwards running as smoothly as if the PlayStation was right in front of you at work. And the part no one told me about not even google is that at the second location (work ) find the ip address your phone is using, go into the Wifi admin ( if you don’t have access then hope the default password is set on the Wifi admin which is user : admin, password : password, might be different for other people) once in the settings enable DMZ mode and put in the private IP address you found for your mobile phone ) Seems I’ve found the issue to why the remote play wasn’t working away from home when I’m at work, for those having issues, make sure your router is in AP mode ( if you have both modem n router ) also google the ports that need to be forwarded for Ps remote play and set up port forwarding on your home admin Wifi, give your PS4 a static IP that is available to prevent it from changing when you restart your PS4 before setting up port forwarding, disable PS vita network settings( causes some issues).
