    Well something had to come along and ruin my PS4 experience and to the shock of (probably) no one, it was ****ing EA

    FIFA 14 for me is just unplayable using remote play, the R2 button is apparently the upper corner of the backpad by the R button, only for me it isn't in fact no matter which area of the backpad i touch nothing in the game chances

    Is there anything out just now making use of the ps app second screen function ? Be interesting just to see it

    I'm not sure about games using it but you can use the second screen to draw items and flick them onto the screen for the playroom robots to play with

    Just tried remote play on CoD: Ghosts and it works, its functionally, its just seems to slow and a can't keep up

    Took me half a match to release the grenade icons where on the screen as well :blush:

    Remote play needs a little tweaking for FPS methinks.

    Need for Speed, AC4 and Injustice are brilliant on it!

    I don't think it's practical for fps games, I tried killzone this morning and I couldn't see who I was trying to shoot, fps need a 1:1 pixel ratio to be properly playable imo. However, I played Contrast and that was excellent on the vita, really good feature Sony have there.

    I don't know if the potential audience is big enough yet (how maybe people will own a PS4, Vita and an FPS/other online games FIFA etc.)

    But overtime perhaps games could start to make remote play exclusive playlists, so when i go online i'd only be playing against other people on remote play (if that is even possible)

    Its not really a problem that 'needs' to be solved but it would be nice to have the option, sometimes i'll want to play a few more matches but need to take my contact lenses out, remote play allows a solution just not a perfect one

    There is still no decent touch screen FPS, even on tablets.

    Yeah don't play an FPS on a handheld, native or remotely they just don't work. Too fiddly controls and if you are going to go online against normal console players forget it.

    However it can be playable if you want to go in the campaign or play bots on the lowest difficult.

    After further play, I can say I honestly prefer this to my Xbox One. The X1 is a great machine in its own right but I'll just be using that for the exclusives like Forza, Dead Rising, Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive etc and everything else will be PS4. It just feels like a higher quality product & easier to use.

    The voice commands work well too with the camera but the PQ is a million times better on Kinect

    Moving from a 360 I'm glad the PS4 has a smaller controller and no large power brick which I think XB1 has. PS4 has apps like Netflix and Iplayer and offers all that without it being a huge cable box. It's obvious an Xbox slim will come probably sooner rather than later.

    I have played it, but it was still fiddly despite being the best FPS and you don't compete against people using proper consoles and controllers.

    Im amazed at how little stressed the ps4 is. I mean you can be playing a game and instantly pop out to system and you wouldn't even know your game was still running. Just all seems seemless.

    Yeah it's a great feature.

    How does the "what's new" section work, all I see are my notifications, haven't seen anyone else's.

    Not sure. I don't see the point of not sharing. ...we're all in this together. I do still think it looks a little untidy though.

    Ps. I know the wii had it....but I love the controller having that speaker. Used properly that will bring great atmosphere to games.

    Its actually a very well thought out system. Not sure what I'd even change on it.
