One question: can you copy the game to your PSP and play it natively, too?

Given the advantages the PS3 version of Re-armed has over the 360, I'm glad I have both. Will definitely pick this one up on PS3.

Yeah for sure Groodle. I might be just a tad less forgiving. The remote play gaming is still extremely enjoyable however. I also put SoTN on my Hard Drive so I could make sure its always available for me no matter what is in the drive :)

I doubt I'll notice the difference on textures anyway.

Oops, by "that way", I meant "Remote Play of a game stored on the hard drive"

I haven't tried a PS1 disc game via remote play, but I've played countless hours of Castlevania: SOTN that way..

I certainly have had lag here and there, but never long enough to be any kind of issue. I put up with thousands of hours of lag in Socom and Socom 2 (before they shit the series out of infected assholes to create Socom 3), so maybe I'm just more forgiving, as long as it doesn't kill the gameplay or viewing experience.

Yeah, already optimized the settings for the least amount of lag. My connection speed is excellent as well connection via the internet from faraway locations. You can alleviate much of the lag, but I was just saying that the way its implemented there will always be a miniscule amount of lag.

Have you gotten Remote Play to be completely Lag Free? Like you were playing a PS1 game directly on the system. If you did, please tell me your secret, as nobody I know has a perfect connection. To be honest I don't think a completely lag-free session is possible without being able to buffer commands.

Anyway I use remote play mostly for watching movies or listening to music and that works like a dream.

um you know on the ps3 your friends can still send you a message saying ... wanna play so and so, while in game.. and you get a pop up with that header... so you know what they want to play... and you do get pop ups that tell you when friends sign on and off

willskate4free

Have you checked your connection settings? You're able to tone down the resolution and/or up the response speed, which should help on laggier connections.

Groodle

Even with the best connections (say even connected directly to the PS3) there is still a small amount of lag. This lag could potentially interrupt games like BC. I have tested many PS1 games and they all show these symptoms. I believe even Kotaku mentioned something of this when they were reporting on playing PS1 games via Remote Play. A good wireless connection helps, but it won't alleviate all problems unless Sony figures out a way to buffer commands.

Regardless this functionality needs to be more mainstream.

This is like icing on a cake made of sex.

VileMethoD

Yeah, I know the game itself doesn't have online play. I'm just saying that I like to be able to see if one of my friends logs on and wants to play something other than Bionic Commando together. Some people probably find that as useless as I find remote play, but it's an important feature to me.

I didn't say the 360 BC:R was going to be the "mentally retarded gimped version."
I was stating that it will be subject to mentally retarded arcade restrictions, when the PS3 version isn't *AND* will have extra content.

I'm sure both games will look pretty similar and play the same, but obviously one will have more than the other. For people who have only a 360, like me, and have no plans on getting another console, the XBLA version will be just fine.

And, when one console gets features the other doesn't, I believe it is appropriate to acknowledge their significance.
I wasn't bashing the 360, just its *mentally retarded* policy on restricting several games from just Capcom alone, and possibly others (I hope Vigilante 8 doesn't face this issue as well).

I'm still barely leaning towards the 360 version due to access to my friends list and achievements. I have zero use for remote play, so this hasn't really tipped the odds for me. I'll need to see just how different the versions look when they come out though, and since the 360 version will definitely have a free trial, that will most likely be the one that I play first.

shipwreck

I don't care about remote play but I'll be getting the PS3 version for the better graphics. I honestly don't even think they'll be significantly better but I'm not a fan of Microsoft's arbitrary size limit. There's just no good reason for it, and I refuse to support stupidity :p

And no, you can actually power up the PS3 using the PSP no matter where you are (again, provided you have a wifi connection where you are). I tested it in the hotel I was staying at in Costa Rica, and it activated my PS3 in Toronto.

I honestly wonder if anybody with both systems is going to get the XBLA version now...this is really good news.

Archaotic

come on dude, you dont have to say "mentally retarted gimped version."

In fact, this is about remote play not LOLAZ PS3 ROXz XBLA SUXS thread.

so just leave that out and have a discussion about what the blog inteded to do.

thanks.

There's a setting under Remote Play Options that will allow your PS3 to go into a kind of sleep mode, so it's powered off but can be awakened when you trigger the remote play from anywhere.

The benefit of remote play is to access some games, all movies, all music, and all photos that are either stored on your PS3 or streamed from your PC to the PS3, from any internet connection on the world, via your PSP.

Example: I have last season's Lost episodes on my PC, shared to my PS3. If I'm stuck in an airport, I can access all of those and watch them on my PSP as long as I have a wireless connection. Same with all PS1 games, some downloaded PSN games, and very, very few PS3 games.

Groodle

With all this great PS3 news, I can't wait until June to pick up the MGS4 80BG PS3 bundle (with backwards compatibility, I hope)!

Arttemis

3rd party devs, but it's Sony published. So not fully 3rd party.

@eastx: It let's you stream games and movies that are on your PS3 to your PSP. So, if your GF wants to watch Dexter, and you want to play Monsters, you both can be happy. Pro Tip: All your old PS1 discs can RemotePlay, ergo, all PS1 games are portable if you have a PS3, PSP and a hotspot.

If every single screen shot ever released for SSBB is news, than so is this.
