![]() In fact, playing games designed for a big screen on your phone works surprisingly well. It looks goofy, but it's functional and comfortable, and aside from the phone occasionally slipping from the suction cup, I had no issues with the set-up. To make this work, Sony has released a small plastic contraption, sold separately for $39.99, that snaps on to the controller and features a suction cup-like mount that holds your phone in place. ![]() One of the key differences is that, in order to play on a phone or tablet, you'll need a Dualshock 4 controller (there's also the option to use virtual buttons overlaid on your phone's touchscreen, but it is awful and under no circumstances should you use it). This means that, just like with a Vita, your phone will need to be connected to the same local Wi-Fi network as your console. Remote Play on a phone works the same as on a Vita you’re not really running a PS4 game on a Z3, you're just playing a mirror image of whatever is on your console. When it works it's amazing, but the problem is that it doesn't work consistently. And there's an incredible thrill that comes from playing a game as big and vibrant as GTA V on a phone. That's changed now that Sony has opened up Remote Play to its Xperia Z3 line of smartphones and tablets. But it’s still incredibly niche: in order to use it, you need both a PS4 and a Vita. It was a largely forgotten feature last generation, and Sony has put a renewed effort into Remote Play with the PS4. The crazy part? I played all of them on a smartphone.Įver since the PS3, Sony has tantalized Playstation owners with the idea of Remote Play, which lets you stream console games to a mobile device so you can take games with you throughout the house. It was a great reminder of just how many awesome games came out this year. And I engaged in all manner of criminal activity in the new and improved Grand Theft Auto V. I whizzed through the whimsical world of Hohokum, nodding along to my favorite Tycho songs. I slowly crept through the dark hallways of Sevastopol Station in Alien: Isolation, holding my breath while a xenomorph stalked me through the vents. I've spent much of the past few days replaying my favorite games from 2014.
