is there any hard reason i'm missing as to why the ps4 doesn't have a vita emulator on it.

a vita can literally play almost the entire ps4 and psvita library if you have a ps4 and a pstv hooked up to a computer monitor

but a ps4 hooked up to that monitor can only play ps4 games

and the drat vitatv won't pass audio through a controller's headphone jack

its probably why the wii u doesnt have a 3ds emulator on it. well, nintendo makes a lot more on the 3ds, but the point is they want you to pay money for the system

ps4 remoteplay requires you to own a ps4, they could require some kind of bullshit ds4 continuous authentication every 30 seconds but still let me play and hear the vita games i've bought :(

Wait what is this? A loving cable TV package for the Playstation?

edit: ...why?

Because gently caress Comcast that's why. Anything that competes with the handful of cable companies that have a stranglehold on television in the US is fine by me.

It's a streaming video service. It's just using a cable-like bundling model.

But I mean, does it have a bunch of idiotic channels that you will never watch but have to pay for and 15 minute commercial breaks every ten minutes and stuff like normal cable TV?

Remote Play is not emulation. It's not even close to it. All it is is the PS4 doing the work and sending video to the Vita, while the Vita transmits button inputs.

Also you can't just straight emulate an entire console, because some games are just shoddily coded in a "that will do" way for the specific hardware. Stuff with Vita and PS4 releases are specifically coded that way.

Seeing it mentioned here reminded me I wanna try Shadows of Mordor again now that I've finished Deus Ex; didn't dislike it on my first attempt but I don't think I really understood either the combat or the orc stuff. Wasn't too far in and then got the itch to try Bloodborne again with led to DS1 and 2, so I'm just gonna start from scratch.

Game trailers turned into Easy Allies after their closing. their new set up is budget as gently caress. i think they scrape by on patreon donations now. they still employ huber which kinda sucks a lot cause he's really lame but they also still employ bosman so it balances out.

All the porn is just 360 video so if they update the media player, maybe? Also VR porn is bad and if you buy a HMD to watch porn you will be disappointed
