Man, sounds like remote play is going to be REALLY easy to implement - hopefully widely so as well!

A Few Last-Minute Bits of PlayStation 4 Info

The early reviews of Call of Duty: Ghosts--including mine--mentioned that the PlayStation 4 version of the game suffers from occasional frame rate issues. For me, it usually showed up whenever there were a lot of particle effects on screen, but it'd pop up at random, too. I'm told that Infinity Ward is working on a patch to correct the performance issues. As our review currently doesn't apply to the PS4 version of the game--I want to play that and the Xbox One version on real multiplayer servers before assigning it a number--I'm going to see if that patch makes its way live this week and see if it helps. Currently, I'd call it a toss up between the Xbox One and PS4 versions--the Xbox One version has a smoother frame rate, but I'd rather play the game on a Dual Shock 4. Getting that frame rate pegged would definitively swing things in the PS4's direction, even over the PC version, which is sort of a mess. Of course, we're talking about minor differences in a game that has much more significant issues than mere frame rate, so you probably shouldn't take any of this as a ringing endorsement of the release without reading my review first.

Remote Play seems to work. We spoke with members of the Assassin's Creed IV team while demoing the game on a Vita and they claim it only took them a day or two to get Remote Play working. For the most part, the experience was fine on the Vita, though I saw a few video glitches. Since the Vita is missing some of the Dual Shock 4's control options, one set of triggers is mapped to the left and right sides of the rear touch panel and the bottom corners of the screen are used for L3 and R3. This seems like a fine way to solve the control issues. I can't really see myself using this feature too often, but if you're one of those people who has to fight with others for control of a TV in your household, this could be a nice way to compromise.
