Vita remote play

I was pleased to read in the faq that fdev are gonna support remote play as I reckon it would work great with some of the grind on this game :)

I just wanted to post a plea to the devs though as while some games work great on vita the majority don't due to poorly thought out controls :(

Skyrim, fallout 4 and destiny are good examples of games that work well where games like horizon are terrible :/

It all comes down to the touchpad controls needed to replace the missing triggers and thumbsticks buttons.
Most devs use the rear touchpad to replace them which doesn't work very well as it isn't very accurate and it's easy to accidently activate it :( the games that work best use the front touchscreen which is much more accurate and natural :)

The front screen can handle five contact points, all four corners and the middle and would suit the current xbox controller setup of throttle (lower corners) and alt flight look mode on the upper corners with the centre free for galaxy map :)

The rear pad isn't too bad as two contact points ( left and right) so could still be activated for us to bind whatever controls we wanted or to navigate the galaxy map.

Sorry for the long winded post but I've seen far too many great games made unplayable via remote play so hopefully elite won't be another one!

Cheers :)
 
Try fallout or skyrim :) I posted this sat in bed having a brew whilst on skyrim lol :) it can work really well! Just a shame some devs don't use it to its potential :(

Fingers crossed! :)

Just had a quick look and the front screen only has one point, all the other buttons are on the rear touch pad so no vita play for me :(
 
As long as I can use remote play to stock up in the station for PowerPlay grind whilst I am at work i'll be happy!

I kept on asking for this to be incorporated with the (now unavailable) mobile app, precisely so we could stock up on PP materials whilst away from a gaming machine.

Never even got a response.

The mobile app was never developed and is (I understand) not available now - although I can still log in on my old iPhone which can run the version I installed on it a while back - possible hope for the future?
