New PS Vita firmware update introduces 'PS4 Link' mode

4.6
A new firmware update for the PS Vita adds an application introducing PlayStation 4 remote play to the device.

PS4 Link will allow users to play the console's games remotely on the handheld where supported, and will also facilitate second screen gameplay.

System update 3.00 also introduces parental controls, which allows users to manage what software can be accessed on the handheld, as well as the duration of a single play session.

Meanwhile, a Panoramic Camera setting has been added to the camera mode.

Other small changes are also introduced, including improved friends management, and the ability to transfer data between the Vita and PS3 via Wi-Fi.

PlayStation 4 releases November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe and Australia.

Sony recently unveiled a new, slimmer line of PS Vitas. The handheld has an LCD screen and increased battery life.

I'm sure you can find one for a good price on craigslist.

Has anyone linked their vita with the PS4 now that it has come out?
I would love to know if it is any good or their is to many bugs to be worked out.

TywinPosted:

It makes sense that they are able to link together since they are both from Sony.
I won't be getting the PS4 nor do I have the Vita so this won't concern me.

While its going to be picking up with the release of the PS4 i still feel that it is lacking in the games department. Hopefully this will change in the coming year or so
