Remote Play

[alienMutha]

Will the PS3 version of BioShock support remote play on the PSP?

i don't even want to answer this... what do you think?

Aside from the lack of buttons available on the PSP in comparison to the Sixaxis/DualShock...it's POSSIBLE the do this, but quite unlikely. Aside from Lair there just doesn't seem to be much interest in supporting this feature...although I hear Bionic Commando Rearmed will!!

He is right. With the lack of buttons on the PSP it would just be too difficult to play.

I never heard of remote play for any games except for PS1 games??

Here's my thoughts, undoubtedly it will be too unresponsive to play well in heavy combat, but remember that you won't be playing properly on Remote Play, just for a little bit of fun. I can't believe it's much work to implement into the game, it won't have any effect on the game itself so why not include it? I own Lair and I have used remote play a few times and it's OK, it's not superb but like I said, it's fine for a little bit of fun. I perconally would love to play through the descent to Rapture on my PSP when I've got a spare few minutes as that it a wonderful sequence and doesn't require any complex controlling.

Not many games support this feature.
Also, being a port, chances are they wouldn't bother to add it.
I think the team is focusing on making the game run well, so that the game doesn't become just another bad port. Luckly for us, the 2K Marin team appears to be really taking this project seriously. That shows a great respect to the PS3 owners.

Some PSN games support it. The light games, like Elefunk. Not very many, though...

If the game, for some reason, does have it, it'll probably be only for mini games. Somewhat like the hacking. Again, that's only if, and I greatly doubt there'll be any remote play.

If they were to really bring it in as a feature that could be quite interesting, perhaps on Survivor mode you have to hack a device on the PSP, all the while gameplay carries on on your TV so you have to fight and hack at the same time. This would also mean that there would be more of a need for autohack tools as generally hacking isn't difficult at any point in the game.

See...I can go along with this. I remember prior to the PS3's launch they had talked about using the PSP as an extension of gameplay (ie., a rearview mirror for racing games, playbook for sports titles, etc.). Using the PSP as an external "ingame" device would be pretty awesome indeed!

I think M_B's got something....what if they were to have it as a minigame of hacking although I dont really see the psp being used for anything in bioshock as the control scheme would be complicated.
