PS VITA Remote Play: What do you think it will be like?

It will look something like this but smaller:

I can poop and gather at the same time.

I highly doubt that the ps vita will cause additional internet lag. The video stream/connection will likely be over your router via wireless and most routers are capable of transfer rates way higher than typical internet connections. For example the average wireless router these days is capable of 300+ mbps transfer rates over wireless-n which is what ps4 and vita use as far as I know. The typical internet connection is about 5-100 mbps depending where you live and FFXIV uses much less bandwidth than 5mbps (I know because I don't lag on my 3mbps rural internet connection).

No, transfer rates doesn't really effect latency(lag in other words)... Wireless connection by itself adds a bit of latency and "edit:" data first needs to be processed/rendered/prepared/streamed back to Vita by PS4. At worst case scenario you can get +100ms extra latency and that's quite a bit.

Yeah that's pretty much what I mean, I would be surprised if it even added 10ms extra latency to be honest. The wireless router I'm connected to right now has a <1ms response time. If you're getting much latency from this you probably have a bad router or wireless nic.

Everything needs to be processed, rendered, prepared and streamed back to Vita by PS4, this adds majority of extra latency. It is not just simple data transfer(clarified in my original post). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56jWj1Vwmu0

There is definitely lag between the systems. ACIV is playable, and I have never had any issues in story mode, but I can still tell there is a delay. I would never play online with the vita because of this. I anticipate gathering/crafting, and perhaps menial solo stuff will be the only real viable option. At least early on.

And this...

ive been using splashtop streamer to play this game from work over the internet. 30mbps up/down at work 10mpbs up/down at home and its almost 1-1 in terms of response/latency. so i dont think it would affect vita in anyway since its going to be on wifi.

It will be a lot like my Nvidia Shield ;-)

There is a very small delay with remote play if you compare it with the TV side by side, but i doubt itll really make a big difference in overall lag. Ill try it but i doubt ill like it much. Playing on Vita is pretty uncomfortable, when youre trying to simulate the dualshock with it.

[Quiz]

Did they ever confirm it CAN be done through the internet? When sony first announced it, they said on ps4 games it would be done locally through your router ONLY. Not sure if it has changed since then, because I have no interest in using my vita for anything they've shown off.
