PS4 only OR PS4 & Vita together???

By that I mean are you content with having JUST the PS4 version and using it for remote play for your Vita needs...

OR, have you already bought the Vita version (w/ plans to still buy the PS4 version) because you don't plan on using remote play that often, as well as for the times when you're far away and or don't have any access to your PS4 and the remote play option???

For me, I CANNOT for the life of me decide and it's bugging me!! I've played all previous Vita versions of The Show and absolutely loved them all. I've also read that w/ the exception of a few frame-rate problems here & there, the Vita version of MLB 14 is as always really good with more than a couple of various improvements (the new QC, better sounds, some new animations, new camera views, better batting controls, etc. etc. etc.).

As far as remote play, I've yet to really use it enough to be able to judge whether it will be a good enough substitute for owning the actual Vita version of the game. However I do realize that some PS4 games work better than others when controlled/remote played through the Vita. Though I would assume that a game like MLB The Show would indeed work just fine using remote play/Vita's controls... videogame baseball is rather slow-paced and therefore not as complex as say, a FPS like BF4 would be (according to some people it IS difficult to control using the Vita).

My Internet connection/speeds are fine and are perfectly capable of providing a mostly lag-free remote play experience. So that's not a problem whatsoever. I'm simply wondering what all of you other MLB The Show fans are doing if you're in the same situation I am in?? Are you fine with ignoring the Vita version this year because of how awesome remote play is... are you buying both versions and then using the Vita version for when remote play is not an option... otherwise meaning you're choosing to use remote play as much as possible when you need/want to play The Show on your Vita???

I look forward to hearing about what all the other baseball nuts are doing?!?!
And btw Happy NEW Baseball season to everyone!!!
I wish good luck to every team (no I don't)

Re: PS4 only OR PS4 & Vita together???

PS4 & Vita for me but I want a physical copy of the Vita with me while I'm at work because, if my house burns down while I'm trying to get in a game while I'm at work, I don't want that to interfere with me trying to get said game in.

Happy Baseball!

Remote play for me. Vita version was not even on par last year, imagine once I've played PS4 version.

Not even buying Vita version anymore , feeling like playing a PS2 version of the show.

Re: PS4 only OR PS4 & Vita together???

^^^

You see that's the BIG reason right there that has stopped me from buying the Vita version. I realize that it won't ever be as good as the console versions (especially the upcoming PS4 version), but otoh I do still like the idea of having the choice if a certain need arises... for ex., being away from home and not having ANY access at all to my PS4 and its remote play feature. Like the 2nd poster stated, "what if my house burns down while I'm away?"

And not only that but I've read about a few little worthy upgrades to this year's Vita version. Things like added animations, better sound effects, slightly improved batting/throwing mechanics and a few others I can't remember right now... they all make it seem like buying the Vita version this year isn't completely pointless. And who knows, this may be the last year I buy the Vita version? The remote play feature might work so well on the Vita that there will hardly be any need for a stand alone Vita version ever again (speaking for PS4 & Vita owners)?!?

What I want to avoid here is to buy the Vita version (wasting money & time) only to hardly ever get any use out of it if indeed the remote play feature works wonders?!?! Simply put, I'm stuck

Re: PS4 only OR PS4 & Vita together???

I'm getting the Vita version and will most likely get the PS4 version if not on day 1 then shortly after, now that saves are transferrable there may not be a huge rush to get the console version, for me anyway. I do alot of traveling and time away from home so the Vita version is a must for me, its more then suitable, and then when I am at home I can just pick up on my PS4 where I left off while away, this is a dream come true for a fan like me.

Re: PS4 only OR PS4 & Vita together???

I've put some thought into this as well. I've managed to hold off buying the new Vita version for now and I'm still playing my Vita version of MLB 13.

I think once the PS4 version comes out, I'll just use remote play when I need it...I don't travel too much. If for some reason remote play doesn't work well, I may pick up a copy of MLB 14 for the Vita, and it might even be found for cheaper by then. There's really nothing wrong with MLB 13 anyway.

A part of me is also hoping that by MLB 15, they'll come back to adding some presentation features to the Vita version. A man can dream...
