Listen, I get it, sometimes the TV is just inaccessible. Whether it's your wife watching The Voice, or your grandma getting her fix of House of Cards, you don't always have access to that gorgeous big TV in your living room. Thankfully, consoles like the Wii U with their gamepad, and the PS4 with Remote Play have fixed this. And while I can't personally fathom someone trying to play a game like Bloodborne on a tiny screen that's streaming through their in-home wifi, the devs at From Software have certainly tried their best to somehow make it work.
The PlayStation Blog outlined how Remote Play with Bloodborne would work, given that the game makes full use of the DualShock 4. Other games have adapted pretty well, and it looks like Bloodborne will too.
- The L2 and R2 buttons, which are used for your Gun and Strong attacks, will be mapped to the bottom corners on the front touchscreen.
- The Touchpad, which is used for gestures and personal effects, tied to each half of the touchpad, will be mapped to the front touchscreen, also to their respective sides of the touchscreen.
- And lastly, R3, which locks on to enemies, will be mapped to the right half of the rear touchpad.
While it won't replace the preciseness of the DualShock 4, it is a pretty good solution for times when you want to use Remote Play.
And you don't have to wait that long to find out how it works, since Bloodborne launches next week, on 3/24/15.
