PS4 Remote Play for PC to be official, adds Mac to list as Sony teases new remaster and ‘Disaster Report’ coming

Earlier, an unofficial fan-created app has allowed PS4 Remote Play on the PC. The revelation had been well-received by fans, a lot of which have been asking how this could be applied to their respective PS4.

Now, Sony has officially announced the feature for the PC and Mac. Sony’s own Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that a team is already working on an app to make this possible, Engadget reported. This adds to devices that PS4 players can use to enjoy games. Previously, the Remote Play feature has been made available for the PS Vita, the PlayStation TV and Sony Xperia phones.

This does make the unofficial app redundant, especially since the developer had been planning to charge US$10 (approx. AU$14) for the app. However, it does do well for PS4 players who want to play games on other devices beyond the console.

Apart from the games, there are two titles coming to the PS4. The first is remaster for “Demon’s Souls” for the PS4. Since the earlier “Dark Souls” titles have seen their remasters once the Xbox One and PS4 have been released, and a “Dark Souls” title is already set for launch, the remaster for the 2009 title is also hinted, MCVUK reported.

The report is based on a tweet from the “Bloodborne” account. An image pertaining to the new Old Hunters Edition also includes a “Demon’s Souls” title at the very top. The source now suggests a possible PlayStation Experience announcement.

Another anticipated title that has been for the PS4 is the “Disaster Report” followup in the series. The game is now in the hands of developer Granzella instead of the original developer Irem, Forbes reported.

The first three titles from “Disaster Report” or “Zetta Zetsumei Toshi” in Japan, had been received well in both Japan and western territories. This is mainly due to how the survival game plays on a different kind of fear and threat. “Disaster Report” has set itself apart from other survival games by making the environment the player’s enemy.

The premise puts the player in the middle of a city in Japan following an earthquake. It becomes a realistic when the player faces the threat of collapsing buildings or dangerous unstable grounders.

Given the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, however, developer Irem veered away from this type of games. However, Granzella has gone back to the drawing board with the project, as seen in the trailer below.

This game now appears to be a reboot for the PS4. For now, the trailer is the most that the developer has released, so fans need to be on standby for the release date and additional information.
