But since it doesn’t offer the same buttons as a DualShock 4, things get kind of weird sometimes. It’s not without fault, but it works pretty well.įor the most part, the Nimbus is rock solid. I tested Remote Play with the SteelSeries Nimbus, and let me tell you: that provides a much better experience. Since you can’t use the DualShock 4, it’s the best answer here. It’s bad enough on the iPhone, where the smaller display makes things a bit more manageable, but try using Remote Play on the iPad, and it’s far worse. With Remote Play’s touch controls, however, they’re just kind of floating above the D-Pad, making them basically unusable in tandem with other buttons. Those are on top of the DualShock 4, so you use your index and middle fingers to use them. The layout is incredibly awkward, especially for the L1/LR and R1/R2 buttons. Even steering this boat, which is pretty simple, is awkward with touch controls.įor one, they’re not ergonomic. When you have to hit combinations of buttons in succession (or altogether) to execute the proper move, touch controls just don’t cut it. Playing games like God of War or Red Dead Redemption 2-you know, games with complex control schemes-is an utterly terrible, almost unplayable experience with Remote Play.
It may come as no surprise, but Remote Play on iOS is no different.
Typically speaking, touch controls for action games are pretty terrible, especially when those game were designed with game controllers in mind. I want to talk a little bit about that now because that’s a core part of the Remote Play experience on iOS. The solution here (on Sony’s end, anyway) is to offer touch controls on iOS.
