One of the most admittedly underrated features of the PlayStation Portable, remote play, is reportedly coming to the PS Vita.

Remote Play allows you to remotely control your PlayStation 3 like access music, videos, photos and even play games (as longs as your connection can keep up). The feature works by uploading actions performed on the PSP to the PlayStation 3 while streaming back a live stream of the output image on the PlayStation 3, downscaled to the PSP’s native resolution.

According to Eurogamer’s report, a future PlayStation 3 firmware update will allow the PS Vita mirror the PSP’s current remote play feature set, upscaled to the Vita’s native resolution of 960 x 544. The downside is that older titles might limited to the PSP’s 480 x 272 resolution as they we’re specifically coded with the older portable console in mind.

If you’re wondering how well remote play works on the Vita, below is a demo of Killzone 3 played on the Vita using remote play:

Remote Play is also available on Sony Vaio computers using a proprietary program that comes preinstalled with your purchase.
