GT6 With PS Vita Remote Play/Cross-Controller Compatibility

[skyhawk71]

I have recently thought of an idea that GT6 on PS3 could have if it's ever released. I have recently hopped back on my PS Vita after some time, and thought of something:

GT6 with Vita Remote Play/Cross-Controller Compatibility:

Being able to use the Vita as a controller, but with an additional feature. My proposal consists of PD releasing a free app for the Vita that allows it to connect to GT6, which will then allow the Vita to act as a controller, but also have the screen on the Vita act as an info display.

Such things will include:
-Changing info displayed using the "Select" button on the Vita.
-One screen displays tachometer, speed, gear, boost gauge (turbocharger), and car status (tires and fuel).
-2nd screen shows Map, along with lap times, position, and laps.
-The Touchscreen can also be used to change info on the screen.

I know the idea might get bashed by Vita haters, but this is a feature that will be entirely optional! I came up with this idea, thinking about how the Vita can act like the displays on F1 wheels.

I brought this idea here to get some feedback from the general GT community. All feedback is welcomed!

We only need one Wii U....

But I'll say yes, not going to take away other's enthusiasm for a feature that will be optional.

Entirely optional maybe but it would require an awful lot of development time, time that could be better spent on other non-gimmicky features.

You're right. It would take them a long time to program it, but it's just a proposal. I highly doubt they'll even consider this.

Using the Vita as a gauge cluster or a rear view mirror would be utterly fantastic. It may seem gimmicky, but having the option would likely drive a lot of creativity with the cockpit modders on this website and beyond.

Could you imagine a triple screen T500rs set up with button boxes, tactile transducers, off screen gauges and separate rearview mirror? It'd be expensive, but glorious!

I'd buy a vita just for this feature (if I get the ps4+gt6 instead of 720+forza5)

I like your idea there! And thanks for the positive feedback, I'm glad you like it!

I'd love to see something like this, although I am somewhat biased being a vita owner

Sounds like copying Wii U to me...

It's a "No, no" for me... I'd rather buy a wheel a than PSVita...

Wasn't the PSP and GTP supposed to have this feature?

It it's a fantastic idea. The Vita could have many different functions:
Rear view mirror
HUD Functions
Tachometer and Speed
Pit request options
RA Functions
Button Box

Let's hope PD are thinking along the same lines as us.

I hope so as well! I'm glad people are expanding upon the idea.

Rear view mirror? Cool, idea!
Tachometer and speed? Cool, idea!
Track layout? Cool, idea!
