Hi. Been a while since I posted. Apologies if there's already a thread on this, but I can't work out how to search the forum anymore.

I've been looking at buying one of the PS Vita grips with the L2/R2 and L3/R3 additional controls for use with PS4 remote playing.
These range from the very expensive and illusive Hori brand ones, to the desirable Japanese alternative models, to finally the cheap Chinese variants which take a long time to arrive, if they ever do. The Chinese ones look alright, but I've been stung before with purchases.

I've instead decided to consider only playing certain games that don't require additional fingers to reach the top of the front and rear touch screen.

I imagine slower games would work well, but can anyone recommend PS4 games that they feel play well without finger gymnastics?
I'm hoping for current gen (or PS3 remaster) titles. I already have a number of classic PSX and PSP titles on the Vita memory card itself.

There was probably nobody awake when I posted this, this morning.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Why two threads?

I got a 504 error when posting, so posted again. I wasn't sure if deleting one would do both, so I left it and then set the empty one to my favourites.

I'll find the other. Thanks for replying if you did.

I spent so long writing the message, I thought it timed me out, so I resent it. My mistake.

PS4 games I've played recently which control well on Vita include Rayman Legends, The Talos Principle, and Gris. All have simple controls, have gameplay which doesn't require micro-second timing, and work well in short bursts.

I tend to prefer remote play on the PC these days, largely because I now have a decent home office setup (thank you Covid-19!), and because of the ability to use a controller.

However I find remote play to still generally be a bag of unreliable shite unfortunately - been through every single tip, and continue to get random stability at all times of day and with any level of network traffic, wired network or optimised wifi channel, etc. etc. I even bought a CAT 7 cable for the PS4 to see if it'd help.

I'm really hoping they nail it for PS5. Heard good things about the Xbox equivalent.

I know what you mean about the unreliability of remote play.
I think I'd be constantly trying to save my progress in case of a crash.
