There are a lot of games that use the back touchpad on the vita for button mapping for remote play. But I, for one, think that is a horrible way to play games because of how uncomfortable it is. Lets make a list of games that work really well for remote play.
Resogun- the controls are fully customize able, or the second controller config works really well too. It switches the R2 button (bomb) to X. You don't even need the awful back touchpad to play.
Merto Redux- You can switch the aim/fire buttons to R1/L1 so you can use the vita bumpers. And , instead of the back touchpad, you can use the 4 corners of the front touchscreen for L1L2/R1R2. Everything is responsive and works really well in both games.
Lords of the Fallen- The controls are already set for R1/L1 for attack and block so you don't even need to switch anything around. It uses the front touchscreen corners for the other buttons like Metro. Very easy game to remote play with.
Dust an Elysian Tail- the controls are great, simple for ps4 and vita remote play. It doesn't use the back touchpad so easy play here too.
Destiny- No matter your opinion of the game, it does support great remote play controls. No need for the back touchpad.
I tried playing DA Inquisition on remote play, but the back touchpad and the missing options to remap buttons make this game somewhat unpleasant for remote play.
If there are games that are great for remote play, and or horrible for remote play, list them here. Especially shooters since the L2 and R2 buttons are missing and can be awkward for remote play.
