PS Vita to get HD Collections via Remote Play

PS Vita owners will soon be able to play titles like God of War and Shadow of the Colossus on their handheld console, thanks to a new Remote Play application announced by Sony.

The downloadable application enables users to interact remotely with a PlayStation 3, using the PS Vita handheld and a Wi-Fi connection.

The updates for Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection and the God of War Collection can each be downloaded for free, and will allow the HD collection games to be played on the Vita through Remote Play.

The application also enables users to access music, videos and photos stored on their PS3, using the PS Vita.

Earlier this year, Sony confirmed that the PlayStation Vita had sold 2.2 million units.

Big-name projects headed to the PS Vita include the previously announced Assassin's Creed III: Liberation and Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified, as well as the new Killzone: Mercenary.
