According to a report from ign.com Sony has made a push to implement the remote play feature that was discussed at there press conference by making it mandatory for the developers to implement it in there games.
This is great news for the PS Vita because now it looks like it will work a lot like the Wii U'S gamepad. Now every game for the PS4 has to be compatible with the PS Vita. We don't know how this will work just yet like: Can we now play PS4 games on the go? Can I play the game while the PS4 is off? We don't know for sure yet, but I expect clarification form Sony about this at E3.

This does mean if this is true that the PS Vita will be much more appealing once the PS4 is out. This is great for Vita sense it has been struggling to find an audience after a few months on the market. If this is true I would suspect one of two things: A PS Vita and PS4 bundle at the PS4 launch ( this seems like this would be very expensive but maybe Sony can keep it at a low $500-$550 ) or a worlwide price cut for the PS Vita. Japan has already got a price cut for the PS Vita so it wouldn't be unlikely to see a worldwide price cut. Although it is worthy to note that Sony said they are losing money on Vita's in Japan because of the cut so there has to be some strong games released to make some money for Sony before they take a cut worlwide.
This can be viewed as a bad thing from a developers standpoint sense they now have to do more work but if programming for the PS4 and Vita is as easy as they made it out to be at the Sony press conference then it shouldn't be a problem. On the bright side this can make developers take a risk by implementing the Vita to create a different way to play or experience games like the Wii U'S gamepad does. This news is great for Vita fans and will hopefully push more people to buy the Vita as the PS4 draws near its release.
