Remote Play uses WiFi, not your internet connection.

Shu Yoshida already gave a reason during his presentation. If you can't use the TV because other people are watching a TV show, like your kids or significant other, you can still play your PS4 game on your Vita elsewhere in the house like out in the garden or in your bedroom.

You won't buy a Vita just for this but its a useful feature none the less.

“We made and tested a ridiculously broad style of controllers,” Cerny said, “and we would actually have people play games with them. And the current controller design came out of that. We did indeed conclude that the two joysticks on the same level works perfectly well. That did come out of our testing.”

But Cerny noted that the testing didn’t stop with consumers. “We sent out prototypes to major FPS creators. We looked at the top-selling titles, if they were people we could talk to, we began sending over a stream of controllers. And we would ask them things like concavity or convexity, or trigger pressure, or trigger location, or accuracy, or the like.”

What? The hardware is all done, the OS is done, and games are being released for it. All of the other stuff is extra goodies that can be patched in. Why not release it? If they held the console back for software features, they would have to hold it back indefinitely as new ideas come to them.

It screams potential problems for early adopters both systems do, i'm just not up for that atm.

On February the 22nd 2014 Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will enter its beta testing phase on PS4 (and those that already bought the PS3 version will get the PS4 version for free), but how will it run and how good will it really look? According to Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida, it’ll run really well and look great, as he shared today in an interview on Game Watch.

Yoshida-san explained that the PS4 version of the game will have a visual fidelity equivalent to the current highest PC setting, and that it’ll run in 1080p resolution at 60 fps, unlike the PS3 version that is limited to 720p and 30 fps. It will also display the same number of characters on screen as the PC version.

It’s worth mentioning that he didn’t mention if the PS4 version will run at 60 FPS stably or will just get there when there isn’t much crowd. A stable 60 FPS framerate would be a quite amazing feat, considering that at the moment you need a rather beefy PC to keep the framerate locked there in the most crowded situations.

That said, he clarified that a DirectX 11 version of the PC client is currently in development, and while the PS4 version will use some of the new DirectX 11 features, it won’t use them all.

I would be beyond overjoyed if 60fps became a console standard.
