Yeah it does. The Vita also uses the touch screen function to control the game. So pressing left on the screen will throw a grenade, whilst pressing right will melee and the middle to bring up your ghost. Up until last week I was using my Xbox One, but purchased a PS4 for the vita remote play (my wife went mental at me buying another console!) As people of said it's good for a causal sorry mission, but the controls aren't good enough for a raid or nightfall. The Vita just isn't that comfortable for adult hands. I've seen handle add ons you can buy on Amazon to make it more usable, so I might give them a try. At the moment I use it on my lunch break to grab some bounties from the Tower and maybe do a crucible match or 2. Basically it works great in terms of quality and connectivity, handheld gaming has come along way since my Atari Lynx, but the controllers of the vita aren't quite there yet.

It does. The shoulder buttons are the left and right sections of the screen and the touch pad is the centre section. Works ok once you get used to it. Did have a few issues with dropouts over Internet but as long as you're farming or some other low intensity activity it's not bad.
