A PS5 console or PS4 console is required for Remote Play.

Only on Playstation PS4 bundle includes a Jet black 1TB PS4, matching Dualshock4 Wireless Controller, God of war, the last of US remastered, and Horizon Zero Dawn: complete Edition games. It is a new beginning for Kratos. The tarball includes a copy of FFmpeg 2.8.5 (the latest at this date), so you don't need to fetch it separately. Just like 1.2, this version will not work with current FFmpeg master branch, nor with the upcoming FFmpeg 2.9 (or 3.0, or whatever name will be chosen).

With Remote Play, you can control your PlayStation® console remotely wherever you have a high-speed internet connection.
Using the [PS Remote Play] app, you can control your PlayStation®5 console or PlayStation®4 console from a device in a different location.
For example, you can use a computer in another room or a smartphone* when you’re out to enjoy PS5™ and PS4™ games.
