I respect the self-dignity of not wanting to go into a public restaurant with full camera equiptment and film a youtube video. I feel like people are too comfortable nowadays :D
Not just gaming servers. Common to also block all non regular WWW stuff ports and protocols. Or more like allow only those. Which makes sense. McD probably don't want to get noticed for downloading the latest MCU. 😸
For those that don't know on Android phones (I'd guess that Apple phones have similar functionality) you can connect to the WiFi of the restaurant and then turn hotspot on. The portal then connect to your phone hotspot and you phone is connected to the restaurant WiFi. So the portal will be using the restaurant WiFi via your phone.
@@edulohay956 yeah essentially. The phone acts as a relay / proxy. All traffic would be going through your phone. Deepening on your phone most modern phones have incredible range. So your phone probably has better hardware than the Portal does. The main advantage in this use case would be to avoid the pop up T&C's to use the network on the portal. You still have to accept the agreement on your phone but Portal can just "share" your connection via the hotspot.
@@timsmyth7942 I hear what your saying and that's very true. However against the latency / lag you'll be experiencing using public WiFi I doubt adding the phone into the mix would even be perceivable.
I tried this on my Vita on a whim one day...didn't even need the McDonalds, could play the PS4 just fine from the phone's hotspot. Benefit of way smaller resolution 😂
Base or Pro? Although, you probably won't have any issues if it's wired, but I'm thinking it won't work very well of you have a base PS4 that can't do 5G Wi-Fi.
Not going inside those establishments isn't going to test the portal proper usage. Siting that far away makes no sense. Maybe try going inside without the camera equipment, then share the experience. I have taken my portal to all places you visited with the family, and it worked normally.
Yeah this was a bit odd. Not really putting it to the test when you’re still quite far away from the Wifi unless you actually go inside. Bit of a waste of an experiment, but connection would likely have been poor anyways.
Yeah this is kinda a disingenuous attempt. You’re literally saying “does this work in a situation nobody expects it to work in?” With that nice ass car he shoulda got car WiFi and tested it.
Give the guy a break. I wouldn't be caught dead entering a business to sit down with a Portal. I would feel obligated to buy something at every business. My ass would come home with: 3 Big Macs 2 lattes, 1 Applebees 2 for $25 meal, 1 Dunkin Doughnut (Boston Cream of course) 3 Doritos Locos Tacos 1 shovel from Lowes.
funny how this entire thing is kinda moot since you never just go inside to get the best signal but on the other hand i get it, i'd never be able to bring all that stuff inside and talk to myself either. also i've never heard of Mighty Taco and now i wish it was in Michigan.
yeah! It has its use cases. Especially if your PS5 is on a TV that other people use. I personally don't need 1 but I wont knock anyone trying to get some Returnal in their veins. Love that game! So underrated!
Welcome! He's the best RUclipsr in gaming by far, and even up in the best overall. Make sure to watch his documentary on PS3 vs Xbox 360 from a few years back. That one should go into the Library of Congress for how well it depicts one of the most tumbling eras of home electronic entertainment culture. The whole documentary is absolutely spectacular.
I found him years ago from his stellar Playstation 4 documentary and been a fan of his videos ever since. I love his calm demeanor and love for Platstation.
@@NeroMystyra Yes, a calm demeanor is what's sorely lacking in the digital landscape of today. There may be other channels that are also informative but I can't stand listening to WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY THIS IS AUSTIN or even worse. I'm a fan of Mystic, 8-bit Guy, Techmoan, Technology Connections and a few more. Common denominator is that they are all calm, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining without having to scream how people should come back to watch more next time.
I think I just had the best ad placement experience ever on RUclips. Right when Ryan connected at Taco Bell and said “Oh, we’re in!”, it switched to a mobile game ad. I was like, “This is the crappy game he chose?” before I realized it was an ad. lol.
I like the realistic view of “there’s no chance I’m going into tim hortons with a portal and camera equipment while talking to myself” 🤣 because for me if the drive thrus closed there’s a strong possibility I’m going somewhere else
Honestly been getting great results with my phone's hotspot. Plus I got a grandfather unlimited data plan that allows me unlimited hotspot. I'll probably stick to using it as a separate screen at home which is what it was intended to be but this update now allows a few more uses cases.
So weird to me seeing Dunkin and Tim Hortons in the same area. I know Timmies has US locations, but the only ones I’ve ever seen in person were in Bangor.
Lot of them left, we had three in the Twin Cities but they didn't open in the two years that I lived there and the two in Minot, ND also closed without really advertising or trying to maintain decent locations.
I'm so glad I spent an extra $200 and got an iPad mini instead of a Portal. A tablet that can do way more than just remote play and a paired Dualshock 4 controller is the way to go.
Thing is, even if they wanted it to, they probably can't. If it's going to be a handheld, it would have to be a Switch like device and that would compete against their own PS5 or future PS6. Switch works because that is Nintendo's only offering - Sony would have to make the PS6 the Switch copycat with a dock that somehow enhances the graphics immensely.
Because Sony and Nintendo both know that the market for making spinoffs on a separate handheld has died Your smartphone/tablet now has that market That's precisely why Nintendo left the market. Running PS5 games to console spec on a handheld is difficult, steamdeck can do it but the battery life is atrocious. Or do you go the Switch version and have low quality graphics for the sake of better battery life. It works for Nintendo because most of their first party games aren't graphic intensive. If you want to see a PS5 game ported to the switch, look at Mortal Kombat 1.
@@tylere.8436 - My response to you somehow disappeared, but it went along the lines of: PSP launched at the height of the PS2 as a dedicated handheld, and it still sold more than 80 million since it was supported properly. Handheld consoles and home consoles typically don’t compete with one another, but the Switch is the thin line between the two…AND it’s Nintendo’s only console in the market right now.
While I don't have a Portal I used remote play on my Laptop during my holiday. Like you said, hotel WiFi is really usable and even with my PS5 being around 3000km away, remote play worked really good in Norwegian hotels (Played mostly Honkai Star Rail and Persona 5).
You will probably get better results being inside these locations. Wifi will penetrate the building; however the access points were designed to be used by folks inside the buildings.
Lol, I'm a bit confused.... A PlayStation remote play handheld, didn't ship with public WiFi use? And they charged over £300 on launch did they not? It needed an update to be able to do that. Fuck me lol.
Hey, Mystic. I have a video idea for you. Can you do a video covering PS2 peripherals on a launch model PS3? I’m talking about using racing wheels for racing games such as NFS or Gran Turismo. PS2 Guitar controllers for Rock Band and Guitar Hero on PS2. Dance Dance Revolution dance pads. PS2 games that uses eye toy or USB mics. You can even go further with PS2 games that have PSP connectivity such as ATV Fury Pro. I think there are Naruto or DBZ games that do that as well. This is a topic that does not have a lot of information on even in 2024.
Yea im not playing games in public ever! Thats something ill do at home but on the train, a park, library, or wherever else im not even playing a game! When i was young with a ds i still didnt, only on roadtrips in the car, never in public
Literally just got an email from amazon saying my return has been processed for my portal that I returned two weeks ago after only having it for 5 days. I went and did all this without posting my experience to youtube and it was a bismal. I love that screen, I think it feels good in your hands but it's all downhill from there as soon as you power that stupid thing on.
i think this setup could work for some turn based games. Yu-Gi-Oh seems like a great option when your connection is that bad. Bloodborne and Returnal are super fast paced
Man the PS Portal must suck bad based on your experience because I was literally just on vacation in El Paso TX and I live in San Antonio I left my PS5 at home was at my buddies house on his wifi and was able to easily remoteplay my PS5 on my S24 Ultra with my Backbone OneController perfectly with little to no issue at all. I was able to play GTAV online with my buddy while he was on his PS5 on the TV right next to him while my PS5 was miles away back at home. I was able to complete multiple missions and hold my own with no problem what so ever. So I ask again what is even the point of the PS Portal when it sounds like a Smartphone with the Backbone One controller works better in nearly every instance?
Naaaaa Playing Video Games out in thr Public is thr Last Thing anyone of us should be doing right now.

We dont live in that kinda world for now. Awarenesses Is Everything right now.
Fair testing but Vita did it 10+ years ago. It's not hard phone hotspot or whatever network jumping. Wii U it's local to the Gamepad but regardless of console network access. Public may not be recommended but it is possible.
Hotels commonly have splash pages as well. would be surprised if it worked at one of those most have older tech. i demand the next one to be just all hotels and not nice ones just redroof inns and days inns
I don't know about NOW, but Lowe's Used to be a "AT&T Hotspot". I used it for 3DS to get special Miis. So I could see where Lowe's could be one of the best public WiFi out there.
Eh wifi is very finicky if you’re doing it the way Mystic goes about here. The wireless signals are having to go through a few pretty thick obstacles (glass/brick etc). These obstacles will attenuate the signal so much that it will only make it harder for your device to provide any semblance of a decent experience. Also, depending on the wireless deployment that you’re connecting to, maybe the Access Points are an older technology that don’t support things like MU-MIMO or 802.11ax. Which adds another layer to an already rough connection.
You dont need an internet connection at home to handshake, I think this is misunderstanding. Once u are paired with your ps5 its forever. You only need a non internet connected WIFI local network. There are videos showing this. Edit it seems an update may have disabled this.
Can you do an update testing it with your home WiFi? Especially after the updates the accessory looks more appealing to me because I mainly want to use it at home.
Ps portal is one of those products I don’t know who Sony made it for and why anyone would ever even consider buying it. Spend the extra cash and get a refurbished steam deck or a switch lite
Did he really not go to a Walmart? I’m a long-haul truck driver so I know from experience Walmarts generally have great Wi-Fi. Most of these places he’s going to you need to go inside for the Wi-Fi to work properly and he’s trying to do it from his vehicle? Walmarts have those Wi-Fi connection points all around the outside of the building, which is why they have great Wi-Fi from the parking lot.
I’ll try to make this brief. I hope it makes sense. My huge problem with SONY’s gaming “PlayStation Remote Play” APP for my wi-fi Apple iPad Pro, the SONY app (or the PS5 itself) can only connect to my high speed router wired connection over the internet, at a lower 50 Download, and 10 Upload. My home wired internet cable connection sends 400+ Download and 50 Upload. Both my WIRED PS4 and now my PS5, can only connect to the internet at a much lower speed, at all times. I can test my Cable’s Provider service internet router wired cable speed, and it is a steady 400+ Download, and a 50 Upload. I then test the PS5’s WIRED internet settings connection to my router, and the PS5 can only connect to my router (and the internet) at its much lower speed. Also, this iPad Pro “SONY app” is SONY’s most current updated gaming app. Note: my wi-fi Apple iPad Pro can connect to the internet at the highest cable speed. No issues. I use the SONY “PlayStation Remote Play” app on my “wi-fi Apple high speed iPad Pro” and the Bluetooth PS5 hand controller when I’m at home, and I’m sitting only 5 feet away from my PS5, and 7 feet away from my wired internet router, because the wife is using my high speed wired BIG screen High Resolution TV. It seems the “PlayStation Remote Play” app, first connects to the online Sony server’s, then returns their signal back to my PS5 over the internet. Something is causing HUGE LAG when trying to play games on my new wi-fi iPad Pro!! But, when using my PS5’s wired connection to the router, using my wired connected TV directly has an instant connection for gaming to my PS5, NO GAMING LAG! Or, is the PS5 converting SONY’s returning internet signal internally to a lower speed? I’ve read the wired “C” connected Bluetooth new PS5 hand controller could be the problem. But you can’t connect the Bluetooth controller to a iPad with a wire without issues. This doesn’t work. There’s a huge shutter play problem every 5 seconds with a “C” wired connection to the iPad. The PS5’s hand controller internal voice seems to be the problem. BUT, the PS4 wired Hand Controller to the PS5, converted PS4 connection works perfectly with its connection. But PS4 also connects at the much lower internet speed. I’ve searched the Internet for a solution to this problem. WHY… can’t my new wired PS5, connect with my home router wired network at this higher speed, that my router sends to the PS5!!! All my other wired, or wi-fi connected devices, always connects at the speed my router sends out. BUT, NEVER the PS5 for general gaming, or using the “PlayStation Remote Play” app with my iPad Pro.
I can’t pull myself together to play my portal in public. I know I would get beaten up and it would get stolen. Lol 😂 just my luck. Also, I see some weirdos on Facebook who take a pic of themselves playing a portal on a beach on vacation. I’m like why would you want to do that?!
You would probably have had more success if you went inside for a stronger connection - even just a post commentary or a note on-screen of the result would have been better imo - I’d like to see this tested again and with a hotel or two thrown in
God, watching you play Bloodborne on the portal was like when I tried remote playing it on my Vita. This device is just overpriced for how limited it is. I think if it was $100 or $150 it would be more appropriately priced. I can do everything the portal does with my Steam Deck to the PS5 and then some. Sure it's double the price, but it offers everything the Portal does and more.

Hotels commonly have splash pages as well. would be surprised if it worked at one of those most have older tech. i demand the next one to be just all hotels and not nice ones just redroof inns and days inns
I took mine to McDonald’s yesterday when I took my sons to the play palace. It worked perfectly for red dead 2 and mk1. I enjoyed it.
I don't know about NOW, but Lowe's Used to be a "AT&T Hotspot". I used it for 3DS to get special Miis. So I could see where Lowe's could be one of the best public WiFi out there.
McDonald's usually sucks for me for free wifi, they have security issues even with normal websites. Glad u got it to work in a couple spots tho lol
Eh wifi is very finicky if you’re doing it the way Mystic goes about here. The wireless signals are having to go through a few pretty thick obstacles (glass/brick etc). These obstacles will attenuate the signal so much that it will only make it harder for your device to provide any semblance of a decent experience. Also, depending on the wireless deployment that you’re connecting to, maybe the Access Points are an older technology that don’t support things like MU-MIMO or 802.11ax. Which adds another layer to an already rough connection.
You dont need an internet connection at home to handshake, I think this is misunderstanding. Once u are paired with your ps5 its forever. You only need a non internet connected WIFI local network. There are videos showing this. Edit it seems an update may have disabled this.
Can you do an update testing it with your home WiFi? Especially after the updates the accessory looks more appealing to me because I mainly want to use it at home.
Thanks, I'll be taking my Portal on holiday with me to test
The Plaid Tesla is so sexy with that yoke steering wheel!
Ps portal is one of those products I don’t know who Sony made it for and why anyone would ever even consider buying it. Spend the extra cash and get a refurbished steam deck or a switch lite
Make a good paper weight
How are there this many fast food places this close to eachother? Dude I wish
Using mine now. Playing Lego Harry Potter.
You should get a repeater so when you do it again it works a bit better
The portal is basically the vita’s ps4 remote play app but worse
It's more like Sony's Wii U gamepad but without the quirks. Vita kinda killed Sony's confidence in handheld devices, it's sad.
Did he really not go to a Walmart? I’m a long-haul truck driver so I know from experience Walmarts generally have great Wi-Fi. Most of these places he’s going to you need to go inside for the Wi-Fi to work properly and he’s trying to do it from his vehicle? Walmarts have those Wi-Fi connection points all around the outside of the building, which is why they have great Wi-Fi from the parking lot.
You could go in the restaurant, and voice over if it worked or not after when you edit
I’ll try to make this brief. I hope it makes sense.
My huge problem with SONY’s gaming “PlayStation Remote Play” APP for my wi-fi Apple iPad Pro, the SONY app (or the PS5 itself) can only connect to my high speed router wired connection over the internet, at a lower 50 Download, and 10 Upload. My home wired internet cable connection sends 400+ Download and 50 Upload. Both my WIRED PS4 and now my PS5, can only connect to the internet at a much lower speed, at all times. I can test my Cable’s Provider service internet router wired cable speed, and it is a steady 400+ Download, and a 50 Upload. I then test the PS5’s WIRED internet settings connection to my router, and the PS5 can only connect to my router (and the internet) at its much lower speed. Also, this iPad Pro “SONY app” is SONY’s most current updated gaming app.
Note: my wi-fi Apple iPad Pro can connect to the internet at the highest cable speed. No issues.
I use the SONY “PlayStation Remote Play” app on my “wi-fi Apple high speed iPad Pro” and the Bluetooth PS5 hand controller when I’m at home, and I’m sitting only 5 feet away from my PS5, and 7 feet away from my wired internet router, because the wife is using my high speed wired BIG screen High Resolution TV. It seems the “PlayStation Remote Play” app, first connects to the online Sony server’s, then returns their signal back to my PS5 over the internet. Something is causing HUGE LAG when trying to play games on my new wi-fi iPad Pro!! But, when using my PS5’s wired connection to the router, using my wired connected TV directly has an instant connection for gaming to my PS5, NO GAMING LAG! Or, is the PS5 converting SONY’s returning internet signal internally to a lower speed?
I’ve read the wired “C” connected Bluetooth new PS5 hand controller could be the problem. But you can’t connect the Bluetooth controller to a iPad with a wire without issues. This doesn’t work. There’s a huge shutter play problem every 5 seconds with a “C” wired connection to the iPad. The PS5’s hand controller internal voice seems to be the problem. BUT, the PS4 wired Hand Controller to the PS5, converted PS4 connection works perfectly with its connection. But PS4 also connects at the much lower internet speed.
I’ve searched the Internet for a solution to this problem.
WHY… can’t my new wired PS5, connect with my home router wired network at this higher speed, that my router sends to the PS5!!! All my other wired, or wi-fi connected devices, always connects at the speed my router sends out. BUT, NEVER the PS5 for general gaming, or using the “PlayStation Remote Play” app with my iPad Pro.
They should do an update to use yours phones hotspot for WiFi they would be good nearly anywhere

Real shit
mad respect Ryan
I can’t pull myself together to play my portal in public. I know I would get beaten up and it would get stolen. Lol 😂 just my luck. Also, I see some weirdos on Facebook who take a pic of themselves playing a portal on a beach on vacation. I’m like why would you want to do that?!
Bought a Portal at launch and it’s a really expensive paper weight connection issues galore
Now i just know all the fast-food places of the city!!.. and that Portal is shiiiit on the go!! 🤣
From watching the video my take away is it seems pointless to try to play games on the portal if you’re using public WiFi lol
You would probably have had more success if you went inside for a stronger connection - even just a post commentary or a note on-screen of the result would have been better imo - I’d like to see this tested again and with a hotel or two thrown in
God, watching you play Bloodborne on the portal was like when I tried remote playing it on my Vita.
This device is just overpriced for how limited it is. I think if it was $100 or $150 it would be more appropriately priced. I can do everything the portal does with my Steam Deck to the PS5 and then some. Sure it's double the price, but it offers everything the Portal does and more.
Ryan got money 😮😮nice Tesla 👏👏
I mean yes the signal is going to be bad. Imagine trying to content to your wifi from across the street.
