PlayStation Portal: Better than Expected?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Playstation Portal is Sony's new handheld device. However, it's not a native device but instead acts as a streaming device for your home console. You can take this handheld anywhere and as long as you have a WiFi connection, you can run games from home. It doesn't download any games and it's not streaming from a hardcore computer, just your home console.
It's priced at $199 and has a great looking formfactor but is it priced right despite the limitations?

It is touchscreen. You use the touchscreen to press the center pad as you would on your regular DualSense.
Moment of silence for all the kids this Xmas who’s parents buy them a Portable PlayStation, unaware that you need a PS5 😶
😂
It's not going to be that many parents. Most parents ask their kids what they want. Then the parents usually ask the cashier about the product. It might happen to an ulocky few tho
Farming for likes hahah 😂😂😂
*F*
I think only an idiot like you makes that stupid mistake. 😂😂😂
I’m getting one on day one. Sweet that you can be somewhere else like a hotel. And it turn on your ps5 when u ready for play. Which is good because you don’t have to leave your ps5 on. Can’t wait
If the PS5 isn't on or in sleep mode, you won't be able to play.
@@wesman6445 That's in comparison to iPad and backbone, which is worse in every way, and sleep mode won't cut it. Every plugged-in PS5 is in sleep mode. NO PS5 owner with sense just leaves the device ON.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 Are you saying the PS5 is always in sleep mode and never turns off? But if you're home and want to use the Portal, what's wrong with leaving the PS5 on?
I have a feeling the Portal may not perform well outside of the home wifi.
I dunno if its correct but I always leave my PS5, PS4 and Switch in sleep mode.. That way updates are possible at all times
If you leave the PS5 in rest mode you can remote play from anywhere in the world. The portal should work better than phone and tablet remote play. Both are very impressive. I was playing Days Gone a couple of weeks ago 1500 miles away from home for hours and it was a surprisingly flawless experience. I didn't know remote play was so smooth. It's really good. After learning that I understand the portal as a streaming device. It's not a console. It's a sub for your phone and controller. and the price is right.
Why people keep saying “But You Have to Be on WI-FI?” It’s 2023 it’s Wi-Fi all around Us! Plus I can’t play my switch without Wi-Fi either. ( I don’t buy physical games)
Yeah. That argument that PS5 games should be able to sideload into a $200 streaming device is kindergarten.
You shouldn't be limited to wifi just to play a video game that's the problem.
Another thing is that not everywhere in the world has a good Internet infrastructure for wifi.
I know this is 200 dollars but I don't think you'd see people out and about with this playing over wifi using Data plans while out and about or coffee shops.
@@Electro096 What's your point? What's you're major problem? Do you own a PS5?
well because you must be having decent fucking wifi duh!? to have low latency for inputs...DUH
PS portal does not use the “PS browser” to connect to wifi, it will do it like how your phone does.
And the main reason why sony wouldn’t make a standalone handheld is because most of PS fames are AAA games and developer wouldn’t wanna spend their resources on something that is far inferior to what we play on PS.
In a world where fast internet is almost everywhere, this is the way to go.
The only thing I’m worried about is the latency. If they do it right, it will be a hit.
Would've been nice to be able to download games and play offline but as long as PS link is better than remote play with little to no lag while on the go, I'd buy it
@@all4onegaming300already pre ordered
@@all4onegaming300that would require an insanely expensive device. To be able to natively play ps5 games on a small handheld, it would require bleeding edge technology that is either prohibitely expensive or still science fiction.
they’re talking about when you connect to a Wi-Fi at a hotel, or some sort of venue and you are automatically directed to a browser screen, where you accept their terms and conditions, etc.
The PS5 does not have that option, you just won’t be able to connect because it won’t open the browser
Seriously? AAA games can't be played? I got rog ally, and you can't name a single game I eas not able to run with ultra srttings on average of 30-40 FPS, texas chainsaw runs at whooping 80FPS on ultra, resident rvil, cyberpunk, whatever you choose, I got it running on ultra and there is no single new code added to support rog ally. That is never the case, morever woth sony's locking most games at 60 fps 🙂🤣
If they built a hand-held with the same power as PS5 it would be $1000+. The steam deck was 650 and it can't do next gen performance.
But if sony add a SD Micro Memory Cards Slot like Nintendo Switch have it would sell. Because what killed the Ps Vita would outrageous Memory cards price tag and lack of exclusives and AAA games title.
Exactly,thank you.they don’t want a new sku for developers to develop for and complain about,example Xbox series s.
People kill me complaining about having to be connected to internet if you have a switch and have all your games downloaded you still can’t play without WiFi because it says they have to check to make sure you can play the game. This portal a game changer
I’m fine with the ps5 on remote play. But I feel like they should make a upgraded version with lte or something so the device doesn’t need wifi
Why? does your phone have a hotspot? That should work.
Don’t give the major phone carriers any ideas smh
I have a fix for homies hotel browser problem with the PS5.
I traveled 50-75% for my previous corporate job. And you can bet your butt I took my PlayStation most of the time.
1) you have to call the hotel’s IT support (the number for the department is usually on the hotel phone)
2) once you get connected they walk you through the steps (in short they need your PlayStation’s Mac address and to verify you’re actually a in one of their hotel rooms)
3) your connected
The whole process takes 5-15 minutes (depends on the hotel chain you room with.)
Marriot, Hilton, and Holidays in are very good.
Hope this helps someone
Thanks for sharing!
If you think about it, its smart of Sony to not try to come our with another PSVITA (RIP), because every PS4/PS5 Game will be available via PS5. They don't need to try to get companies to develop games for it, I already have my PS5 on sleep and play it through Chiaki on my Steamdeck. This is a plus for me because I don't usually game outside my home, but I love to play games before I go to sleep, and now having a native extension to the PS5 with the Dual Sense features. AND ITS ONLY $200. also, the bluetooth thing is a non-issue for me, I don't need yet another pair of headphones, I'll just plug in the ones I already have.
It not smart stop defending Jim Ryan. How Nintendo Switch doing very well. Nintendo Learn from there mistakes with the Wii U sony other hand they just a quitter.
Have you tried pairing the Dual Sense to your phone and streaming through the remote play app? It works almost flawless for me. The portal makes complete sense. I don't think a lot of people understand how good remote play works right now.
@@joedanero5360 I have a Backbone, but I never use it to be honest. It was an impulse buy. I don’t regret it tho lol. But I don’t use my phone for gaming. I try to play on my laptop rarely when I’m taking a break, but at the end of the day, I only use either the PS5 or the SteamDeck (remote play). I agree that remote play is ALMOST flawless. I was never able to play for the longest time because it stuttered every 5 seconds and deemed it unplayable. But I did find a Reddit where that issue is addressed and it has to do with the HDMI cable or something. So I have to disconnect it from the TV in order for Remote Play to work flawlessly. Hopefully they fix this issue in time for the Portal. It’s not really an annoyance as I have my receiver set up where it’s just a quick action.
@@1992TheDiamondWolf not defending anyone, just find the logic to it. I purchased the PSVR2 and I don’t have any games I want to play with it yet. It’s been a few months. Astrobot was so cool on the VR1, but we need more games like that. Now we have to wait for “developers to invest in it.” So imagine a PSVITA 2? I mean, I already have a PSVITA, Nintendo Switch and a SteamDeck and PSPortal arriving in a few months… my hand held needs are set. I’m sure plenty of people feel the same way. But don’t get me wrong, if Sony released a PSVITA2 I’m most likely going to buy it lol
Finally someone is making sense!
For a $200 peripheral.. at least they add more something like a back buttons
That would work if the controllers were detachable, and you have a choice of back buttons on the controllers or regular without back buttons. What if you don't like the back buttons and find you are pressing them because they are in the way? You would be stuck and out $200 bucks. The joycons have an advantage in this sense.
I wish people would stop comparing this thing to a gaming console "it is not a console" it is a PS5 accessory. It is a "portal" to your PS5 when your not using a honking big TV or Monitor. All the games and DLC you have on your console you have access with the "Portal" as long as you have access to wifi no matter where you are... For $199 it is not bad at all when you compare it to spending $350 all the way to $800 for all the various consoles out there... If you want DLC buy a console or put it on the PS5. Easy ....
This is great for me, while the wife watches her shows I can play the PS 5.
The conversation about the hotel wifi issue.. i always take a preconfigured cheap router to trips, plug it in and it gives me private yet open WiFi.
I can’t obviously speak on this device or how it will work with tethering off a mobile hotspot, say your phone, but I have a Logitech g cloud and I just went on a trip, was able to stream off my xbox while on mobile hotspot- granted it cut out at times going through a mountain pass but that’s to be expected. Sometimes the frame rate would drop, but when I was anywhere with a decent signal, I had no problems streaming off my phone. Once again, not sure what the difference will be between the two, but the g cloud is fairly comparable in that sense, being a dedicated stream handheld. Pre ordered my portal yesterday!
Nice. At least you understand what the portal is. These comments are ridiculous. It's a streaming device folks.....Streaming tech is there these days....no lag....sorry if your home internet is crap. That's another issue.
I preordered too. Tired of the ergonomics of the phone and Dual Sense. Shitty thing is the BT situation. Not surprising considering SONY's Past with BT. I'll just use some nice wireds.
@@joedanero5360 I definitely agree the Bluetooth thing is lame, but it’s better than the proprietary storage we dealt with on previous devices. I was thinking, and this is still lame, maybe a bt adapter in the aux port? Could be a cheap workaround. I’m looking forward to having something that will be much more ergonomic, the fact it will have an actual dual sense grip is awesome to me
You guys realize I’ve been doing remote play on my iPad using the remote play app and using a steel nimbus controller on my iPad and doing remote play since PlayStation 4 days. It’s literally the same exact thing but you don’t have to buy a $200 device lol
Instead you have to use your 300 + iPad and 100 controller. And it wouldn't be as portable or be able to turn the console on.
Stay butthurt iPad fanboy crying over this product you can't afford hahaha
@@sdmoore89😂😂😂
@@sdmoore89 I’ve already had an iPad all these years before this existed, not like I bought the iPad just for remote play, the controller was like $50-$60 and the remote play app does in fact turn on your console as long as it’s in rest mode.
@@sdmoore89 simply just stating this isn’t some new state of the art tech. It’s something they could have and should have made 5 years ago.
This ain't supposed to be a mobile console. It is a portal to your playstation at home. Nothing more, nothing less. What is so hard to understand about that?? Why even bring up the vita or PSP? This is not a mobile console.... ffs people.
Yall lying i get about 4 hours max on that dual sense smh. Battery will be worst on the portal its has to power the control and screen smh.
You can play on the go but you would need your ps5 on or in sleep mode. I wonder if you could still have your ps5 off and they do something with the ps app where you can stream it that way. What if you go on vacation for two week you’re not leaving your ps5 on sleep mode for two weeks.
Get a PS5. Try remote play. and that will answer your questions.
It’s the same price as the dual sense edge controller
So
Its probably pretty good.. I'm just hoping the next Sony portable has the ability to pop discs in the back and maybe the bluetooth feature
It not a portable. I just hope sony make a real new Playstation portable with Cheaper SD Micro Memory Slot ps4-ps5 Graphics like Psp (ps2-ps3) graphics PS Vita (ps3-ps4) graphics because it rumor nintendo new handheld consoles gonna have ps4 graphics. But with Jim Ryan ruined the Playstation brand might as well forget about new Playstation portable
@@1992TheDiamondWolf That ain't happening. Keep hanging on to nostalgia and being let down by yourself.
Nintendo has the game for portables. Even Sony isn't stupid enough to try it at this point. They are relying on streaming the power of the PS5 to their remote play device to bring PS5 power on the go......if you have access to bandwidth.
There’s still two months until it comes out, we don’t know all the features yet. I’m assuming it not a finished product quite yet
You gotta remember this is for the people who want to game at home with their family or wife. But don’t have the time to go fully sit down and play for a while. I agree it could be $150 but for $50 more that’s not the biggest deal? No bluetooth is stupid though and if you’re camping with this you have a problem lol
Yeah camping is a pretty rare occurrence for sure. Competitively speaking, it would be nice to lower a little bit, at 200, it’s the same price as a switch lite which is a standalone gaming device that doesn’t require an internet connection. Even if it was 179, just the fact it’s slightly lower cost would make it a bit easier but now it’s hard not to make a direct comparison that one is a portable gaming console and the other is ultimately an accessory that streams games for the same price.
You can use it anywhere… just connect to your phone’ 5G. We can do all of this today and it works…
Exactly how they not know this
Yes this is what I don't understand. People acting like you can play any game anywhere. You can WiFi is everywhere and phone wifi
I just wanna play a casual game and make some progress while watching Netflix on tv with the fam... plus it will make a solid travel companion. Excited to get mine and see how it performs.
Im definitely still looking forward to a solid PSP or PSVita though... the moment a real standalone PS portable device becomes available ill snatch it up right away too
Get a switch. Sony probably isn't going down that road again. Completely separate game devs. With the way wifi is going... Sony is jumping on that gun. Smart move on their part. We'll see Microsoft make a similar product soon.
@joedanero5360 I do have a switch too! Had to for MarioKart! Lol
@@KellyReddington And the switch is awesome. It's just gonna be doing that thing for you when you don't have service. Not the portal. Ya know.
@joedanero5360 so I got my portal today and I can confirm that it is undeniably a huge flop lol. Terrible connectivity like no other device. Remote play works well on my laptop and mobile phone, but on this device, it cannot hold a stable connection.
This was a low-hanging fruit money grab from Sony because they know everyone wants a real standalone portable console, so they offered this to capture that market but it can't even do the bare minimum of maintaining a stable connection.
My internet speeds were fantastic too, so the portal severely under delivered unfortunately.
I now have a pretty cool looking paper weight tho lol
@@KellyReddington If your laptop and mobile work well then there isn't an obvious reason the portal didn't work well.
I have a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz router and when I connected my portal today I noticed my PS5 was on 2.4Ghz and the stream to the portal looked like ass. I changed it to 5Ghz and gamed for 2hrs.
A couple of months ago I had the PS5 wired in and was gaming down in Florida over wifi in a rental with my phone. It was flawless.
You either have some connection issues to sort out or you are arguing in bad faith.
The way your comment is worded is even sussy.
So what happens if you are out of town, playing on the portal in a hotel. The wifi in your house goes off and doesn’t come back on for a while. Does that mean your ps5 is just sitting there, powered up and you are unable to turn it off. That could mess up your ps5
No. That's a made up dilemma. If you can't reset your wifi then sure you are shit out of luck, but that is not gonna mess up the PS5
@@joedanero5360its fucking wild though that they didn't think about this at all. The fact that when people try to go out only to lose connection or have choppy wifi that means your ps5 is still just running with absolutely no way to power it off (rest mode doesn't really count its still on)
@@coffinboy556 But what's your issue? If you remote play the PS5 and your network gets jacked then you are shit out of luck regardless of if you have this accessory or just a phone and controller trying to game. It's no different that remote accessing your PC when your home network gets messed up. What's your argument?
@@coffinboy556 Who says they didn't think about this other than you. Remote play has been a thing for years. You sound like youre not familiar with it and disappointed even though it will not affect you.
Your ps5 would put itself back into rest mode after awhile and no it wouldn’t mess it up, the console is designed to use rest mode just like being fully off. FIY you have to be in rest mode to even have to option to turn the console on from remote play
1. This isn't competing with any other handheld. It's an accessory to a current ps5 for remote play. And its marketed and priced as so.
2. A small, handheld device natively running ps5 games would cost an arm and a leg. Which makes the market for it incredibly small.
3. A device that also does cloud streaming with a dualsense and the current screen would cost closer to $300. So asking the same out of a $200 dollar device is silly.
4. With current configurations of remote play you are compromising on performance, or comfort, or portability, or ease of access OR ALL OF THE ABOVE. This device seeks to fix that.
Thank you 🙌🏾. 🎯
Why do you think it would cost more for the cloud streaming component? The infrastructure is already there to run it, I would imagine the tech to remote play would be similar, if not the same other than some different code . The only cost increase justification I could see is because they can, not because it costs more to make it, but we could be missing something!
@@TheInnerGamer It's an educated guess taken from the price of the new cloud streaming Logitech G Cloud. Which is a little over $300.
I agree they should have made a device were you can play a game on the PlayStation portal and play it like you can on the Nintendo switch so that you can play on the go without the need to connect to WiFi and have to play that way. I pre ordered one just to see what it’s like to use and if i don’t like it I’ll just sell it. Personally i think it will lat about 1 to 2 years before they call it a fail and say it should not have been made
It's a remote stream device. Who else has the balls to have this?
Bro Bluetooth will be in a system update after awhile idk y people think this thing will not have Bluetooth on he switch didn’t come with Bluetooth
I can see myself buying it maybe not right away lol but a month or two after. I would need to know more about the device and see some reviews before buying it but I’m definitely probably will.
I’ll only buy it if I can play it on the train or somewhere if I can connect it with my phone hotspot
Same. I might consider if the In-depth reviews are in favour.
true, and in the december month you'll get a good deal as well.
I pre-order mine and got one for my nephew's
Ill wait for a second version to come out then maybe they fix all these problems
the first model might be legendary if they continue to update it.
Only if Jim Ryan step down as ceo are it never happened
What issues? Remote play on a phone with a BT linked Dual Sense is already flawless for me. This should work fine.
I've pre-order me one today at my local gamestop
How can y get the games on it
I wonder if the lag and latency is going to be the same like when you remote play now to the iPad or phone
I'm entirely impressed of the lack of lag for remote play. Not everyones connection is the same. Wired in ps5 to ethernet....I streamed games through remoteplay 1500 miles away with flawless connection. Rarely there was a drop in bitrate but the game connection was solid.
This is a different age. Sony is invested and on top of it.
how is it not expected, we knew all of this from the announcement
It’s better than expected. The original announcement made it feel like a glorified Wii U, only capable of being used in your home WiFi. But this video talks about how you can use it with any WiFi, which changes the game a bit since you can take it to a coffee shop and stuff!
Wow, why can't people see this for what it is, plus moaning about Internet connection when away, most places now have strong 4g /5g so you could easily just hotspot your connection from your phone. Unless you're in a real dead zone that should be more than fast enough to run smoothly. I've been doing this for xbox cloud on my phone for 18 months now, hardly ever get issues, I've usually got access to either decent WiFi or 4g/5g
No Bluetooth, just buy a £5 dongle, done. Or just use wired ear phones. Not really the issue most haters are making it out to be.
Massive advantages to this thing are the price for one, you're getting access to your entire playstation library on the go, not re-buying expensive inferior version of games you already own. No messing about to get your progress to move across to main game. Plus the device is £200 not £400-£500 it would be if it was essentially the ps vita 2. As it would need to compete with the current switch and stream deck style portables.
My only criticism is it has a LCD screen , for £200 that should of been OLED but other that I think this is a fantastic device that is definitely filling a niche hole in the market, I for one don't really like using my phone to stream games, I have to take the phone out of my case each time which is a nightmare as its an all in one case.
I've been hoping for something like this for a while now so I'll definitely be getting it as soon as I can.
Personally thing that stops me making the most out of my switch is the expensive games, I don't mind paying the nintendo exclusives but I hate paying for the third party games i already own on other systems.
PS portal seems like the perfect solution in this day and age as the Internet speeds have drastically increased the last 5 years, my WiFi has gone from 40mbs to 500mbs, the 4g/5g speeds are averaging around 30-50mbs or much faster near town centres.
For alot of people this is the perfect middle ground. There are limitations of course, but it's £200 without the need to purchase games. Exactly what I want.
And if it have a drift shift. How much will it cost to repair it.
I'll be getting the new Lenovo.
my man!
I already have a backbone for this 😂
What type of phone do you have? I calle playstation again after 2 years of trying to get mine to work and they said Apple doesn’t work for it. But my backbone is specifically for Apple
LMFAOOOOOO HE SAID HE FEELS LIKE HES LOSING MONEY 😂😂😂 MAN I CRIED ..😂😂😂😂😂REAL HARD
Ironically this could be called PsP for short
Mobile hotspot on your phone is considered WiFi
I pre ordered this device and I'm pretty stoked. I also have yhe backbone which is Also amazing. With the portal I will no longer have to disengage . Btw hotel wifi is horrible so I'll use my Hotspot. The earbuds are insanely expensive for earbuds. They better be made of pure gold
I hear ya. It helps if your console is wired in at home instead of on wifi.
You can use cheap wired buds instead of getting those $200 buds. Probably be close to the same experience
I mean u could use ur hotspot
I think the whole talk around the portal is a little unjustified. Yes, the device needs a Wi-Fi connection, but why people keep mentioning "public Wi-Fi" or "Hotel's Wi-Fi"? Your phone is a hot spot and it will be as close to the portal as it is possible because it is with you all the time. Just use the internet from your phone and you can play it literally anywhere, I mean, aren't we all connected to the internet on our phones 24/7?
I believe what should be asked (and I didn't see one person questioning that so far) is how much data will the portal use for every hour of gaming. Now that's a valid question since we pay for a certain "amount" of data monthly on our Cell phones.
Three days ago PlayStation told everybody again that you cannot take this on the goal. It Hass to be connected to your home net work so people that are planning on buying it for the go it is not going to work.
You are misinformed. This is a streaming device anything else you understand about it was made up in your head.
Yup, that is incorrect. This is from their website stating you can play anywhere with a minimum of a 5 Mbps connection.
“While your home Wi-Fi network represents a great option to use PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player because you have control over the quality of your own home Wi-Fi, it is not required. PlayStation Portal™ Remote Player can also be played wherever you have access to broadband internet Wi-Fi with at least 5Mbps for use1. For a better play experience, a high-speed connection of at least 15Mbps is recommended. If you are using public Wi-Fi, be aware that the quality of the internet connection may be out of your control, and could impact the quality of your play experience.”
@@TheInnerGamer then why are they answering questions on their form saying you have to play off your home net work and if you leave your home net work, it will get locked and if you’re playing in a hotel room it will be locked. This already happens when you’re playing from your phone and you connect to the Internet from a hotel or anywhere else it already gets locked on your phone, so why would it be any different?
@@XRKGX Do you have a PS5? Have you played remote play. Because you do not sound like you know what you are talking about. I was just 1500 miles from home playing my PS5 with my Dual Sense from a rental and it streamed flawless. This device replaces the phone and controller. You have some mental issue with this device that you need to work through.
Just for Sake of simplicity, how the fuck you are going to turn your damned PS 5 and get that shitty devie and go connect to wifi just to play offline game? yall pathetic
And they need to fix the remote play to be able to party chat
If I don’t have Wi-Fi, my phone has hotspot and I get like 500Mb down, 20 up in the city
I swear if there's stick drift....
I use my phone wifi whit my ps5 and I have no lagging at all , but I guess where you live.
Btw I pre/order the portable cuz I just want to be in bed playing my fav games so is perfect for me, I know about the Bluetooth sucks but there’s nothing we can’t do but complain and nothing will happens.
November 15th is the official release date.
It's due out by November 5th
3:03 to answer your question… because expecting a handheld to be as powerful as a PS5 is completely delusional. Idk if their’s a nice way to put that. We are a decade away from handhelds being that powerful. Until then we have this, Steam Deck or something similar, and Switch. Sony never wanted anyone to view this as anything other than a peripheral. This is for people who have multiple people who share one TV. There are a TON of people like this, which is why preorders sold out.
Damn. This is hard to watch. It seems they didn’t check the specs, don’t understand the concept and also have little notice about pricing. 199,-€ for a dual sense with big touchscreen that need its own marketing, support etc. is angehest pricing.
it comes out november 15th 2023
How is it portable though what about if I don't have great signal....or someone turns off my ps5 lol
Will experience be better on portal compared to streaming on steam deck via chiaki or remote play on ipad?
The dpad is on the screen so it is a half touch screen
Missed opportunity to not have PlayStation cloud gaming
I use my Hotspot for my PlayStation 5. From my phone all the time, this guy right here. He just seems to be A nagging grandpa Who probably don't even play on a PlayStation 5. And have the most to say about it. Yeah we're talking about you in the middle mister. Listen
If you want to know something, do it yourself Don't take other people's word for it.
How are you guys? So so off on your information and this is not the first video that you’re off on your information you’re off on information all the time what is going on?
The research on this from these guys was lackluster given there’s been videos of previews for a couple weeks now
Just a Hotel Wi-Fi TIP - Most hotels have a bypass method to add your console or device to the network. You just need to find the MAC address if your device and provide it to their wifi customer service line. Normally it will be a 4-5 min phone call.
Can also use a phone as a hotspot. Hoping to do that
I can see them killing 3rd party android apps to sell this. Right now the app I used allowed for very decent ff16 gameplay from my phone using a gamevice flex controller. I just had to tap my screed for touch pad use. I'd grade it b+ to a- on how well it worked and it let me play playstation like a switch on my couch next to my girlfriend, not in my gameroom no portal necessary. And I hope it stays that way.
Stay butthurt about this device you can't afford phone corporate slave hahaha
0 subs hahaha
Why are we charged £200 in uk for it and $200 in usa should be £170 uk and $200 usd
Don't get me wrong, I can see the use case scenarios for this device, but in my opinion it isn't for me. If it was a successor to the Vita though, I would be ALL in.
Will I be able to play Warzone on it though
this gentleman in the middle come to live chat and holding a modelo beer next time let him smoke his weed what a respect to under age viewers 😢😢😢😮😮
If you could download and play games without the ps5 then why would you buy a ps5? That's why they want let you download and play games like the switch. They don't want to cut into ps5 sales
You're not going to "play your PS5 on the go," because it's remote play only and is entirely dependent on a solid wifi and internet connection, which you're unlikely to find out in the wild.
My bell fibe plan have unlimited 5g data download and I’m already playing my ps5 anywhere on my zfold 5.
This thing is going to end up as a big ass E waste in the land fill. Should've made this a feature for Android phones or Apple phones.
it is, can stream to everything, apple, android, mac, windows, maybe even Linux, most of those fully support the dual sense haptics and triggers. they have controller grips that support PS remote play for android and apple.
for all we know this could be a precursor to a true Sony handheld
What if you only have disk games? 🤔
Then you'd have to call somebody to load a new game up at the house for you. haha
@@joedanero5360exactly why I got a digital version I knew it would be the better version after a while
@@damonlynch3819 I got the disk because I had a number of ps4 hardcopies.
I was also resistant to the digital version because I'm old school, but I've come around a little. I still don't like some aspects of it like not being able to buy and resell games to recoup some cost and let someone else enjoy it for less. Also being burned with hard copy cross compatibility in the past put a bad taste in my mouth. The 5 corrected some of that.
I have recommended the digital version lately to some friends considering the 5 who didn't have a 4.
I think the bottom line here with the portal is that Sony streaming works so well and wifi is almost everywhere now (for me) that the device makes perfect sense...and I have the money to buy it freeing up my phone.
Not a fan of the bt issue, but it has been known that Sony uses their own propriety codecs for a long time.....which are actually pretty good.
So these guys don’t have phones and have probably not heard of internet sharing. With a phone one can share the internet to the PSPortal and therefore game on the go. A good 4g can easily get a 150 Mbit connection. I share the internet from my iPhone all the time when playing online on the Switch.
Phones are for talking phone corporate slave. Stay butthurt that you can't afford the ps portal at 200 at a fair price kid hahaha
Phone screens are tiny and controllers are uncomfortable. I have a Kishi v2 and as much as I like it for this purpose it’s not the best experience.
Its a HUGE let down that fact its not just like a switch. But yea I have ordered one to try out. Remote play laggs on iPhone & iPad
So if i go out on vacation , i cant play because my ps5 is turned off and i cant turn it on remotely? only works on repouse mode , Well done Sony!
These companies be killing me. They release something knowing full well but they released then give you something that missing something to sell something else. This thing could be way more than what presented here but greed is what's killing it.
Stop the magical thinking. Come back to earth star child.
It is a remote play device. That is all. You can already remoteplay through your phone.
Do you have a ps5?
It is possible to connect your ps5 to hotel wifi, I did it once, there's videos out there
Anyone can connect through the remote play app on their phone and pair their Dual Sense to their phone and play from anywhere that has wifi. It plays very well.
You have to talk about the price hike for ps plus, this is way more relevant
We will! This was recorded literally the day before the price hike unfortunately.
This device would have more value if you could use GeForce now with it.
100%!
You're better off taking a ipad or something with you, other than this POS.
There is absolutely no reason to buy this at all Everyone who does haven't thought it out. No Bluetooth, it's gonna have stick drift, an you only can use it connected to wifi and you can't use it with your ps5 like having a map on screen or inventory screen etc.
3:05 cmon man you really asking that question?
My control dies in five hours on top of that . Most time it just be on n I don’t even be playing .. the more u charge the battery will die quicker kinda like a older iPhone 😂… why would they make it 1080 .. when it’s 4K.. a smaller 4K screen will look so much more realistic
What difference does this make. I use the backbone with ps remote play
This definitely doesn't counter xcloud lol
I dug the perspective and the imagination on this topic. and I agree! I wish this this thing was able to take downloaded content on the go or had a doc like the switch and could stream to a tv away from the ps5. wouldn't be bad if they scrapped the slim for next gen ps6 and released a handheld that's capable of the a console. Probably won't happen due to the loads of money they make off of the slim. But still pretty cool topic anyways.
You're in fantasyland. that's a few generations out.
Well it's what everyone is pretty much saying that they wanted for the product and I was just saying the comment that was made in hhe video in regards to what I posted would've been cool. I'm totally aware of SIE idea for the product.
@@johngriffin1700 Buy a steamdeck dude. Don't complain about the portal.
Everyone saying what they wanted for the product has no effect on the product. Sony said they were releasing a remote play device and that's what it'll do and the only ones complaining after the fact are people upset they didn't release a new vita and people who think Sony is some sort of team enemy.
Many of those complaints were from people who are Vita fanfreaks. The fact of the matter is that with a PS5 connected through ethernet and remote play connected over any subpar wifi provides a better experience than any next gen Vita could ever provide.
There is no need for another Vita. It's not cost effective and internet tech is on a whole other level these days. Sony is playing the future here.
I've literally been streaming PS5 games to my phone and it would kick the shit out of any stand alone Sony could spend time and money on for a new and seperate platform like a Vita2.
Is it going to work in places where service isn't avail. No. Buy a switch if you need that.
Is it going to stream the PS5 games to you when you have access. Yes.
That is all this $200 product is designed to do. It's not that hard to comprehend.
And fantasy land dude it’s PlayStation the whole thing is about fantasy and dreaming. People talked about what if every gaming platform mashed together so origin built the big o v3 as a concept. Who knows it may become a reality but don’t bash me for doing what this whole console is about which is fantasy. get over it dude I liked a few comments in the video if you don’t like my comment don’t respond
Why do you guys always hate on everything sony makes...and who wants to buy more games for another device... If you don't like don't buy it ..
I dunno how I feel about it yet. PS Remote play for me only works good for me around 50/50+ mbps at home. If I drop to 25/25+ mbps on my older 2.4ghz routers it’s barely playable. Might need to upgrade my home network first.
Should work well in the house. Taking it out of the house is where the wifi will be a factor
why doesn't it have second screen mode like wii u? This is stupid
Its completely pointless to me. The only way I would buy this is if Sony made this into an actual portable console where i could play ps5 games on their own without wifi. Or if they made this an alternative to using a tv/monitor to play the ps5, and they allowed us to just plug the hdmi cable into it and use it as a monitor. That would be cool, but as this is now i would not buy it.
better than expected? aare you serious? someone has mental issues
If u heavy player the battery want last long
Plug it in!!
Finally decent handheld device to play fortnite on😂
No lie I would pay 3 to 400 for a real new Vita note this thing
People are willing to pay $500 now for a handheld that can play ps4 pro graphics. Just look what steam deck is doing right now.
Native vs remote play. Are you kidding me??
Ps5 on the go, even just streaming is amazing, don’t get me wrong. But you can already do the same thing with your phone.
I personally am interested and will pick one up. It’s 200 bucks so it’s painless. But I totally understand why people are turned off by it.
Reaching ALMOST a quarter of Wii U sales? Wow, that's what steam Deck is doing.
Steam deck is good, I just want to be able to play my ps5 games in my room instead of in my game room at night. Day one buy for me. Those who talk about the backbone don't realize how much of a hassle it is to use and play games on a 6 inch phone
@@stvnoahc7249it’s actually 350-400$ because it doesn’t have speakers, and the only thing that works is Sony’s proprietary headset(s). I guess it would’ve cost them too much to put a simple aux port on it.
Better hope Nintendo doesn't do it 1st
No Bluetooth to force you to buy £200 headphones. Over priced.
No way this runs while IN rest mode. Obviously the PS5 would need to be running to process graphics run game etc. You can boot it up with the ps portal if its already in rest mode. Im going to connect to a UPS so its stays in rest mode even if there is a power bump.
What did you just type?
Why do all these guys sound like they are asleep?
