Sony saw all the new handhelds on the market and really did the bare minimum. 🔥
fr 💀
The bare minimum is still a standalone handheld, this is just a ps5 controller with a screen
I actually don't think they made this with Nintendo/standalone handsets in mind. I actually think they made this wanting to compete with Xbox Games Pass. The remote play anywhere aspect better goes against Xbox Games Pass ability to play on any Windows/Xbox device (including PCs/laptops). This device basically enables the same ability for PlayStation players. Especially this paired with the Games Catalogue (big library of hundreds of PS4 nad PS5 games you can add to your library at will long as you have a PlayStation+ subscription). I don't think they give a single care about the actual dedicated handheld market or they would have jumped back into it properly with a new standalone portable device years ago. I do think though depending on how well this device does, it might be the catalyst for them to do a proper standalone handheld in the future.
If the vita actually sold well then they would more than likely make an actual portable console. As it flopped pretty hard they don't want to spend all that development cost on another thing likely to flop, and with the handheld market even more saturated than when the vita came out with switch already being huge and steam deck along with all the other handheld PCs it makes even less sense
its only 199 and itll be on sale during black friday for 100 bucks probably
I wish they would do a new vita, I would buy it in a heartbeat because I don't always be at home when I take the notion to play.
Me too
The remote play device is missing one thing if it had back button on the controller I would’ve considered it mostly because I only play call of duty with a dual sense edge soo…. It’s a no for me
I'm buying this just because really
Same
Agree, Sony built a standout handheld with the vita, just misjudged the impact memory cards cost, and longer term developer support, own three myself, one a vita tv, and didn't do to bad a job with the psp it definitely was a hardware success.
Really excited for more coverage regarding the PS Portal. This intrigues me. I like the way you go in-depth with it too.
This blows my mind bro you have taken off I haven’t been the most reliable subscriber there is but I have watched you grow as a creator to this new level that blows my mind and shows you can litterly do anything you put your mind to
Man. How you go from Vita from this 💀💀💀💀
Fr😂
Swear, nothing unique about this. I could just use my phone and pair my ps5 controller if I want remote play smh 😂
For real, I'm soo mad, I'm a ps fan from the get, and this is a useless 😂
@@michaelmyersplays4992omg vibrations😮😮😮😮😮😮 🤣🤣🤣that aint worth stop riding sony an L is an L
@@michaelmyersplays4992lmao bro calling me lil bro when he acting like a little bitch over peoples calling out facts on a device that has no versatility
$199 ain't too bad, but since it's remote play only I'll just wait for a good sale.
I like that price, but I will probably buy it used on kijiji or fb marketplace or something because I can almost never justify buying brand new tech.
For what it is the price is still batshit crazy
Remote pksy with PS link.
Or just buy the backbone
Literally just use your phone lol or a steam deck that does more lol
Great info and explanation, fantastic editing of sound effects and drawings on screen. Superb video.
Most definitely yes i cant wait to get the earbuds and the portal. Do love the functionality thanks to the link system and the built in features lets always remember that we have power banks that help us not ran out of battery, i always got mine on the go! Thanks for this great video brotha!
This device is basically the PlayStation version of a Wii U
What if there is a stick drift ?
@@DeltonBarretto damn that’s a good one i wonder if they thought about that
Better to buy a ps vita, mod it and there you go, you have a better handheld and play some native games and the games created by the community
@@AFRO-GAMING-1000 no kidding. And that works perfectly for some.
Of all the coverage I’ve seen on the Portal, this is the most in depth. Appreciate the time taken to explain and give info!
Really, what's to cover? The Portal barely does anything. It is a one-trick pony.
i mean mkbhd covered everything important about this in a RUclips short. What else do you need to know? 199 for a screen and controller. Basically this video is just sponsored content trying to sell you this overpriced excuse for a handheld.
@@AshSabrenot a handheld it’s a portable display/tablet with controller attachment
@@aizoku I already mentioned it's just a screen and controller. and i said it's a poor excuse for a handheld which what the uploader called it..
the price being 199 is rendered meaningless when you need a 500 dollar ps5 to use this lmao
Kinda surprising the remote device was the same price as the ear buds. Imo a little drop in the price of the ear buds would make them more accessible/affordable to more people, get them into more hands. Affordability will go a long way in motivating not just gamers to buy but also those who don’t game and are looking for a quality ear bud to pair with their phones and/or other electronics/devices. That’s a HUGE market with just a very small part of it being gaming related.
if you don't game you wouldn't even look at ps earplugs.
Pricing was meant to be a direct F You to the Nintendo Switch.
the earbuds probably dont even sound as good as airpods or galaxy buds honestly makes no sense why they wont allow bluetooth
@@natasrulesbro that’s my thing ain’t no way in the damn world these ps earbuds sound any better than my airpod pros no way in hell and I have a 15$ blue tooth adapter I can just connect any blue tooth earphone to it so why not use my AirPods ? I don’t use it anyway but I have a premium option if I ever decided. Now the portal controller screen thing seems cool I can walk around the living room and game and help the kids and my girl without being locked to the bed or the couch I can just rock out but not for no damn 200$ my iPhone remote play works good enough ! When it drops to 100$ I’ll buy it immediately
@@natasrulesexclusivity is the reason. Sony wants 100% of the money in their hands
As a parent, this is perfect. I can’t always be in my gaming room, so being able to game elsewhere in the house works perfect.
Same... Gonna pre-order it soon.
I feel like this is for us dads that can’t always use the big tv but still want to game while in the house 🤷🏽♂️😂
Glad it’s useful to someone 😂
Until the wife gets annoyed that you play way too much
@@skoolboi_L she'll be okay lol
Great production and presentation quality. Bravo.
I cannot fathom paying 200 for a device like this, but if there's a market for it go wild I suppose. What I'm curious about and wasn't discussed was if this thing can act as a normal controller for a PS5, with the screen active or not. There isn't nearly as much couch co-op anymore but it would imo be a necessary feature.
I'll be honest, I'm in the market for something like this. Because I can't always sit at my desk and play for too long, and I also like to play from bed or in a separate room. $200 is better than I thought it was going to be, but still a bit much for what it specifically is. The backbone is $99, but is only for the iphone, which isn't the biggest of deals. I wouldn't mind paying $150 for this whcih is $50 more than a backbone. Still not cheap by any means, but I think it would be the sweet spot for me personally. I think there will be plenty of people in situations similar to myself who is always on the move who will take a serious look at this. The $200 price tag will probably keep a lot of those people away, but fortunately black friday will be here in a few months.
for $200 its a steal for people who need it like myself
People pay 200 for a pro controller.
@@a8uella No one "NEEDS" this device lol
I can understand the market for this. I myself find this to be a very useful device in my scenarios but just like you said, the price being $200 is what is making me doubt whether I would actually buy it or not. If anything, I was actually more interested in the wireless earbuds with 3d audio since I hate over the ear headphones but seeing how those are marketed at $200 also, then I guess the PlayStation Portal isn't that bad when you take into perspective it being a decent remote play device. Actually, the more I think about it, the current backbone controller is $100, don't have all the dualsense features and is small and cramped which still requires your own phone to use as a screen....so yeah maybe $200 is "fairer" than what I give it credit for? IDK we will see if it makes sense once more people have it out in the wild.
Jud, you’re such a down-to-earth and wholesome guy. Keep up the great content.
Seems like PS portal is in its own market. Streaming handhelds. Affordable since it’s not demanding. Small price to pay. It’s actually impressive
it's really not in its own market. The logitech cloud was already a thing , The nvidia shield was a huge boon for Geforce now. Parsec ps4 remote play and steam remote play have been on phones and tablets for years. If you're talking about devices that only offer streaming then sure?! I
@@birdman4birdlegs yeah precisely, streaming only, and you are correct about the PS share tech being around for years, but it never had a really good use. It already is goodish mediocre, not phenomenal but usable. This device is the first device solely dedicated to exploiting PS remote play. PC, phones, tabs all have some form of stutter or priority issue with streaming with background processing. The portal has no background processing, 100% focused on steaming to your console to provide the cleanest and most stable experience for PS players to date. Yes it’s not a innovation by any means, they just finally found 1 way to put old technology to use and the streaming world is starting to show the desire for such products in the future to come. Streaming will never overtake conventional gaming but it is a potential route to explore and I think Sony isn’t wrong for tapping into an old well in my opinion.
Even though this isn’t a new Vita, It is really good to hear that you can use this device while connected to a different Wi-Fi connection! I was hoping so, and that saves this device!
Great video man, you really went deep into clarifying some basic functionality questions that nobody else seems to be explaining in their early reviews.. well done! cheers!
he doesnt mention that the Portal itself, doesnt even bluetooth. there's better and more in-depth reviews on this
NO ONE who wants to have the best audio experience while gaming uses Bluetooth audio, unless you prefer high latency low quality audio..@@pw6545

@@pw6545neither does Xbox? Switch just released it like a year ago, BT will make it laggy.
You've come a long way my man. Been around since the good old 30k sub days when you tried out headphones. Quality since then you've shown consistency, convenience, and just overall a reliable dude. 👌
Was searching for this comment, saying the same here
As a father of 3, this seems perfect. Cant always play my favorite games ,which tend to be violent and horror based, with the kids around. I will definitely end up getting this.
Getting this for that specific reason! Totally stoked and can't wait till I get mines on Friday
I know everyone w access to details are all sharing the same info, but your review is quick and complete. New sub. Looking forward to more tech and Ps vids. 🍻
Thanks so much, was browsing through few of other outlet hands on and most of them didn't even show the buttons, layout etc of devices. Really appreciate getting to see all the ports, buttons on devices and everything. Your explanation of the PS Link is also very thorough and good job on the motion graphic, really makes it easier to understand everything. Great job!
I’m actually really excited about this. I know it’s not a handheld device that can put its own games in, like the switch. But in my household, it’s very hard for me to have time to play my PS five because my husband is always watching sports or something else. And it would be nice just to have a compact way of playing it while I’m sitting on the couch while other things are going on around me. So I think this will be a really cool Addition to my electronic collection. I’m not sure why this device gets so much hate. But I for one am super excited about it, thank you so much for doing this video.
Get a second TV lil ni**a
I really love the concept the only problem is you can do the same exact thing with your cell phone or tablet with a controller. Not to mention if you have good service on your device you don't even need Wi-Fi meaning you can take it to a park or take it wherever and play. This device can only be used where there's Wi-Fi.
but its not integrated so playing with a bluetooth controller adds input delay making those semi competitive games just no possible unless youre on the dedicated console. im kind of excited to see, if theres no delay (my internet is decent) then this is more than enough for me to purchase as this fits 90% of my use cases.
@@stephenwong8053bingo,
That looks so easy to break. The warranty would be crucial on it.
looks like just pressing inwards on the 2 sides would snap the controllers off
I know down the line they will have cases for it
@@troydogg2716they wont be popular enough theyll be gone in a year
Would be an issue if this useless device was even usable outside of your house
Warranties never cover "accidental" breakages
being able to connect the headset to multiple adapters is the main thing im excited about honestly, ive been using the old Pulse 3D on my ps4,ps5, and pc and it is kinda annoying to unplug the adapter and take it across the house to plug it into something else
You can’t use your old pulse 3D with these. You’d need to buy the new elite headphones with the new technology.
It’s going to suck being forced to use Sony’s mediocre gaming headsets. I’m super picky about sound and I would like to use my own headphones or ear buds. Hope there’s a workaround
@drinksprite if you mean for the portal there's no Bluetooth on it so their own headphones are the only wireless option, there is a 3.5 mm jack though I think
@@ComPTonRiLLO yeah I'll either get the new one if it's a substantial improvement or just switch to using just wired headphones, I just hate how fast wired ones drain the controller battery though
I wish it was actually hand held as in you could travel with it and play
Im excited, got all them preorderd and got my slim today
Super excited about this I live in Germany and was able to play my ps5 in France with remote play from my phone so excited to see what this new product can do
These will be something that I am looking forward to,especially the portal
The PS5 start up sound at 5:54 was a really nice touch in editing. Great video too! Very detailed. Would be good to have chapters though.
yooooo i even turned around and looked at my ps5 like wtf. i didnt even know it was the video that made the sound lol
It’s a 13 min video??? Chapters 😂😂😂💀💀
@Dev-uf2ss alot of established youtubers have their videos setup with segments in the video so I can see what he's saying.
It’s dope. I already preordered mine.
Awesome review, Some places didn't mention that the portal has a headphone jack so good to see that. Wish it had Bluetooth though for other earbuds.
$200 for screen, controller, and screencast handheld is a fair price. If they offered to play PS1, PSP and PS Vita games offline I would've paid up to 300.
You're joking right? 💀
Dude no it’s not lol. A switch lite is the same price, a series s and a steam deck are 100$ more. This is a terrible price. I don’t understand what you guys are comparing this to saying it’s a good price because it’s not
There is only one big question and thats how bad the latency is.
Assuming it’s no different than the mobile app. It varies obviously on connection. But on 5ghz wifi it’s not noticeable unless you’re playing a rhythm game or similar.
I played most of Sekiro on remote play but had to switch to PS5 to fight specific story bosses that needed right reaction times even a little bit of input lag was getting me killed.
@@Otacon1105 Similar to my experience. It's ok for some casual play, but if precision is required it's a kind of a no go. No matter how good the connection will be, you just can't beat the physics.
Imho, the best way to use streaming is as a companion feature. You play the big story missions on your big tv and grind out side quests or play simpler games while streaming from your couch or bed or whatever.
I think Sony understands this, and in this context this device makes sense. It probably won’t sell that much, but since it’s not a separate platform, it doesn’t have to.
It's always noticeable, even in the best wireless connection.
Thanks for a very professional and informative review. I have now preordered the Portal so you should ask Sony for commission!!
Honestly I'm pretty excited for it. I get that it's basic, but to be able to hop into a game while watching tv with my gf seems pretty nice. I'm worried about the sticks and if they will suffer from the drift that my PS5 controllers have had. Hopefully it's using a different technology
I want to see real world tests where people compare latency of remote play on a phone vs this. If it improves there, it will be worth it
Exactly
The problem is the official app is bad, it limits it to 720p >.> Install a third party app and increase the bit rate
@@Dracossaintwhat 3rd party?

Honestly I can appreciate the remote play companion, I’m pretty sure Sony is working on a new actual handheld, they know it’s going to sell, pretty sure it’ll be everything and more of what we expect, those things take a ton of time to develop, I’m happy with this in the meantime. Way better than playing on your phone.

Greetings from.Austria thanks for the great video bro 😊😊😊
Honestly im pumped for this.
Curious to know how the Portal compares to Remote Play on iPad + DualSense for example.
Probably exact same . I don't believe the it's more optimized thing for one min
Your ipad or phone has a better screen.
I would hope it’s better. You gotta figure that this is optimized for that. It’s like a console vs a PC: this isn’t running anything else in the background, no notification popups or phone calls interrupting the game. I’m hoping the dedicated connection means better latency and less variability in connection quality and stream fidelity.
I mean its like $500 cheaper ..
@@NinjAsylum yeah but most of us already have a phone in your pocket and can just buy a controller anywhere from 30 to 100 bucks to remote play .
I definitely will be getting one. I as a 29 year old moved back to live with my parents after a huge hard learned lesson to get back on my feet and I don't always have the most space to play my games.
I wanted to laugh at this comment but I remembered I’ll be turning 29 in November and I’m basically in the same situation as you! Hope the future is good to us 👊
@kotheodore2620 I hope so too. I had moved out at 20 and moved back on 2 months ago and it's been tough. Getting used to not having my own personal space again has been difficult. But we got this! 👍
Pre-ordered and paid for. Excited for the 15th. I got it purely for ease of play. Play on main TV, then head upstairs and continue playing
Good video bro remember watching u from way back your avarage consumer great video bro👍🏻
the hanger feature on the elite headset is soo nice
the design reminds me of those pictures of the switch where it was two wii remotes with an ipad attached.

What I think he failed to mention was that this device doesn't have Bluetooth. Instead, it uses Sony proprietary software. So, if you're someone who wants to use wireless headphones with this device, the minimum cost, instead of being $200, is actually gonna be $350 since you'll have to buy one of the new headphones.
or you can just plug in your 20$ earbuds for better latency...

Not something I’m gonna grab, but it’s nice to see it explained. I wish it was a vita 2 though. Switch rules my handheld space, but I still get down on the vita with some games. Great review dude! Excited about these earbuds for sure! Sony makes great speakers 🤘
Couldn't agree more... I still break out the vita and always joins me on the plane
Ps5 is not like cellphone every 1 year theres new phone to release and your own cellphone need to replace to a new one. Good job sony! My ps5 is not suddenly old
After getting the VR2, I am on the same boat. I wouldn't get it for Remote Play, but if it was a portable game that can download owned games to be played in other places (as if you're traveling), then I would definitely invest. It would totally be what the next Switch should be.
possibly vita 2 will be exactly like ps5 portale but as a standalone handheld instead of cloud gaming from another ps5
@@m4rckzer042 but wouldn't you want to play ps5 in your toilet? that's when the ps portable will come in handy 😂
This isn't going to appeal to everyone and has some negatives compared to today's handheld. But as an example (for me) thus has the potential to be a total game changer. I have 2 young kids, work long hours and really struggle to play on the ps5 as much as u would like without neglecting the family. I may now have the ability to extend that game play without comprising the above. I'll be interested to see if it has improved latency on the remote play as if not I'll be heading fir the steamdeck.

@@johndodo2062all depends on what type of gamer you are. Anyone more than a casual gamer won't really like this because of input lag. Regardless what speed your internet is you will always experience at least a little input lag which for a lot will deem it a waste. But if you don't notice or don't care about input lag then have at it. Enjoy yourself.
@@dabrab6324 It's for people who wants to remote play, so input lag is a given.
This will be useful for family guys with kids , sometimes you can’t sit there and use the nice tv in the living room. This device will allow you to be there in the middle of everything and still enjoy your games. My Steam Deck already does this well
that 150$ headset with planar drivers sounds really interesting. Planars are usually quite pricey, will have to see how them and the mic fairs cause they might make decent pc headset too
Yup and they also bought over Audeze but i will wait for audio reviewers 1st.
I bought for $70 ps gold headset for ps3, ps4 and pc did not disappoint
I really like it. I usually just remote play but this is nice replacement for that I like how it actually has haptic feedback compared to remote play.
I remote play a lot so super excited about this, the screen looks great when you’re filming, would’ve loved an OLED but as long as the LCD is high quality and has great colours.
Sony makes great tvs so this screen will be good
Wish this was a oled or a 4k screen or 1080 @120fps
I always like handheld gaming because you can go anywhere in the house and other people can use the tv. Its honestly the best.
I am not surprised about the pricing of the buds. They are about the same price as other buds. I have the backbone PS edition, and it doesn't have some of the features that a regular Dualshock have. But $199 is not the worse price, as long as the connectivity is good. I wish it was collapsible. Looks kinda bulkly. Especially if I am flying on trips or something. Great video like always Jud! Looking forward to the next one.
It looks the same size as the switch and smaller than others. One thing I was kind of annoyed by is the fact that it’s not oled or maybe it is and I just didn’t see it? I don’t know but for 199 it looks good compared to remote play on my old ipad
From what I understand you need to connect to the same wifi as your PS5 no? It's not usable outside your house it seems
@@pesutgembira”remote play”. U connect to the Wi-Fi THROUGH ur ps5. So u can “play” on the go. But beware remote play sucks. And lags n crashes constantly

@@LaymanGamin thanks for correction. I will wait before purchase. Other reveals say it will come with no additional storage/ slots. So function will be limited...
I think for someone like me who doesn’t want to be playing on a handheld out and about but do want to have a game here and there at home with a wife and kids using up the tv will work quite well. Not exactly a large audience but works for me.
I'll wait until the prices drop on it since this likely won't be difficult to get a few months in. $199 is a bit steep for it, but $129? I think I'd consider.
@gregdunning9330 129? Whatttt a ps5 controller is 68 plus a bigger battery and screen... don't think there's much profit in that
@@killerking7374 yeah but if they’re not selling, which I anticipate they may not sell well, you’re gonna find them cheaper a year after release

Nice told, your review!
I read somewhere recently that Sony bought this high end audio company called Audeze. Audeze specializes in planar magnetic headphones which the new Sony earbuds have planar magnetic drivers. I’m curious on how good they sound. One thing I’m pretty confident in is that planar drivers generally produce a lot of audio detail so they’ll probably be, functionally, really good for gaming.
Oh wow I hadn't heard that Sony aquired Audeze. Excited to see what may come in the audio department then!

Definitely wanna see a comparison of the mobile phone remote play vs the ps portal for the next video.
They won't because a mid-range phone has less lag. Let's see if they dare to show the lag in front of the TV frame by frame. From what I've seen in the videos it has a terrible lag. On top of that, he lies to our faces saying that he "doesn't notice lag".
Thank you so much for the review and pricing. Will be pickup 2/3.
Very hyped
Really good and informative video. Now i understand more what it is. I was pleasantly surprised by the price which i thought was going to be higher. I am in Sweden so maybe it will be slightly more expensive when it comes out?
It's intriguing. If the price was lower it would be an easier sell, obviously.
If it could pair as a second controller that might make it a little more bearable (unless it was mentioned it can be!). Might be a smart move from Sony tbh!
It's $200 my god You're cheap
@@VaunShiz200 for a console that doesn't function on its own is a lot, especially when you can get other handhelds that do for that price. Its not being cheap, its being responsible with money
@@VaunShiz $150 would be a more realistic price though, it's just a dualsense controller with a screen slapped on it, and that screen does the same things you can already do with your phone or laptop.
It costs just as much as a nintendo switch lite which is a handheld console that can run games on its own without the need of another $500 console.
@@VaunShiz so people say a 200$ burger for example is expensive, but a 200$ car is cheap. very good logic you got there mr matt
@@VaunShiz as many other people have pointed out in other comments, there are significantly cheaper alternatives to use remote play. 200 isn't a significant amount, but if it just does that one thing then I'm skeptical.
But I love your enthusiasm about something you know about 6 minutes worth of information about. You must be good with money and with decisions!
I normally play remote play via my Steamdeck and the experience has been mixed. I improved my experience by plugging in an ethernet cable via the USB-C, I am hoping we can still do this with the Playstation portal. In comparison to the steamdeck, this will have a bigger screen, higher resolution, and be significantly lighter. Playing from bed is currently my go to since I am a new dad and need to constantly pause and help out. Wouldn’t trade this for my monitor but it is a useful accessory for those that need to play in bed. Also, with the steamdeck i can’t connect from anywhere, I need to be on the same network, meaning that I loose my PS5 when I travel.
I'm excited to buy one tbh! I been loving my ps5 since day one!
Was worried about the headset but $150 is definitely great. I’ve been using the PlayStation brand headset since the Gold headset on the ps4. It’s simple and easy and looks good
@@bossmodl3thalpoppa484 its not 199 buddy
@@theoscreativetutorials is $199. learn to listen!!

@@bossmodl3thalpoppa484that's also the price of the earbuds. Such a shame that you were so cocky only to be so wrong.
I'll get the "Portal" once someone has hacked it already and allow us to install third party apps, for instance, retro gaming, I'm curious how powerful is the chip inside and how several emulation platforms can perform, maybe up to PS2? Gamecube?. I'd love to see Moonlight, SteamLink, Xbox's remote play, Nvidia Geforce Now, etc... Let's give it some time to get taken apart by the community and unlock its full potential, then, I'll make a decision.
you will 100% need to buy additional stuff to do that (for example, external SSD)
i'm pretty sure 199 is not going to contain anything for you to hack.
Exactly, imagine downloading COD Mobile on it
I don't think you were paying attention to what this is 🤣 The things you want probably never gonna happen 🤣
@@diobrando6270 it has a USBC port, I'm pretty sure you can plug something there other than just charging. I guess people will manage to get some exploit through there and boot from there, for instance, a USBC dongle with some SD card in there. Doesn't need to be an SSD.
@@purplepineapple7893 why? It needs some kind of chip to render the interface, decode the video, manage the wifi, etc... The cheapest could be something on the level of a raspberry Pi. The board inside already has connection to USBC, it's a matter of time for people to make it boot from whatever code they have in the USBC rather than the internal memory, which I'm sure can be overwritten (I mean, they are not releasing this without the option for updates) someone will find a way to wipe it and install something in there, that being either android or Linux, depending on the chip, and once that's done the possibilities are endless.
Would be cool if they made a few dedicated games. Not on the scale of a psp, but enough to make it work if you’re on the go and don’t have decent internet. Would make more people interested I think.
Love your channel bro. May I ask which mic you use?
This was an unexpected surprise to see this vid this morning. The price is in the range I was hoping for. Will definitely be useful in my family setting and how I game. Tho I will definitely have to keep this out of my 5 years old hands lol. The way the screen is designed I can image alot of drop damage this holiday.
Below £150 would have been a good pricing strategy for this. Anything over £200 would have been silly for a pure remote play accessory, so I'm not that surprised.
I can feel how good the joysticks feel from just watching the video.
I imagine if this reaches whatever their success threshold is, that they will eventually drop a full handheld console version (vita) in the future. Can always update functionality later to work as a second screen and other features we would like to see.
I just want shell and screen and throw some Snapdragon 8 gen 2 hardware into it to make a badass emulator 😅
not going to lie, i wouldn't hold my breath, sony is not very forwards thinking, they used to be great cutting edge tech for gaming, but now they just are not even trying. plus with the way they killed the vita, i have zero faith in their ability to get anything out.
@@demonpride1975 I don’t disagree. However, the only chance I see if a true portable is if this sells well enough, and also the community wanting more, for them to ever make something like that.
@@CedricQuartey i don't see this selling as well as sony hopes. it's a very limited audience, as you have to own a ps5 for it to function to begin with. and most people will just use their tv anyways. the only people i see actually buying this are the die hards. and i think after the initial use, it will just sit around.
Vita was able to stream games from the main console, one of the reasons why I bought it, but the problem with it was that the reduced controls did not match well, having the back touch area as trigger replacement did not work out due to the shoddy way it could recognize finger contact!
as someone that utilized the heck out of remote play on my Vita, this is right up my alley. Especially with me traveling now and now that im paying for gigabit speeds at home.
Same
It will look terrible when not on the same internet connection and the inputlag will be horrible don't waste your money on this
@@dwaynethemineraljohnson412I’ve been using Remote Play for years, worry about yourself.
This is actually nice
I just pre-ordered my Playstation Portal
I'm very interested in the Portal. I want to see a head to head comparison between this and the backbone
The thing with the backbone and other devices like it. Streaming to your phone you’ll have annoying black bars that take up space on the already small phone screen. You’re getting maybe 4-5” of screen space on an iPhone pro max. The PSPortal will get 8” of screen space and a controller that’s basically a Dual Sense
@@GK15000It is the portability of a phone that makes it good. Not the actual feature set, hardware, sustained performance etc.
I thought Playstation Portal aka Project Q can use simultaneously with PS5 but it's not. If you are gaming on PS5, you can't gaming on Portal & vise versa. If you play remote play outside the house, it's will be lagging because it's using internet (need more video on this). Lame $200 accessory 🥴
@@Hazemanni dont know why you ever thought that. They were quite clear it would stream your ps5 to the device. Useless for you maybe very useful for me and millions other. A product doesn’t have to be mass market to exist.
@@sly2792004 Sounds like you're coping
The new over ear headphones I was expecting a higher price tbh and definitely not cheaper than the in ear ones. I wanted to know though, if the ear supports are more comfortable than the Pulse 3D which are like cement and really uncomfortable over my glasses. I will probably go with the in ear ones for this reason.
I am interested on the remote play device but only if it has better latency than the phones etc as my wifi isn't fast enough for those
I’m def getting this
It’s good to have tbh. Between football and basketball being on i need it. Also, it will be beneficial especially giving that the games need to be downloaded in order to play on WiFi so i would assume that since its downloaded it will run better than just playing it through the cloud.
This reminds me of those futuristic concepts back in 2012-13
That is the best comparison i have heard yet
I know they made the earbuds more expensive because they know that's what everybody wants. Will probably pick them up at some point. They look dope
I'm getting both. I've been thinking about the pulse 3d or the earbuds. I'm really feeling the earbuds 🥰 and this remote play device to compare it with my ps vita to see if it's a feel for me. I'll probably give it to my little brother lol
I see me getting in trouble at work lol 😂😂😂
