Just found your channel. Very balanced review. Thanks for your take. I did just revive my portal and was on the fence about keeping it. Your video helped me to decide to keep it.
Welcome to the channel! I’ve really come around to it, for sure the Portal won’t be for everyone, it’s no PSP / Vita! But those come with their own downsides. I’m glad my video helped you decide, enjoy your Portal! ✌🏻
I really wish Sony would have made the PlayStation portal to act like the portable Nintendo switch and how you don’t need a wifi connection to be able to remote play.
I don’t have a portal but I have a PS5 and stick drift is crazy with the PS5 controller atleast in my experience.. maybe I’m going too hard on them 😅 but I’ve run through quite a few.. if this portal suffers from that, is it fixable ?
Disable your HDCP setting on your PS5 HDMI to prevent lag/stutters, or remove the HDMI from your console or TV. The Portal will run lag free, dependent on your WiFi strength
Have done this and can confirm removal of hdmi lead from rear of ps5 it plays in rest mode aswell but has to be on for disk thanks for review fair and right I play on it more than 4k hdr old TV
Credible, balanced overview, Jack. Orange seems to be a “thing” with your channel - watch band, fonts. Sensory feedback a plus. Would public Wi_Fi spots be fast enough, assuming you could connect this system? Sorry, Jack, but the audio is still quite poor -reverb and unclear, IMO. Thought you might have solved the issue by now. Cheers!
Cheers Paul! Yep Orange is definitely the theme of my channel haha Depends on the speed of the public WiFi, Sony says you need 5Mbps minimum, recommends 15Mbps for a better experience. Ahh, I haven’t done anything different with my audio this time, went back to the old way and it sounds fine on my end! ✌🏻
It was made to experience ps5 games when you can't play on your TV or play away from home. It just works and the fact it's a dual sense and has haptic feedback and trigger effects and a awesome scream makes it all epic.
@JA-uz7se….who cares, this pos is not even portable. And GL getting wifi travelling with no web browser. Oh want wireless headphones? Yeah fork over another $200 for Sonys proprietary headphones. Good grief.
@@DKN808 I'm using my air pods with it, not sure what your on about. It is portable I play it on my car everyday waiting to pick up the kids form school. I can connect to any WiFi i want. Nothing is stopping me. Your too busy listening to the haters who have been using mostly false stories and your sir are falling for them. Apart from Bluetooth which I've got a work around for, there are no issues what so ever. I'm a happy gamer now as i finally can play them gorgeous PS5 exclusives rather than they collect dust.
A direct connection to the PS5 would have been significant considering it was designed to be played in vicinity of your system, so it's essentially unremarkable on performance versus Sony's remote play. Something worth mentioning is while the Portal doesn't support Bluetooth, the PS5 DOES support Bluetooth (I use a Logitech MX Keys and Mouse on mine for online games).
Yeah I’m surprised they didn’t go for more of a direct connection.. And true, but PS5 can’t pair with any Bluetooth headsets that I know of because of the potential latency
Perhaps the dumbest and most useless item Sony has ever produced. Spend $200 + another $200 to use Sonys proprietary headphones because they couldn’t include Bluetooth. No web browser, no apps, no OLED, no streaming Netflix/Hulu, no gfx processing. Basically a brick without a PS5 that’s not even portable where you can fit it in your pocket. Fail.
What do you think of the PlayStation Portal? 🎮 Check out my Backbone Controller review here! 👉🏻ruclips.net/video/No5wBFe7SQs/видео.html
I'm thinking the portal might be a test.
When people are screaming “MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!” You swooped in and made it make sense! Thanks for the insight.
Haha thanks mate! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻👊🏻

You can use your phone’s hotspot to remote play when on the go
True! And that’s gonna be way faster than a lot of public WiFi..

You mean like you could do for years via PS Remote on a phone/tablet/latptop lol
@@DKN808 oh yeah did they invent the Dualsense back then? With the haptic feedback? Trigger effects ? Wow didn’t know they made these years ago 🤔

I still use my pulse 3D headset when playing on The Portal so buying a pulse explorer is pointless. 🤷
It's sold out everywhere, thanks to scalpers 😅
“The rooter”
It’s the British pronunciation 😁
