No, it's not even in the same ballpark lol. It's a decent little device but since it's not a standalone it can't compare to the Deck or even the Switch
Retards like you have clearly never tried remote play on phones. It‘s terrible and if the portal somewhat works most of the time it‘s already vastly superior to other options
this device is for married wagies that want to sit on their couch while their wife watches netflix and play something but don't want to use their phone to do it. it's niche as fuck.
>How is this different from pairing my dualsense to my phone and using remote play
This piece of shit is capable of only doing remote play. You can't launch anything else other than remote play.
>I'm just waiting to see it hack and to see what fun stuff people can do with it.
It's been confirmed to be a thin client device. That is, it has no real hardware inside of it besides what is needed for it to stream from the PS5. It's a glorified Wii U tablet and it shows.
to try scam people out of money, they are really trying to push it as the vita 2 or at least a long distance streaming device, except they are explicitly avoiding saying it literally because they know they will get slapped with lawsuits otherwise
If it's not, then what's the point? It is just another baffling peripheral then. The Wii U game pad at least was designed for the console from the ground up and had utility outside of just being another screen.
It's not a real portable, it's a handheld that's entire purpose is so married guys can keep playing their PS5 when the living room TV is being used by their wives or kids. It has no purpose beyond that
This works with a server and client pc network system like in Universities.
I doubt this will work in the open world with wireless data or even wifi connections.
We're not even close to ready for that. Remote servers using Azure, Google and Amazon aren't even that capable at doing this well with no lag.
That said, I actually like this form of remote computer use. I don't like Azure/Google/Amazon's attempted monopoly, but I do like the idea of people having a remote PC with high specs for their personal use.
I think they're implying long distance remote connections.
I mean it's an idea, but it's not going to work well with current wireless network infrastructure.
Hell, ethernet connections would barely get good performance this way. Even IT schools with the best in wired networks struggle to get good performance from such systems.
Though that said, in the past this used to be how most computers were, with a remote server and client interface.
Oh is this using the PS5 as a remote server?
So if you have internet you can remotely connect to your PS5 and play on the bus, etc?
This isn't going to work at all. Imagine the lag and the wireless data usage which even richfags will complain about.
>Supposedly
You need to at least be on the same wifi network in order for it to work, best case is using the same router on that network. I have to point this out every thread because there are in fact households that use more than one router as a means to add additional coverage in larger homes or to separate public and private traffic.
What the hell Sony. I thought this was a Switch/Deck copy cat. Not a Wii-U copycat. I guess its okay for trying to solve split screen. But of all the things to copy, the Wii U game pad is not one that is high on my priority list.
How are big corporations so fucking retarded? How are the people who make these decisions such fucking idiots? Make me king of the Sony gaming division and I'll make the PS5 fucking worth buying
Playstation moved to the Greater San Francisco Extended Area, which means the same retarded trust-fundees that came up with the Juicero now get to come up with all the new Playstation crap you've been seeing for the past 5-6 years.
Making an accessory for the depressed people that can‘t get out of bed to play vidya. The only thing more pointless than this would be a dedicated handheld
It‘s just an accessory. Why do people act like this needs to be a hit or something i don‘t get it. It‘s not like it‘s a dedicated console that needs support
There's a thing in business called 'return on investment' anon. This isn't exactly going to sell all those PS5 games (ha), and hardware has traditionally been sold at a loss with the games making up the shortfall. This is not a smart move, at all. At least psvr and the ps dildos had a gimmick.
You think this entire excercise will be cheap for sony? You actually think they will earn a return on this? Sure it probably won't hurt them in the long run but its still retarded.

Preorders were sold out in some places last time i checked so they either didn‘t produce that many because they knew it‘s niche and there‘s no real risk as a result or it‘s doing better than expected and a success
>SEGA tier of mistake.
SEGA die because it was harder for them to compete in the console market, whilst Sony is releasing this product because they can afford the backlash from people, should there be any over this product. This is an accessory after all, it is labeled as such on their website, they never wanted to sell this to you as something as you actually need, because most likely you probably don't, despite what your average consumers might tell you.

Nobody is expecting you to go out and buy a ps5 for this. This is an accessory for ps5 users and nothing more
why is everyone trying to compete with nintendo's dumb tablet?
you can just emulate more games on steam deck than nintendo cares to rerelease on NSO. you literally have more nintendo games availabe if you buy a non nintendo console lmao

Whatever your points are, it is the only handheld device that can play PS5 exclusive titles like GOW Ragnarok, Horizon FW, Gran Turismo 7, Bloodborne, Spider-Man 2, etc.
i usually see products and understand what they're for, even if in a stupid way. but this i do not understand, what does this do that a phone with a dualsense connected to it can't?
Switch and Steam Deck killer?
>REQUIRE PS5 Console to get that handlet working
not really
No, it's not even in the same ballpark lol. It's a decent little device but since it's not a standalone it can't compare to the Deck or even the Switch
I'm not joking
How is this different from pairing my dualsense to my phone and using remote play
It uses magical sony software that makes their $200 earbuds pretend to work better.
It isn't
haptic meme triggers
NTA but if I need a PS5 for it, and already own the PS5 why would I not just use the dual sense on my phone?
Retards like you have clearly never tried remote play on phones. It‘s terrible and if the portal somewhat works most of the time it‘s already vastly superior to other options
I have tried before and it worked just fine for me, get better internet

Has slightly better grip feel and bigger screen
It's literally a chink android tablet with dual sense controller melted in.

yeah, nope.
is that the new psp
uhhhh Switchbros????
>200 dollars for a portable device that won't work without a 500 dollar console or internet
No one is actually dumb enough to buy this right?
I'm just waiting to see it hack and to see what fun stuff people can do with it.
The same stuff you could do with a tablet?
it's literally a shitty chinese tablet with an axe wounded controller glued to it

Damn that's garbage. Why would people buy this?
Must coomsume

Maybe if you hotspot 5G and you have good coverage. I dunno how demanding remote play is.
Bro it says it recommends that you're connected to the same router as the PS5. This will not handle 5G towers well.
get a steam deck you absolute cockmonger
>goydeck
no
If it's not, then what's the point? It is just another baffling peripheral then. The Wii U game pad at least was designed for the console from the ground up and had utility outside of just being another screen.

No, you need to be on the same wifi for it to work
Supposedly this isn‘t the case. Your ps5 and portal just need to be connected to the internet and have a certain internet speed

I have to point this out every thread because there are in fact households that use more than one router as a means to add additional coverage in larger homes or to separate public and private traffic.
I saw a preview that mentioned that you don‘t need to be on the same network. We‘ll see in a few days anyways
are there some games to play on this or something?
It plays PS5 games, so no there won't be any games to play
The vest use for this would be split screen gaming without splitting the screen. The man uses the big screen while the woman uses the bitch screen.
>the bitch screen
If split-screen gaming happens with this then I will call the PS Portal "the bitch screen"
What the hell Sony. I thought this was a Switch/Deck copy cat. Not a Wii-U copycat. I guess its okay for trying to solve split screen. But of all the things to copy, the Wii U game pad is not one that is high on my priority list.

It's a bisected dualsense with a tablet in the middle. If you can hold a dualsense you can hold that.
>andScree
What?
maybe it's the ad writer screaming in pain?
This shit is a fucking Wii U clone, not the Switch. The fuck is Sony doing.

That's too expensive for something that will be abandoned and forgotten as soon as the next console is planned for release

Sony DOES what NintenDID
i usually see products and understand what they're for, even if in a stupid way. but this i do not understand, what does this do that a phone with a dualsense connected to it can't?
I'll try it once I can get it for $99. I'm sure the screen is Amazon Fire tier.
Sony could had revolutionize console gaming with a secondary screen with touch interface.
Imagine switching equipment using the handheld screen instead of going into the live inventory while playing a Souls game.
Can't you remote game with a steamdeck already?
