>you don't have to be holding a PS5 in your hands in order for it to work.
no, but your PS5 needs to be on, running, and connected to a stable network, but call a "handheld" because you can hold it, clown ass!
the battery life is absolutely irrelevant because you will have an outlet next to you in every conceivable situation, a handheld is a console this is a glorified controller. A computer can just do this for free to any Android device. In fact I can already stream my PC to my Switch.
there's literally no decent ACTUAL HANDHELDS left in production atm.
it's kind of a gap in the market really, there's no platform available to developers who just want to make basic cheaper games for a less powerful platform.
the psp and 3DS had plenty of worthwhile budget games made for it, playing games on a home console or pc definitely raises people's expectations of what they want out of a game so it would be cool for a complimentary handheld to come back and serve as a platform for all the smaller spin off titles of AAA series that they traditionally served as.
i suppose you're right, but 99% of mobile games are just skinner boxes designed to consistently and endlessly milk money from you.
plus playing only using a screen sucks.
Just play runescape.
Ironman if RS3 because there is an argument for skinnerbox shit in RS3 but you're just throwing your money into the void to avoid playing the game which is... probably dumber than P2W.
It's fricking shit, streaming only and still $300 for whatever reason. How hard it is to make a decent handheld and support it with some fricking games? I know Sony wants to blow their money, time and manpower on troony emotional walking simulator: the end of dilation, but surely they can put some smaller studios to work on actual video games, right?
anon have you been in some kind of coma,sony FIRED nearly all their third party devs even going so far as to dissolve SOE japan studios at the very start of the PS IV
The only reason the PSP was good was because it had a bunch of good exclusives. Vita was shit because it had none. If they make a handheld it will just be some shitty streaming machine.
What the hell does that thing play? The original Doom?
At least the GPD Win 1, as potato as it was when released at the same time, was able to play most 7th generation games (at minimum settings, even though L3 and R3 was in the world's most moronic spot, right next to the power button, and forcing you to stretch your right thumb to the bottom right rows of keys).
except you cant use it while being mobile. its a glorified shithouse tv. its mind numbingly dumb and again nothing what people actually wanted. why cant they do anything right? why do they fail at everything involving copying shit? who makes those moronic decisions? why does it always seems like they are afraid of missing out? did the wii break their moronic heads?
ey sony let me help you out - many people play games on their phone. why dont you add touchscreen to your controller that nobody fricking uses for its basic function? or wait people use social media why dont you put a facebook button on your controller? or that vr stuff? i think thats pretty big right now.
Sony deliberately wants this thing to fail, solely to use against Microsoft's acquisition of Activision, because Sony will cry when it bombs horribly and drags the PS5's reputation along with it.
Unironically, do you guys not have phones? Ffs, just buy a backbone one. It works with both Android and garbage phones, and you can remote play your PS5 with it for a third of the price.
this is a $300 Remote Play controller, it doesn't work without a PS5
It's still a handheld, you don't have to be holding a PS5 in your hands in order for it to work.
The Battery life will be phenomenal, too. (10+ hours, compared to 1.5 hours on Steam Deck/3 hours Switch)
>dual sense has a battery life of like 5 hours
>adding a screen to it is supposed to increase it to +10

Is it really $300?
Microsoft revealed during the FTC filing that it'll be around that price, so either $249 or $299
That's way too much. It's potentially a cool product, but it shouldn't cost more than $120 or so. At $300, you might as well buy an actual tablet.
I was betting on $150 but I didn't count with Snoys incompetence.
I'd wager somewhere in the field of 340$ for kicks
>It's potentially a cool product
please explain how one could possibly come to this conclusion.
It's this but better.
Well not unless the PS5 had that form factor, which it doesnt and never will.
wat
oh nevermind i didnt look at the screen.
i tried this once and it didnt feel good also it seems you cant use this with internet.
>300 dollars for a Wii U screen that plays game on stream
Fricking disgusting.
>Wii U but with even less games
How did they do it?

Mobile absorbed handheld market that's why.

its a glorified wii-U controller, nothing more, useless piece of shit
It literally has no games, its a streaming device. You can't use it on the bus or in a park, you need a constant internet wifi connection
The only reason the PSP was good was because it had a bunch of good exclusives. Vita was shit because it had none. If they make a handheld it will just be some shitty streaming machine.
>The only reason the PSP was it was so easy to hack to play games for free + homebrew/emulators
>THREE GAMES
Steam Deck is unironically a better playstation portable than this lmao
isn't the deck more expensive?
I was already playing Final Fantasy on my phone ages ago, why are console players so fricking dumb?
you have to understand for them,emulation is still seen as weird/taboo

your phone + a $100 Backbone or Kishi does the same fricking thing
>300USD streaming tablet
Why did anyone think this was a good idea?
I imagine half of its hardware team goes home to look at their Switch consoles in shame
