Is the WD- black for PS 5 is a enough storage to get game because I'm getting GTA 5 and call of duty cold war and fortnite and Friday the 13
Any idea when the PS5 slim will be coming out?
Can you use the Portal as an additional controller? ie 1 player using a Dual Sense via the TV, and another player using the Portal via Remote Play? I used to do this with the Vita and PS4 Remote Play, so hoping it’s still the case. 😊
Is the usb c port charge only, or can it be used for audio output with usb c headphones?
Hello, if my daughter who has a separate guest account on my ps5 wants to play, can you swap the account used on the device easily or profile?
As a father of two young kids, i believe this product was designed for me. If we have a lazy day around the house, I can let them have the tv and i dont have to wait til they go to bed to play games. Pre-ordered weeks ago.
Do yourself a favor and get a steam deck
@@Mybasedworld You don't even know if he owns a PC or not (he would have to buy a whole new library), but still you feel compelled to recommend him to buy a device that costs twice as much.
I wonder why it bothers you so much, it's weird.
iPad and ps5 controller does the same thing (if you have it) 🤷🏾♂️
The only issue would be if they wanna play ps5 too you would need another ps5 to play this since it’s only mirrored
probably better to buy another TV
Lot of people definitely might not find a purpose for this but for parents out there, this is gold.
This is absolute shit, absolute trash and a waste of money. for the same price you can get a nintendo switch which is an entire console on itself
It’s called a phone and a back bone😂 💀 edit: Wii U
just get a steam deck, jfc
If you have kids and can manage latest tech console you must be a drug dealer,politician, renowned artist or even a genius scientist to be able to afford these damn things
@@jc-nr2hy He's saying its a cool affordable gadget for the kiddos. The steam deck is pricier.
I feel like it was a missed opportunity to have this as a stand alone handheld device
Bring back the PSP😢
Agree
literally everyone agrees with you
On the surface yeah but it wouldn't have worked in practice
@@PauSe312Or buy a Steam Deck maybe?
Thank you for such a well thought out review, you answered every question I could’ve come up with.
Thank you for your review.
👍
Nice
So nice
Nice
Good
I don't think you can appreciate how good your videos actually are. Very informative and to the point. Keep it up👍🏾
You actually can use remote play as a second controller, i've played many times like that. You do remote play as player 1 and use a regular dualshock as player too. You can do the same with xbox. You cant connect directly but you can use as second controller. Its sometimes useful. Another use is for who wants to save cellphone battery using a portal instead. Last advantage is use a pal's console, you dont nees to use it with your own console, as long as not in the same time (on single player games)
so if you were playing a fighting game like mk1 you could use this as a control? just it wont show up on the screen?
That’s how I connected an Xbox controller to a Ps5
I have a Backbone with my iPhone and find myself holding it a little too close to my face due to my screen being so small, so I was glad when I saw how big the screen is. I appreciate this video and your honesty.
They lost me solely for all the limitations it has for being actually portable. It looks awesome, if it was more like a switch then I would not hesitate to buy.
It would cost way more. Also you never know, their may be something they add for that capability
@@iinfluencedyoufor $100 more you can get a steam deck that plays games and can stream your ps5 as well
@@iinfluencedyou agreed, 300 bucks is great price. The Rog ally is 900
@@user-wv9ht6xw9iIt is a whole gaming computer for 900 tho
It’s also too laggy to play anything online
Input delay is bad even with 500+ download speed😊
Absolutely mind blowing that they won’t allow you to stream any of the cloud games from your PS Plus subscription. Such a strange choice when it seems like a perfect use case for the Portal.
They are working on a cloud specif8cnservice like Microsoft
It's actually Not mind blowing. I still have my mind. Not blown out.
I'm guessing your new to electronics and gaming, They never release everything all at once with the best of everything. This is literally the first version of this type of gaming device, wait for the PSP Pro and other features to come out. Be patient lad.
Probably don’t want it to affect PS5 sales.
It would probably cause too much latency from streaming a cloud game from the PS5 to the Portal. It could possibly come in a future updates though as they continue to improve remote play
@@xjumpmaster82🤓
Excellent review. Tackling all the aspects that I was wondering.
Wow what a thorough and great review! I appreciate how well you did this! New subscriber now!
Thanks for the sub!
Best review I've seen on this yet. Answered every single question I had, thanks mate. Definitely going to subscribe!
Thanks for the sub!
As always your videos are the best man, the editing and presentation is always crisp and top notch. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the positive feedback.
ok
It's cool but since you can't use it separately dumba it down for me a waist of money
@@SpawnPoiint Hmm Very nice New consoled of The ps5 Portal like Nintendo lite #playstation 📲 !
Nice Portal! I had really been wondering how well this functions as a true remote play device as I am frequently away from home for work in another state, but don’t want to bring my entire PS Setup. I will look forward to truly testing this out in the future. Disappointed with the apparent lag from COD, however, since that would be my go-to game :(
Buy a PSVita.
@@justinkaufman495facts
@justinkaufman495 what are u saying u didn't listen the video u can't do that smh
@nicobailey3264 I'm not sure what you're question is. I watched the video. I've been following this thing for the past year now. It sucks. The PSVita is fucking classic. You can still buy one today, and it dose what this thing does but better. If you still have a PS4 you can even use it to play ps4 games. I'm not sure if it works with the PS5 now but even if it doesn't its better than this piece of shit.
@@nicobailey3264 yeah there are literally multiple other reviews showing the person somewhere other than on their home wifi playing this remotely. PS5 at home, this at work, etc. That’s the point. If it can’t truly remote play what’s the point.
Nice Portal, it does look great and at £200 might be worth it, but as you have said, more so if they open it up to the Direct Streaming from the Gaming Cloud then yes it would then become more versatile and thus more worth the money, even though as you point out about the 'Backbone' and if that is worth £100 then unreservedly it is worth the money in that case!
mines is so laggy
Thanks for the review! It’s exactly what I hoped it would be and you confirmed that.
You hoped it would be a locked down piece of trash?
Sick, bro! Hyped for mine to arrive on Wednesday.
Excellent Review! I'd definitely use one.Nice Portal.
It's handy for and my household, the misses just got this for me for Christmas and I'm buzzing 😎
A nice and well Explained video as always.Appreciate the efforts you put into these videos man,Definitely buying it asap🤘🏻.
The Matilda shot at 6:28 made my day 🥲
NO WAY GARRETT! MY GIRLFRIEND AND I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS
Is that Matilda?
Yeah I burst out laughing at that point!
Can we play Tekken 7 on PS portal
Great review!
I really wonder at their decision to not allow us to use this as a second controller for the console. Surely there’s nothing stopping it?
Thanks for this fantastic review! I know you mentioned about playing at home, not sure if it can be done while travelling to another country?
Easily the best and most in-depth up-to-date video on the PS Portal. Masterful job. Thank you so much! Can't wait for mine to come in a few days :)
Thank you 🙏
ok
Dude just buy a switch or the new stranden. And if u really want to stream buy a good tablet with a controller, the man really just said it has no ability other then play games in home how desperate of a gadget junkies do you people have to be 😅
I've been using my iPad pro for this already and I must say I'm impressed how very low lag it produces and has works excellent 👌🏽 for me. I connect either a PS5 controller via bluetooth or straight wire both works GREAT in my experience 😜
Yeah I too have been doing that with an iPad Pro for years now and it’s pretty good, but it’s still two separate devices and I have to sit at a table to use it. I’m getting this so I can lay back in bed and on the couch and play even more comfortably and only have to use one device. Also, I really like that it’s part of the Sony ecosystem and I don’t have to use a third party device to play my games away from the TV. This will be a more portable option that my iPad and controller set up and I’m so excited for it 😂 now I can set up my iPad outside and play TH-cam videos while I also smoke a blunt and play ps5 on the portal ✅✅ lol
Me too. But I hate carrying my iPad and a remote, just to play on the go…even with the ps backbone and ph. This is better 😜
I’ve tried pc, Mac, wired, wireless, iPhone, and iPad with remote play and the lag is why I’m getting this device.
@@thevolta89do you think this will have less lag there Volta? I was thinking about just using one of the other devices you mentioned but I didn’t know if the lag would cause some games to be unplayable vs using the Portal instead of
@@hdroid18 Tell you what, @ me here in two days in case I don’t remember but I’m going to get mine tomorrow so I can report back.
But according to Some articles talking about their means of connection via their hardware, the lag is less. I also saw a dude on Reddit do tests and mentioned it only like 2 milliseconds behinds a dualsense controller which is nuts.
Thank you for all your information it helped me plus earbuds don’t like my ears so I’m getting the headset when they come out
Nice Portal! 💙
So apart from physical portability, how does this compare to an iPad Pro 12.9” with a DualSense controller connected to it? I tried this out on the same WiFi network (which exceeds the recommended requirements). The resolution looks great but the frame rate seems to drop from time to time. Playing Trails to Reverie.
leaving a message because i also want to know ( i also use iPad Pro with controller for remote play)
I absolutely need one of these! I have used a lot of remote play on my phone and this is going to be a real game changer for me!
Cool
Yes, save that phone battery for more important things 👍🏾 it’s crazy how battery anxiety isn’t a real problem until it is.
@@Digital-_-SpiritFAX
Can't wait to use it in two days. I dont play multiplayer games anymore, but often I don't want to sit behind my desk to play. Sometimes I just sit downstairs in the living room while my parents watch tv, or when I'm in bed, or in the garden. Now I can play everywhere. I think this device makes me play games 2 times more than usual. I hope it's great. Nice Portal 💙
Exactly the same reason why i bought it to👍
Glad I watched your video before buying it, thought it was a standalone console i can use during my break at work
Hoped so too
Just purchased one for my fiance! Thanks for your review! I was hesitant at first but! I know he'll love it!
Nice Portal!
Great video and makes me want one even more! I’m currently playing Remote Play via the app on my phone with a controller mount - but would just leave the seamless experience this can offer!
Cannot wait to snag myself one!
The 8 inch screen seems really nice!
Nice portal! Great review thanks for your video!
Nice portal thank you so much for showing you can use this with any wired headset definitely want this as tv is sometimes too big and finally a "handheld" ish with nice controls.
Glad I could help Thanks too.
Thank you for your review. Thank you for focusing on what this device was actually made for. I was 95% sold on this because I have only one big TV in my home and and so I am restricted to gaming for 2 hours a day after work if I'm luck or gaming overnight on weekends when everyone else is sleeping.
With the connectivity question answered, I will definitely try this.
There’s a lot of hate for this device. But for what it’s supposed to do it’s good.
@@SpawnPoiintwhat are the main reasons for it receiving a lot of hate... Seems to that if it connects well and isnt laggy, that this should work pretty well!
For the price couldn’t you just buy another tv
@@joostdijkema6659Main reasons is that it’s a remote play device and you must have an internet connection which completely defeats the purpose of a portable device and the ps5 portal is not like psp ,those are the main criticisms.
@@joostdijkema6659no Bluetooth and if you have to sign in to public Wi-Fi or have to accept terms you can't use it. You basically need a unlimited hotspot to use it away from home. Hotels and most public places require at least a agree to terms to use WiFi.
I'm glad you covered the streaming of media apps and cloud gamming. Alot of reviews didn't. I would definately hit on this handheld but for now I will wait to see if they eventual unlock.
Best review i found on TH-cam!
Wow, thanks!
nice portal! im finally able to get mine today! Had to wait for stock to come in. Got my carry case from amazon and im trying to decide if i want to get the glass screen protector or not. Do you have any opinion on the screen protectors?
Great review as always! A few very minor things aside, I’m incredibly hyped to get my hands on it and have some fun!
This wasn't a review. This was an ad without the ad notification.
@pidow ???
I love it!! Can't wait to get mine on delivered on Launch day!!
Finally getting mine Saturday argos just got stock for Saturday pickup.
Nice Portal 💙 Thank you for the very detailed review!
I’m wondering lastly if I were to log into the ps5 and then someone come behind me and log in as well, would I be able to play on the portal on my account while they plaid another game on the tv on their account? I’m assuming no because you said you can’t play two different games but is that also considering two different accounts?
Great review. Can't wait until the 15th. I work from home & this will allow me to play while working.
Great, thorough review! The fact that it doesn't support Bluetooth headphones is mind boggling, otherwise it seems like a cool device.
PS5 doesn't either, you need a dongle to even use a PlayStation brand headset
@@covidoutdat19thwardyaheardmereally, didn’t know that about the ps5. I wonder if it will work via my tv’s bluetooth🤔
I didn’t know that PS5 doesn’t support BT with other headphones other than what is compatible with the PS5. I bought a dongle off Amazon. It’s the Avantree C81 USB-C BT adapter. It has a USB-C as well as a headphone jack that is BT compatible. It is the best thing I bought for my PS5.
It doesn’t have Bluetooth, but it has an entire button dedicated solely to PlayStation Link headphone pairing.
I remember the switch didn’t support Bluetooth but they eventually added it later so hopefully that happens
Nice portal and thanks for the review
Nice portal 💙
Thank you for the video.
I was so looking forward in playing MW3 and BF 2042 with the portal but you told us there is a lot of lag.
Do you still think I should get it?
Great review!! I pre ordered one last week & can’t wait to get it on Wednesday!! Hopefully there’s cases that we can buy for it so we don’t break it. Always love your reviews!!
Venom case on amazon but not out till December...case, screen protector and thumbgrips for £20
Hey there! Great breakdown and overview of the device. One of the better ones I’ve seen. Just a question, what was your experience like using the Portal in different rooms in your home? Do you have a Mesh wifi setup to help mitigate any possible lag from using it away from the PS5?
Watch the video
Quick question do i need to carry my ps5 to play it whenever off road
If they can add the streaming aspect then I’m all in.
Nice Portal
Nice portal 💙 I'm happy with this review I pre ordered the portal a few days ago (took a while to get it) but my main concern was the lag and this review definitely helped me feel more justified in my purchase thank you!
@@silvarian steam deck is super cool! But I'm gonna be honest I have my portal already and it's sick it's works for my needs as a dad and husband who's wife loves to watch her shows. It would be much better if this thing could go offline but i knew I'd use this for couch gaming while tending to my newborn and the wife watches TV and In bed its also cool that I can take this to say a family members house or a friends and not have to haul my entire PS5 with me
Nice vid! Been watching your stuff while waiting for my ps5
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you too.
I'm thinking whether I should get this or the Steam Deck. PS5 Portal would come in handy as the console is connected to a TV that is used for TV series binge watching a lot. I understand it need to be connected to the console with wifi. I believe the Steam Deck allows you to go anywhere outdoors and play. But I don't know if it needs wifi in order to play. Great video demonstrating the PS5 Portal Remote Play. Looks like.
The Steamdeck is a PC, in the cover of the gamepad, that is, imagine that you are holding a desktop PC in your hands. Of course, if you download the game on it, you can play it (if you don't need the Internet for it) or any other application. Don't even look at the piece of garbage from Sony, this is another deception.
It looks awesome. The only issue is if the controller buttons mess up or analog you have to send the whole thing in to fix. I wonder how the warranty is.
To play you need to have a PS5 and a cell phone with a common controller, it connects even faster with remote play, since this shit Playstation Portal has an Adeno 610 processor
It looks so cool. And if they got it to where it could do the cloud gaming independently, I would be all on board.
They refuse to do it.
You’re forced to have your ps5 turned on while gaming outside of your home
@@kxnzo1089but you can be away from home?
@@--PaZuZu--wtf you talking about. Can be played anywhere with any kind of internet connection
@@--PaZuZu--your completely wrong, you only need a Wifi connection to connect, you don’t need to be near your PS5, you could be in another country in a hotel on Wi-Fi and it would work perfectly because it’s all about your Wi-Fi strength and not how close your console is.
Definitely picking this up, it’s a must cop for a Dad who games
haha that's exactly my thinking too
Same. I have a 3 and 2 year old. I rarely get to play my PS5. Yet, I have Spider-man and Baldur's Gate. So this will be perfect for those.
@kannon6372 I don't think the PS5 can play two games at the same time, so you can only use it when your console is free.
You could always use remote play app from Sony on your phone.
It’s perfect for bedtime too!
@SpawnPoiint you’ve failed to mention that the portal doesn’t currently have or support native security features. If the portal is lost/stolen, the next person who picks it up will have the freedom to connect this portal to their own PS5 and use it as they wish. So for everyone out there please make sure to at least apply a PIN to your PS5 unit until Sony comes up with a patch or support for the feature. I found this out myself because I have a PIN on my PS5 and when the portal successfully connected the PS5 required the PIN before I could use it. If you do not have a PIN, it just goes straight to XMB dashboard letting the next person have access to your unit.
That parents bar really got me 😤 sold and following 😂
Good review man. When i first saw this I thought it was a terrible idea. Now I think it looks pretty good.
I will say - I reckon they lost money not having this out during Covid - Imagine the man hours people would've put on PlayStation if they could be anywhere in their home whilst on the console. Nice Portal 💙
No kidding, it would’ve sold like hot cakes
There is always the next virus.
Yeah because they couldn’t use their TV’s while at home because COVID something something.
@@henrybarney3202 I could see it, parents whose kids are stuck on the TVs, gamers whose main setup isn't in their main space / room etc.
I'm looking at it from a living with family standpoint.
I remember vita and psp fanboys calling this stupid or saying to just get phone attachments. People finally getting what it's meant for 😅 I honestly love this and can't wait to pick it up. Especially as a dad with a family tv.
Nice Portal! Great review 👏🏾 👌🏾
Just got mine today.
Nice portal
Where you got it from? Seeing its out of stock at retailers
@christopherross8976 Got mine new off ebay. Probably from a scalper.
These are the type of reviews I love. Fantastic video.
Thank you 🙏
Love your content man, videos are always clean an Krisppyyy!
This was extremely informative for someone like me who travels consistently for work, I wasn’t sure if you needed to be on the same wifi network as the device (PS5) but this is a nice start for PS if they’re serious about getting into the handheld royal rumble. The Only early gripe I see is not being able to swap out the thumb-stick modules but we cant have it all 😅.
Thanks man I appreciate it.
It will not connect to a public wifi, like in a hotel, because it lacks a browser. You will need to provide it a personal hot spot. No Bluetooth either...
bro i love your videos
Thanks dude!
4:15 "a few others"
*Gets all handhelds in existence*
😂
Great video here. I've been using mine for 3 days now and am extremely impressed and happy with it. This is a new device and I'm sure this will be updated with more features as we go along. Thank you for mentioning the touch screen buttons. I had to check the user manual to find that out.
The only way it can get updated is if Sony updates their PS5.
@@Leafwink then let's keep our fingers crossed they do it.
How's lag?
Ever since this was announced (and up until now) I've always thought that the main reason is playing away from home with remote play. I get the reasons you mention for playing at home but that literally happens once in a very while. Internet in my country is quite good in general (usually a gigabit connection or atleast 800mbps) so it's good to hear that it will be usable from outside the home.
I agree, a portable handheld not usable outside your house, is the dumbest thing i have ever seen
Nice portal
😊
I've been trying to connect while ps5 is off, just to try if it would work outside of the house and it doesn't. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong ...
@@streetgame89your PS5 has to be ON or in REST MODE for you to be able to connect away from home In general period would recommend rest mode
If you have to login in to public Wi-Fi or after to term it's useless, and most hotels and public places require you to agree to terms. Unless you have a unlimited hotspot it's useless. The cost just to use it is over $700, a PS5 and the portal and 5hen upgrading your phone plan to unlimited hotspot.
Question. Can you play on this remotely with your main living room console while others use the same console to watch a movie on it?
nice video which shows well the portal. im not into handheld but i decided to buy a portal because i like new gadget and cool video gaming stuff. i prefer play on big tv than on handheld but this portal is special with the half controller each side and a big 8 inch screen. i know this thing has limited capabilities since it only stream the PS5 and nothing else but it seems to do well for what it was made for. it can be fun being able to sit in your bed while playing or anywhere in your house.
Wait, you're filming this on your phone? And your visuals are that clean? Insane... Super excited for the PS Portal too.
Haha yes. Everything I create online is on iPhone.
This looked so damn good and I was thinking of buying it but not being able to use it as a second controller really disinterests me on it
So my iPad Pro with a much bigger screen connected to remote play and my DualShock controller connected does everything this does and more. Nice 👌🏽
Nice portal ❤️ (nice vid, I appreciate you)
finally someone answered the question about ps5 needing to be fully on or rest mode
literally.
This was my main wonder. Just got mine a couple of days ago. Still trying to figure out how to run the Portal while my PS5 is in rest mode.
Can I use it to turn on my console remotely? Can I use it using a different wifi network?
Looks really tempting to get now after your review. It differently needs a carrying case though.
Nice portal. If only this lets you install your own games, as well as remote play via ps5 this would be great. They could of done so much with this, they could of had 'The Portal Store' etc etc.
I had the original PSP so it’s really cool they brought this back
Excellent Review thank you! Cannot wait to get mine! Thanks for showing your Net strength too as I have fiber 1g and with all the stuff I have on it I still sit between 200-300mb down most of the time. I was wondering what this took to feel fluid so you helped me not stress over that.
Cheers!
Hardwire ps5 for 1 gig out and then your wifi should be around 4-500 mb for the portal. I did that for a tablet streaming setup and it was almost seemles with Harry Potter. Super quick
Fancy
I dont understand whats the point of this. If you need a ps5 and it has to be connected what is a use case scenario for this that you couldn’t already do with the mobile. Its useless
@@themadakh3229Got kids and wife that use the TV most of the time. Now I can chill on the couch hang with them and still catch up on my backlog of games. May not be for everyone, but for me it's deff worth the 200 price tag.
@@themadakh3229 if you are married you will understand lol, wife hates watching me play but doesnt want me to leave the room to play.
Looks great looking forward to meeting mine. I have psvr2 too and love it
Do you have to manually switch on your ps5 to use the device or can you switch it on from the portal ?
This is nice. Long as your system is hooked up at home, you can connect to WiFi & play whatever’s on your system
Nice portal 💙
Great review mate, I was a bit undecided on this one to try save some money but your review has made me wanna preorder now 😂 would be so handy with the kids and all… plus I love my handhelds! luckily it’s not out til Feb here in Aus so got a bit of time to save!
Thanks man, I appreciate you stopping by too.
Thanks for the review. The latency bit confirms my doubts about the Portal. Unfortunately, I only play competitive fighting games that don't work well under laggy conditions. After giving up on the Backbone, I was hoping that the Portal would be a convenient way to practice away from my larger monitors. Seems like my only safe bet is a dedicated handheld PC.
What is your internet speed though? His internet speed is low / sucks wait for a review in which there is like 300mbps or something
@@swineflu07 I'd say that I have relatively good Internet speeds. About 18 - 30 ms ping, over ethernet to most game servers, on average. Though, I doubt that has anything to do with the latency I'm concerned with, which occurs over the local network. Someone would have to test the Portal against the best WiFi router, within the same room, to give us all a best case scenario.
@@ciscorey6520 some reviews have showed the ps portal is better than what’s shown . You have good speeds and low latency so the portal should perform better for you compared to this guy
@@ciscorey6520competitive fighting games are never going to feel good over wireless when you have to make frame perfect inputs
I’m in the same boat, my wife pre ordered for me. I only play call of duty really but seems this guys internet is not as good so probably why the delay is noticeable. I have 500mbps so hopefully no issue
Is it just me or does he sound like the guy from How It's Made?
(Great video btw)
Nice video as always mate!! I pre-ordered mine earlier today and just now it hit me; what to do when the thumbsticks start to drift? :/
Nice portal 💙
It is up to Sony now to either make this device a beast or a forgettable device, allowing cloud streaming and some sort of menu to download media apps or stream them from your console would make a world of difference IMO
This the one. Sony has an habit of making dope devices and giving up support. Let’s change the narrative. Streaming and apps would be freaking god send with this device.
The proprietary playstation link instead of bluetooth is a major red flag for me.
@@turismoride6617 True!
lol you asking for things that will never come. You would hate streaming a game to your ps5 then streaming to your portal. Your lag would be ridiculous. This is not for media it’s for gaming watch your phone or your tv for media lol.
@@turismoride6617Bluetooth sucks that’s why lol.
the addition to stream it anywhere with wifi just solidifies that i need to buy it. i always put my ps5 in rest mode anyway to prevent database damage, so this will be perfect to play some bloodborne at class😏
Man, this would be amazing if it had a way of connecting more than one to a console for split screen gaming / couch coop gaming. My two boys almost exclusively play split screen.
"I was really worried because it's not an OLED screen" is the most first world problems thing I've ever heard in my life.
I honestly would have nearly paid $400 for a new PlayStation handheld that could natively play the entire PS4 back catalog as well as stream the PS5 (or play lower-spec PS5 games). Knowing things like the Steam Deck are more powerful than the PS4, it's more than possible, and because it's Sony, they have the ability to shrink the die of a PS4 APU to make it much more power efficient.
I wish😢
I wish too. i feel like The markets too competitive though. Switch and steam deck do it so well. Plus, they probably still have PTSD for how hard ps vita loss them.
Sony wont go to that market again after the vita. The model of creating 2 version of every game are not profitable. Sony makes money mostly from software.
@@AndrewHadi07 This time around they wouldn't have to. this handheld I'm thinking of would just have a die-shrunk PS4 APU in it, so PS4 games would natively play
This looks cool I could see my self grabbing this to play a quick session while on break or having a lazy day or it’s movie night. Great review !
9:06 playing while you away is awesome as long as you have good WiFi you can definitely enjoy your games away now. You just need a case for the thing
Great video thank you! any suggestions for cover or case?
I got mine two days ago. Its pretty Good!
Nice Portal 💙 This is perfect for me… I travel quite a lot with work but everywhere I go has Wi-Fi I feel like this device is absolutely perfect for what I need, I only play slow paced single player games anyway so I’m hoping the lag won’t be an issue 😊
Sorry to burst your bubble man, but it has to be connected to the same Wi-Fi as your PS5. Meaning you can only play it at home or wherever your PS5 is
@@anthonyhunter2664 it can be connected from any Wi-Fi including mobile hotspot
@anthonyhunter2664 that's absolutely not true! Have you not been watching this video carefully around travel?
@@anthonyhunter2664 also you clearly havnt watched the video because at 8:40 he says it spawnpoint says it can be connected anywhere as long as there is an internet connection
I promise you the experience won't be nice at all
If Cloud gaming was included with the Portal, it would be a game changer as you said. I currently use a Backbone for Cloud gaming via Gamepass either when im home or out and about. Works for me, but I'd enjoy Cloud gaming support from Sony as well.
At present, £200 for a Remote play only device feels steep. More so, when you realise that if you want to use wireless headphones with this, you'll need to fork out another £120 to £200. Im hoping that the existing Pulse 3D headset gets a firmware update to allow PlayStation link to work on this.
This is why they don't want to do it lol imagine using your portal for gamepass lol that will be the best of both worlds.
I know that is impossible, what I'm referring to is that I'd like Sony to do Cloud gaming support similar to how Xbox do it with Gamepass. Sony are just starting the PS5 Cloud streaming, and I believe the Portal would be ideal for Cloud gaming from Sony.
Why Sony doesn’t allow users to use their own headphones astounds me. The ps5 recognizes my AirPods then tells me nah fuck you we don’t support Bluetooth audio devices However if your Bluetooth audio device is our shitty headset we’ll allow it
Bro when will you show your new gaming setup and room tour
Great review
