Play PS5 games over home wifi?
Yeah, I can already do that... It's called "Remote Play".
https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/remoteplay/lang/en/
Busted my achilles tendon, got stuck in bed, being able to play PS5 and Xbox Series X games remotely on my Steam Deck was a lifesaver!
sure, you can. the only way i can is with a tablet which isn't a great solution. So yeah, big shock, if you have steam deck you don't need this.
Funny thing is, if this would've been a follow up to the Vita, we would've seen the same statements. 'My steamdeck is more powerful and can play more games lol why do I need this?'. On top it would've been more expensive.
Plus the pricing would've been a tough pill. The cheap steam deck is 420€, the 'good' variant with 256gb is 550€ already. You can buy a ps5 disk version at this price already. Paying something around this for a super specced down ps5 with awful battery life? Who wants that.
On top, people are forgetting Nintendo's absolute dominance on the handheld market. Most people that are interested in handheld gaming, own a switch. Those who want more performance or emulation on top, got a steam deck already. This device would fill such a niche spot for, again, probably only a bit cheaper than a PS5.
The remote player, for 200€? I can easily afford as addition to my switch for playing games at home, and wherever I want (because I only game in places I have WiFi anyways), with much better quality (1080p60!) while still having good battery life! They say they aim for Dualsense battery life, which people argue is bad, but it's still like 2 times that of my switch.. if they actually achieve that, that'd be insane.
No Bluetooth? Only gives you awful delay tho, someone please try on their phone with remote play and then be quiet for heavens sake. Also never wanted to use headphones on my switch. And if, there's even a headphone jack? Anyways, the launch date trailers got lots of likes with barely complaints. I think this is just a weird random outcry again
Sure, but if you don't own a steam deck already, and you only have a PS5, this will be less expensive.
And 2x the price of a good Samsung tablet that can also do remote play. Plus more functionality.
I've played on a tablet, and I would prefer to have a proper controller.
You can pair a PS4 dual shock or PS5 dual sense with an iPad or MacBook (or, indeed, iPhone) and use the PS Remote Play app with it. I was doing this earlier today in fact. Works pretty well.
Yea same. Also I've checked on my MacBook yesterday and the highest selectable quality is 720p. Having 1080p in a comfortable device I can easily lay on the couch with .. why are people against it so much? It's awesome, and cheap lol
I think for me the issue is the price and the niche usecase. I could just prop my laptop/tablet up and use remote play, if they expanded remote play to do this same thing. So it feels like for the price, we're getting a device that is a Frankenstein of a controller and tablet, but can only be used for streaming PS5 games locally. Feels like something that will have zero resale value too, ya know? So it's just the value proposition for me.
You can use a proper controller with a tablet as of Android 11 I think it was, maybe 12? Just connect it with a cable.
I do this on my Deck too, but... Playing PS5 games on a 720p screen just feels wrong. I love emulating older games and playing a lot of PC games that aren't as visually intensive on the Deck. But things like Horizon Zero Dawn or even Monster Hunter World feel pretty heavily compromised.
If the Logitech G Cloud was $200 I'd be strongly considering it. I've seen some leaks that this Portal might run Android, or be able to. Of that's the case, this will be a better, cheaper version of the G Cloud. I have a gaming desktop, so having that be my main streaming device woukd be tempting.
