PS can anyone name EVERY game shown on the PlayStation Portal in this video!? 😎
The next Playstation portal should be Vita 2 or something portable that can operate without Wifi and have a SD card slot and I agree all the things mentioned in this video such as bluetooth, latest wifi and OLED screen and the Hall effect joysticks are a must- haves. And it looks like it will be out in 3 or 4 years time. Can't wait.
The only thing that I think it really needs is to not be a streaming only device. It needs to be able to play games negatively even if they’re just digital games from your library. I can’t seem to get my PlayStation portal to connect to my PlayStation five through a Wi-Fi hotspot from my phone and the whole reason I need this is for when I’m not at my house. If I’m at my house I have a PlayStation connected to a big beautiful 70 inch screen in two different rooms. I need it for when I’m in hotels every other week.
Good call, but would need a memory slot and obviously everything else to run the games but I don’t think I’d be prepared to buy a new portal even if it was miraculously affordable given that I barely play on my one and I have no connectivity issues. But realistically, you’re looking at costs not to dissimilar to a steam deck and with PS6 launching possibly in 2028/29, this won’t happen. So we’re better off with a portal that streams only because it would compatible with future console generations… I would expect at least
They need an automatic resolution and frame rate settings that switches when using the ps5 or portal so that you don't have to be switching resolution whenever using the ps5 or portal for a more stable connection.
The PS portal amazing and that’s coming from someone that usually games on an LG OLED, 4K, 120hz(when available). All you gotta do is follow a few steps to prep your internet for it and it works great. Blew my expectations out of the water. It’s so convenient and I get to play now while the TV is being used.
I would like to have a rounded edge around the charge port and aux port also some light colour around them I'm having problems seeing it when it's dark, front firing speakers would be nice to, and I also like a combination where you push like a dedicated settings button and up and down on the left stick in order to change the brightness off the screen while you're playing, like you can do on the steam deck. I really like my portal 😊
I like almost all your suggestions I will say I don't care about streaming services at present but it should be possible, physical Media no but I agree that you should get a digital copy if you buy a disc version. Bluetooth definitely has to be there I bought the inears ones from playstation, my ears i can't hear the difference, and they have some features missing when you think about the price no anc, not waterproof if you want to use them as headphones for your phone, no touch. I have cheaper galaxy buds that are way better and cost less, the best case if anyone is wondering is the Spigen case the handle is just weird and it's the only case that I found where you can have the case for the headphones in, they also have a case for your unit so if you drop it that is also very good
Imagine if it was a legit companion to your gaming console when you play the games on your regular TV it shows up the map or character info and data, game menus or anything other than just mirroring the screen I think that would be awesome. Better audio please, the speakers on it are pretty bad. Slightly brighter screen as well. It’s not too bad now but I think it could be a little brighter. At least compete with phone screen brightness please.
This sounds kind of like what the Wii U controller was like and it was a flop, I think things where devs need to make big changes to the game or basically a different game are not worth it for them these days as it would only work on this platform, as dev support would be key with any new hardware, definitely agree that brighter screen would be very good especially for using outdoors! What would be your number one feature you would like to see on a new portal?
@@purepsx I think it’s possible if they actually support it vs forgetting it’s there like the touchpad on the controller. It’s barely used for anything these days. Imagine looking down from your TV and getting everything expressed in my earlier comment. I know the Wi U failed but if done right, I think it could be a game changer but only if the devs do their jobs and support features like that. But as you say nowadays things like that probably won’t happen. Having an actual companion for the console would be my number one feature. I say it can happen if they do it right.
Honestly the brightness is more than enough, it killed my battery within 3 hours like an iPhone would die within two after being charged for 12. There's nothing wrong with the max sound volume.
@@Holy_Venom the brightness is ok but it could be better. The battery could get a spec bump as well because If they make it brighter why not put a better battery to compensate for the power drain. The speakers on it are trash, no mid or low information. Now I’m not talking bass but we need something we can hear and feel a little more. This is Sony we are talking about. They sort of specialize in sound. It’s clear they put together the cheapest components in order to get us the Portal when they themselves know that they could have given us a little more with this product. I bet they have a pro version lined up.
PS need to have the decency to introduce PS Cloud for such a device. Love using Xbox Gamepass Remote out and about, so easy. Dont need to leave my xbox at home in remote mode either, I just game from the cloud.
I think this is something they may look at in the future one console sales are saturated as I think they won’t just now to protect console sales as they are doing so well unlike Xbox which is just opening up to everything due to their console sales being so poor (I’m not hating I also have a series S and X and love them!) I just think this is a business thing right now
I'm more excited about the next generation pc like xbox than the next generation ps as its currently on track. Steam, xbox, potentionally geforce now, (which they'd have to do away the deal with amd) on one next generation console. Now the remote device for that is what I'm truly excited about. The steam deck isn't floating my boat so much, I hoped the portal would be more, but between the gateway 2.4/5 limitations and mobile hotspots running nat3, it's alot of work. I hold hope but I think Sony need to freshly recalibrate and have an exact picture of what's next. Same for microsoft, this whole xb 1 s and xb series x release deal kind of sucks of soul xbox users. When games are held back after pc and ps5, because devs have the added task of refining games to run on the S and X, apparently Microsoft say both platforms, with same features, except rare exceptions, baldurs hate split screen for example.. Next gen I think both need to focus on a solid sole next gen console and build future eco systems around that. Just the rants of a Complex autist 😂
As for this price hostage situation with digital downloads, that's getting irritating. They'd all do well to adopt a steam like sale model. Always grab a top tier game for a bargain. Although, credit to ps premium lately
So the thing about the physical disc and also getting a digital copy with it is that you could return the physical disc or trade it in and still have your digital copy it would give them a massive loss in physical copies
Could make it that you need to “check in” on your ls5 system say once a week or something so it knows you still have it to use the digital token? I Duno just be some smarter way to do it
I definitely like the idea of some type of way for you to be woe to play physical copies on the portal without actually having the disk in maybe Sony could charge like an additional 3 to 5 dollars to have a digital version on the cloud just for your portal or ingenarel use this way you don't have to have your system on and a better way to use it to turn the system on other then having it in rest mode
Yeah I Duno how they would work the physical digital thing out tho, cuz say they just charged an extra 5 dollars but then people could just sell the physical copy so they have then got a new game for like 5 bucks? There needs to be something else so people can’t do that but I’m not sure what that would look like, really would be cool if they could sort it tho!
@purepsx I didn't think of that one yeah they would lose a lot of money on that one and it's hard to register a serial number to play on one system cause then there would be no trade in system hopefully they can make something work out
5G would be cool! No word on a new portal yet but they are supposedly working on a new handheld gaming console! Check out the video on my channel about it! Nice, what games are you looking forward to playing on your portal when you get it?
If Sony do all those upgrades the price will be 300 plus which is pushing into console level price. however I love my portal and my switch but some games have to on the console and big tv because the smaller screens do not do some games justice. I do not think I would pay over 250 for any handheld that's only playing console games
Yeah I wouldn’t pay over 250 for a streaming device too! I think I would pay over 250 if it allowed the games to be stored on the dive like a proper psp 2 or vita 2 tho! What do you think about a device like that?
The case will never happen on the next version probably. A better resolution, screen, and better wifi I can definitely see that. The one thing the current one is missing is the ability to use Netflix, and other Apps. If you want all this stuff added you are looking at an increase of price to 500-600 or so. What Sony could do with the next one is bundles maybe. You could get just the new portal with the new modifications to the system. Or the bundle with accessories which will cost more. Maybe something like that? I also hate the whole proprietary Bluetooth headphone thing. I also heard from reviews that they aren’t great. They need to be cheaper if they are proprietary. Not 200$. I’ll just plug in then.
PSportal cannot be a flop, the difference between a peripheral and a platform is that every unit is sold is a huge profit. It can be no more of a flop, than a Dual sense controller, or a Pulse headset. Sony dont need to sell them, but each one sold pays for itself. A console needs to sell huge numbers so games can sell well to cover the cost of game development. I do think that the reason the hardware is so basic (no wifi 6 etc.) is because Sony repurposed a huge backlog of Sony tablets they had in storage that they coldnt sell.
@@purepsx no, PSVR is a platform. It has its own library of games. It needs to sell numbers to make software development viable. A peripheral does not. Sure it could sell more, but every unit sold is making them money, and is actually selling far more than Sony ever expected. Their expectations of the Portal were low.
@@SteveDavies80 I honestly don't see how low they really expected it to sell when the PSP was a revolutionary thing in its time, literally one thing that is missing that will make the PlayStation Portal a better modern-day version of the PSP, and that is streaming. I never had a PSP growing up, my friends always had one, my cousin's always had one, I never did, and I rarely ever got the opportunity to play with one and use one, so this feels like a whole nostalgia field trip for me, reliving my childhood in a better perspective for the first time when it comes to the PSP and the PlayStation Portal.
@@Holy_Venom I guess that companies like Stadia and Onlive have failed pretty bad, so Sony dont expect too much from it yet. When streamin works its amazing, and when its bad its very bad. I just dont think the technology is available for everyone yet. I definitely agree that giving more choice on the portal would help sell even more. Cloud streaming and even video streaming apps should have been available from the start.
Bro what?!?!? 😳😒 I just got my PlayStation portal yesterday and they're already starting to come out with a PlayStation Portal 2??? How about fix the battery life on the first one and allow us to stream and play the games that have to be streamed and can't be downloaded on the PS5 before you go and make a second one! Edit: YES NUMBER 2 IS THE BIG ONE FOR ME! I'm glad you feel the same way!
Don’t worry, there won’t be another iteration anytime soon. The gaming industry, like many others, are going through a massive transformation as investment has dropped. People saying PSVR2 is a failure simply don’t understand how economics works. One has only to check how many games were made exclusively for PS5 generation since its launch….. very few last I checked. VR2 is no different and yet still has enough games to get you by. Usually gaming companies sell hardware at a loss in the hope of increasing their ‘install base’ and get more commission on games (I think 30% for each game sold)…. So it makes zero sense to launch anything other than cheap plastic accessories they can make big margins from (like a case)
If it doesn't have cloud it would be pointless releasing another. This one sucks because there's no cloud gaming. I don't find myself using it much because in order to get to my ps5 I have to use an unsafe passthrough option. Also, leaving the ps5 in rest mode and my xbox in rest mode for a week was surprisingly alot more expensive. So for it to be a success, as I started, without cloud gaming it pointless releasing it.
Yeah a browser on bored the device would be great! Stay tuned for my video on the Abxylute handheld I show on this video as it has a browser too! which feature would be your top one to have on the next gen PlayStation portal?
I have always had latency issues with mine. It's so frustrating. I'm literally in the same room my ps5 is in and still experience problems. If I had known it was streaming from my console only, I likely would not have bought it. I would rather be dealing with a handheld device like the PSP with physical games. In the very least, link to my acct and download my games from there. So sick of all the digital crap these days. I hope they come out with software solutions so I don't have to buy version 2. I want to be able to travel with this but can't see how it would work.
@@purepsx I have. Several of which you've mentioned. Although I haven't used it in several months over complete frustration so missed out on the recent update which I hear wasn't good. lol
@purepsx not how I'd like it too. Public wifi is limited around here. Use mobile hotspot. Sadly the so called gaming network called EE use a Nat 3 on the hotspot, so to get to a nat 2 ps5 at home I have to allow certain vulnerability on my network. I've since removed the vulnerability and haven't used the portal for a month until on the phone with isp today.
No my ps5 is set completely to my normal game settings, only thing I did which I think has helped is connect my ps5 via Ethernet cable, how are you getting on with your portal?
Too bad for you, but for me it works great. I've played from 18 different hotels around Europe connected to my PS5 at home without any issues. So I don't know why yours would not work.
Probably too many devices on wifi taking your bandwidth or wifi connection is poor are you using 5ghz my ps5 is connected through ethenet..i dont lag lol
@@purepsx It’s a PS5 accessory at the end of the day and as far as I can recall, Sony hasn’t ever made a follow up product to an accessory. The gaming market is heavily shifting to a dedicated portable gaming console and a Portal doesn’t really compete in that category.
Sony makes junk.The VR 2 sucks.The PlayStation Portal sucks.The PlayStation earbuds suck.Their customer service is the worst in the entire world.Nintendo and Xbox are way better companies.
