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. 😊

@rodrigohyppolito5989 5 месяцев назад

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)

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!

(i am asking 'cause sometimes the Home router is so far in the house that u can move it and the signal is too week through all the walls, so if i could just use local router that i can move around in our livingroom without the need for the internet, it would help).

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.

@merwitgames9874 5 месяцев назад

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.

@blagd 6 месяцев назад

Almost answered all my questions. I just want to know how the actual streaming performance compares to Remote Play on other devices (iOS, Android, PC/Mac). Since its a bespoke system does it have any inherent advantages from a software POV? Aside from that, great review.

@corey_massey 6 месяцев назад

You can test regular remote play now on any device. It works decent but its not streamlined. It has acceptable quality of remote play but from all the reviews i have seen so far is that it is quicker than using a third party device

@LegionzGG 6 месяцев назад

There is no changes on The backend. You get The same results on The remote app as this device more or less. There is nothing that is integrated on The portal that boost lag vs other devices.

@corey_massey 6 месяцев назад

@@LegionzGG This is not true. If you have used remote play on a third party device then you know that because you are connecting to the app which connects to your PS5 that maintaining a stable connection on both the app and the PS5 creates latency or dropped connection. Because the portal has the remote play app built into the OS directly, the Portal maintains a stable connection longer with less points of failure between the user and the PS5 because you don't have to access the app the Portal OS is the remote play app. Every review I have seen from trusted third party reviewers says that the connection is faster and more stable which is not what anyone who has used remote play on any consistent basis would describe using a thirs party device. Usually you get minor disconnects from either the app or the PS5 over longer gameplay sessions but no one has reported that kind of same issue using the portal. It is not intended to revolutionize the remote play feature PS created in 2012, it is intended to make it better. And by all accounts thus far it seems to be doing that.

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.

@ciscorey6520 6 месяцев назад

@@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.

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.

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.

@theunknown7441 6 месяцев назад
