PlayStation Portal In-Depth Unboxing, Setup, Latency, Gameplay, Bluetooth Headphones & More.
Рет қаралды 243,429
Күн бұрынThe brand new PSP is here (alright joke over) The PlayStation Portal is here, Sony's new PS5 remote play device. Sporting a fancy 8" LCD screen, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and an interesting but functional design. Today we're gonna unbox the new Portal and set it up, play a bunch of games, and do some initial testing. Is the latency bad? What are the pros and cons? Will I ever find true happiness? Will Melissa continue to mess up shots? Tune in to find out.

In terms of "not having access to the tv" it's more so that I'm playing games that I can't play in front of my wife because she doesn't want to be spoiled before she can play it herself. I use a long HDMI cord and a switcher that changes the input from the living room tv to the bedroom tv (it's not as cumbersome as you'd think as the rooms are directly adjacent) It works pretty well. We were originally using her PS4 for remote play in the bedroom, now we can just play the PS5 in there without even moving it.

It's not just a sim card slot that would be needed, it's an entire cellular radio system. This is not really designed for remote play while away from home. It's very unlikely that a mobile network would have less latency compared to a Wi-Fi connection using a landline internet service.

It would be really cool if there were an option to make this a second screen controller like the Wii U, for maps, inventory, other game mechanics, etc. Maybe someday in the future. Otherwise, this seems slightly redundant, but I could see it being a good option for someone who only wants to remote play PS5 games in a true handheld form factor since nothing else has adaptive triggers (that I'm aware of) besides a normal DualSense controller.

It might impact the "need" for a ps5, but it absolutely wouldn't impact the desire for PS5. PS+ Premium offers streaming. They could easily extend that to the Portal and they could easily restrict the usage to people who own a ps5. This isn't rocket science it's basic capitalism.

2 main things that turn me off about the Portal - No bluetooth connection (even with other Sony headphones) - No direct video output connection with the PS5 (why not have this as an option via USB C?) - Plus, seems like the latency issues are similar to the Remote play app, so there isnt much incentive to get this when you can just connect a controller wirelessly to any device.

But it is still a shameless and halfbaked cash grab tho. You can literally do MORE on bigger tablets with a basic PS5 controller if you wanted to. And why spend 200 on a literal tiny screen when you could spend that on anything else? I'm not a sony hater or something. But this shit is just pointless. If they had managed to somehow make the latency better then other options? Then maybe it would be something worth. But remote play in general will always be half baked overall due to the horrendously noticable latency most of the time. And locking reliable wirless sound behind a 200 dollar price tag to buy their bullshit earbuds is straight greed. Nothing more.

Thanks for such an in depth first impressions of the portal Ryan though the best part was Melissa rubbing her face all over it while you were doing close up shots of the buttons/ports 😂. I would say the best user for it would be someone who already does a lot of remote play (already knows the limits of their connection is and is used to the streaming idiosyncrasies) and is looking for a more comfortable experience since the dual sense is one of the best controllers around in the hand. I like the idea of it but I don't do much remote play and I can't see this device changing that. Maybe I'll pick one up on a deep discount near end of life or something.

Not really sure what you expect to be so different between the two. They both do the same thing in the same way. Except you have the benefit of using bluetooth headphones you all ready own. Instead of shelling another 2-3 hundred dollars to Sony.
@corey_massey 6 ай бұрын
The PS5 doesn't natively support Bluetooth but you think that not having it on a accessory is a dealbreaker? I think Sony avoided having the device release with streaming support because they didn't want to advertise it as a way to play PS games without a PS5. This device and the PSVR2 are about enhancing the PS ecosystem....not giving people an alternative to it.

Sony should allow the Portal to be recognised by the PS5 as a seperate/standalone Remote Play device that removes all media viewing restrictions and cloud gaming restrictions that are generally present for remote play when streaming your PS5 to a phone/tablet/PC etc. The Portal's 8 inch high quality display seems like a waste for not being able to watch Netflix or being able to do cloud gaming from Sony servers. Remote play feature normally restricting media viewing is understandable but for the Portal it definitely should be enabled by Sony.
@Shadowespeon17 6 ай бұрын
XBOX IIRC blocks non-gaming software with Remote play. This isn't solely decided by Sony. It makes no sense using a streaming service over Remote Play anyways because it's already not native to your device. Just use something with a better display, something better for more cinematic viewing.

I had some severe latency issues to the point where it was unplayable. The Portal would connect for about 5-10 seconds, then disconnect, reconnect, repeat. I've been tinkering with some of the configuration of my wireless AP and I'm seeing some improvements after increasing the power to the 5 GHz antenna and reducing power to the 2.4 GHz antenna. You also want to be cognizant of your WiFi channel width and the wireless congestion in your area. A wider channel (80 or 160 MHz) can provide faster speeds, but also increases the likelihood of interference (especially if you have lots of nearby neighbors with their own wireless systems). 40 MHz may be a sweet spot for the 5 GHz in regards to balancing speed while reducing interference.

Nintendo were in that position because the Wii U was so far behind the PS4/XBOX One that they would have had to seriously cheap out for the Switch to not have any advancements over it at all. You're not even getting a 10 TFLOPs handheld that is small and efficient enough for that Graphical power they're chasing let alone 20 TFLOPs. They've embraced Home consoles and that's their strong point. Although if they want to transition into a future where they're less dependent on selling consoles, they should invest into making a real PlayStation Ecosystem on PC, be it via windows with their own client for native games or maybe even a PlayStation OS that can compete in gaming with Windows or utilise a Linux Distro.

I have the portal. It's just okay. I am planning on sending it back. It lives & dies off internet connectivity. And even with that, it still leaves a lot to be desired. Although I love the build, and overall, I wanted to like it. But with its limitations (no cloud gaming currently, no bluetooth, disconnection issues on a great wifi connection), I can see many returning and passing on it as well. All of this I knew going in but had to try it for myself to see if I'd like it. The cons outweigh the pros. Maybe on the next iteration. But this one just isn't it.

Thanks for the video Ryan but I can't find an answer to my question anywhere. On PSVita era we were able to check an option on PS4 to remote play directly on handheld console, therefore all you needed was a local internet connection to connect both consoles to the wifi and there was no need for a high speed connection since it was being streamed directly instead of being streamed from Sony servers. Is this option available on PlayStation Portal?

I got it. The screen is nice for being an lcd. You can really tell it’s not oled in dark rooms , but for the most part it looks really good and it’s 1080p. I wish the joysticks were bigger, but I just took joystick covers from my switch and those fit. The battery lasts a long time since it’s not running the game on the device itself just streaming it. I think it was worth it. It is nice to play anywhere in the house. I haven’t tried it outside of my house. But when playing it at home it works very well and I haven’t had any issues with lag or communication issues. Just wish they would have put an oled in even if it raised the price.
