1st, you can stream from everywhere, as long as you have WiFi. Not just home. Idk how people are literally unable to read, just like that. I mean how would that even work. It’s made for remote play so it does remote play, simple as that.
2nd, if you have an iPad you want to do this with, fine I guess. Although it wouldn’t be comfortable for me, on the couch or bed, having an iPad I’d have to place somewhere. Phone? Sure, it’s an option, but it’s awfully slow. Personally I only use it when I’m somewhere and have to recheck the settings, download a dlc, or whatever. Other than that, the screen is just way too small. This device will give you more than 60% more screen! And that’s if you have an iPhone 14 pro max. If you have anything smaller, it will probably be somewhere around double the screen.
Lastly, I don’t need any of the other things. Because for that I have my phone, and my phone is free while using it. So I can use my phone as a browser, message friends, or get calls while playing. Just like on my ps5. I’m perfectly fine with that. If I’d use it for streaming the game, I couldn’t really do that comfortably in the first place, second the phone gets really warm using remote play like this, and this in the end will wear down your battery a lot. So I’m happy to have a separate device for it. Also, the so often praised switch doesn’t have a browser either. Not saying it’s fine, but it sucks just as much. The problem is actually more of the ps5 not having a dedicated browser you could also use in game. Would it be comfortable to use? Probably not. But it’s there in the system anyways, just give us an actual app shortcut to it and it’s fine.
In the end it simply comes down to whether you want to afford it. For me it will be a godsend, easily being able to work on my backlog while hanging with my gf. I could play things on the switch but that thing is awfully uncomfortable and the performance is awful. The exclusives are cool but apart from the few that interest one, there’s nothing good to play on, because everything just runs better elsewhere.
A steamdeck is a nice piece of hardware but expensive as hell and the battery life is meh. This says to strive for the same as the Dualsense which in my experience is like 5-7h which for a handheld these days would be very nice. Especially at 1080p60.
I wasn’t really interested in a Sony Handheld, because of fragmentation, specced down games, etc. I just wasn’t fond of playing worse versions of the same games and if it would’ve been like that I would’ve probably never used it, because I could just get to my console. Also for the market it would’ve been utterly useless.
You got the switch that got awesome exclusives. You got the steam deck which is powerful to play games at a good quality and also got emulation on its side, which is a nice upgrade over the switch. And with Sony you would have… Sony exclusive, but hope that the devs patch their games into a worse quality version, just for the handheld to cost as much as a ps5? Who would buy into that? Now you can just take your ps5 in all its glory on the go, which is amazing. And it comes at a super cheap price of 200€.
Again, you can use other devices but a dedicated handheld is more comfortable to me
I mean as much as I’d like to be saving money as well, and the other comment saying every game company charging this nowadays, simply because everyone else does… I agree
But also, the game has gotten incredible reviews. There was quite a lot about this game setting the bar for gaming and game developers. In that regard, honestly, I’m fine paying that price.
What I’m not fond of is yearly releases, charging that price for a game that is like a dlc to last years game and got so much MTX it could very well be f2p. Cough cod and FIFA
Well, fortunately I didn’t pay attention to the game at all before. The cyberpunk style just wasn’t my thing so I didn’t bother looking into it.
It was only like a few weeks before launch where I was looking for ps5 games for my brand new consoles and saw it. Checked out some trailers and was hyped to buy… only then to find out it’s ps4 only. I looked into it and read that the ps5 version would take up to another year. That killed my interest again, because it was kind of a bad sign imo and again, I was looking for ps5 games. Wanted more games with the awesome haptic feedback, triggers and load times. Just didn’t want to go back to a ps4 game.
The abysmal launch came and I feel like I really dodged a bullet. A friend told me how it’s not even the bugs but more like the core stuff don’t working, such as the path finding on the map etc is just off and gives you directions that take way longer and shit.
Don’t think I’ll ever buy it tho, as what I played was only ‘meh’ as well and there’s way too many games, only on my backlog already. Maybe when it’s free on ps plus or so I’ll give it a go
I’ve tried it when there was a timed trial like 1 or 2 years ago already?
It looked very fun to me, apart from the bugs, but like the trailers. The world seemed to be interesting, the gunplay seemed to be really cool, etc.
When I got to play it felt like GTA but with like zombie NPCs. Whatever it was, they felt really uncanny and not real.
However, I kept playing since I wanted to shoot some guns really bad. When I finally got to it in this training area, it felt not satisfying at all? The aiming curve seemed completely weird and there was also what felt like a big delay when aiming. Really made me put the game down
It’s awesome really. At this price, I can see myself buying this. I don’t play on the go anyways, either at home or at my parents.
The PlayStation fambase is kinda ridiculous because on the one hand they’re bothered by games being developed for the PS4 still, arguably downgrading them; while then wishing for an even worse handheld console and expecting devs would support it.
It would’ve caused awful fragmentation in the current ecosystem. Having your ps5 on the go is really the best they could’ve done.
Also, people complaining about latency but also complaining Bluetooth isn’t supported. Make up your mind. I’m happy for this new PlayStation link thing. For the people that don’t understand, it’s basically the 2.4ghz adapter that comes with every headset, being built into the hardware, as Xbox has had it for years. Not requiring you to need that dongle anymore. Having that also on the handheld is perfect for good quality, low latency audio.
The only thing I really don’t get is why you can’t connect to the ps premium streaming directly from the handheld. Wishful thinking it just wasn’t ready in time and will get added later, because connecting to a server would be cheaper, and faster if you’re far from home, than your actual console. Obviously it would also give the great benefit of having games at hand without installing, updating, etc.
So they’re basically making warzone zombies? I thought cold war was a low point but it seems it was just a turning point for a train that’s heading straight down the abyss.
As sad as it is to admit, the zombies mode I love is gone and won’t ever come back.
How? I’ve been a heavy telegram user for more than 8 years now. Not a single time I have unwillingly been added to a group I had no interest in or been messaged with any scam message.
I know of privacy settings that limit these, but I have none of them turned on, because I have some people that might add me to important groups.
I mean I’d like to follow that advice, but my coffee consumption is quite low actually. I usually drink half a cup of coffee a day. Some days 2 half. And this only in the morning.
The problem is that if I don’t, I tend to get quite the bad migraine around noon. So I prefer to simply have it. Also it does boost my mood and productivity in the morning a lot. I don’t really feel like I need to stop it, but I appreciate your advice, I do know some people who drink an awful lot of coffee which even I find kinda disturbing.
