the stupid looking Sony streaming handheld is called the Playstation Portal and costs $200

The idea of the official blog of a company doing a 'hands-on report' for a new product of theirs is so dumb.

"Wow this thing is so great! There aren't any flaws at all! No need to compare this to other ways of doing the same thing that cost literally nothing as long as you have a phone!"

portable gaming is for addicts and i dont touch the stuff but seems like a controller and big screen where your hands aren't covering the screen to control it would be an obvious benefit for handhelders

It's only a step on from the official magazine by the console maker reviewing the company published titles.

If you own a PS5 (which you do if you're thinking of buying this) then you can bluetooth your controller to your phone though. Maybe a clip to attach the two, which will run far less than $200.

Edit: I suppose a bigger screen is a boon if you don't own a tablet, but man, seems so incredibly needless.

oh lol that's actually pretty cool. i have a playstation controller but i have to keep it wired on my pc to even maybe do the special features for a few games kinda. Does seem more needless than usual but portable people seem to be a big enough group to be worth chasing and they love a new wiiu

i think they mean it doesn't have any local storage, and it doesn't run games locally on the device itself

it's a wii u gamepad basically

I re-checked, no local play in the article means internet access required, either your own network or otherwise

Yeah? ONly the console ports need updates, cause you can't go into their files and fix them up



Relatedly, I've been playing Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death and had to install TWO mods just to get the drat thing to work properly. One to make it run in widescreen and one to make the jump button work. Fun game though

So with the Switch being tagged Denuvo is now on every console yeah?

More important than ever to watch the Digital Foundry video about the game you're thinking of buying I guess lol



Finally got past the Gigante fight in RE4R after crashing out during it like 5 times- turns out I forgot to turn the Rain Effects from High to Low. After I did that I was able to make it and with that I think everything is at like absolute minimum settings. If I get stuck somewhere else there's no other settings to turn down so crossing my fingers here

Love the little trumpet stings in the fight music but missing the silly intro from the OG game.

Had a ton of fun in Case 5 Day 2 last night in Phoenix Wright.

So much slippery business occuring and accidentally proving that the video of the murder of Bruce Goodman was not one and as such making my client, Lana Skye, still look pretty guilty

I got a ton of theories but no idea how (phoenix) right I am!! Wonderful, absorbing, fun game :D

The unveiling of the security video coupled with everyone's reactions (especially Edgeworth's immortal "What the hell was that wriggling piece of plywood?") is probably one of the top 3 funniest moments in the entire series.

Is it lack of support for Bluetooth audio that people are talking about, because Bluetooth audio has way too much latency to be very good for gaming. Even the PS5 and XSX don't support it for that reason, so it's not that surprising that this thing doesn't either.

Sony's recent aesthetic sense for their physical products is horrifyingly ugly; some sort of Mass Effectesque brain worm worked it's way into the designers mind and rewrote their reality to thinking white planes twisted over black plastic looked high class. They should bring in their Xperia designers, Sony's phones have always looked good even if they don't function as well as they should for the price.
