Yeah, this thing makes no sense whatsoever... I want the next evolution of the Vita. Not some BS you have to stream over WiFi. I'm not like a lot of complainers on the showcase. I thought it was pretty dang good overall. But this "handheld" just felt like some side thought by Sony.
If that happens the games will be spread thin with ps5/vr2/vita2. This isnt need cause of the steam deck and phone+backbone but vita 2 is also not needed. Also article is lame
Some people don't want to play games using their phones i find that idea highly objectionable. A dedicated device I could use to play ps5 games remotely around the house may work for some. You guys over think things.
Exactly, I tried valiants heart off Netflix games on my phone and a game called Motorcross 3 the other day and after 5 mins my phone felt like it was gonna melt it was that hot plus the battery lost about 15% in 5/10 mins. I was like fu*k that
bingo. i literally only bought a switch so i could game while the tv is in use or in various locales in my house. this thing fixes it, AND i dont have to play horrible switch games.
The problem with those old devices is they have old Wifi chips and lag a lot. A much better WiFi chip which I would assume this has the best available as a dedicated WiFi device and that will be a huge difference
That’s a good point and probably a primary reason for a new device. Still it’s hard to see the necessity to purchase another device. During the ps4 they started advertising the vita as a remote play device, now moving to tablets, phones, laptops. I don’t see how this new device ‘fits’ into what’s already available, but who knows 🤷♂️
I cant even begin to imagine the kind of latency you would get if it were fully remote.
Cloud gaming is already latency bound when connecting to multi million dollar data centers with dedicated hardware, software and networking. Imagine how that would play out when you are connecting instead to your PS5 that is on your home wifi and through all the ISP hops in between (not just for download, but upload too).
It is absolutely not doable as a device that works outside the same network (even in the same network, remote play isnt that good right now)
Remote play works much better than it did a few years ago. I have 500mps internet, and have 0 issues most of the time. Multi gig speeds are becoming common place now. Honestly remote play shouldn't have any noticeable lag at all with speed like that.
one could say the technology already exists with the PS Vita I'm only mentioning it because just_looken brought it up, but companies should be responsible for the amount of ewaste they generate, we're missing more Info on this product but if its just simply an extension of what the PS vita did with remote play it's ridiculous.
"Project Q uses PlayStation’s Remote Play system to connect to your PS5,"
Exactly psp ps vita always lead the way with new tech be it those umd movies/games or the oled screen that after 6yrs nintendio is using.
But here they are showing off something my psp/psp 2000/ps vita and my phone for over 7yrs can do.
I can also grab a amazon phone/controller holder and get this experience right now.

I literally called it. Makes sense as long as you can use it on any WiFi.
