God of war 2018 spider man I find Sony games run the smoothest
Going to play cod when I get my new Internet it just needs a update to make its Internet capability better
Finally was able to buy one on PlayStation site on Friday. I will have it Tuesday, can’t wait!
@@lisaroberts5485 awesome! I’ve been playing Death Stranding on mine a lot recently, looks great on the portal!
@@ebenezerc42 amazing! What games are you going to play on it!?
I got my hands on one today. I just only had enough time to go through the update and set up but I’m looking forward to actually using it. I’m a father of a two-year-old and most of my free time is hanging out with him and watching his shows. So it would be nice to actually start using my PS5 again.
Absoltely, It should be fantastic for that! Let me know how you get on with your Portal!? And check out some of my other videos for some cool hints and tips which may help out!
@@purepsxIt’s been more a hit than a miss. I don’t think I have the strongest Internet connection but when it works, it works well. I was playing grandblue Ocean relink for 2 hours, and I completely forgot I was streaming the game. It’s very nice and premium looking device but I do have issues with it.
That won't last. I cannot game on anything without my boy quickly wanting to play it himself. He is 5 years old and it has been like this for a few years.
@@latinokid33 I got a solution just buy a secondary PS5 and another portal lol problem solved 😂
@@techhead78 I have 360, ps3, switch, series x and ps5. My game time gets constantly interrupted no matter what because if he is on the switch then he wants me to help him. Great thing is that he does enjoy 2 player games and we have been playing Mario Wonder quite a bit.
I love this damn thing. I have it a little over a month and finished ghosts of tsushima on it. Played a lot of overwatch. Now cyberpunk and helldiver's. Its perfect for fathers like myself.
Amazing! How is playing hell divers 2 on it? I am thinking about picking it up when I have some money!
@@purepsx helldiver's is freaking awesome on the portal .There is no lag or anything like that that I can tell. Performance has been flawless. I haven't even turned on my TV that my PS5 is connected to since I got the portal.
@@DoritosResidue awesome I will need to check it out
Nice
@@DoritosResidue Helldivers is awesome on the Portal, no issues at all. Bought my portal on Thursday and love it. Wired connection is must in my opinion, been doing it since ps3 era. I think i found my way to finish Ghost of Tsushima. Thanks
Not being cliché bit genuinely this is the most informative and in depth video of long term use of the ps portal.
You really went into proper specifics and scenarios and it answered so many questions for me that almost all the other videos didn't. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
People complaining, But they are sold out everywhere, extremely hard to get hand on one for $199.
True! Did you manage to get your hands on a portal?
Been trying to get one wondering if this the new norm for Sony devices
@@hotheadspuggy maybe Sony were testing the waters with this device and surprised by how popular it has been! Keep trying and I am sure you will get one soon! What games are you looking forward to playing on your portal?
@@purepsx yes I’m expecting it 2/3/24🙂
@@hotheadspuggyYes it is the new normal for all new devices not just Sonys, the scalpers buy them all up and sell them for double or triple the price, they did the same for the PS5 and sony doesn’t care because somebody bought them, they don’t care who.
As a Dad who has gone for a Digital only PS5 this thing has changed the game. In fact I might actually start finishing games now!
Yea thats awesome! its an amazing bit of kit, I played Hell Divers 2 on it last night for hours and it was perfect! What games have you been enjoying on your portal?
I think people dont know that if you conect your BT headphones to your ps5 after your portal is connected it works perfectly.
I don’t think my Bluetooth headphones will still get a signal when I’m away at work
I love my PS Portal...have had one since day 1. Have taken it on vacation, to family member house and haven't had issue. I did some port forwarding and my wired connection is super strong. My only issue is screen glare in the sun.....it feels like a playing facing a mirror. After the patch for the Explore Earbuds...the combo of Portal and Explore earbuds is the closest you can get to playing on a actual PS5....which is the intent i guess. I've actually even done some Helldivers 2 co-op with it in my home and surprisingly enough it wasn't unplayable. All around great supplement to a PS5.
Awww that’s so good to hear it! Yeah the screen glare is really noticeable outside ! What games have you been enjoying in your portal!? Aww helldivers 3 co-op sounds great on the portal!
@@purepsx
Best PS Portal games right now.... Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Also Baldur's Gate 3. I have been playing Final Fantasy 7 remake in the lead up to Rebirth (its a second playthrough). I played Granblue Fantasy Relink on my Portal to grind some but no co-op. I also played Remnant from the Ashes 2 both co-op and solo. If you play alot in your home co-op can work on the Portal because it is not so much as reaction to other players as it is single player content with a friend.
How do you get it to work OUTSIDE of your house?
@@julianf147
My cellphone (S23) works as a mobile hotspot....I connect to my phone and then connect my phone to a wifi source. If you have your PS5 connected with wired internet connection then you get pretty much the same performance as in your home over 5g. I've used my mobile hotspot over mobile data before but you have to have really good cell service to make it work.
Just received mine couple days ago , was hard to get anywhere , I like it so far my only concern is if the buttons go wrong what do you do ? Replace the whole thing ? My regular controllers lasted me only couple months so I’m little concern bout it since I play a lot of mortal kombat .
I got mine on launch and it collected dust. Took it across the country this week and it worked fantastic. Definitely worth it
Great to hear! What games have you been playing on it?
@@purepsx SpiderMan 2 mostly, but I played a few others I had downloaded. It was so nice to have
Had mine since launch. Love everything about it
Aww glad to hear it! What games have you been enjoying on the portal!?
@@purepsx Baulders gate 3. Uncharted series and Resident evil 4. Plus a bit of a Ea24 so far
awesome!
The stick drift potential issue is definitely a concern. I had it happen not so long ago on dual sense which Sony replaced, so I'd be always worried.
It looks like it's somewhat easy to replace with just unscrewing things without any soldering. I just bought one and looked into whether I should get a repair/replacement plan. I decided it should be fine without one, and self-repair will be viable if needed.
Massive problem with these that should be discussed. Can't connect to hotel Wi-Fi or any Wi-Fi that requires a webpage to pop up to sign in. Also doesn't seem to like using hotspot very well at all.
Got one yesterday, last one in all the gamestops in my city. Amazing all i can say
amazing! What games have you been playing on your portal?
@purepsx it's been running very well, but Hell divers 2! Also helps that I got 1GB speed. So it's been a really good experience so far!
Great to hear!
I love my tv but there’s times I just want to hop on a game for a few minutes and not boot up my tv so the Portal been nice for that. Plus if you go to setting and turn off the setting that boots your tv when the console turns on then you can play the portal without your tv on which is nice no need to unplug the hdmi
I got mine a few days ago now and i absolutely love it. I live in a rural area and its given me no issues whatsoever. Been playing ff7 rebirth in my backyard and not a single issue, decided to take it further back in my yard on destiny 2 strikes and not a single frame drop ive noticed. As a parent that cant be in my game room due to parenting its been amazing for me.
fantastic! It is just such an ideal device for this, especially how comfortable it is to use! I was playing some Hell Divers 2 on it for hours the other night and it didnt miss a beat, was great! What games are next on your list to play on your portal?
I got mines Monday and I've been back on my PS5 like it's day one. Between this and my Steam Deck I'm in heaven. And I was so about to give up on my PS5 cause I wanted to play my games portable cause of the steam deck and now I can !!! Boy this device is amazing!!
Al principio vi videos tirándole hate, y les hice caso, después vi un video tuyo hablando muy bien de él, eras muy sincero y decidí creerte, llevo 2 meses con él PSPortal y es una maravilla, me la llevo fuera de casa y sin problemas, me di cuenta que solo le tiraban hate por hacer likes y no por en si revisar el producto. El PSportal para mí es lo mejor.
Do I need to disable HDR before connecting it to my ps5? I normally play on oled tv.
Wouldn't it look terrible if it took hdr picture and converted it to sdr on the device? tonemapped
When you use it away from home on a different wifi or mobile hotspot, does it lose a bit of resolution and have a bit more input delay? I tried to test remote play at home on my phone with both same wifi vs mobile internet, and that's what I was seeing. But also my ps5 is not connected with Ethernet so I'd have to test how much that impacts the away from home/different network.
Similar position here, from recent personal experience that the wired ethernet is a lot more stable than wifi and helps with both latency as well as overall framerate. If you also have an android cell phone then it's easier and cheaper to get a decent 5G data package and tether the Portal to your portable wifi hotspot so you can basically take it anywhere and not have to worry about those website access web browser check boxes again to connect the Portal online ;)
Honestly that’s my 3rd month with this and i am gonna be honest, i LOVE IT.
I use the Ps5 during the day but i pick the Portal many many times cause i simply love to lay on my bed or in the bathroom and play some Cyberpunk or Skyrim.
You may be thinking, how can you even play such an High Graphic and Colorful game like Cyberpunk on a Portal? That’s simple, the connection and stability has been so much improved at the point that i cannot even see the difference from my monitor which still, it is a High flagship one from LG.
i’ve never seen such a GOOD vibrant and colorful screen on a mobile device and i THINK that it is an HDR IPS panel which looks amazing.
Amazing yeah I have been loving mine too! Have you picked up any accessories for your portal yet?
@@purepsx actually i did, i bought a white semi trasparent cover just for the 2 section where the controls are cause i love to see the screen section completely naked, plus a screen protector which i think might be really helpful.
I’m playing right now Cyberpunk 2077 :)
Its been working very well. Sometimes, i do get disconnected from PS5 for whatever reason but a quick reconnect fixes that problem.
Otherwise, in our busy household with two kids its been a savior for myseelf.
I can actually catch up on my library. Very convenient and with proper, steady internet it a great purchase.
I swear if sony would have marketed this as a remote play controller, and less of a streaming console, it'd be more well received in terms of narrative. I also think they should release an update for it to be able to be used as just a standalone controller for the ps5, including wired in. That'd really bring the
value of this machine to the max!
true! Did you pick a portal up or considering one for the future?
I do use it as a second controller. Fire up remote play and then my son joins us with the controller. There is the annoying Remote Play message on screen but I can live with it.
It is perfect to me for all the reasons you had listed. Kids, busy house, wife watching TV. Sony made a bet that people would not play this any place without wifi and that is me. I couldn't be happier. It is beautiful to play on
Amazing glad to hear it! What games have you been enjoying in your portal!?
Honest question. I don’t see why you wouldn’t just buy a monitor? Can’t help but feel this is a gimmick. Being able to play in the bath is cool though. Not being able to watch media is what totally kills it off for me. Ludicrous
Bro I just ordered ours yesterday!!!! Feb 15 was the official restock day!❤
@@purepsx I’ve been going back and forth between MK1 and a replay of Red Dead 2. It’s awesome playing those games in any room on a handheld. The device itself feels like the best handheld I’ve ever played with.
@@pigteets11x61 playing in the bath, in bed, on the couch next to my wife. I would never have a separate monitor in any of those places.
The portal is truly for family people. I love my portal. I knew it would have bugs when it first came out. Anyone that got rid of it off bat is missing out
Awesome! I am glad you stuck with it and are enjoying it! Whats your go to games to play on your portal just now?
@purepsx final fantasy 16, Gta, Fortnite, hell even wwe. Runs smoothly no problem
I am very happy with my ps portal but the color banding with some games is a bit annoying. Do you think they will improve it with any updates?
fingers crossed, as I feel it has improved with each update from Sony! What games have you been playing on your Portal?
@@purepsx It's a little weird because for me the color banding doesn't happen with the remote app. I've been playing Blasphemous 2, Líes of P, DMC5 S.E during this last months and now Forspoken.
Ive been playing Last Of Us 2 remastered. And it looks better then my TV with HDR
This is by far one of the best reviews I’ve seen mate. Good job
Thanks so much fam! Appreciate the support! Did you pick up a portal for yourself!? 🎮
@@purepsx can’t get it🥲 it’s out of stock everywhere but I want it bad😂
Just got one on order. I played remote play with the steam deck and it worked great but I’m missing the dual sense features and I had some Amazon credit so it worked out. I like that it’s lighter weight and will pair up with the pulse elite headset I already have.
amazing! I thnik you will enjoy it! Let us all know what you think once you get your hands on it!
Did you get selected for the new ps5 firmware update? Idk if they did anything for the portal but now I'm not seeing the input lag I had before since I installed the beta firmware update. I was playing away from home when I took my elderly mom to see the doctor and I couldn't believe how good God of war and WRC 10 was playing smooth. I gotta be honest I was ready to sell my portal I hadn't even picked it up in about a month. I have great internet access and was not having issues the first 3 weeks I owned the portal. But now I'm back on using the portal 100% of the time. I don't even have the ps5 hdmi connected to my TV or monitor. It's acting as a server now
awww that is amazing! I feel the portal has got better with every update! long may this continue! What games have you been playing on your portal?
@purepsx I have noticed a big difference. Since it runs smoother I play god of war ragnarok on it now but I mainly been playing spider-man 2, ghost recon wildlands and breakpoint, also replaying uncharted 1 after 15 years. I also play a few rally racing games when I get a chance. To all the friends and family that told me this device was stupid I've shut up a few when I let them use it. Then all of a sudden they go to websites to find it and they see it's sold out. I just find it funny that they fell to people's opinions that have CZcams channels and misinformed people. I almost fell for buying a rog ally over a steam deck by youtubers but I don't let influencers influence my own opinions. You don't strike me as an influencer. You're what I think of as an informer. You tried it out and you've informed us on your trials. That's the content others have to show not what they think of sony and Xbox. I like to see facts and trials then I wanna hear the pros and cons. I only choose sony because I went from sega to sony. I played xbox with friends and other family members but ultimately I've always had large hands and the playstation layout just feels better in my hands. It's also why I went with a steam deck over an ally or any of the other handhelds. When I plays xbox with my brother my grip gets tired then I can't jam out on my guitar later. Getting older going to be 38 in a week and yeah arthritis is catching up from years of hard labor, guitar, playing and weightlifting. The last thing I need is discomfort when gaming to unwind. The portal looked silly at first but its so ergonomically better than any other handheld I've had. I give it a 9/10 BTW if you want to just relax with a good narrative game twin mirror and Detroit become human they're not my main style of games I play but great to just unwind. I also got my fiance a ps5 a year ago and a portal about a month ago and it was fun us waiting at a restaurant for an opening. Wait time was going to be 45 minutes. I ran back to the car and got the 2 portals out and played a few levels of sackboy together. No issues 2 ps5 running off the same routers running remote play. We were lucky the restaurant had open wifi
Not only did I preorder mine, I exclusively use it during downtime at work and on weekends when I’m hanging out around the house.
Pro tip: if you unplug the hdmi from the ps5, you get more power going straight to the portal since it’s not splitting imagery w/ your tv
Whoa this is the first time I’ve heard about this remedy. My PS portal is cool but the input lag kills me. So the lag is completely gone when you disconnect the HDMI ?
@@anthonycruz5661 my ps5 is also hardwired so that helps tremendously. I did see a boost in consistency w/ frame rate and input when I unplugged it. I plat’d lies of p and play hell divers with minor to no issues at all.
My one complaint is I can’t get the PS5 to start up from rest mode with portal. Yes I have all the necessary settings on and yes I’ve tried turning them all off and on. It’s not working. I always have to use a regular controller to turn the system on first before I try to turn the portal on
thats very weird, have you tried resetting your portal?
Same 😂 it's annoying
@@remyboymontana1738 I did fix this recently. I just did a hard reset on the portal and then reconnected it to my console. Now it does what it’s supposed to. ✌️ try that.
@@Urlastnerve how do I hard reset it lol
@@remyboymontana1738 just go to the settings and I think it’s under “System”. There should be an option to reset the portal. Click yes and it should turn off and reboot. You will then have to set it back up like the first time you turned it on. But that should fix it
Does having a lock on your PS5 cause issues with the portal? My PS5 is locked with a PIN and it seems like the Portal does not wake it up after I go into rest mode
yeah I think it does, let me look into it! or let me know if you figured it out
Must Have It !!! I’ve had mine since the release and I’m In Love ❤❤
amazing! What games have you been playing on your portal?
Great video. I have a portal on the way and you answered all the questions I had about the device. I feel reassured and confident about my purchase. I bought it with the intent to use the device for exactly all the same reasons you mentioned. Cheers.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful! What games are you going to play on your Portal?
@@purepsx God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake, Assasin’s Creed Valhalla to name a few.
I pre ordered mine and i use it every single day . I mainly play remnant 2 and final fantasy online on it . At home its nice. My Internet is 🔥so i don't notice any kind of lag .
2 kids and a wife. The thing feels like gold when the tv is occupied . I also use it on my breaks at work . Best 200 ive spent in a long time . Only gripe is battery life when screen brightness is maxed .
amazing, sounds like its ideal for you! What games coming out in the future are you looking forward to playing on your portal?
@@purepsx I'm honestly not sure . Anything that isn't a competitive shooter runs like a dream on it . I play almost every game in my library even ow2 I can throw down on if I'm on my home network
Your accent is awesome. Was listening without watching and thought it was Sheamus from WWE doing the review.
haha thanks! Did you get your hands on a portal?
@@purepsxI play PC games mostly and hardly turned on my ps5. Ever since I got the portal I find myself playing more PS5 over steam games. This gadget is awesome!
I bloody love my playstation portal! Works well for me, it has never dropped out once for me.
amazing! What games have you been playing on your portal?
@purepsx final fantasy 7 remake, works so nice on the portal
When I first got it I had internet connection issues. I went and upgraded my router and bought an extender that works in mesh mode with my router and that really improved my experience no more connection issues plus I have the slowest internet on earth 25mb down 5mb up so I learned it’s not about speed it’s about overall coverage.
Love your Portal videos, man! Question for you…. I just bought a beast mode router (Netgear Nighthawk CAX80, which is a WiFi 6 cable modem / router with 6gps speed)…. At my house, I have two different WiFi networks (a 5G and a 2G)…. Does it matter which WiFi network that I connect my Portal to? I’ve been running it on the 2G network, because nobody at the house uses the 2G for anything, since all of our devices are connected to the 5G. But, I’ve been thinking of switching all of our devices over to the 2G, and leaving the 5G open solely for the PS5 and Portal to connect to. Thoughts?
hey thanks for the kind words! is it running fine? if it is just leave it as is, otherwise you can switch them like you said The PlayStation Portal can hop onto 2Ghz and 5Ghz bands. However, it's recommended to run it on the faster 5Ghz band if your having problems as this can help
ps also having less devices connecting to whatever band you decide to use as it will help have less network congestion , let us know how you get on as it may help someone else in the community! good luck
@@purepsx So far, so good. I setup the new WiFi 6 router last night, and it played super smooth all afternoon with no lag or disconnections on the 5G network (with all of our other devices connected to the 5G band, too). It’s like you said in the video - the most important thing you can do is make sure you have a top-notch router in your home. If you have anything less than a Wifi 6, the Portal isn’t going to run correctly.
@@adam3797 awesome, glad to hear you are enjoying your portal! 👍
So if you have say netflix on your ps5 you cant watch it on the portal? Wouldn't it work just like streaming a game?
yea thats right, sony have disabled it, it doesnt let you stream any media apps to the portal, hopefully they change this in a future update
Wow really that is strange- I can boot my PS5 with Chiaki on Steam Deck and play any apps I want-
That’s wild. Even the PS Vita was able to stream Netflix.
I love my portal! With the family hogging up the TV, i can play whenever i want now. Woot woot!
amazing! its sooo good for playing games when the TV is busy! What games have you been playing on your portal?
@@purepsx Helldivers2, Ollie, and will start playing the new GOW DLc
I got mines on December 23rd I've had no issues with it I did drop the resolution to 1080p and I have mines directly connected to the ethernet cable with HDR turned off and it runs smooth I've even took mines to other friends houses on their Wi-Fi And I've had no issues..
I even play on my lunch break sometimes through my phone's hotspot in a warehouse that's located on the lobby floor of a hospital where I only get three bars..
I don't play any first person shooters or are you online competitive games because it's not really made for that It's that should be pretty much given because it's a remote player.
That's just my opinion based on the experience that I have had I have a friend at work in the warehouse with me who sold his and said he it was almost unplayable because of the stutter.
I thought maybe I can't see this letter if there is and set him a video of me playing and he couldn't believe how smooth mine was and we both have the same internet provider And he's done all the hacks to make it supposedly run smoother..
Amazing, what games have you been playing on your portal?
I was playing it the other day. I learned that if you have your wifi on your phone turned on and use it next to the ps portal, it will cause interference and lag your game. Having your phone on mobile connection is fine.
Thanks
Love my ps portal works great. I only use it with Wi-Fi at home or friends family house that have Wi-Fi . The phone hotspot is crap if the phone does not have strong signal.
yeah id absolutely needs a good conection to your phone when playing outside, glad its working great at home! What games have you been playing on your portal?
What is that case for the portal?
I bought a Portal and sold it after 3 hours of total use. The dualsense controller is unbeatable but there was a slight noticeable delay, with rare lag spikes here and there. I sold it and bought a ROG Ally. The experience has been much better for me, no lag due to the play being processed on the device itself.
I heard of you connect your ps5 va LAN cable it fixes the lag problem
Cool! I’m glad you got a device that works best for you! The ROG Ally looks great! What games have you been playing on it? I am tempted by a steam deck too!
@@newagehero9605 yeah but it doesnt have a web browser to accept the terms and conditions so you cant use it outside of your house, so its basically the wii u and we all know how that went
Shouldve got a steam deck
@@Jonathangarcia-oo9qw oh yeah this device is best used in your home it’s basically a Wii U 😂
I love this thing the first time I had it until I moved to a bigger house...now playing at work on my down time suck. internet router to far for me to wire lane it. Might as well have a Separate internet and have a gamer side of the house
Ah that sucks! check out some of my other videos for some hints and tips which may hopefully help you! Not gonna lie a seperate internet gamer side of the house does sound awesome! haha
can you please tell me what terminator game you are playing on this video?
I think you maybe mean the Matrix Awakens?
Can it connect without internet connection ? Like how the psp and ps3 did remote play
No
No, it’s purely a streaming device for playing games on your PS5. You can’t do much else. You can’t watch movies on Netflix, Hulu, Max. You can’t watch the game on ESPN either. This thing is only allowed to play games. I’m actually really disappointed with it so far. Where ever you go they better have a really good wifi. If you live in rural areas where internet isn’t the best, do not buy this.
They need to make it to sign into public wi fi or at least tell it’s buyers that you can’t accept network terms of service
I got one a few days ago. Ive played at work at inlaws house and no issues.
amazing! What games have you been playing on your portal?
@@purepsx I play Madden and cod a little delay but I make it work. Now if they make a cloud based one game over tbh
damn, wish I got that matrix game when it was available. why did they take it away?
I know right its prety cool! I think it was just released for a short time to show the potential of Unreal Engine 5 on next gen hardware, hoping GTA 6 looks like this lol Did you pick up a PlayStation Portal?
I play on my ps5 from my tablet and works really well i advise it to people that prefer to save 200 dollars/ euro
Awesome! What PS5 games do you enjoy playing on your tablet?
@@purepsx in my surprise Hogwards Legacy performed really well, i use it longer time before they released the Portal, i thought it was a waste of money this device but I see often people need something easy and fast to use with best confort possible, to don`t waste on connecting devices and troubleshooting apps; any way I find the remote play on PS5 really good whatever you use, on tablet i connect ethernet cable direct from access point so it feels like to use the PS5 directly (the PS5 has an ethernet connection to another access point)
Yes, changing the desk would be painful indeed.
I was lucky and got mine at Walmart for 150 about a week ago.
I was surprised that it was just..
There. I have been looking everywhere for a while
What about playing games like Fifa Co-op or rocket league?
Just going to use the z fold 5 for it larger screen and works great for Playstation remote play.
Nice! What games do you enjoy playing on remote play?
@@purepsx days gone ff7 last of us. Spider man just to name a few.
The sticks are not replaceable on an edge controller because it costs $200, they are replaceable for customization purposes. If a steamdeck or Other premium handheld gets drift it's a far more expensive paperweight. But Portal has much bigger problem of the Y axis disconnecting on the sticks. Set haptics to lowest intensity asap!
does haptics on lowest intensity help?
@@purepsx I've read reports of the analog connectors releasing when they got heavy shake/haptics. So physical shock does sound like it can disconnect them.
Unfortunately I don't think media playback will ever come to the portal, my guess it's to do with HDCP. As for cloud streaming I'd be so happy with that. Fingers crossed they add that soon
But you can’t even use Spotify so it must be a license thing
How is the image quality? Doing a 1 on 1 to the screen rendering at 1080? I see no reviewer mentioning image quality at all.
In home i get an almost no latency gameplay and a decent image. Just not super sharp as the image on my screen with occasional stutters.
Which makes me wonder if that is the peak or i should keep looking for network upgrades in the house. But there is absolutely zero reviews on that and everyone you ask replies "plays perfect on me!". Even if they show a video with 200-500ms delay. God.
Got it today 🎉
amazing! how are you enjoying it so far!?
I really love your accent!
Thank you 🙏
Still love mine, use it most days
same! What games you been playing on it? I was playing Hell Divers 2 for a few hours last night and it worked perfectly!
Had mine for a month I love it
awesome! What games have you been playing recently?
Just got mine yesterday after a 2 week delay, got 2 hours or so last night on it, had 1 or 2 little stutters while playing FF7 Rebirth, but my ps5 isn’t wired and my internet speeds are good, so will have to pop an Ethernet cable into the PS5 and see if that helps
Definitely try that, let me know how it goes!
It comes down to the internet connection dont know why no body mentions that its the main thing but its worth it if you got premium internet system
very true! What games have you been playing on your Portal?
Mine always crashes my ps5, how strong should Internet strength and what Wi-Fi matters everybody using or mesh systems
How long have you had it . I have ok WiFi and don’t want to buy it because I heard more bad than good .
@@frankie.M I’ve had it for about a month. I have eero 5 (3of them) mesh and my ps5 is hard wired, I have 500mg, house is only 2300ft single story, I’ve tried on the you tube setting people post, u think mine is faulty?
There was so much complaining but yet it keeps selling out. And whats more its success seems to have led to Sony now working on a full on mobile gaming device (a ps Vita) based on rumours.
I know I really hope we get a true vita successor next, that would be cool! Did you get your hands on a portal?
My playstation pulse headphones work for it. As long as I use it in the house
yeah thats cool, thats because its in range of your PS5 which is a cool workaround! What games have you been playing on your Portal?
Single player Dad with great Internet who needs to free up the TV . 🙋🏾♂️
What the name of the game you playing on it
I have a Galaxy Ultra with a pretty good Almost 7in OLED screen with a backbone. Its good enough for me plus i can play emulators as well as my ps5 games while using Bluetooth and always having internet connection
nice! Which model of the Backbone did you pick up the standard one or the playstation version? I am working on a video comparing them both so stay tuned for that in the future!
@@purepsx playstation version. People always think it's a portal.
200 bucks is a steal with how hefty this thing is ...I actually bought one as a replacement for my duel sense , one of my duel sense triggers got sticky cause one of my kids spilled soda on it lol...This is like a premium controller with an added screen.
totally agree! amazing! What games have you been playing on your portal?
Hi what the game your view
I bought on day one release & I use it only when Im away for work in other countries & honestly Im extremely disappointed with it. The internet connection sucks & most of the times it disconnects & lags.
I’ve been playing mine a lot lately considering my son usually takes the tv for his cartoons.
awesome, its so good for things like that! what games have you been playing recently?
@@purepsx ff7 remake and I practice combos on Tekken 8 at the moment. But I can’t figure out why the portal won’t wake my PS5. I always have to use a regular controller to turn the system on first and then connect the portal
@Urlastnerve Do you power down your PS5 completely? You have to leave it in rest mode. Sometimes, it won't connect when installing/downloading games.
@@byiihizq yes it’s in rest mode and no nothing is downloading
@@Urlastnerve I suppose resetting the Portal might help.
Was that a Matrix game you were playing on the Portal? 0:59
Yeah it was the The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience! Pretty cool right!?
I remote play on my 14in tablet all the time. I play on getting this when it's available again.
awesome, hope you get your hands on one soon as its fab! What games do you play right now via remote play>?
I had it for 1 month, my modem was behind the sofa I was sat on, my ps5 was hardwired to it, about 2 meters away, and it would lose connection
Must be your wifi setup I’ve had no issues are you using a 5GHz connection or a 2.4GHz connection it matters. 2.4GHz can send data pretty far but a 5GHz band can send more data at once. The problem may be your connection not being able to send enough data at once causing connection issues. Need to be on a 5GHz band that can send up to 1gb of data where a 2.4GHZ can send up to 600mb.
It was a very positive and optimistic review of the PS portal. I’m getting mines tomorrow and I can’t wait! I believe it’s one of the most desired products of this year…
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it! What games are you going to play on your Portal? And check out some of my other videos for some cool hints and tips which may help out!
@@purepsx Valkyrie Elysium, Tekken 8 and Granblue Fantasy Re:Link…
Just got mines today but unfortunately I’m at work here til midnight so I probably can’t setup until I go home… I’ll definitely check ya out in the meantime…
I’ve been playing more games since I got mine. Like a lot more games
@@alanlewis1867 me too! Whats some games you have been checking out recently?
@@jessicarositas425 awesome! Any new games coming out soon your excited to play on your portal!?
Since you get the same experience minus not having to connect a controller every time, you get a bigger screen by using a tablet like the Ipad. $100 would be worth it, but not at $200.
My only complaint about the device itself? The touch pad implementation is pretty poor. I know it's not the most used button on average but every time I needed to use it? Took 3 or 4 taps on the sides of the screen.
Double tap. I got used to it
What game is that you’re playing?
Which one?
probably matrix awakens you are talking about, the one with all the shooting and cars?
@@purepsx in the portal video it looks like the Matrix. What is that?
Is that on PlayStation?
Is this thing had replaceable joysticks and Bluetooth I would give it a 10 out of a 10 as of right now I give it a 8 out of a 10.. they need to find a way for people to connect to hotel Wi-Fi where you need to authenticate, coincidentally it's literally called a portal with the device the portal doesn't have the ability to because of lack of a web browser lol..
It would be worth if it would be actual handheld and not only portable. Also its ridiculous that u need to buy 200$ costing earphones to it as an addition if u want to use headphones.
Still blows my mind that a device that just does the same exact thing as like 10 other products is sold out everywhere lol
Sony loyalty is strong!!
I just got mine and waited forever to hit the store !!!!
Awesome! What games are you playing on your portal!?
What game is it that you were playing shooting at the cars mate
Looks like the Matrix Awakens demo. It was free to download some time ago and shows off the unreal engine capabilities of the PS5.
Hey! Yeah it was the matrix awakens tech demo, I thought it would be good to show fast moving details look on the portal! Did you pick up a portal!?
@purepsx yes got mine a few weeks ago, spent some time on getting the ps5 wired, as i live in a victorian house with 18"thick solid walls. Static ip and ports forwarded. Not had a stutter since. Love it. 👍
Finally was able to order one through Walmart a few hours ago. Crazy that I’ve had a harder time securing a Portal than I did than a PS5 when it first released
I been wiping my phone screen..I thought I had a massive amount of dust on it .but it was just the screws in his walls.
haha the glare is real!
Can you play on this while someone plays on ps5
Of course not wtf.
@@pkmn_trainer_chito1502 wtf? Why you acting like a bitch?
For anyone complaining about lack of a web browser is a 99% chance it just won't happen they've had literally updates to the PS5 to make it less accessible on that device..
There's a pretty big reason for it and that reason came out in 2017 where people found a way to exploit the web browser on the PS3.. since then even with the PS4 it's been limited use of a web browser and then to the PS5 there's basically not a web browser there and it's hidden..
As far as a memory stick I'm not seeing that happen for any future devices supposedly they're working on another handheld I would be surprised if it has a web browser or any type of SD card slot because of the exploits people have bounds to be able to jailbreak prior systems..
They literally came out and said they see no use for next gen system to have a dedicated to web browser It's not a coincidence people..
Question is can this be modded?
Hey, in what way are you thinking?
@@purepsx thanks for your response. In the same way we’ve previously modded the psp. I know it’s probably impossible to get ps5 ISOs currently but would would this be able to used as a retro emulator in the near future? Or you don’t see that happening what so ever?
@@Dntwochmewochtv possibly it was hacked recently , you can check the info out in the video I did which covered this on the channel! It doesn’t have much onboard storage however which may be an issue unless the usb c port could be used for a memory stick to store more games
This review would be way more worth it if they were actually in stock
True! Hopefully more stock in the way soon for everyone! Have you been trying to get one for long!??
@@purepsx yes I have. It’s been a struggle and still have not gotten one. I refuse pay scalpers
@@newagehero9605 I totally agree do not buy from scalpers! Hopefully you get one soon! Worth trying websites which monitor stock levels in big retailers to help you try and get one ☝️
best thing i bought this year
amazing! What games have you been playing on your portal?
When you are playing wipeout remember to use your air brakes😊
haha thanks, I will try! I always forget as im trying to line the shot up with the camera and then I always crash lol Would you like to see a new wipeout game?
@@purepsx love to ❤️ I just found a Samsung CRT TV in perfect condition thrown out in the garbage so I’m actually playing wipeout on original hardware. It really takes me back.
🤘😎
@@onkelhiphop Awww that sounds amazing! Make sure you get wipeout 2097, that was always my favourite
The fact that this thing doesn't come with hall effect joysticks just baffles me.
At the very least, right?? Cmon..
My internet is on the other side of the house from my ps5 and I’m not running a 50 foot Ethernet cable to my room so just ordered this if it ain’t good I’m returning it
My boy was playing tekken 8 with the analog stick 😂. Somebody tell this man
Haha guilty!
I knew this would be a big deal. Everyone mocked me for pre-ordering. I was so happy when it sold out, that was the most satisfying told you so!
I was so lucky on day one I went to Amazon and got one for retail price. I didn’t even pre order now I go to amazon it’s sold out and there’s third party sellers selling it for 400 dollars double the price.
It seems kinda cool, but the device totally went backwards compared to the Vita and PSP. The price is too steep for a remote play online only device. Maybe a heavy discount would make much more sense.
I have mine for a week and playing allot more PS5 games now
awesome how are you finding it?
