Do people really use Remote Play as much to get Sony to develop a dedicated device like this?

I love Remote Play but it works much better within the house. I've tried it by streaming from other places but is not as good.
 
I honestly don't know what this is for. Can't you just stream to your phone or laptop. Don't really see the point unless it's super cheap.

I have the backbone and its awesome. I bet they have metrics around remote play and see a growth opp there
 
PlayStation is doing too well and has too much money. They are starting to just make stuff to see if it sticks. I don't understand the need of this device when you have Android and iOS devices.
 
Not necessary at all.

Complete waste of time and resources.

These punks are all trying to condition gamers into being used to streaming.
 
People have other screens around the house.

People have other earbuds/headphones around the house.

Are these really needed?

I'm just waiting for a PS branded pen and notepad now.

Just let us remote play from PS5 to Vita.

Wifi card is shit in the Vita and Sony can't make money on them now because they don't produce them any more.

The design language for this entire gen for Sony is dreadful. I suppose some people like the white bulbous hardware but yeah, ugly as sin IMO.
 
I'd like that streaming device but I'd be shit scared it would get stick drift and cost you a bomb to replace. I got 2 ps5 controlers with it already.
 
Sony is now appealing to a walled ecosystem like Apple. If you didn't notice, they don't want you streaming on Mobile. Ps Now will probably take precedence on that machine including remote play for those who have a PS5 and most of you will eat it up in the name of convenience.

This device is precisely streaming in the house. I'm sure it will be very good for streaming with low latency. Whether it's a necessary product I don't hold a opinion but it's there for the niche market that wants it.
 
Once I saw that portable unit I thought Batman was going to come flying in!

So basically it is just a Backbone One with a larger permanent screen and DualSense controls...I think I'll pass...hopefully they don't price it more than $100 otherwise that thing is DOA
 
The ear buds might be ok actually after looking at them.

Instead of this I wish they did wireless/wired extender like how valvevdid for steam so I don't need to buy two ps5 a
 
this legit has to be the dumbest device they could have made...

I can literally emulate the functionality of this thing on 3 different devices I already own, and their Remote Play isn't even remotely (hehehe) good enough for any game that needs fast response time.

this isn't like the Wii U gamepad that had less input lag than most TVs at the time, which was only possible because the GamePad and the Console were connected directly through an analog video stream using purpose build hardware specifically for that.
Similar to the tech used by those professional Drone Racing guys. only analog signals are lag free enough for those.

this thing will stream through wifi, so even if it will allow a direct connection (which I'm not sure it will), the video stream will still need to be encoded to a digital video format, then send to the device, which then has to decode and display it.

I could use this when the TV is busy granted the price will be acceptable. I usually use remote play to my PC but a handheld device would be better.
I also don't like to use my phone for this.

The POS Logitech equivalent for Xbox is £349 :messenger_tears_of_joy:
 
I will get Q if it's 200$. Not a dime more.
It's just a wide dualsense with a screen and bigger battery

The handheld looks like a random photoshop that was actually manufactured.

I'd buy a proper handheld but have absolutely no interest in that.
 
Project Q looks like something someone made in PS as an April Fools joke, plus these days you can stream on almost anything.

That's the design they went with huh? A tablet that looks like it's in a controller grip...but then you have some sleek earbud design and case right next to it...man....

Which begs the question, couldn't they have just sold us a grip and launched an app for streaming on android and IOS, or is the dedicated hardware in this that good?

I look forward to the Digital Foundry video, and that screen doesn't look like an OLED...

This is designed to only be used in your house where your ps5 is

I'm also wondering if it has to be on the same network as the PS5 to work as well, with my cell phone and my Backbone One I can use Remote Play when I am not even at home (works fairly well, just don't expect to play a good game a CoD on it)
 
Need a PS5, need a good internet connection because it's remote play. Chasing the Switch's success without realizing what makes the Switch desirable. This remote play device will probably be $200. Curious how much the ear buds will be, probably $150 I think.
