But its not a piece of shit. This is my main issue with the review. It gives the impression that the device sucks when its anything but. Richard is way too harsh on it. No wonder sony didnt send him a review copy. They have him read like an open book. I bet he doesnt get the pro either after all the nonsense they have been spouting off saying its not needed whilst bitching about 60 fps modes in games dropping below 1080p. DF is literally fucking losing it.
This part of the review is nonsense. Ive not seen any of this. You can try this right now on your ipad or phone. See if you can notice the lag, the banding or the compression. Like i said earlier, Horizon FW was the only game where i saw compression artficats but they went away when i switched to 60 fps. game has too much detail. 30 fps modes on Callisto, Spiderman 2 and ratchet are fine.
Again, nonsense. I literally just tried Spiderman 2 on my 5G phone connection and it was fine. Not as responsive as my home internet but still very playable. Switched to 60 fps and it smooth as fuck. Again, you can try this on your phone right now.
you dont need to connect directly. but you might need a good router. upgrade your damn router. its especially nowadays when you might have 20 devices connected at once in a house like i do. this in 2005.
Should, but not unacceptable. the screen is gorgeous. I put it next to my oled in game mode, and the colors still looked vibrant.
Should stream directly from PS5 like the Wii U, yes.
Cloud streaming is different from remote play. You are streaming from PS5s on some cloud server in your region. This thing is streaming from your local PS5. Try remote play on your phone or ipad to see how it holds up.
