You do know that lots of cars actually have Wifi built in now right?
Remote play is barely functional on my home Wi-Fi network, good luck using a LTE hotspot in a moving vehicle (for $50 a month)

Does the Portal offer any benefits beyond just being a controller with a screen and remote play?
Is there any reason to buy it instead of just using a phone mount on a dualsense?
Oh, ok. Being able to play PS Plus games without having a console is a legitimate benefit, for an admittedly small use case.
I'm wondering what the benefits for PS5 owners are though? I know it can be used as a controller. Does it have back buttons? If so I could seriously see myself purchasing this over an Edge. Despite the screen I think it might actually have better battery life lmao.
In my opinion PS5 is incomplete without Portal .
But a very good onethe Portal is a glorified dedicated Remote Play device
Yes it is and I enjoyed my time with my Portal but honestly I found myself only using it when my wife and I went to bed and she would read and I wanted to game a littleBut a very good one
You can't pick your TV up & just walk around freely playing games ( Even though I actually have a portable monitor that I could walk around with & use my HDMI transmitter or just use a tablet to remote Play)You should buy a TV.

I much more enjoy remote play using my IPad Pro with a dual sense connected to it
So then what benefit do you derive from the Portal?You can't pick your TV up & just walk around freely playing games ( Even though I actually have a portable monitor that I could walk around with & use my HDMI transmitter or just use a tablet to remote Play)
2006, Welcome to the future
It was over 30 titles, but whatever.Please don't tell me you said 2006 because of the 3 games the PS3 could stream on the PSP and PS Vita
It's one device & I can just pick it up & go . Even if you're in the room with a TV Portal is a more focus & immersive way of playing because everything is all together in your hands.So then what benefit do you derive from the Portal?
A lot of them have actually found their way to the PS5/Portal already but I'm sure some of your favorites haven't or you would like a updated version or new entry.
Edit: Examples

You wouldn't ask someone why they have headphones when they have speakers at home.
So asking people what Handheld orientated games they would like on PS5 is somehow trying to make Portal seem decent?Its a remote play device fuck my life LOL, if it was a separate system then fair enough, the copium to try and make this thing sound decent is funny

lol alright dude. I thought you may have been acting in good faith in this thread until "The Portal is actually better than playing on a TV"
Who even needs a hybrid console when a phone strapped to a controller is the worlds greatest gaming experience?
The portal is definitely a better buy compared to the edge.
Also :
- No, no back buttons
- the screen for an LCD is actually preeetty good
- battery life, with a vibration setting set to the lowest one and with the screen brightness at half can reach in my experience up to 6 hours.
- benefits being the fact that you can actually play all your PS5 library without having to pair and repair your joypad from the PS5 to your tablet/phone each and every time, being able to have haptics (not supported on Android) and not draining your phone's or tablet's battery like a mfker..

I didn't say it was better it's different & if the headphones vs speakers example didn't reach you that's not my problem.
You asked what was the benefit now you're mad at the answer lolYou said it was "a more focus & immersive way of playing" compared to playing it on the TV in front of you, which certainly seems to indicate that you thought it was better.
It was over 30 titles, but whatever.
It's still something that's not exactly new and the PS4 expanded that.
It's not some magical futuristic technology that people seem to make it out to be.
You asked what was the benefit now you're mad at the answer lol
Because the answer is dishonest. Playing on a little screen in your hands, with increased latency, is not better than playing on a large TV.
Are you actually claiming that you prefer playing on the Portal to playing with a home entertainment center?
Dishonest is claiming someone said something that they didn't even after they tell you that's not what they said.
They are different experiences sometimes you will want to play on TV & sometimes you will rather grab the Portal.
Do you go around trying to explain to people that a TV is better than watching content on their phones & tablets?
This stuff isn't even hard to understand but the topic is about the games.
Do you think people will run to the TV every time they want to watch something over just enjoying it on their phone or tablet wherever they are?I don't have to, because obviously watching something on a TV is better than watching something on a phone.
Unless you watch exclusively vertical content I don't see how this is even in question.

Is there really much difference in undocking your switch & picking up your portal?
