Only I’m can’t understand why this device exists? Basically any computer and mobile device with remote play can do the same, so why you would want to spend money for another one, but with only one function? And for example as I know, display of PlayStation portal kinda sucks and my iPhone 13 Pro Max gives more colorful picture with same remote play app, so, what the point?
my phone isn't very good at being a remote play device, either i need a weirdo controller holder thing that flops about, or a strange third party controller that has housing that feels terrible to use. or i awkwardly prop the phone up and use a ps controller somewhere?
this is for people who want to play ps games whist the tv is in use. it makes sense, it's too damn expensive for what it provide but it makes sense. it's similar to being able to use the switch when the tv is in use.
Also a phones screen is incredible small in comparison. The aspect ratio of nowadays phones is not 16/9 so even with an iPhone pro max you get like about 6" screen vs 8", which is a 30% increase diagonally and results in like 60% more screen area. It's a very big difference and I really can't bother playing a game on SUCH a small screen personally, which is why I don't really use remote play as of now
No, you aren't the only one. That is the general impression people have, that it isn't needed.
Though, there are some people like me, who prefer dedicated devices, or some who don't have phones as good as iPhone 13. I won't be pre-ordering it, but I may get it eventually. Specially if I can get it on a good sale.
I’m sure they are doing it on purpose, but the device can render content up to 60fps where the app can only do 30.
So at least there’s something.
Sony should put their efforts into a decent smartphone/tablet and case to click controllers into. I don't need another peripheral that offers less functionality than an undocked Switch.
I'll personally give a big sloppy kiss to everyone who works for Sony if they made an Xperia 2
