Use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Controller-Remote-OIVO-Adjustable-Playstation/dp/B07Z4RFKXD/ I've connected a PS4 controller I have guys to my smartphone and there's still icons on the screen. Also there's black bars too, it's not fullscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't need to do anywhere near Vita numbers to be successful. This is seemingly more a special controller than a dedicated handheld. Sony doesn't need to develop new games or system software for it. A more relevant comparison is the DualSense Edge rather than the Vita because that is what this seems to be: a controller with a built-in screen, a Wii U pad... although hopefully more comfortable.

There should be an option once a controller is connected to remove the button overlay. I’ll fire it up in a little but and look at how to do that.

ExHaseo Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 If it's just for remote play, I really wouldn't call this a console at all. It's just a peripheral. One I really don't understand the point of that I guarantee will be way too expensive. You can already just do remote play with your phone. Buy a controller for it for like $30 and it's now the same thing. But cheaper and more convenient. Since it's you're phone, something you already own and carry with you all the time already. I also guarantee this thing will be at least $100, if not $200+. I really don't understand what Sony is thinking with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I will maybe get something like a Vita 2, but I need to see that it'll actually be supported first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepEyes7 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I'm very interested if they can solve the input lag problem, lately I have been playing PS4 using PSPlay App with a wired PS4, wired Controller and Wi-Fi 5Ghz to have the smallest input lag possible, still playing a rhythm or fighting game PROPERLY is impossible, sure I can play it but not as fine as it should be and for a new product I expect the best performance.

Have you experimented with isolating your Remote Play app device to use a channel that's not crowded on your router to see if that helps with input lag?

WiktorM101 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I would buy handheld but no remote play/steam only device. Handhelds are popular again, money is there but this doesn't look like proper one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the first question would be: How much would you pay for a smartphone with a really nice 8 inch screen? There aren't any, but the larger screen sizes tend to be way over the $100 price you think is too expensive for this. Granted this is all still a rumor, but I don't think Sony is in any way saying you can't just use any capable phone with a controller and Remote Play, just like they're not telling people they have to buy their newest 65" Bravia OLED TVs. There's definitely a market for a nice, 8-inch Remote Play device for the appropriate price, even if it's not you. 8 minutes ago, Cryogenicide_X said: Thank you.

If you're talking about PSNow, it was really only on Sony televisions and you still need a PS controller. They stopped support because the entire service was a mess and they consolidated it.
