D-word, so you’re saying I can play PS5 from a dang steam deck?

Takes minutes to set up, highly recommend it. I use it on my PS4 all the time.

Remote play in the house is excellent with Chiaki. I know it works across the web as well, but I can’t figure it out. It just doesn’t work and I have no idea if it’s the way I set up chiaki, the way I set up port forwarding, the way my router handles port forwarding, or simply the internet connection from which I’m attempting to connect. I wonder if the Portal has these issues, because not having to deal with any of that is actually a pretty solid selling point.

Been able to all along Xbox as well. Saved my bacon when I ruptured my Achilles tendon.

Hope you’re feeling better. Good to know it’s possible, as I’ve got more cash invested into the PlayStation platform than I probably should have.

Yes, it's a pretty popular option.

Sony's own PS Remote Play app has always been garbage. Even on PC, on phones, on anything. I never had faith they'd improve it for Portal. Sony has only disappointed me nonstop since 2011. Steam has only continued to win me over time and time again.

Ever since the PS3 they have been a generation behind Xbox for online services and connectivity in their consoles.

So I seriously miss the target audience of PS Portal? Are they only targeting people who want to use this device in their own houses either in the bed or on the sofa? And that's a pretty steep price for such a useless device.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That fact that it can't even play direct from the PS+ cloud gaming service shows what a half-baked device this is.

In order for me to be interested it would have to be able to stream games in from my PS5, PS+ cloud gaming, and my PC. Maybe add Xbox GamePass streaming as well.

Realistically it's going to have to come from a third party if it wants all that, at which point you might as well just have a controller grip for your phone.

Are there any privacy or security concerns using chiaki?

Nope. It is all local

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems like a stupid decision to make remote play from PS5 system agnostic when your own handheld device doesn't even work with it.

Like, ELI5, what kind of executive decision making strategy is at play to completely undermine your unprofitable portable hardware?

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sony has their heads up their asses for a long time now. This is no surprise

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also sounds like they saw Steam Deck and how everyone started releasing shit to compete, and they couldn't scramble together anything more meaningful.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, its a damn shame. I loved my PSP and I would have bought another similar device years ago if it existed. But now that Steam Deck exists, that ship has sailed. I fucking adore my Steam Deck
