Yeah those for sure don't blink. Which press articles say they do?

I dunno.  I saw the video and wanted "confirmation" so i google news it. In the first 6 articles i read 4 said they blinked,.. one said they had better blink,. One said they wished they did blink. 

The video was cute but.misleading

The PlayStation Portal was very successful and they are paying very close attention to the current handheld market :)

Oh boy!

I don't want Sony to make more hardware like Vita and PSVR2 that will die without support, but I'd love a steamdeck equivalent made by them.

you know there's going to be a huge double standard right?

steam deck
- 0 exclusives
- plays maybe 50% of your steam library

...greatest hardware every invented!!


sony's next portable
- 0 exclusives
- plays maybe 50% of your psn library

....what the hell is this shame.   why isn't sony supporting this.  it can't even play every game in my library.



personally i'd love a steam deck for psn.   i pretty much hate my steam deck but it's exactly what i want from sony/psn.   just more consolified and (most importantly) with my massive catalog of psn games instead of my non-existant catalog of steam games.

Oh for sure. It's probably a non winnable battle.

I loved Vita though. Give me native Vita emulation and I'm sure it'll sell hundreds!

probably not honestly.  that means a rear touch pad.  I want parity to the dual sense.  I tried playing infamous on vita and remapping L2/R2 to the touch screen did not feel good.  

I could have dealt with the low graphics but the lack of a full control scheme sucked. 

[kitler53]

which btw,.. I saw someone else post this but I really liked it.  if/when Sony makes this they should brand it "PlayStation portal pro". 

I think that's a smart way to help people understand this is to extend your home console not complete against it.

L2/R2 were best mapped to the back touch screen, just took a while to get used to. I also never understood why Sony or a 3rd party didn't make little clip on L2/R2 buttons that'd just physically press the rear touch screen.

Also yeah no way would a new handheld have back touch again. They really struggled with making it come across as a useful feature.

it was kind of fun in little deviants.   but yeah,.. it's the kind of thing i think nintendo would have made a lot of "gimmick" use of but sony pretty much ignored it themselves which really made it useless.   it's like the hardware team wanted to be nintendo-like but they never talked to anyone on the software teams.  nintendo clearly at least has the hardware and software teams talking more.

for fudges sake,.. the dual sense has lots of functionality that no one but astro bot has used.   it blows my mind that monkey ball supports motion control input but you can't use them on ps5.  i don't personally love gyro control shooters but sony should mandate that in their games at least.

It's hilarious how many people credit Nintendo with gyro aiming. Head shotting was so easy in Golden Abyss thanks to it.

Sony devs will include stuff as an obligation and then never touch it again. They're so good at accessibility features, you'd think they'd be set up to support some of these fun inputs too, but nope.


I was really surprised when Animal Well actually used the touchpad as a touchpad. It's so rare.

It's weird having playstation grow old. PS1 was closer to the Moon landings than to today.

Shapes of play sounds interesting
