Thread 725481132

Which one to choose?

Big Ol' PC

Is that the Xbox ROG Ally Xbox Xbox X Xbox? Isn't that like a thousand dollars?

>>725481132 (OP)
None of those. Deck 2 will offer the best value in a couple years

>>725481249
There are two versions. The cheaper white one and the ROG Ally X. I got the Ally X one, pretty good

>>725481249
The black verson is 1000.

>snoy trying to pass off the portal as handheld console
lmao

>>725481249
No, that's the more expensive one.
The base model that you see there is basically just a Steam Deck with Windows.
As in, it literally has the exact same SoC and specs, just with a higher CPU clock 3.6 GHz instead of 3.4 GHz) and a higher GPU clock (1800 MHz instead of 1600 MHz).
So to answer OP's question, probably a Steam Deck or a Switch 2.
Xbox Ally isn't worth it and the Portal isn't a real console, I might as well just buy a controller for my phone.

>Remote play device

>Gaming tablet with an RTX 2050 that can draw more power when docked

The portal is stupid.
The upcoming Steam Deck mogs the rog, and the Switch 2 is great for its price.

>>725481132 (OP)
Steamdeck is like 300 dollars

>>725481132 (OP)
>No games
>No games
>Will likely get games in the future
Guessing this is a poorfag thread so get the $200 no game machine.

>>725481132 (OP)
>A handheld ps4
No thanks I already have a steam deck. Shame Nintendo is so greedy

>>725481132 (OP)
There's gotta be some way to crack the portal right?

>>725481132 (OP)
The Retroid Pocket 5 and other $200 chinkhelds are a better purchase than the Portal.

>>725482246
How good are these at emulating Wii and 3DS games?
How long does the battery last?

>>725482081
The hardware inside the Portal is shit
It's not worth the price for its intended purpose and even less worth it on the hopes of cracking it

>>725481132 (OP)
>ROG Xbox Ally

>PS5 Portal
>a console
You're retarded, XSnoy

>>725482425
I've only emulated Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn on mine and it runs perfectly with an upscale. I haven't tied any 3DS games since I still own my 3DS. It's one of the more popular chinkhelds so you should be able to find answers elsewhere.

>>725482685
I should clarify that Radiant Dawn is the only Wii game I've emulated so far. I've mostly been doing PS2, PSP, GBA, and Android gaming on mine.

>>725481376
Is it worth getting the most expensive one? or should I just get a Steam Deck instead?

the portal is not a handheld console, you stupid fucking snoy.

>>725481132 (OP)
Only one has games

>>725481132 (OP)
Doesn't the Portal require a constant connection to a PS5?

>>725481132 (OP)
>portal
>console
fucking faggots

>>725484583
It does and it lags for 0.5 seconds, which is enough to fuck you over during online games. Haven't used mine in 4 months since I got it.

>>725484193
It's much more powerful than the steam deck so yes, my benchmark game was bannerlord and it ran silky smooth by default while it just runs ok on the steam deck with some adjustments. But between the white one and the steam deck pick the steam deck

>>725485492
Thanks anon.

>>725481132 (OP)
i mostly emulate old games on handhelds, so something android based to be light weight worked out the best for me. Also usable for streaming.

>>725484583
Not any more, you can stream games without a PS5 now.

>>725481132 (OP)
>Playstation Portable
Not even going to give this shit a response
>Steam Deck
I have a good PC, no reason to own this
>Switch 2
Only sensible choice since it'll have exclusives

>>725485889
Only in the US I assume.

i would love for snoys to keep pushing that the portal is a portable offline gaming device
get the normies to buy it, and find out they need to ether buy a PS5 or stream on the cloud.

>>725486308
I don't see why it would be restricted to the US, it works with a PS+ subscription.
I haven't tried it, but that's what the recent update changed.

>>725485889
so it's a portable stadia?

>>725481132 (OP)
>199$
>Can't play games without a really fast and uncapped connection plus monthly sub, or without an actual console to stream the games from
I honestly can't even see a single argument in favor of the ps portal that a phone with a detachable controller couldn't do.

>>725481132 (OP)
>Portal
Not a console, but a glorified Wii U tablet that doesn't work without $600 PS5
>Xbox ROG thing
Not a console, but a handheld PC. $599 and runs games worse than Switch 2
>Switch 2
Only $450, has actual exclusives, best power to price ratio, portable, docked and tabletop modes

>>725486598
It´s the same as that android "console" that launched not long time ago, but worse, since it only can run ps5 games.

>>725486598
Yeah

>>725481132 (OP)
>one is a weak tablet that can stream games

>Malding tendie
The three are consoles

>>725486842
>one is a MORE POWERFUL steam deck*

>>725486507
Well I turned it on after months and there is indeed an update. I'm excited but I have a feeling I'll be massively disappointed.

>>725486867
>portal managed to have even less exclusives than the ps5
bravo

>>725481132 (OP)
Nintendo is a hybrid and that's why I buy it, I don't care about buying another platform that doesn't have exclusives

>>725481132 (OP)
>PS Portal
>Handheld console

good one, OP. By that same logic the WiiU was a handheld console.

>>725487917
Wii U was a normal console, the GAMEPAD wasn´t able to run by itself. It was just a gamepad with an screen atached to it.

The one with exclusives and an actual future

>snoys desperately trying to push the portal
apple fans of gaming

>>725489794
I'm pretty sure this is an actual shill thread

>>725481132 (OP)

>>725486598
stadia was also portable

>>725481132 (OP)
What's the catch with far left, the sony console?
It only plays Cloud games, only PSTV games or what is it?

>>725490763
It's not a even a fucking system. It's a device to stream games off your PS5. A worse Wii U gamepad because it requires an always active internet connection.

>>725490763
Cloud and PS5 streaming only. It's useless.

>>725490763
it needs a PS5 for local wifi streaming or cloud streaming. it does what any phone with the playstation app can do

>>725490879
>It's not a even a fucking system.
Classic.
Leave it to OP to be a fucking faggot.

>>725481132 (OP)
Just get a Deck or Chinkheld over any of these

>>725489046
The Portal needs a PS5 to do anything, what's your point?

>>725491519
How dare you chud, for only $700 you can play all of those memorable PS5 games on the go, as long as you have an active wifi connection!

>>725481132 (OP)
The one you actually own after buying and has games (none of the three).

>>725489046
>Wii U was a normal console
It would have been IF IT DIDN'T REQUIRE YOU TO USE THE GAMEPAD FOR BASIC FUNCTIONALITY FOR NO FUCKING REASON. OH, IT DISCHARGED BECAUSE IT HAD NO GAMES TO PLAY? FUCK YOU STUPID, GET A CABLE, I'M NOT LETTING YOU IN ON THE SETTINGS UNTIL YOU DO.

>>725491651
So a super Wii U but with lag and unstable screen resolution because it needs to stay connected to be able work.

>>725492197
you're just jealous chang gets to experience the future of handhelds

>>725492090
Don't buy hinged chinkhelds. You want as few points of failure as possible.

>>725492773
>16:9
lmao

>>725493114
>that man is using the most common aspect ratio in the world

>>725493189
Well let's hope he doesn't play his games stretched.

the one with most exclusives you want to play
or no one, you aren't a fucking kid to play on a tiny shit screen

>>725493189
no good game is made in 16:9. all of them are 4:3.

>>725492773
>120 hz

what for
you get shit latency and compression

>>725492090

No thanks

Portal is usless without the ps5, nigger

>>725493552
not with local streaming. av1 is a gamechanger.

>>725493498
>exclusives

>>725493890
i dont use discord
but nice projection
dont forget to cry about them when mommy doesn't buy you another console for the next 10 years

>>725493519
Buy a black RP5. The screen is amoled so the black bars in 4:3 blend in with the system's face.

>>725481132 (OP)
>$199

This video just makes me want the Odin 2.

>>725481132 (OP)
first of all the ps portal isn't even a console, it's just a controller attached to a cheap modified android tablet

>>725495302
so it's a controller

>>725481132 (OP)
Neither because modern gaming is shit; I have no interest in movie games, grafixfaggotry that stretches production time, increases cost, and ultimately causes gameplay to suffer because gameplay stoped being the priority late gen 7, nor do I want to be complacent with subscription bullshit
Also, don't you need a PS5 just to use that handheld?

>>725495302
>>725495650
You can play games on it without a ps5

>>725495650
>buy a console
>can't play games because you dont own a tv

>>725481132 (OP)
>>725481215
Streaming to phone. For games that don't run on Android, that is. The handheld PC market would be more alive had it not been for Steam's own Steam Link, which automatically handles port-forwarding across the web. Moonlight seemingly struggles unless the forwarded ports are explicit and not subject to UPnP.

>>725494810
>just pay $200 for an inferior solution
would rather buy a $20 4:3 jeetheld

>>725491519
That the portal isn´t a core element of the console that is P$5? Also, the WII U controler´s screen afaik is an extension of the TV´s, something like having a nintendo DS. PS Portal is just an streaming machine, just that.

>>725493552
More like

>When the console will struggle to reach even 60 fps.

>>725495302
Glad you acknowledge PS portal is not a console, but a "controller"

>>725495829
I mean you can you just can't see it

>>725496648
i'm only shitting on handhelds anon
i have no brand loyalty like you faggots

>>725496893
Yes retard... everyone but (You) is a fanboy....

>>725481215
OK, Vegan, we heard you the first time.

>>725495829
??? the last THREE nintendo consoles can be played without a TV, why haven't the competition caught up?

>>725481132 (OP)
Easy

>>725495696
Incorrect. Even though you can play one now without streaming from a PS5, and just stream directly from the internet, you're still required to have a PS5 to pair it to to start using it in the first place.

STOP BADMOUTHING THE PORTAL, IT'S A REALLY HECKING GOOD DEAL!!!! SONY ALWAYS WINS BABY!!!

>>725481132 (OP)
is there anything more pathetic than snoys trying to shill the portal? If Nintendo had made it they would be chimping out against it, but I guess it's fine when sony does it

>>725481132 (OP)
The PS Portal is already very unappealing and then you had to use a picture with SkinwalkerBot on it.

If you already have PS+ then the portal is the best choice

>>725487791
Agreed thats why I got a deck

>>725487791
>>725501708
This, if it isn't from Nintendo and Valve now, I won't buy it.

>>725496893
Merely pretending, huh?

>>725481132 (OP)
Adults don't play video games in the backseats of their parents' cars.

Portal is fine if you have some type of bowel disease and are on the toilet all the time. It's shocking this sells at all.
Rog doesn't even play all Xbox games, skip.
Switch 2 is just a better more expensive Switch. As a handheld it's not worth it there's virtually no difference, only buy it if you have a 4k tv

>>725499696
they aren't consoles
they are shitty handhelds

>>725502729
pretending what?

>>725505431

>Can just buy an ROG ally z1 extreme for $350 or legion GO which are infinitely better value

>Steam dick cant even run some indie games like 7 days to die and voices of the void at 60fps at 800P LMAO


WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE STILL SHILL THIS SHIT, THE LEGION GO HAS A TRACKPAD.

Nigga just buy a legion go 2 with the z2 extreme, oled and joycons if you are an enthusiast handheld user.

Otherwise shut the fuck up and just buy a $600 high end 1080p gaming PC which can nearly play all indie and games besides modern UE5 slop. 5500+9060XT and a $100 pixio prime monitor with 110% SRGB

>>725510579
>$600 high end gaming PC
yeah...good luck with that lol
