NEXT LEVEL iPhone Gaming - Backbone Controller PlayStation Edition!

[@JCKRGB]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnTRlGeqdpqJhJY 👈🏻The PlayStation Portal is here, check out my review! 🎮

[@JCKRGB]

UPDATE: There’s a slightly modified Gen 2 Version now shipping that works with some phone cases and takes into account the big camera bump. So the phone no longer sits at an angle! Thanks to the commenters who pointed it out! ✌🏻

[@charvlim5159]

Theres a recently released usbc backbone that supports case for iphone 15., printed in front of the box says “for iPhone” and “for android”

[@JCKRGB]

Ohh amazing! Thanks for letting me know I’ll check it out! ✌🏻

[@mr.n476]

gen2. kinda bad marketing by backbone as they never announced the 2nd gen

[@charvlim5159]

@@mr.n476 i think they might have not anticipated the usbc switch of the iphone 15…and i guess they didn’t want to let people know that they fvckd up rolling out their last batch inventory., so they sort of like silently released this ver/gen2 thingy

[@Queen_Popsicle]

Seems like they are trying to offload a bunch of the lightning ones. Costco has the lightning version for $70 with a $25 ps card included. Backbone also had this deal on their website, but without the $25 PSN card.

[@SourStrawberrys]

​@@charvlim5159That is not an excuse. Most phone users are android users. Android makes up the vast majority of the market and all those phones use type c. They should have announced it for all these users.

[@davedoubledecks1614]

I brought the v2 version yesterday from Amazon as the price has dropped to £69.99 so a bargain now and love it on my iPhone 15 pro max with a case.

[@JCKRGB]

Nice one! I swapped mine for a Gen 2, fits bigger phones much bigger! ✌🏻

[@JamesDark]

3:00 what game is this? thanks

[@JCKRGB]

Asphalt 9 in the App Store! ✌🏻

[@JamesDark]

@@JCKRGB thanks😎😎

[@Adamkilla9000]

Did the PlayStation portal arrive yet I would love to see your review since I love mine

[@JCKRGB]

Yes! Review coming soon! ✌🏻

[@OttawaZoiks]

I have an Xbox Series X, and a Playstation 5. I currently have an iPhone X with lightning and am running the old Black BackBone One with it, and can run Remote Play from my PS5 very well. However, I'm planning on getting an iPhone 15 Pro Max after Christmas, and there was a deal to buy a USB-C version of the BackBone One for $30.00 less as I bought the previous version. I've confirmed that the version I received is the '2nd Generation'. Are you saying that I won't be able to use this for PS5 remote play because I bought the black version?

[@JCKRGB]

It’s a bit confusing, on the product page it says the Black version with Lightning works with PlayStation Remote Play, but doesn’t say the same for the Black USB-C version.. Not really sure why! They have a support article saying the same: help.playbackbone.com/hc/en-us/articles/13658801741847-Which-Backbone-One-models-can-I-use-PlayStation-Remote-Play-on-

[@OttawaZoiks]

@@JCKRGB Thanks for the link. I wonder why they did that? I guess Sony only wants you playing their service with a device that looks like their hardware. Must be some licensing thing.

[@JCKRGB]

@OttawaZoiks You’re welcome! Yeah that’s probably it! I think maybe Sony themselves restricts the controllers that can work with the Remote Play app. And as this is licensed they want people to use their version ✌🏻

[@Adamkilla9000]

The gamevice flex is the best controller for lightning iPhones and android because of the best thumbsticks, next to the gamesir Galileo g8!!!

[@Hailknow1]

I use a pitaka case and it works for me with case its an ultra thin case

[@JCKRGB]

Nice one! ✌🏻

[@marksapollo]

I may get this for my iPhone 13 Pro. It’s better then the Portal as you can use any WiFi or even 5G and any Bluetooth headphones.

[@JCKRGB]

Go for it! Makes iPhone gaming 100x better and works great with PS Remote Play! ✌🏻

[@linksn1]

The yellow tinge to your airpods is creeping me out

[@neerajsalunkhe6278]

Can we play any game installed in iPhone using this gamepad ?

[@JCKRGB]

As long as that game supports game controllers, then yes! ✌🏻

[@paulm8157]

Funny, your fingers don’t look at all like sausages😂 Jack. Am not into games, myself, but the device is intriguing. Wonder if it can be programmed to operate a drone. Can the games be “cast” to a TV while using this controller? Cheers!

[@JCKRGB]

Haha! I guess you could AirPlay the phone screen to another screen! But that would add some latency. Thanks for watching Paul! ✌🏻

[@whitbysolesociety]

Sorry, so can you play iOS and android games on the PlayStation version?

[@JCKRGB]

Yep! As long as that game supports a controller. But most games will display ABXY for the button prompts, not the PlayStation Shapes ✌🏻

[@whitbysolesociety]

@@JCKRGB Thank you for replying mate. Appreciated.

[@JCKRGB]

@whitbysolesociety5675 you’re welcome! ✌🏻

[@lastdimestudios]

You defo need to do a VS video!! Great vid.

[@JCKRGB]

Got the PS Portal now too! Will compare them in my review! ✌🏻

[@lastdimestudios]

@@JCKRGB excellent looking forward to it. I just ordered the BB gen 2 so should coming in the next few days.

[@hanleyleung]

need something with a fan too

[@gloriapereztoledo3632]

How's it work with the battery? Does it drain the iPhone too quickly?

[@JCKRGB]

Barely has any noticeable effect on the battery! ✌🏻

[@JJonasken]

Does it work with a phone case?

[@JCKRGB]

Yeah, the Gen 2 should work with most standard phone cases. As long as it’s not too thick ✌🏻

[@ouchmoma]

Does this work with steam remote play and gamepass cloud gaming as well on iphone?

[@JCKRGB]

Yep! All editions work with Xbox Gamepass and Steam Link! ✌🏻

[@YoungRich-t1v]

Can I play fifa with connect to my PlayStation

[@JCKRGB]

Yep! Most games on PlayStation will work with Remote Play! ✌🏻

[@Sanchez9241]

does it have vibration?

[@JCKRGB]

It doesn't! That would be a real nice addition as well! ✌🏻

[@Sanchez9241]

@@JCKRGB very strange consider the price and Sony license

[@JCKRGB]

@Sanchez9241 Yeah especially how much Sony is pushing things like Haptics in their games. Might just not be enough space inside for strong enough motors! ✌🏻

[@513gangstaboo]

Can I play my Xbox on this backbone or no

[@JCKRGB]

Yep! Probably best to get the Standard Edition for Xbox so the buttons match up ✌🏻

[@obione5532]

Yes

[@513gangstaboo]

@@obione5532 thank you

[@craigwoodgate7120]

When he said hey pay $200 for the PlayStation portal when you can buy a backbone controller for $99 and use your phone but the screen is a lot smaller and is more cramped to hold compared o the PlayStation portal

[@JCKRGB]

Yeah I mentioned the size difference. The Portal has haptics and adaptive triggers as well so it would be interesting to see how they compare after trying both ✌🏻

[@SourStrawberrys]

However your phone is a much better screen than the portal. You also and use the backbone with Google play games, games from the Apple app store, Apple arcade, Netflix games, Steam, Xbox gamepass, etc. You cannot do that with the portal. The portal also doesn't have Bluetooth capabilites which defeats the purpose of using it portabily in public spaces. Otherwise you will have to spend much more money just to buy sony's PS headphones just to use it with the portal. Also with the backbone you can use your phone's data. With the portal it is wifi only. A smaller screen is a small price to pay when you consider all those advantages.

[@JCKRGB]

Got any good iPhone game recommendations? 🎮📱👀

[@PhearaXT]

I thought Sony made this controller for iPhone.

[@JCKRGB]

Nope! It’s made by Backbone, they partnered with Sony to make it officially licensed for PlayStation ✌🏻

[@mariusznowak725]

Wait, Wait and buy Gamesir G8 Galileo,much better controller,proper full size controller felling and lots of extras!

[@vanventuresofjesus]

Doesn't look like it's going to work with a case on. Specially a mouse case which seems like a major con.

[@mrjkrace1]

Backbone one version 2 made for iPhone 15 works with Android USB-C ...supports phone with cases

[@vanventuresofjesus]

@mrjkrace1 that's greats thanks for the info.

[@c.daubz.5386]

Costs twice as much as it should for just phone controller accessory, software lock paywall for full service, if your a gamer with system at home get $10-15 controller mount an use your ps5 or xbox controller for even better gaming experience, backbone would be great if it cost $50, fit phones with case on, usb-c connector flexed for better fit but it doesn’t so can’t recommend, 👍👍video

[@SourStrawberrys]

True. $50 would have been great. But to be fair the app isn't not really needed to use device. It is just convient to have. But it shouldn't be a subscription. It should be part of of that extra $50 they charger for controllers that should only be $50

[@dedijumawadiwaharta7289]

Apakah Ini bisa buat main pes mobile? Jika bisa tolong buat video nya

[@JP-jc7tr]

Is there anyone on KZbin that uses cases for their phone?

[@Soljie1969]

They all can do PlayStation remote play, doesn’t have to be the PlayStation version .

[@bklyn531]

Does this require a PlayStation to use?

[@JCKRGB]

For Remote Play, yes, you’ll need a PS4 or PS5 to run the game which gets streamed to your phone screen with the Remote Play app. Or you can use the Backbone as a controller for native iOS games from the App Store ✌🏻

[@MootazLtaief]

I honestly don't get why this piece of junk is getting all this hype, it's the worst overpriced piece of junk, joysticks are so small with vary little directional movement and also feel very cheap, the buttons are so tiny that you can press two buttons at a time by accident quite often.
