What The Next PlayStation Handheld Needs To Succeed - Beyond Clips

[@CodenamePrince]

As long as the handheld can play games on the device without the need for internet, then I'll be happy.

[@kumarashwarya2185]

true, if it cannot do that then it will be very restrictive and it would suck.

[@yosoymichaelmyers]

Nah I need backwards compatible

[@CodenamePrince]

@@yosoymichaelmyers course, an internet connection should NOT be a requirement to play games but a feature to download them. We simply don't want another streaming device.

[@wombat9671]

My favorite thing about my steam deck is the ability to seamlessly transition between my desktop and deck without any type of loss progress. I basically get to choose how I play my games under one umbrella and Sonys handheld NEEDS to support that too. (Idk why they wouldn’t, I just thought I’d add that)

[@Nobody-w8n4s]

I’ll pay top dollar for complete library access ps1-psp-ps vita-ps2/3/4, I’ll buy them all again np.

[@THEdemetrishigashikata]

Honestly same

[@mcccxxiii1323]

1000% 👌 It’s angered me to no belief seeing how Sony doesn’t give two shits about classic titles I mean shit the Switch has an excellent library of 64 games But Sony can’t be bothered to

thats sad.

[@LCOF]

I'd love some interesting mobile handheld games using AR and onboard sensors but that level of imagination is more Nintendo's ballpark and not something Microsoft and Sony would even bother investing in.

[@mekman4]

Having seamless backwards compatibility with your back catalog (digital and physical) is such a flex. Let’s see who gets it right! Great Stuff, as always.

[@corrd3ll]

All you need to do is just make a portal 2 with internal storage/ add an SSD slot and allow you to download your games on it(offline play). Make it Oled and allow apps/ search browser

[@Blitzburgh17]

These new handhelds are the future. The model is already there. Sony and Microsoft will release their own companion handhelds that will run low setting versions natively of their libraries moving forward. People like taking their games on the go and these companies would love nothing more than everyone double dipping on hardware and further pushing digital only libraries

[@marcespino73]

To make the best handheld for ps5 -play all ps games -1Tb -having to play games without needing internet connection

[@Boss_Fight_Index_muki]

Ps5 portable will be too pricey, make a ps4 portable and sell it for $349. It'll be able to do all 1300 ps4 games day 1.

[@ShaunLevett]

I fear this will be another case of players saying they want something then just not buying it. That's why the PSP and the Vita failed. They were both great, but not enough people bought them. This user trait happens often. It's probably the reason Sony hasn't remastered Bloodborne. People say they want it, then when it arrives it doesn't sell enough. In fact Bloodborne sold only 7.46 million in total on PS4, as opposed to 20 million for Spider-Man which came out years later.

[@redring4083]

I won't say that the PSP failed. 80 million units sold is a pretty good number. The Vita on the other hand, I have seen more people talk about the Vita than actually own one. And as someone who bought the Vita, it wasn't such a great system.

[@AustereEchadh]

Would love to pop a game in and play without wifi or a ps5

[@TheDimeDrawer]

It must play all digital PS1/PS2/PS3/PS4/PS5/PSP & PS Vita games.

[@Broadwayj370]

I think they should expand on the portal. It’s already the coolest product they have. Like I can’t explain how great this thing is. It really is amazing. But I don’t think you can get the same level of power out of a ps5 handheld as you do an actual ps5. But you can STREAM the same amount power of a ps5.

[@Danivan444]

Sony should make a handheld that is designed to play HD Remakes of ps1 and ps2. That's an era of amazing original IP's and there's an audience that wants to relieve these games all over again.

[@n.i.gcode_name_nation3971]

As long as we have the option for physical media as well, I don’t.

[@jayart8751]

I would totally pass on the PS6 or whatever console Xbox makes and I'll get the handheld day 1 and use it for years

[@conkerlive101]

[@ddtsolosmiles9481]

A more urgonomic Ps vita that takes sd memory has R2/L2 buttons instead of a back touch pad. It can play cloud gaming and be able to download all the games PS4 and below.

[@THEdemetrishigashikata]

A handheld first of all needs to be truly portable and pocketable other wise you may as well just lug around a laptop. There's no point of super large handhelds I draw the line for size at the switch lite

[@olivur_1459]

Gorgeous 120Hz AMOLED Display, great comfortable design, and good modern tech inside for $450 + 1 year of PS Plus Extra. let's get it, Sony.

[@ArchAngeLs777Gaming]

I think it needs the following: 1) to be able to play PS5 games like the Steam Deck can play the PS games ported to Steam. I agree, it should not try to have its own exclusive library. 2) as Jada says, should lean into pocket size portability somehow like a folding screen. I dont want something bigger than the current switch for sure. 3) A dock would allow dual sense controller use, etc. 4) total backward compatibility built in with all previous platforms. This would be a major driver in software sales. Image being able to buy, download, and play titles from: - PS1 - PS2 - PS3 (yes finally PS3 backward compatibilty) - PSP - PS Vita - PS4 - PS5

[@myscorebig]

@@ArchAngeLs777Gaming it won't be fully backwards compatible. Having a spot for umds and vitas cartridges would make it too large/cumbersome.

[@ArchAngeLs777Gaming]

@@myscorebig I think the Vita store is still online and includes PSP titles. They'd probably have to add them all to the current PS5 store.

[@popzeus3000]

It feels like the very idea of Sony releasing a PS5 portable would mean that Sony really plans on making the base model PS5 the center of gravity for this generation. You can't optimize for the Pro and the Portable without sticking close to what performs best on the standard console. Also can't help but think that this could really make any ambitious PS5 release a lot more complicated than if there was one SKU in terms of performance.

[@CaliMisfit]

The handheld gaming market can finally put mobile gaming down to shame. Mobile exclusives on handheld portable machines mean more power and better games. That’s what they should focus on. So many mobile games that were squandered.

[@WillofSD]

What's the point of having an exclusive game for handheld? Why would a game developed by PlayStation only work on a PlayStation 5 handheld and not on a PlayStation 5 or 6? What advantage does that give to PlayStation? Or does it just limit consumer choice to another device that's already in their own ecosystem? Sony makes their money on games, not necessarily on the hardware here, so it doesn't make sense to make a handheld exclusive game. You don't see Nintendo doing that.

[@tacos4419]

You really asking this? Games made specifically for a handheld can be more enjoyable on a handheld...

[@jondub81]

SD Card option is a must! No special Sony only memory card option please!!

How about letting us customize the stuff we already paid for. How about giving us features that we already had. I mean at what age did we start going backwards?

Don't abandon the handheld if things get rough. Vita just stopped making exclusives and promoted Indie games...smh. I bought it to have heavy hitters on the go not 2nd/3rd tier games

[@spudeedeelweiss]

Sony working on a handheld only means that Xbox handheld is real and Sony as we know wanted to still dominate the handheld market against MS

[@rafaelo1013]

Support, keyword is support, of course it will have cool technology and be a nice console as everything Sony does, but we need something like the PSP, as long as it has its own cool library and is as supported as the PSP, it will be a hit certainly.

was there any reason the portal didn't play it's own game? Kinda upset about it. Kinda like having stuff to bring with me. THen again some times it gets misplaced. Kinda upsetting.

[@mackers_855]

I’m wandering how they will manage game development from resource standpoint. Fewer and fewer games coming out coz of development cycle and Nintendo consolidate their portable and console resources to help that. My worry is what would impact be to console game development if a handheld in place (assuming games can’t play on both handheld and PS6 or whatever it is)

I am interested in a Vita successor, but I'm not interested a literal handheld PS5. Why would I want to REBUY the same exact PS5 games I already own but on a small screen format? And it would mean rebuying, since I buy PS5 games physically and there is no way a handheld PS5 will play PS5 discs. I'm even less interested in something that is internet dependent and streaming based. NO THANKS. Instead I want to see Sony do what the Vita did - dedicated handheld that plays its own games, small compact cartridges and cool innovations. But ditch the proprietary memory card in favor of Micro SD only. Please. No more sony-only awful memory cards.

What Sony really needs to do is give Australia cloud gaming. We have xbox game pass and nvidia cloud gaming so why can't we have Playstation cloud gaming as I got the 30th anniversary edition Playstation Portal. I would 100% buy a dedicated Playstation handheld as long as it does play the current generation games like the Portal. Sony really needs to release a dedicated handheld ASAP not in 2 years or more time.

I don’t understand this, they can easily update the Vida so that it can remote to PlayStation 5… Maybe a slight revision with newer hardware is needed… maybe put a game like Monster Hunter world /ice born on it (remote to PS five to play wilds)… They would probably be surprised that people will start buying that system again for that alone. I don’t think they need something brand new. Get rid of cross buy. Create scaled down versions of digital games and allow them to be automatically added to your library so that it’s playable with Vita if you own them.already. If the game is bought physically, it would need to be bought again. Just like if you buy a digital PS4 game with a free PS5 upgrade…. Or charge something like $10. such a beautiful system wasted.
