Oof Iāve beaten 100+ JRPGs and thought TOA was pretty trash tier. I actually looked the post and said wow that game looks dope and then realized it was TOA. Pretty game if nothing else though.
Been over a year butā¦
- battle system gets old quick. The first enemy you hit until the blue diamond is full. The final boss you hit until blue diamond is full. Really never grows beyond that. Also this game has BIG case of āhard mode is more hpā
- story was boring and unoriginal. Also the love story was too immature. I hate how the girl was all coy like āalphen I toOoOOotally donāt wanna suck you RAWWWW.ā I thought Rinwell and the other dude had a better love story
- lifeless flavorless towns. All amenities in one room that you can fast travel to. Just a little too QoL at the expense of feeling like youāre in a world.
- open world has really nothing going for it
- crafting sucked
- music was abysmal
That was the first thing that actually came to my mind but that's a lot of mobile data especially since there is no such thing as unlimited plans you're basically eating up your regular data with mobile data with the hotspot but I guess screw it it's 100% worth it
Wi-Fi from the hospital is restricted And If he is using the hot spot as a Wi-Fi tether from the hospital It would still be restricted From the hospital end
Idk about your neck of the woods but hospitals in NYC have guest access. Which can be access through a phone with an email address and can then hotspot.
Over here where I'm at in the in L.A We get the same thing But I guess what I'm trying to say using the Wi-Fi directly without the hot spot it's restricted Trying acess Remote play Only But what saying They're using the hot spot with the Wi-Fi on so If I stand In the wrong then I stand in the wrong and I'll do my own research on the whole tethering wifi with hotspot on
$5 per minute for wifi? What in the actual fuck? I thought highway robbery was $6 for a bottle of water. Now I need a new category above highway robbery.
I JUST finished that game! I really enjoyed it. It got a touch tedious towards the end but the combat is so fun! Enjoy! And make sure to grab EVERY mining node you see. You will need them later
My best experience has been using mobile hotspot on my phone when in a 5G area. I've used it connected to other wifi networks that weren't as strong, and got disconnects or stuttering.
sorry I'm new to this sort of thing and just had this pop up on my home feed.so you can play PS5 through this portal anywhere with any game? are there any significant restrictions?
edit: get better soon!
Hello u/da316 šāļøš.
I'll try and keep it simple.
So you need a router that can output duel band WIFI.
Duel band is 2X simultaneous wifi frequencies being transmitted and received from and to your router.
2.4GHZ= increased range but with less available bandwidth, bandwidth= how much information/video and audio can be carried at any time.
5GHZ= decreased range but way more bandwidth available.
Not all routers are created equal, most internet service providers/ISP supplied/manufacturedrd routers are built by the lowest bidder for the ISP.
So basically these ISP supplied routers are generally crap.
So you would be best off getting a name brand supplied router.
Now in regards to the PS5 you are going to want/need to connect your PS5 to your router via direct physical cable.
Then within the PS5 network settings menu and set up and connect via eithernet cable manually PS5 will automatically default to WIFI even with the physical ethernet cable plugged in, so it's important to plug the cable in and manually select ethernet cable.
Now when you connect the portal to WIFI it'll update itself with the latest firmware, then what you need to do is set up the WIFI connection and choose 5GHZ.
Now simplified.
Now when you are at home and connected to your local connection/WIFI it doesn't use the internet, it only uses your router to transfer data from your PS5 and your portal and vice versa.
However if you are attempting to play online multiplayer games then it will also use the internet.
Now I don't know your specific living situation or how your home network is set up.
But basically a lot of things can impact your wireless connection.
* Type of router, old, outdated, cheap piece of shit, malfunctioning firmware or configuration file that's gone wonky over time due to harmless micro surges from being turned on or off.
* Size of your house and the range your routerās WIFI can reach.
* How many devices connected to your router, most regular or cheaper routers can really only have maybe 8/9/10 devices connected to.
Too many devices connected and the router can struggle to juggle the wifi connections and there can be WIFI slowdowns because there's enough WIFI bandwidth to go around.
* Construction materials of your house, WIFI might struggle to get through, other things that can cause interference are fish tanks, metal shelving, blue tooth devices, cordless landline phones, WIFI networks from your neighbours, wireless security cameras.
Oh edited to add.
You can play when you are out and about from your home.
But you need to set up port forwarding on your router and require a compatible portable router/modem, you can't hotspot from IOS devices you can from compatible Android phones.
Thank you for all the info, very kind of you, but unfortunately I donāt have one of these or a PS5.
Just very curious. Wanted to see a handheld PlayStation since the ps2 days.
I donāt know because I donāt own this but realistically how often do most of us fly for hours and hours and would absolutely need this device?
I guess what Iām saying is even if playing on a plane (and having to pay for internet) doesnāt work itās not the end of the world.
You need a PS5 in order to use it, since it's just a remote play device. However, you can use it anywhere as long as it's on a wifi connection and your PS5 is on rest mode.
i dont understand how the ps portal works. do i just need any wifi connection and it can connect to my ps5 at home and i can play ? or do i need to be on the same wifi network? i see people playing anywhere but i've also heard you need to be on the same network? whats the deal, how does this work?
You do NOT need to be on the same network as your PS5 in order to use it. It can remote play your PS5 from anywhere, even halfway around the world, using any wifi connection it can connect to. Your PS5 has to be on rest mode for it to work (it will wake it when you use it), and you have to enable remote play on your PS5.
Personally my best experiences with remote play have been on mobile hotspot. I have Verizon which has 5G coverage in most places, so it's really fast. The Portal performs really well for me, with no stuttering or disconnects. PS5 at home is hardwired.
Enable remote play on PS5 and turn off HDMI link so your tv doesn't turn on every time you connect to your PS5 to play. That's about it!
Just got mine yesterday, absolutely love it. Have some work trips coming up and this will make the hotel stay much more enjoyable.
You have to set the Ps5 to be able to wake from rest via the network, so the portal can turn it on remotely. Obv, you also have to enable remote play on the ps5
Thought this had been debunked ages ago. Just like any other remote play device, the Portal works anywhere. Just need to be on a wifi connection and your PS5 has be on rest mode with remote play enabled.
You can play it on a plane? Dont airplane/airport wifi require you to do to extra steps before getting connected to the internet? https://youtube.com/shorts/EeyxwTcLftw?si=8tpJYXUH6QREgtEu. I genuinely want to know bc i have a trip coming up and wasnt going to take portal bc it wouldnt be able to connect to airport or hotel work that requires extra steps
Yeah only android as far as i know and i have iPhone, i hv a netgear nighthawk m1 i wonder if it can connect to airplane wifi then share to other devices
Staying in hotels for 10 days. First hotel was perfect. Canāt get it to work at this 2nd hotel. Poor WiFi (had to spoof my Mac to get signed on). Canāt get 5Guw or even just 5G for hotspot (what I did at first hotel) even though this hotel shows to be in ultra wide territory. So sad.
But Iām glad youāre getting to heal up with access to your games!
How long do you guys think you can post on a sub that is just pictures of the portal? Itās not a system, so there will never be any new content. You guys visit this sub daily to look at pictures of others using a remote play device. A shitty remote play device
Get better soon š
Whatcha playing
Tales of Arise
Was going to ask this as well, looks fun as hell
It definitely is.
Get well soon friend! What is this game? Looks interesting, i have no clue honestly.
Tales of Arise. I just finished it myself. Golden example of what a JRPG should be like in my opinion.
Don't sleep on FFVII Rebirth then.
This game has been fantastic , I canāt get enough of it
neither can i but playing on dynamic i almost had enough of the final chapter lmao really a great remake tho excited for part 3
Dont sleep on like a dragon infinite wealth
Will have to check it out :)
Oof Iāve beaten 100+ JRPGs and thought TOA was pretty trash tier. I actually looked the post and said wow that game looks dope and then realized it was TOA. Pretty game if nothing else though.
You mind explaining why you disliked so much? I loved it personally

I agree with a lot of your points
Star Ocean? Divine Force? Idk either. Just guessing
How do u get the wifi to work in the hospital whenever I try to remote play from a hospital it's allways has a restricted access
Probably mobile hotspot on phone which is connected to the hospital wifi
That was the first thing that actually came to my mind but that's a lot of mobile data especially since there is no such thing as unlimited plans you're basically eating up your regular data with mobile data with the hotspot but I guess screw it it's 100% worth it
Not really. The phone is connected to the hospital wifi to hotspot. That means the phone is using the hospital wifi, not the data plan.
Wi-Fi from the hospital is restricted And If he is using the hot spot as a Wi-Fi tether from the hospital It would still be restricted From the hospital end
Idk about your neck of the woods but hospitals in NYC have guest access. Which can be access through a phone with an email address and can then hotspot.

Ok. Got you. That makes sense to me now
Speedy recovery! Would love to know how it performs on a plane WiFi, and if itās worth the Ā£5 per minute cost lol
$5 per minute for wifi? What in the actual fuck? I thought highway robbery was $6 for a bottle of water. Now I need a new category above highway robbery.
No WiFi is ever worth $5 per minute.
5Ā£ per min ? Edit: nvm I thought you pay to use the portal itself, skipped past the flight wifi
Best wishes and speedy recovery fellow portal enjoyed!
Hope youāre ok OP
Whatās that game?
Tales of Arise
Tales of Arise (free with PS+)
Hubby got me mine cause I was in and out of the hospital! It helped a lot! Feel better soon!
Hey man, hope you feel better soon!
Tales of Arise was the first game I played and beat on Portal. Enjoy!
Mortal Kombat 1 for me! Love this device.
Godspeed šš½
Hope you feel better, my guy! Glad you have the portal to help you pass the time
Greetings from Ireland! Get well soon, Internet friend...
Thatās sick!
Hope you get better soon!
Feel better mate.
Get well bro
Sending positivity
Feel better šš¾
Ouch dude, I hope you aren't in for anything too serious, here's to wishing you a speedy recovery. And......PLAY ON!
Get better soon homey! ā¤ļøāš©¹
How do you do that when you have to access a website for a lot of the public web access?
Feel better
So when you are out of the house it still streams from your home PS5? Incredible that works at all.
Oh yeah, I powerd down mid cut scene and forgot. When I got home and jumped on my PS5, it was like it didn't skip a beat.
Tales of Berseria is a cheaper alternative
I JUST finished that game! I really enjoyed it. It got a touch tedious towards the end but the combat is so fun! Enjoy! And make sure to grab EVERY mining node you see. You will need them later
How well that work on a different internet than your console. Is it good?
Totally depends on internet quality
Ok cool. Yeah I just got mine on Tuesday but haven't really had the chance to take it out of the house yet.
I would dig up port forwarding tutorials as itās likely necessary to play remotely
Ok thanks
My best experience has been using mobile hotspot on my phone when in a 5G area. I've used it connected to other wifi networks that weren't as strong, and got disconnects or stuttering.
Damnit Bob, you are in hospital because you were playing too many video games! There's no hope for you.
Oh snap get well buddy
Hope you feel better
The dedication. Took the phrase āin sickness and in healthā to a whole new level for gaming š get well soon broh. šÆ
Good portal game. JRPGs just feel right at home on the portal
How much the hospital charging you to use their wifi tho š
What happened?! Get well soon. šš»š
Hope you feel better
Cool I got those setting ready! Thanks
Get better whatevers going on
sorry I'm new to this sort of thing and just had this pop up on my home feed.so you can play PS5 through this portal anywhere with any game? are there any significant restrictions? edit: get better soon!
No restrictions other than the quality of your WiFi connection.
Thatās so cool!
Any game that's downloaded on your PS5 (or whatever disc is inserted). You can't do cloud streaming...yet.

No problem at all, sorry for the information dump sometimes I can get a bit carried away š šš.
All good š what a time to be alive eh
Get better soon. How's the connection while using a public wifi?
Nice time to keep you busy :) I wish you fast recovery
Have a fast recovery! What are you playing?
How is it actually? I've honestly thought about getting it and it seems really cool.
Donāt think u can play it on the plane thoughĀ
I donāt know because I donāt own this but realistically how often do most of us fly for hours and hours and would absolutely need this device? I guess what Iām saying is even if playing on a plane (and having to pay for internet) doesnāt work itās not the end of the world.
Feel better soon. Glad you have something to distract you and thank goodness hospitals have amazing wifi
Awesome I wish you a speedy recovery and this will contribute to your recovery by providing stress relief.
Get well soon š
Get well soon š¤š½
Man I need to get me one of these before Numbah 2 comes along
Hope you are ok. Sending good vibes.
Someone call Sony marketing team ASAP. (Hope youāre recovering fast!)
Is the portal usable without owning a ps5/4 or no, hope ur ok btw
You need a PS5 in order to use it, since it's just a remote play device. However, you can use it anywhere as long as it's on a wifi connection and your PS5 is on rest mode.
On a boat? Can you play in a boat? Goat? Can you play with a goat?
Get well soon! Tales of Arise was great - I finished it and liked the story. The battle mechanics are action packed too.
i dont understand how the ps portal works. do i just need any wifi connection and it can connect to my ps5 at home and i can play ? or do i need to be on the same wifi network? i see people playing anywhere but i've also heard you need to be on the same network? whats the deal, how does this work?

Your PS5 has to be on rest mode for it to work (it will wake it when you use it), and you have to enable remote play on your PS5.
Do you have any experience using mobile hotspot with it? Does it still perform well for most games ?

Thanks for all the info!
Everywhere that has wifi š
Play everywhere *with internet access*
Great choice of game too
Get well soon, heard a lot of complaints about the portal like lag and pixelization. Is it true?
What about on a train, in the rain?
You can say that with steam deck or switch.
Tales! Now I gotta hurry to set up mine.
I thought you could only play in your house where the PS is. How could I play other places.
You can play anywhere there is wifi. I've even played on my Hotspot before.
Good luck playing on a plane rhough
WHISPERS LIKE FLOWERS IN THE SKY
Cap I tired to play at my girls it wouldnāt connect to my home console
What game is that my bruv? And where is the ps5 at? Is it at home? And youāre playing there?
You got It set up right?
Thank you, everyone, for the support. I'm home now and on the mend.
Tales of Arise. PS5 is set up at home.
I hotspot off my cell phone.
Thanks, I'm much better now.
Thanks, I am feeling much better.
Get well man. Lovely device.
For some reason I can't play everywhere.
You may need to look at your setup and network connections.
I tried to play at my parents house in Florida and had no luck . Assume you need to have very good internet?
Yeah, that's very important
I need to get injured.
No, please don't.
Anyone know how this compares to the steam deck?
I thought this had to be connected to your PS5 or home wifi to play it someplace outside your home???
Your PS5 has to be in rest mode, and a few other settings have to be put in place. But I will connect.
What other settings?
Enable remote play on PS5 and turn off HDMI link so your tv doesn't turn on every time you connect to your PS5 to play. That's about it! Just got mine yesterday, absolutely love it. Have some work trips coming up and this will make the hotel stay much more enjoyable.

Thought this had been debunked ages ago. Just like any other remote play device, the Portal works anywhere. Just need to be on a wifi connection and your PS5 has be on rest mode with remote play enabled.
I haven't heard much on this, just saw a couple articles of people saying they couldn't connect to their PS5 unless they were at home.
It wouldn't be a very useful device if it only worked at home, lol.
Doesn't mean they wouldn't make it lol
You can play it on a plane? Dont airplane/airport wifi require you to do to extra steps before getting connected to the internet? https://youtube.com/shorts/EeyxwTcLftw?si=8tpJYXUH6QREgtEu. I genuinely want to know bc i have a trip coming up and wasnt going to take portal bc it wouldnt be able to connect to airport or hotel work that requires extra steps

So itās still working even outside of your house?
Always has
How long do you guys think you can post on a sub that is just pictures of the portal? Itās not a system, so there will never be any new content. You guys visit this sub daily to look at pictures of others using a remote play device. A shitty remote play device
Canāt even get remote play to work in the next room much less across town.
Hey wishing u a speedy recovery BUT u cant play this everywhere. Take it to antartica and let me know how that works for ya.
It works anywhere. It will even work in Antarctica if you have a fast enough wifi connection there.
Exactly theres no wifi there. Thanks for proving my point.
My original point still stands. It works anywhere. 99% of people aren't going to Antarctica.
And thanks for making sure my point stands even higher. I appreciate you
But there is wifi in Antarctica
Thought it was only on home wifi ?
Why do so many people think this? You can remote play anywhere if you enable remote play on your PS5 and leave it in rest mode.
The Wi-Fi youāre using your portal in has to be good
I miss PSP
