Last month's PlayStation Showcase appears to have left most people pretty disappo♎inted. I'm still torn on whether that's warranted or, as has become the case with each 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Direct, ꦏpeople simply expected too much. Either way, when the screen faded to black, I may well have been one of the few people who watched from start to finish that was actually pretty pleased.
I was happy with what 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation showed off for a few reasons. I'm a mildly obsessive Marvel fan so 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Spider-Man 2 stuff could have been that same tღrailer we were shown almost two years ago with a vague release date at the end, and I'd have been happy. Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration. Like many of you, when that jungle scene was playing out, I wondered where my Spidey content was. Add another look at The Plucky Squire and a chance to play the first three 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metal Gear Solid games on PS5, a series that has previously evaded me, there wa𓄧s enough there to leave me satisfied.
However, the part of the Showcase I enjoyed most appears to be the one that has either angered or amused the rest of you. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Project Q. A handheld d🍸evice that will let you play PS5 games over Wi-Fi without having to bring your TV into the equation. I was so excited at the prospect of not needing access to the TV to play PS5 games that I immediately sent that clip of Jim Ryan talking about it to my partner▨.
Much to my surprise, when I fired up Twitter to see what everyone thought about the Showcase, I discovered 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:half of you hate Project Q while the other half were busy making memes about it. From an inability to use it outside the house to its design being likened to something Link might make using ultrahand (okay, that's funny, I'll give you that one), no one seemed to be happy about Project Q other than me.
Some of the biggest critiques centered around it not being a viable competitor to the Switch or the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Steam Deck, and bemoaning that it isn't the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PS Vita 2. The Vita was outsold by the Wii U by the way, so those of you waiting for a sequel might want to dial back your expectations. As for competing with the Switch, that isn't what this is. If PlayStation is ever bold enough to try and do that, I can't imagine its big reveal will be a short clip wedged between 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:trailers for Dragon's Dogma 2 and Marathon.
I'm assuming most of that critique is coming from people who don't have others to fight against for TV time. Whether that be because you have the luxury of having your TV all to yourself, or the even bigger luxury of multiple TVs and consoles dotted around the house. I have neither of those luxuries. If my partner is playing Fortnite or my son 🎉is watching Bluey, the TV in my house, 💜along with the PS5, is otherwise occupied.
That leaves me with the Switch. Not a bad thing by any means, but at least half the time, and no offense to Nintendo but probably a little more than half actually, I want to play my PS5. Also, not that I'm rushing through games (although have you seen the release slate lately? I probably should be), but I'd have finished games like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:God Of War Ragnarok and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Jedi: Survivor a lot faster if I had the opportunity♏ to play theౠm using a handheld device when the TV was being used for something else.
Project Q's battery life also isn't a problem for me. Rumored to be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:as little as three hours before it needs to be charged, if it can't be used outside the house, I don't really understand why that's a sticking point for anyone. Unless you plan on wandering around the house while you play - a little weird, but if that's how you game, you do you - then even a device that needs to be plugged in when used shouldn't be a problem. It doesn't work unless you have Wi-Fi and you're near your PS5, so why does it need a long battery life?
The hate for how it looks has confused me a little too. Again, if this was PlayStation's answer to the Switch, splitting a DualSense in half and popping a screen in the middle wouldn't cut it. It would be cumbersome to travel with and if you were playing it like the sad guy on t✤he bus in that Tears of the Kingdom ad then yeah, you might look a little strange. Havi🔯ng shared buses with some rather vocal passengers in the past, I can imagine using a Project Q in front of them would just lead to them saying things that make me even sadder.
Since I'll only be playing it at home, I want Project Q to feel as close to playing an actual PS5 as possible. What better way to replicate that feeling than putting an actual, albeit stretched, DualSense in your hands? It even has all the features that make the DualSense one of the best controllers ever made. I'm actually quite excited to play games like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Astro's Playroom and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rift Apart again using it, still the two games to have made the best use of the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, in my opinion.
Despite Project Q potentially making my life a lot easier, there are a couple of things that may well stop me picking one up right away. Firstly, the price. There have already been complaints about the price which is strange as it hasn't been revealed yet. That being said, I get it. This is an official PlayStation product that probably cost a lot to make. I've convinced myself Project Q will retail at around £200. That's probably the most I would be willing to pay, and unfortunately, I would be very surprised if it doesn't cost more than that.
The other potential hang-up I have is a bigger dealbreaker than the price. Whether I can use my Project Q while someone else is using the PS5 and the TV to watch or play something else. If I can't play 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Spider-Man 2 on Project Q while my son watches Disney Plus on the actual PS5, then that kind of defeats the object of me owning one. Howeve💦r, if you can stream games while the PS5 is being used for something else, and it costs less than &poওund;200, I will definitely be picking one up.
