| Dulfite said: I don't get the rumors about PS handheld being able to play PS5 level games. Unless the device is like 3-4 years away from release, it would be insanely expensive to cram that much power into a handheld. Who is going to buy a $700+ handheld device? That's too expensive for the typical handheld gamer. |
It doesn't have to have the specs of PS5 itself to play PS5 games, games are highly scalable these days. They only need AMD hardware for compatibility purposes and specs high enough to play games that run at say 1440-1800p on PS5 at 720p or so on the handheld (or even 540p and then use AMD's FSR to improve the look of the resolution), and then devs will be able to port PS5 games to the handheld with minimal effort (full PS4 back compat should be achievable as well as long as the specs are high enough, Series S for instance has full Xbox One BC minus the graphics improvements of Xbox One X).
The specs necessary to pull that off should be doable within a year or two most likely for the same $400 that Switch 2 is rumored to be launching at later this year.
