Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

A Pre-NGP Game - Spot the Devs and Figure Out the Games

So, all the middleware/developement tool people have duly trotted out their press releases saying they support NGP. They also say that "many developers are already working on games"

For example, Epic's Mark Rein drooled; "NGP raises the bar for the performance of handheld platforms with its multi-core GPU and shader-based, multi-core CPU. This makes Unreal Engine 3 a particularly advantageous fit for NGP. Furthermore, multiple UE3 licensees are already working with NGP, some of which have indicated they intend to release their games for the platform’s launch."

So, our mission now is (and feel free to play along at home)

1. Find the list of signed up developers for each game creation product. (List here)
2. Scan the developer's site for:
  • Existing titles that they are still working on,
  • Job hires for NGP,
  • Unannounced projects,
  • Teasers and other info.
3. Report back
4. Make big-ass list

Okay, you can go to EA or Ubi's site and pick a big list of games, but really we're after the new IP titles, or new games that use NGP's tech in fun ways. The info is out there, we just have to find it. If you're really obsessive then LinkedIn, games developer forums and other dev-centric places are good spots to lurk.
