PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

What Was Missing on Vita at E3? The Games We Still Want

As mentioned earlier, there are several other shows this year where so-far unveiled Vita games will break cover, so what was missing from the line up shown so far?

Well the most obvious candidate is a Gran Turismo game for Vita. Just upscaling the PSP's four-car-on-the-track version really won't cut it. That's begging for a Tokyo Game Show release, as is the PSP's biggest title Monster Hunter.

Also missing, for a while now, has been Syphon Filter, which had a nice little niche on the PSP and were probably the best sneaky shooters until Peace Walker turned up. Resistance is also missing from the list, although the upscaled PSP Retribution game should fill in the gap until a proper title emerges. Other favourites on the PSP were the Ratchet and Clank games, Ace Combat and Grand Theft Auto, surely there will be some news on them soon.

Finally there's the games that were never going to make it to PSP, how about the Half Life or Portal series getting a run out on the Vita. Could Rockstar manage to bundle Red Dead Redemption in there or how about a Fable game from Lionhead? Elder Scrolls was cancelled on PSP, so an NGP version by way of apology would be appreciated and lastly, the biggest cat in the house, surely a proper Modern Warfare game can be crammed into the Vita's carts.
