June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed 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 .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

The Impossible Game (PSN) Review

Now, this is gaming, just a boy and his cube against a spiky nasty world. No score, progress bar or frivolous rewards to accumulate, just the need to jump and keep jumping at precisely the right moment. When playing the game properly, all you do is jump, jump and jump some more.

In practice mode, you can drop flags as restart points to help you master the level, and can progress to later levels in this manner, but you know you won't have done it properly until you can do it without stabilisers. All the while fighting the sole statistic in the game, the number of attempts that your feeble reactions have taken so far.


Taking on and beating the Impossible Game is actually possible, there are videos of folk doing it on YouTube, and there are a few stamina-testing rewards to collect, but really this is all about removing all the fluff from a video game and giving the player a pure and simple objective.

Slick, neatly sound-tracked and great fun in short doses, prepare to have your reactions and short-term memory tested to the maximum.



Available on PSN for £1.74 [Grip Games]
7/10 Purist gaming that couldn't be any more so if it'd dripped through the Evian source.
