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...

F1 2011 to be EU Vita Launch Game

The good news is that Codemasters has confirmed that the Vita version will be mingling on the shelves with the other launch games. The bad news is that, despite the new video, it still looks a bit crappy, even in 720p.

Clearly F1 is a high-end game that pushes the Xbox and PS3 pretty hard, and the Vita is all new and shiny, so there will be some trade-off. And, to be fair, Sumo Digital hasn't let us down in the past, and there's time to get things right but this is one of the few Vita games that has a question mark over it
