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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Hakuoki for PSP packs in the mature themes

The ESRB rating for this new Aksys title lists "blood, drug reference, strong language, suggestive themes and violence" among its selling points. Seems a little strong for what is supposed to be a otome-targeted game (i.e., one for the ladies).



Still, Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom to give it its full name is a story-heavy affair from Idea Factory with the full dose of romance, lots of boys to chat up, violence and plot-twists. Its brave of Aksys to bring one of these games west and will be interesting to see how it does given their huge popularity in Japan.
