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...

Hands on with "Where is my Heart?"

Not got the time to review this new PSN mini for PSP and PS3 just yet, so consider this a quick hands-on to say how madly enticing it is. The Danish developed game throws three funny little critters together, slightly reminiscent of that quirky pair in the Spectrum game Head over Heels.



 They have to work together to collect the hearts on each level to feed their tree. The trouble is, these levels aren't just any levels, each one is broken up into comic-book pane windows, but then shuffled out of order. So stepping from the bottom left pane could see you appear in the top middle one, plummeting to your doom in the process.


Working out the order of the panes isn't too tough, but figuring out how to catch the hearts is, in some levels your creatures can stack up to reach them or transform into other animals with particular powers, including the ability to shuffle the panes around.


Figuring all this out is maddeningly fun, but the game's eight bit-aesthetic, gentle charm and subtle tones keep you from getting too wound up. Hopefully the challenge will continue to vary and bring up new ways to play in the later levels.
