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.

Spike bringing CONCEPTION: Please Have My Babies to western PSPs

UPDATE: You can download the PSP demo (in Japanese, obviously) for Conception from our friends over at PSPDemoCenter.



Granvania was facing a crisis, invaded by Kegare (demonic creatures) who arose from the disorder of the stars. The player will be treated as Marebito or messiah in Granvania. The adventure to save the world and to get back to the usual world begins. There's a whole lot of sub text and plots here with Kegare and Marebito star children (hence the Conception title), various gods and many labyrinthine levels to fight through.


A western release date is TBC, but you'd imagine Spike would want it out pretty quickly while there's still a PSP market left over here.
