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...

Spike bringing CONCEPTION: Please Have My Babies to western PSPs

Okay, that's obviously the Japanese name for this dungeon crawler (which is released in Japan today), and it will be getting a new one for the western audience. Despite the gynaecological references, the game is all about a high school student who was taken to a parallel universe called Granvania.

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.
