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...

Wrapping up June for the PS Vita

E3 came and went with a whimper rather than a bang, but Sony acknowledged the blunder and good things beckon for GamesCom.

Largely on the basis of the wonderful Gravity Daze in the West, offering a fantastic world to inhabit and explore and a game that doesn't rely on endless killing! And Persona in Japan which gave the Vita a much-needed lift.



Good things came in small packages too, with the excellent PulzAR proving that augmented reality games can be both good and fun to play. The YouTube app was also a much-welcome addition to the Vita's slowly growing range of apps. And Vita-based joy doesn't need to be expensive with the excellent PSV/PSP/minis sale offering near-endless amounts of entertainment for fantastic prices. I've picked up Trails in the Sky and God of War: Ghost of Sparta so far.

Finally, there's the oddball moments in life that you can't help but laugh at, this month brought to you by these rather mad Orgaryhthm trailers.

What were your personal favourite gaming moments in June?
