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 ...

Sony's Gamescom Vita titles unveiled

German site PlayFront seems to have got its hands on an invite to Sony's press event at Gamescom next month, and it mentions several Vita titles in the list, plus two new unannounced games.

- Call of Duty: Declassified (PS Vita)
- Soul Sacrifice (PS Vita)
- Dust 514 app (PS Vita)
- LittleBigPlanet (PS Vita)
- PlayStation AllStars: Battle Royale (PS3 + PS Vita)
- Assassin's Creed 3 (PS3 and PS Vita)
- The Unfinished Swan (PS3)
- The Last of Us (PS3)
- Wonder Book: A Book of Spells (PS3)

With Capcom also promising big things at the event, could the middle of August be the time when the Vita really gets going? Of course, PlayFront could just be making an educated guess, there's no photo of the invite, but I'd buy into this. Killzone has been shown off, but not seen beyond the Vita's launch so could be one title. The other is anyone's guess.
