Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

Will Fox Engine make for scalable cross-gen Metal Gear games?

Everyone present went "ooh" and "aah" at the Metal Gear 25th anniversary event, as Hideo Kojima showed off the Fox Engine-powered Metal Gear Ground Zeroes. No shots have leaked out of worth, but the likelihood is that Fox Engine can power both this and next generation games, much like Square's Luminous Engine, the new Unreal Engine 4 and so on.


That scalability should also enable future games developed on it to hit the Vita, and there's every reason to think that Kojima's next-gen babies will head our way, as he has put so much into the PSP and Vita so far. It is a shame that Revengeance can't make it across, but that non-Konami engine is clearly less scalable, doing things the Vita can't hope to pull off.
