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 ...

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.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
