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...

Confirmed: Panopticon is "Freedom Wars" for the Vita, new video!

While some commenters seem to think that multiplayer now must always mean "Monster Hunter," this game is classed as a "recovery" game which most likely means the focus is on rescuing people, with a healthy dose of monster bashing thrown in, no doubt.


While the trailer was announced in Japan, Sony Europe has a trademark for Freedom Wars, so expect the game to appear in Europe, eventually.
