July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

Tales of Hearts R gets a western Vita release

Anyone have any idea what Namco's Vita strategy is? No Tales of Innocence R western release, but its Japanese remake of the DS title (announced over there back in 2012) is. Really seems pretty screwy, but what do we gamers know as ToH R comes west? UPDATE: here's the first trailer, looks like a DS game doesn't it!

Yes, Innocence R was also a DS remake, but releasing them this sporadically and out of sequence seems rather barmy, and scattershot. Perhaps if this does well, we'll get some Innocence. The game is due out by the end of the year, so its not like they're rushing this.

Tales of Innocence R sold around 70,000 on launch in Japan, Tales of Hearts R managed 55,000 in its first week. With Tales of the World heading to 3DS and with the series' almost random release history over nearly 20 years, perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised, but an all-new title would be welcome.
