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.

Borderlands 2, where are the reviews?

  • May 23 UK release
Now, while the "preview" shows off two-player online and other features, I'm starting to wonder where the reviews are? Is there some mad embargo in place? Given the Vita needs all the coverage it can get and some pre-launch hype for its biggest bundle is kind of essential.


If there aren't any, then I think we can assume that developer Iron Galaxy have done the best they can and it now ships out to the mercy of the horde. Given that the poor Call of Duty Declassified developers had just a few months to turn something around, it has to be a lot better than that, but is the ambition of cramming the PS3 experience on to the Vita too ambitious? We'll see. Good luck buyers and see you on the other side!
