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 ...

Demon Gaze is a global hit, Demon Gaze 2 on the way

While 200,000 sales is a drop in the ocean for the major console games, for a little JRPG practically unknown outside of its home country, that sounds like a decent achievement. Experience/Kadokawa's Demon Gaze has passed that mark according to a tweet from Experience's Game Director.
Oh yeah it seems to have exceeded 200,000 ... Demongeizu! (° Д °) soooo!
It sold around 50,000 before vanishing from the Japanese chart, but the recent Global Edition with all content and extras has probably sparked more interest. Certainly the maps pages I posted, are very popular search hits, and its very easy to recommend a game that's a simple joy to play with a fun story and characters, and some proper RPGing to dive into.

That also suggests that the other games from the same teams, Tokyo New World Record: Operation Abyss and Labyrinth Cross Blood Infinity Ultimate, despite the stretchy names, will stand a good chance of getting a release over here.

Update: Perhaps not surprisingly, this success has seen Experience scuttling back to their dungeon design boards, with a sequel arriving in 2015 all but confirmed. Get ready for more demonic squinting and old school dungeoning.
