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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Japan gets a free-to-play RPG from Tri-Ace, Judas Code

Tri-Ace, the folks behind the Star Ocean series and busy make Phantasy Star Nova with Sega, are bringing a new RPG card battler to the Vita, Judas Code, for Japan. A free-to-play effort, set during World War III which was triggered by a 2001: Space Odyssey-like Pillar, Longinus,  that has desolated our world.

That sounds pretty harsh, and survival is now the aim of the game, with Judas Code offering both single exploration and MP card-battle action.  Very light on details so far, and no stories off the Japanese sites, but a summer release is mentioned, making this pretty much a near-finished project, so expect lots of imagery and videos to follow.

Hopefully it'll stray outside the usual free-to-play fodder and offer something a little more in-depth and distinct.

UPDATE: Pics has turned up on the Japanese sites and it looks pretty damn hot... a cover based shooter action game that looks just a little bit Third Birthday (to me).
