PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Gamescom hints start to trickle out

Expect this to grow as the days roll by to the big European games show, but right now we have a couple of hints of new things to come from Gamescom. Latest updates are going at the top.

 Sony is now (Tuesday) teasing something with a video of snowflakes becoming blooded and the hashtag #PlayStationGC. A non too subtle hint suggests it could be a PS4/PS3 and Vita title, but what? At about the five second mark are some numbers or letters behind the ice, but well concealed, I think. (UPDATE: Concensus overnight is that the teaser is for Until Dawn.) 



Friday 1 August - Possibly for the Vita, Just Add Water (Oddworld, Gravity Crash Ultra) are first up with a hint of ... "Oh and one last thing, look out for an announcement during GamesCom."

Square Enix may be showing off some new HD games, which could mean either more HD remasters (maybe for Vita), or new games for the big consoles. Guess we'll have to see on that one.  

Like I said, probably more to come on this list as people start yammering. Outside of the Vitasphere, Bioware is teasing something all-new with a nasty trailer.
