June 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 .  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. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

What Vita games will play best on PlayStation TV?

That's a fun question to conjure with as I try and think how something will look blown up from a small OLED screen to a whacking great 32" or 40" plus screen thanks to PlayStation TV. The current leader of the pack has to be Killzone Mercenary with the improved scale making it easier to spot and aim at distant Helghast troopers.

A recent patch for the game adds improved DualShock controls and, as with most shooters, it really deserves the big-screen experience. In fact, I'm shocked Sony hasn't done a HD version as happened with a few Vita games (Assassin's Creed) to get it on PS4. Obviously, PS4 owners can scoff at my list and move on.

So, apart from the Vita's only major shooter, what else should look great moving on up from the small to the big screen? Interestingly almost every game I own on cart is currently incompatible, hmm! That minor detail aside, here's my little list, feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments:

  • Ridge Racer: Shallow, yes, but it does look gorgeous
  • Toukiden: Has the detail that most other monster hunters lack
  • Akiba's Trip: The world of Akiba deserves a peek on the big screen
  • Demon Gaze: Really want to see those dungeons on a big platform

And that's your lot really! Wonder if you really need to own a PS4 to get the most from the PlayStation TV, or have an immense interest in PSP and PSOne games.
