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...

Vita saved: New games confirmed at PlayStation Experience

Perhaps not completely saved, in fact still tucked away in Sony's so-last-year box but hey - the Vita gets a big game for 2015. At first I thought they said that Atlus will bring the PS4 and PS3 title Persona 5 west along with a Vita version, (UPDATE: Or not, guess i misheard still there was lots of other stuff coming!) based on the back of the success of Persona 4 Golden.

Of course, that's not to say Persona 5 Portable isn't in the works! However, we do (finally) get Resident Evil 2 Revelations (having been mis-announced and rumoured a few times) to the Vita via Capcom and Sony Third Party Studios. Plus an almost inevitable MLB 15 The Show.

Additional games coming for Vita include Geometry Wars 3, Transistor (I think, these guys really need to stick labels on everything) and the rather cute Xbox adventure Bastion. With some six million viewers tuning into watch the keynote speech, plus thousands more at the Las Vegas show, it was a lively old keynote bash.

UPDATE: EA is giving away Need for Speed on the Vita on PSN this weekend, not sure if that's US only but will check.

UPDATE: Shovel Knight, best indie game of the year, confirmed for Vita in 2015. Also coming is an all-new game, Severed from Drinkbox.

UPDATE: Gio Corsi announced Suidoken I and II coming to PS Vita (as in the PS One titles), Towerfall Ascension, with expansion pack DarkWorld plus Super Time Force Ultra (pictured), and strategy RPG The Banner Saga.

To go along with Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle will also be coming to PS4 and Vita.
