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 ...

Sword-swinging AeternoBlade dated for February

Developed in Thailand by Corecell, AeternoBlade is a classic side-scrolling fighting game for the Vita. Originally a 3DS title, it has been visually tweaked, upscaled, had shadows added, booted up to 60fps, given a lick of paint and generally tarted up.


A 2D scroller, the game has a bit of PS one feel to it, which is fine and focuses on Freyja, a heroine forced into battle against the villainous Beladim, using the power of her time-warping sword to avoid nasty issues like death (but not taxes, I guess). The Vita version also gets some extra costume DLC, and there's a range of exotic characters across the game.


AeternoBlade will be released in PlayStation Store in the US on 10th February and in the EU on 4th February 2015.
