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 ...

Tekken X Street Fighter still in development

Way down at the bottom of my release list sits Tekken X Street Fighter, a game up there with Half Life 3 in vapourware terms. However, the game is still a goer according to producer Katsuhiro Harada, with next-gen platforms a target and some sort of surprise feature promised for gamers in the latest Famitsu.


If the Vita is still on the platform list is one question that isn't answered, but given Bandai Namco's support for the handheld, there's still a degree of hope, if not confidence.

With all the other big hitting brawlers on the market, the time is probably ripe for another crossover, but reading between the translated lines, I suspect a 2017 launch would put this out of the Vita's range.
