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.

Darius Burst heads west, single player only on Vita


Taito's Darius Burst series was relaunched in Japan recently and the new Chronicle Saviours title has been confirmed as heading west. There's a new story that borrows hundreds of stages covering the series' history, with nine playable ships to choose from including classic Silver Hawk variants, a new CS-exclusive ship, and game play-changing Burst modes.



To keep things interesting for those stuck on one of the super-widescreen levels, there's branching stages where you choose your own path and challenge level. At the end of the key levels are 40-odd enormous, robotic sea-monster battleships with new CS-exclusive bosses.

Add in a Zuntata soundtrack, plus Cross Save with the PS4 version and it should be a welcome addition to the Vita's decent shooter roster. There's no Cross Play as the Vita version is single player only, check out the western site for more info.
