July Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6.

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.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
