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...

SAO Hollow Realization splits for a western release

Bandai Namco so owns the Vita, in fact I'm going to replace the Sony logo with Bandai's on the blog logo (when I get a second). The latest translation is Sword Art Online Hollow Realization, announced today and bringing the latest SAO team monster battling and RPG to the west.

All of which means Bandai has pretty half of the biggest Vita western releases next year, with SAO, God Eater(s), Gundam(s) and more. Tecmo's Attack on Titan, Square's World of Final Fantasy and Falcom's Tokyo Xanadu will make it a great year if you love your Japanese games.


Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization takes place in one of the stages set within the original Sword Art Online. Taking on the role of Kirito, players enter a new VRMMORPG world called “Sword Art Origin”, which was created on the game’s original sever, giving players flashbacks of memories from past events. Players will enter the early period within the “Sword Art Origin” world and must find a way to win the game one more time.
