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...

First Toukiden 2 footage to air on Sunday

Check back on Sunday for a live stream, when Tecmo will show off the latest batch of heroic voice acting talent. It will also unveil the first Vita footage from the demo of Toukiden 2 to the world. At least it is on YouTube and not the crappy NicoNico!

Famitsu has the art/renders and photos of the characters and their voice artists.

UPDATE: Okay, so the video was only shown in 360p and its the usual gurning, grinning idiots on presentation duties, but somewhere in the 90-minute show is some Vita footage of the game (around the 1 hour 10 minute mark I'm guessing). Basically impossible to categorically tell how good or bad it is until we get better quality, but slow and chugging were the first two words that came to mind.

Further update: Most fans seem to think the move to open world has killed the Vita version. With an end of June release data, Tecmo has little chance to improve the Vita performance, with feeble draw distance just one concern. What do you think?
