PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

World of Final Fantasy is our big Vita game for 2016

Square giveth, and Square taketh away.

Actually, I already had it on the release list, so I guess this is just confirmation.

No word on physical or digital form, or on a Limited Edition Vita to help actually sell the format, but hey - its our big name game for the year! Along with God Eater(s), Steins Gate 0 and many more!



While there's still no good reason we shouldn't get the FFXIIHD port, when it comes to Setsuna, Square's Daniel Sato put up a reasoned response on the PSN blog post:
We listen to all feedback but we’re not always able to act on it. Tokyo RPG Factory are a small team and it takes a lot of work (and money) to release a game on any format and we have to work out which formats are feasible on a case by case basis. As a company it’s not like we’re ignoring the Vita (we have both Dragon Quest Builders and World of Final Fantasy coming on Vita) but unfortunately we can’t always release all of our games on all platforms.

However, with a growing generation of gamers time poor and not able to access the big screen, it looks like the Vita is belatedly becoming the choice of device for many, something for Sony to ponder!
