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. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Xenoraid swarming the Vita in early January

Finnish developers 10tons continue to bring the games with  Xenoraid hitting the Vita, hot on the heels of the awesome Neon Chrome. The latest shooter from the team arrives on January 10th for America and 11th for Europe for $9.99 (likely £7.99) but will be free as Cross Buy if you already own the PS4 version

Xenoraid’s gameplay is accessible to all with procedural missions, real time fighter switching to keep things fresh and an additional Hard Mode and three survival levels with online leaderboards for replayability. It looks like the Vita version is single player only, but still should be bags of fun.

UPDATE: The game should be pretty identical to other versions, the developers state "Technically speaking there are less dust layers in the background on the Vita version, and I believe we switched the inactive area blur effect when navigating menus to a much lighter fade effect."

 Features:
  • Experience dynamic shoot'em up action with no level memorization 
  • Switch between four fighters in the heat of combat 
  • Manage your squadron with weapon and tech upgrades 
  • Master advanced shooting mechanics like fighter tilting and weapon heat 
  • Fight through a Campaign mode with more than 40 missions and four boss fights 
  • Compete in three endless Survival stages with online leaderboards
