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 ...

MechRunner back on the radar?

Okay, this is odd. After two years of no tweeting, no Kickstarter updates since last August, I'd assumed Spark Plug Games had gone the way of the truth, taking a Vita version of metallic shooter MechRunner with it. So much so, I even peeled off the MechRunner skin from my Vita!

UPDATE: PS4 codes are going out now, The PS Vita version is still in the works, news to follow.


However, all is not lost, the developers just posted an update, that the PS4 version has been approved by Sony. Really guys, the radio silence has not helped your cause! Will there be a Vita version to follow, or has that been dropped, as is often the fashion. The $28K they raised in 2014 must all have gone, so any progress is likely being done around other jobs.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
