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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point. Certainly, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than a distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 ...

Last Limited Run games revealed for Vita

DrinkBox Studio's Guacamelee and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack are the first of the final wave of Vita games from Limited Run, both launching Friday, June 14th. Also on the way are:

Pix the Cat (review) - 21 June
Super Mutant Alien Assault (review) - 5 July 
Atari Flashback Classics - July
Metal Slug 3 (review) - 12 July
Damascus Gear Operation Osaka and Damascus Gear Operation Tokyo - 2019
Deadbolt (review) - 2019
Revenant Dogma (trailer) 2019
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken and Rocketbirds 2: Evolution - 2019
Super Meat Boy - 2019
Papers Please - 2020

Not a bad collection, but no word on production run yet. Good luck if you can afford them all or are fortunate enough to beat the queues over the remaining months of Vita life and a great way for Limited Run to sign off having helped make the Vita such a collectible in the first place. Thanks to them, Josh Fairhurst and crew for supporting all the developers, and good luck if you want to pick these up.

Here's the full Limited Run presentation with all the Vita stuff neatly at the front, plus plenty of Star Wars games and a healthy future in Switch and PS4 titles.
