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...

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.

Hopefully other publishers will keep going a while longer via Japanese production lines, as long as there are worthwhile sales figures and a few curios to dig up. Personally, looking forward to the Damascus Gear games that I've never really got into before.


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.
