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.

Grand Knights History - Something Big for PSP

Marvelous and Vanillaware are planning something big for the PSP, judging by the splash made on the Japanese sites with the announcement of Grand Knights History. A turn-based, party role-playing game, it is due out in the summer.

There doesn't appear to be a website or screens available yet, but if Vanillaware is behind it then expect it to look beautiful. Maybe, maybe if we all pray very hard, and are extra-good, it could get a western release.

Also from Famitsu is confirmation of a remake of Oreshika, a PSone remake. Plus, a new game from Atlas and Sting, Gloria Union, an update on Yggdra Union the tactical rpg battle game. Basically, if you love JPRGs, its Christmas come early.
