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 ...

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.

Teasingly, Andria Sang reports that the game will cater for "infinite players," which could involve some sort of off-screen server mode, although it can support one to four players in regular multiplayer.

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.
