July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

Vertigo Creeping Up on PSP

Vertigo (which looks like an update on an early PSP title called Spinout) is a new PSN game, out now, for the PSP from Icon Games, it looks a little bit Marble Madness, a little bit Zorb racing, where you basically roll a ball down the course, dodging hazards and trying to keep your speed up.



Vertigo looks perfect for a machine with tilt controls, so hopefully the developers will be able to tweak it for the NGP, using the tilt controls to drive the ball while moulding the landscape or doing other cool stuff with the rear pad.


Players can change the specs of their ball for added control. There is plenty of variety in the scenery with outer space, cities and country backdrops to your races. Hopefully, the controls will be tight enough to make this fun rather than annoying (GripShift was a game that got the balance almost right).


It offers some 54 levels, upgrades, pick-ups, multiplayer and other rewards. Let's just hope the game offers enough core variety to keep us entertained.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
