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...

Tokyo Games Show Opens to Public, Vita Star of the Show

With 80 demo machines for people to play with, it shouldn't be too long before the queue starts building again, but its going to be a long time before keen fans get to have a go on the new system. With all the major game announcements done, it looks like Vita will be the star of the show be some distance.

And, those that did get in got to play some of the cracking titles on show, note try them in 720 if possible, fullscreen - awesome:





Just found a Japanese site that has bunch more off-screen videos, easier than me coping them all here.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
