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.

Ridge Racer Vita is cheap thanks to DLC

Ridge Racer will come at a bargain price for the Vita's launch, as the title only comes with three tracks (which can be run in reverse) and five cars. The rest of the content will be available as downloads (and I'm guessing most of it won't be free).


That's perhaps understandable in part, as it helps the publisher get around the second-hand games plague but will still likely annoy some gamers. It also explains why the game needs a memory card to play, although it does look gorgeous as a new batch of screens show.


Another slight downer is that Namco has confirmed the game runs at 30fps, not 60 - but that's hardly going to make a real difference, with the gorgeous AMOLED display showing off these great night scenes.
