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...

What's STILL missing from the PS Vita line-up

Every time Sony has a get together, a few more PS Vita games are added to the line-up, but there is still a bunch of stuff missing. I won't even start on the sick joke that would be Gran Turismo Portable 2  but there are a few serious omissions.

First up, where's Sonic? There were a few suggestions that Sonic Generations was coming to the Vita, but you would think it would have been announced by now. Also, with the new Ace Combat ripping up the skies on PS3 and Xbox, you'd think that they could manage to cram a version into the Vita without too much trouble. Both series got some PSP love, so you'd hope news won't be too long in coming out.

In a similar bracket, but very far apart on the handheld scene are GTA and Saint's Row. The PSP (and even phones) got some GTA respect, but Saint's Row has been firmly on the big screen. With the Vita's power is GTA V a step too far, or how about a Saint's Row Remix bringing the best of the series to the Vita?

I'm pretty sure any unannounced sports games will migrate over in the goodness of time but I'd also expect to see the new SSX game and other extreme sports games making some moves on the Vita. What else is missing from the roster, or would make a good classic comeback from the history of gaming? Let us know.
