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...

F1 2011 producer discusses Vita features

Over on Pocket Gamer, they have a pretty detailed discussion with producer Dean Scott about the PS Vita's first serious racing game, he seems to confirm it just looks better in action, rather than the screenshots and direct video that looks so murky, and that seems to be confirmed by the off-screen footage.

 So, perhaps this might be a game to go for, especially with the pre-season testing just kicking off and those horrible-nosed new cars kicking around, not sure I'd go for the F1 2012 edition.
