Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

More PSP games for Japan, Accel World, Strike Witches and more Legend of Heroes

UPDATE:  There's a host of new PSP games been announced recently including Hunter x Hunter, more details on the new DigiMon, Sol Trigger from Imageepoch and a new Unchained Blades. Start badgering the usual suspects for English versions now.

With every gamer and his Feylene having a PSP in Japan, the games keep on rolling out with a bunch of new titles announced recently. First up is Namco's Accel World (also for PS3) based on the recent anime/manga. where kids escape into the virtual world to avoid the stresses of real life (like that'll ever happen!).

All that has been announced so far is that it will be a combat strategy game, the gimmick in the Accel World being that "a power called Brain Burst that allows a person to make time appear to stand still in their surroundings by "accelerating" their brainwaves in the real world. Unfortunately, there is a limit to how many times a person can accelerate which uses Brain Burst points and the only way to get more points is to fight other Brain Burst users in a Fighting game and defeat them."

Next up, is Strike Witches from Cyberfront, a good old-fashioned side scrolling shooter with  heroic ladies doing battle in mid-air against a range of monstrous machines and waves of small enemies. Looks pretty tame by bullet hell standards, but we'll see. 


Andriasang also has some news on the next Legend of Heroes game, but there are now so many of those coming out on PSP and Vita, that I'll let you read their story and get confused for yourself, rather than me making things worse.
