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...

UK store site leaks GTA, Monster Hunter, Innocence R and Type-0 HD for Vita

Play.com, a UK game retailer has put up, and then taken down (rather quickly) links for four new PS Vita games likely to be announced at Sony's event on Friday.

The titles are no real surprises, but still good to hear, they are:

  • Monster Hunter 3,
  • GTA Vice City Stories,
  • Tales of Innocence R,
  • Final Fantasy Type-0 HD

Tales of is already out in Japan and GTA was rumoured a week or so ago. It would make sense for HD versions of the Final Fantasy and Monster Hunter games to head our way. The Monster Hunter page is still up at the site with some horrifically bodged up artwork.

Any one of those games would goose sales, but all four should give the Vita a healthy kick in the right direction on any continent. Monster Hunter on the PSP sold over four million copies and gamers will be eager to continue their adventures on the Vita.
