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...

Is this the Vita's first crowd-funded game?

Starlight Inception is a planned title from Escape Hatch (a company founded by a former LucasArt's Star Wars 3D artist) that is going the crowd funding route (via Kickstarter) for launch on the PS Vita and PC. Help fund its development and you could get mugs, tee-shirts, credits in the game and a free copy depending on how much you contribute.



The game is due to be completed for Summer 2013, if gets funded. Starlight has a target of $150,000. With $15 getting you the game, it just needs 10,000 contributors to get finished. Starlight will feature a young space fighter pilot assigned to the star carrier U.S.F. Independence, deploying to hotspots throughout the Solar System during World War IV.

Starlight Inception is described as a realistic and relevant first person, third person free-roaming space combat experience. It has a unique blend of action with an involving storyline. Features include ship-based combat both in space and on planets and moons, interplanetary exploration, and multiplayer dogfighting.

Go on, plump down a few bucks/pounds to help get this done. The game is already up to almost $5,000 but has until May 8th to raise the rest, not sure if Europeans can contribute to Kickstarter, it doesn't seem to like my Amazon account :( UPDATE: Got it to work! It accepts payments from any Amazon account, see Kickstarter's help pages for details if you have trouble.)
