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...

PS Vita to get some Sunflowers

When the sun is out, nothing likes prettier than a field full of Sunflowers. Even when its pissing it down, you'll be able to recreate the experience with a new game from the makers of PSP mini Flying Hamsters. In it, your aim is to grow the flowers by controlling the sun and dropping the right elements through the clouds.

Just had a quick chat with the developers and they've offered some more detail:


  • The game uses the PS Vita vertically only
  • Touchscreen and/or rear touchpad can be used for moving the Sun
  • Tapping Touchscreen/rear touchpad and/or L/R buttons can be used for shooting
  • Shaking the device (using the accelerometer) is used to get rid of dead leaves on Autumn levels
  • The camera is used to catch the ambient light during specific dusk tropical stages





Specifically a PS Vita release, it uses all the system's interfaces such as shaking and the touchscreen, and it plays with the screen held in portrait, which is a first, I think. With its bright visuals, tinkly tunes, if it was any jollier, it would explode in rainbows. Expect a release and a demo soon, with its classic, immediate style of hook, this looks like a winner.
