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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Zen's Kickbeat combines music and fighting on the Vita

Just based on the title, I'm imaging Glee meets Mortal Kombat but I suspect the game is really a little more upbeat than that. From the video it looks like a rhythm action title, but the actions are kicks, punches, dodges and blocks.



All of this is fought on some rather Tron-like arenas, with the music coming from big and upcoming names, with some Pendulum and Marilyn Manson, indie pioneers Celldweller and Blue Stahli, and eclectic talents like electronic music producer Voicians and Taiwanese rapper Shen Yi.

A full unveil will take place at E3, but tap this up as one the Vita's increasingly quirky but cool range of music games along with Sound Shapes (featuring Deadmau5)and Hatsune Miku.
