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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Last bits from Gamescom, Sly Cooper to 2013, Silent Hill still creeping along and what was missing

Konami came out with a new batch of Silent Hill screens for the show, looks like this game will now be done when its done. The game became more of a running joke recently when the developers showed off stupid character customizations.



Naturally, some publishers weren't there and some games were held over, but mysteries I would love to have seen cleared up at Gamescom include:

Persona 4 Golden European release date please
Doctor Who and the Eternity Clock PS Vita, happening or not?
Sunflowers information from Game Atelier
Urban Trials release date from Tate

Is there anything you were expecting to hear about from Gamescom that might have slipped under the radar?

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
