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...

Nihilistic tweets Vita Black Ops and mentions Resistance Patch

In a mammoth Twitter session, Nihilistic went through a lot of the Vita Black Ops weapons and features, and what's missing. For instance, there's no holographic gun sights due to the time that the game is set in. They also mentioned a Resistance patch will appear before the new game ships, and any requests for Zombies, DLC and future patches or DLC have to go to Activision (and will largely depend on sales).

What we won't get is killcam, the ability to pick your teams but there is Auto-run. Also, you won't be able to remap controls off the touchscreen. The confirmed MP maps are: Nukehouse, Shattered Range, Rocket, Container and Intel. A final nugget, in response to one question, Nihilistic says the U.S. version of the Black Ops has gone gold, not long to wait!

Weapons include: Carbine (aka Commando), AK47, M16, Gali,l M14, FAMAS, MP5K, Uzi, AK74u, PP19, RPK, M60, Stoner, l96a1, Draganov, Stakeout, SPAS-12, Striker, ASP, Python, Scorpion, CZ75, Mac11, Strella, China Lake, RPG Launcher, Underaction Launcher, Ballistic Knife, Crossbow, Tomahawk, Frag Grenade, Semtex, Bouncing Betty and Flashbang.

Weapon attachments are: Weight Balance, Improved Grip, Adjustable Stock, Quick Draw Handle. Extended Barrel, Tactical Knife, Bipod, Underaction Grenade, Extended Mag, Supressor, Rapid Fire, Red Dot Sight and ACOG.

Finally your perks are: Sleight of Hand, Lightweight, Hardline, Jammer, Cold Blooded, Fast Hands, Hard wired, Toughness, Dead Silence, Flak Jacket, Surplus and Marksman.

For a portable, that's a decent amount of content, certainly something to look forward too. But, since no new screens were shown off or put up, we'll have to hope the game has improved on the early shots after the developer's recent paint job.
