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...

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.
