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...

Maybe, just maybe, a Metal Gear Vita announcement coming soon

I won't go into all the mad 'Phantom Pain is for the Vita' gossip going around, but next week's Famitsu is promising something big for Metal Gear fans. Given Hideo Kojima's liking for the Vita and transfaring, and Sony's refusal to drop the handheld's price (something it would only likely do if there were a few big games coming), its not too far from logical to suggest that something sneaky could be coming our way.



Sure, we were promised Metal Gear Rising and that never happened, and we were teased with Zone of the Enders HD which has yet to materialise, but that doesn't mean that the folks who took all the care over the Metal Gear HD Collection for Vita aren't hard at work.

It could be Metal Gear 4 for the Vita, or Metal Gear 5 PS3/Vita crossplay, or one of these off-shoot games, even some of the earlier titles, or (of course) nothing to do with the Vita at all. We'll see next week, what MGS would you most like to play on the Vita?
