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...

Monster Hunter 4 delayed on 3DS, good and bad news for Vita?

That means, in the short term, more Japanese gamers could pick up a Vita to try out Soul Sac out in the absence of a new HM. However, if Capcom does have an expiry date on its exclusive deal with Nintendo, then this could delay the arrival of (presumably) Monster Hunter 4 Freedom on the Vita (pushing it well in to 2014).

We'll see in the fullness of time, but hopefully it gives Soul Sacrifice lots of breathing space for its own demonic brand of hunting gameplay.
