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...

Montezuma Blitz getting a big update

To fix a few annoyances, and jolly along the faithful still playing this free-to-play time killer, Alawar is releasing a patch next week to freshen things up. For a start time bonuses will be instantly awarded, not fly across the screen just as time expires, which is one of the game's most grievous flaws.

Others include:

Scratchcard will now wield higher winnings more often and, in addition to that, show what was hidden below the other squares which remained unscratched!
Easier process of levelling up for new players with a little bit more crystals for smoother ride up.
The flow of time will become more forgiving, with time bonuses being added instantly, and game being paused when no moves remain and the board shuffles.
From now on, you can switch the gravity off when you don’t want it to meddle with your game while commuting, and switch it back on when you need it.
Totems now work much faster - the next one activates right after you use the previous one.
New Ziggurat notifications are now removed from LiveArea, keeping it clean for posting new personal score records.
Never stop the combo: if the timer runs out, you will be allowed to finish the current combo before counting up the game results. Stack up crystals to get the multiplier twice as high as it was before.
More strategic options thanks to updated features of Crystal Score, Color Discard and Score Frenzy bonuses and Yellow Totem.
