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.

Europe gets the Soul Sacrifice demo next week

There's been lots of chuntering on forums, demanding a go on the Soul Sacrifice demo before the full game launches at the beginning of May.

Note, the save game created in the demo can be used in the full game, a brilliant move on Sony's part and one that all gamers should be taking full advantage of.
