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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Confirmed: Panopticon is "Freedom Wars" for the Vita, new video!

Here you go, the same trailer pretty much with the official details tacked on the end, including a coming 2014 date, which means this game won't be saving the Vita's bacon any time soon. This ridiculously futuristic game is set in a city or world called Panopticon and while the pre-rendered stuff looks fun, I have serious doubts the Vita will produce anything close to this ideal.



While some commenters seem to think that multiplayer now must always mean "Monster Hunter," this game is classed as a "recovery" game which most likely means the focus is on rescuing people, with a healthy dose of monster bashing thrown in, no doubt.


While the trailer was announced in Japan, Sony Europe has a trademark for Freedom Wars, so expect the game to appear in Europe, eventually.
