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...

Namco Bandai game tease frenzy, two titles being announced soon

I didn't post a story on Namco's new Ace Combat Infinity flight game, since I figured that would be an unlikely release for the Vita, despite the success of the PSP versions.

What do you get from the shiny smoked glass shapes? Anyway, hopefully one of these two will be a Vita game, and something way beyond how Namco arsed up Ridge Racer.

UPDATE: The non-Ace Combat game now has a "For 3DS" tag on the site, so I guess we can count that one out, all hopes rest on a vita fighter sim then!
