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...

SuperIcon's Vektor Wars, loving vectors on the Vita

SuperIcon (Life of Pixel) is hard at work on Vector Wars, developed in Unity, it was announced last week and is confirmed for the Vita among other formats. Check out the dev blog link above for details, but its a little similar to Vektropolis, which seems to have fallen off the radar, and looks pretty spiffy.


From the early peek, it seems to offer a great-looking city to explore and engage in combat around, with bags of detail and effects that bring the old vectors to life. Throw in a bit of compelling story and plenty of action, and we should have a great game on our hands. 
From the post: "I used to love the old 80s style computer wireframe sequences and visual styling from movies like Escape from New York, Terminator, Tron - bright super saturated computer wireframe imagery. Also the classic early vector 3D games like Elite, Starglider, Mercenary & Battlezone - I spent many happy hours playing those games and I don’t think I’ve ever topped that feeling of immersion from exploring those early 3D worlds."


Check back later, the developers have promised some new screenshots and perhaps a video of the game in action, just for you!
