PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games. Everyone else is still barely cutting the skin of the PS5's power, and most western smaller/indie o...

FIFA 14 on Vita is another scam and a con job!

Not surprised in the least, but the "new" version of FIFA 14 is, in my opinion, another EA scam. Or, as EA puts it (according to a flack talking to EuroGamer), "There will be a Vita version, and it'll be the same great gameplay, and new kits. I have nothing to do with the prices, " EA Sports' David Rutter spouted.



There is a "Legacy Edition" tag on the box, as if they're trying to justify this pathetic excuse for an update. So, please DO NOT  buy this repackaged two-year old game, tell your new Vita owning friends not to buy it and so on. Perhaps if it comes out at a budget price, then fair enough, but Amazon's place holder price is £39.99. You can now pick up FIFA 13 for £15 in places. Buy that instead and live with the slightly out of date kits and teams.

Quite how they can justify £40 for adding some new kits is a disgrace of the worst order and I hope the proper gaming press do their job and take EA to the cleaners. All the development was done and expensed years ago, it does not cost £40 to put a license on the box and tweak a few graphics, I'm sure EA will line up some further excuses, but do not fall for them.

I wonder if Konami are rethinking bring the new PES 2014 over to Vita to take advantage of the disgruntled gamers. Or, if you get a PS4, buy that version with all the new bells and whistles and use remote play! Unfortunately, given FIFA 13's persistence in the top five of the UK chart since its launch, I guess many uninformed gamers will fall for this, all over again.
