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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Freebie Deathmatch Village crashes into the PSN update

Looks like the PSN update for Europe has kicked off earlier than usual with Floating Cloud God, a freemium version of BreakQuest and the free Deatmmatch Village on offer for Vita owners, plus the new portable content of the summer sale. Deathmatch Village is only 156Mb and offers rapidfire platform action across both the Vita and PS3. More when its finished downloading.


Now its finished downloading, you choose from one of three characters, run through a quick tutorial level showing you how to use the different weapons, melee attacks and grenades, before the ultimate aim of the game is revealed, pig collecting while deathmatching!

The graphics are clean and crisp with a down-home country feel to them, while the village section of the game has pig "conversion" units, stores, gunshops, vets (for your donkey) and so on. It's not the most logical of setups, but fun to learn and explore (the Premium building has a link to PSN which is where I guess DLC and credits can be acquired).

In the arena, you can challenge others to the deathmatch Hunts or the 3 vs 3 Races. Since I got there very early, not many folks about to play against.... no one if fact. Waiting, waiting.... anyone remember the fun of playing against bots when there weren't enough people online? Hint to Sony and Bloober there.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
