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...

Elemental's Reborn Kickstarter goes back in the incubator

So, rather than having the project end without showing sufficient assets to the audience, they have decided to cancel the project for the time being and relaunch it with gameplay footage in November.
 So, if you were keen on this game then watch out for the relaunch of the Kickstarter campaign in a few weeks. As mentioned in the first story, the Vita stretch goal is a pretty big one, but if a decent gameplay video helps get it there, then it would have been worth the delay.
