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.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point. Certainly, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than a 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 ...

Everyone loves Tearaway

Today was always going to be a bit quiet after the rush of news yesterday, but the previews for Tearaway have now gone live (since when was an embargo for previews a thing?) and all of them seem suitably glowing about the papertrail game.

OPM UK: "But it’s the way you’re involved in, and made a part of, the world that really wins. You’re an active role of the story, a mysterious entity just outside Iota’s world who he needs to get a message to."

God is a Geek: "Use the touch screen to fold a part of the environment and it crumples up exactly like in real life. It sounds like a stupid thing to say about a world made of paper, but the world is realistic."

Many more are popping up, I'd imagine the reviews will pretty much follow these trails of thought. Which leaves the one big question, what on earth will Media Molecule come up with next?
