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.

Starlight Inception beta hitting PSN on the 22nd

Heads up Kickstarter types who backed Escape Hatch's Starlight Inception, the Vita's first crowd-funded game.

In it we get to fly the Lightning craft through the tutorials, get ready to feedback with your bug reports and issues.

Note that some graphics are still placeholders, as is the voice track, which will all be revised before release. A final version is expected before the end of the year with a release date TBC. Sure, this isn't quite Elite Dangerous or that other big-budget Kickstarter, or even the better-specified PC version, but its ours and hopefully we'll get to love it.

UPDATE: Note the beta codes only work on the US PSN store, EU types are out of luck, for now.
