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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Freedom Wars grows English subtitles

With Sony pushing hard into the rest of Asia, what's the quickest way of getting its Japanese-heavy games out there?

Sure, the audio is still Japanese, but hey, that wasn't a problem with the Akira soundtrack CD 25-odd years ago, and it won't stop importers rushing to buy a game they can now enjoy semi-properly. If Asia sales do kick off, and with China opening its doors ajar, there's some hope, Sony looks to be well placed to win, and us westerners will benefit if they automatically bolt English into their future releases.



We even get the original teaser trailer in English...
