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...

Gaikai becomes PlayStation Now, classic gaming on all devices

Sony has unveiled PlayStation Now at CES, its streaming service which will roll out in a limited beta soon (for US users). It will let people play classic PS2 and current PS3 games on any device, but obviously will be better on ones with a controller (hint, Vita).

Presumably Sony's Bravia TVs will be able to play the service through an internal Vita TV or similar setup, it will come to other TVs later. I have no idea how you play a twinstick shooter with controls through a tablet or mobile (update: all systems require a DualShock controller to play), but its nice they're on the list. More information on this soon, but don't expect an EU release particularly early, as Sony rolls this out, along with lots of hefty back-end tech very gradually.


Destructoid has a hands-on demo of PlayStation Now running The Last of Us on a Vita, from their write-up the focus is on PS3 games first and classics later. On the EU blog has a minor update, stressing the no European date exists. Pricing will be by subscription or for specific games, likely not included in PS+, although it'd be cool if they offered a discount.
