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...

Bioshock is a bust on the Vita then

Looks like any lingering hope of seeing a Bioshock game on the Vita is pretty much toast now. Ken Levine refers to legal hell and other issues in some recent tweets. This one has dragged out so long that I can't many being surprised at the result.

However, Mr. Levine, an industry icon to many, did stand up on a public stage and say words to the effect of "Bioshock coming to Vita" and I didn't say any small print or "*legal/publisher issues pending" notices when he said it.

So, Mr. Levine is the public face of yet another Sony cock-up. Sony didn't have to invite him on their stage to announce a game that they hadn't legally got the rights to announce. While Sad Ken must be fed up with the whole affair, he can still make things right - in the eyes of Vita owners.

Come on Mr. Levine, just one stylish, compact, yet quick and cheap Vita exclusive from the Irrational team and we'll all forgive you. In the meantime, I'll just go and cross Bioshock off the release list.
