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.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the 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 the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

Sega's Phantasy Star Nova video captured

Sega made a very big show and dance about Phantasy Star in Japan last night as part of a Thanksgiving event held in Sapporo. There's new details for Chapter 3 of PSO 2 plus some in-game footage of Phantasy Star Nova, now dated for Nov. 27 that's well worth checking out. Check out the whole show below, I'll update as I find the juicy bits.

It starts out with the typical fluffy characters and squeaking bints on stage, but toward the end of the first part, there's the new content for PSO2 with a chicken getting some "oohs" from the crowd, really? The gameplay video quality is pretty low, I'll see if I can find something better.



There's another big gameplay clip in Part 2, around 23 minutes in with some Shining Force crossover content. Parts 3 and 4 has some live multiplayer action, with some replica mechs and kit on show at the end of that section. Part 5 has a little bit of cosplay, then they start talking about PS Nova.

Part 6 shows off character creation and some gameplay for Nova, Part 7 is more PSO 2 live play, part 8 has some new footage from PSO 2 Chapter 3.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
