PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Starlight Inception gets Remastered

And the outside view has far clearer text, while the fog effect on ground levels has been improved. 

It's a big fella at 2.2GB, and has tons of fixes and improvements, if you gave up on the game first time around, perhaps give it a second try. Definitely worth the title Remastered and hopefully will encourage the developers to keep the games coming. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
