July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6.

Tecmo Koei merging with Gust

Both brands have provided a lot of decent Vita games, so this could be good news. Tecmo has helped publish Gust's games over here, so the two have a firm relationship.

The merger will be effective from the 1st October and will see Gust become a brand and studio within Tecmo. The release promises that Gust will be able to expand its existing series, create new IP and bring them to a broader audience. Hopefully we'll get boxed copies of Gust games, rather than Europe's diet of PSN only releases.

You can currently pick up Atelier Meruru Plus and Atelier Totori Plus on the UK PSN, both at over £30, hopefully those prices will come down in the near future.
