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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Pix the Cat scratching the Vita's itch

Coming soon to the Vita and PS4 comes Pix the Cat from French developer Pastagames. It reminds me a tiny bit of Dreamcast freebie, ChuChu Rocket, with ducklings instead of mice, and the cat saving them instead of intent on pain. Add an acid-trip twist, scaling the Atari Lynx would be proud of plus an overdose of bass lines and it looks like a bit of a blast.


The developers previously brought the cute Pix n Love Rush to the PSP and more recently Rayman Jungle Run to phones. Looks like another fine arcade diversion, read more on the company's blog about its Gamescom showing (missed it from last week, among the rush of other new indies).


Check out the trailer which gives a better sense of the full lunacy.
