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...

Ars Tactica brings the battle to the Vita

With all those Tactics games on the PSP; Final Fantasy Lion Wars, Ragnarok Tactics, Tactics Ogre, I wonder why the trend didn't continue to Vita? One company having a go is Ars Tactica who have turned up on Square Enix's crowd-funding page today to get interest in Dragon Tournament, a PC and Vita title, with the possibility of Indiegogo funding if they get enough interest.

Why not Kickstarter? Perhaps Square's interest might see something bigger come of this project? You need to login to register your interest, but you can use Facebook, Steam or Square access. There's a month to go, but please give them your support now.


I mentioned the Unity-powered briefly back in the spring, but things seem to be kicking into gear now with it taking shape well. Dragon Tournament offers a deep and interesting battle system. There's bags of quests, character development and crafting to enjoy - hope it all fits on the Vita!

I enjoyed the FF Tactics game, but can't say I got massively deep into it, any aficionados want to weigh in on how kosher this looks?

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
