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 ...

Freedom Wars 1.20 offers 8-player mode

Hitting Japan in October, Freedom Wars' next big update to version 1.20 will add eight-way player-vs-player battles for some bigger, badder, PvP action. That's on top of the previous August update which added basic multiplayer features to the game. No fixed date yet but hopefully this update will appear not long after the western release.

UPDATE: The patch goes live in Japan on October 16, and will hopefully launched with the western version.




Remember the cool goodies Japanese gamers can get, no word on them coming west either. But hopefully someone will get hold of a supply. Since this is the Vita's only big new IP this year, someone ought to do something with it!
