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...

Live App now out for PS Vita, PlayStation TV

Sony's new Live App is go for the PS Vita, and at only 5MB won't dent your memory card. It lets PS Vita and PS TV users  watch live PS4 gameplay streams, watch livestreams that your friends are broadcasting and add your own comments as you keep up to date.


There's a bunch of restrictions for sub-accounts and regions, but that shouldn't cause too much hassle for most. You can watch Twitch and Ustream feeds, and log into each service to join in the chat. Now all I need is a PS4 to join in the fun.

Based on a quick play, it looks okay, rather neat. The search option is accessed by the tab on the left.  or you can sort by spectators, date and comments, which is less than helpful. Leaving any stream requires it to rebuffer, which is slower than on most other systems, I guess the Vita has less spare overhead. Guess that's the rest of my week sorted while waiting for Freedom Wars.
