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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Y2K RPG to bug the Vita

Having wowed the indie scene with their Gameboy-inspired RPG Two Brothers, AckkStudios is now working on a slightly more modern RPG, dragging themselves all the way up to the year 2000.

Since the Vita is now dead to major games looks like inspired retro is the way to go, and this has some hallmarks of LucasArts adventures blended with some turn-based RPG action. But indie doesn't mean small on content, the game has a 400 page script and an impressive visual style.


Based around the infamous Y2K code bug, it tips the characters into strange new realms called Soul Space with a special grinding dungeon to help characters level up, without running through the same old levels.


It definitely sounds inventive and, if the combat and story are compelling enough, should be a fine addition to the Vita's indie roster. With this and Blackhole on the way, guess Sci-Fi fans are all set for the next few months.
