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 ...

Blood Alloy to stain your Vita's screen

Post 4,700, a nice round number. To go with it, how about some Blood Alloy? This indie arcade shooter from Suppressive Fire was recently Greenlit on Steam but slated for the Vita later in the year. Crafted in a a 2D Metroidvania style, it features a gritty, apocalyptic sci-fi urban setting with non-linear exploration and stamina-based combat mechanics.

There's a PC demo on the game's site and it also proves that failing on Kickstarter (which it did back in 2013) proves that it need not be the end of a project. The game got plenty of support and the time since has been spent refining the game into a more focused title, can't wait to give it a spin!
