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...

Duke Nukem and Whoa, Dave hit Vita on PS+ for Jan

Not much more needs saying really, a low-end effort for the start of the year.

Still, with Devolver pulling the dev strings, it should retain all the fun of the original, with trophies and extra content to boot.

I can't find any mention of Whoa, Dave in the blog, so over to the PSN blog for that one. It comes from the folks behind the Bit.Trip titles, Gaijin Games, so should at least be bright and addictive, and there's nothing wrong with the retro-look either. Think we should also get the cool-looking The Swapper which is Cross-Buy across PS3 and PS4.



Let's hope some decent major release games are now old enough to count for PS+ in the near future, otherwise the Vita offering will start to look rather weak.

NOTE that due to the PSN outage, PlayStation Plus subscribers get an extra five days on their membership to cover the loss of action and a 10% discount off their next purchase.
