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.

Sword-swinging AeternoBlade dated for February

Developed in Thailand by Corecell, AeternoBlade is a classic side-scrolling fighting game for the Vita. Originally a 3DS title, it has been visually tweaked, upscaled, had shadows added, booted up to 60fps, given a lick of paint and generally tarted up.


A 2D scroller, the game has a bit of PS one feel to it, which is fine and focuses on Freyja, a heroine forced into battle against the villainous Beladim, using the power of her time-warping sword to avoid nasty issues like death (but not taxes, I guess). The Vita version also gets some extra costume DLC, and there's a range of exotic characters across the game.


AeternoBlade will be released in PlayStation Store in the US on 10th February and in the EU on 4th February 2015.
