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 ...

Emil's Task, a fond farewell to PSM

Taking the usual retro RPG look, Emil's Task shakes things up with real-time combat with our blue-haired hero/heroine(?) zapping the monsters with spells using dual stick controls. While Sony might be killing off PlayStation Mobile, it looks the better games both in the west and Japan are getting some limelight, and will hopefully get Sony involved in upgrading them to full PSN titles.

This certainly looks the business and I'd love to see it get a western release (with or without translation), it also works on PlayStation TV. Interesting list of resources at the end of the clip, showing how indies don't have to do all the work themselves.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
