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.

Last Borderlands 2 patch improves performance

Most games that get a "performance" update generally result in a shrug and a frown. But for Borderlands 2 on the Vita, every extra fraction of performance, improvement in texture loading or other boost is very welcome.

Me, I'm just happy to play the game on the go, regardless of some shaky performance, sharing time with it on the PS3. It is good to see Iron Galaxy (now working on Killer Instinct for console) still working on the title, although they mention on Twitter that this will be the final update, so enjoy it while you can.
