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...

Pixel Noir is back on Kickstarter, fund this game, now!

Having learnt the lesson of its abortive Kickstarter campaign last year, SWD Tech is back with a perfectly reachable goal that includes the Vita in the base funding layer. They've also spent the hard hours and yards refining their engine and game, so this shouldn't be a title left in years of developer limbo.

UPDATE: Pixel Noir has just passed its funding goal with 23 days to go. Congrats to the team, but keep contributing to get this excellent looking game the best it can be with expanded stories, cut scenes and more.

Already approaching one-third funded on the first day, chip in and bring some pixel 16-bit flavour loving to your Vita or PS4. There's a PC demo to try out now for a taster of the game, but I'm confident this will be a finely crafted piece of exploring, battling and thoughtful fun, wrapped in the cold night air of Pinnacle City.

Check out the Kickstarter campaign here, and all the other games you could help fund to land on your Vita.
