July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

Sony's TGS show, a shower of Vita love (hopefully)

Here we go, all eagerly waiting for Sony Japan to support its little Vita. The good news is the little man at the start actually mentioned the Vita.

Watch the whole show rerun here.

Shehui Yoshida is taking the stage.... First up a look at Bloodborne: The Old Hunters from From Software, definitely not a Vita title.


Next, new Everybody's Golf, is it for Vita, is it, is it, is it? Format not specified, from the ever-relibale Clap Hanz. PS4 only by the general reaction.


Also, Gravity Daze, coming to PS4, it does look beautiful. Gravity Daze 2 is announced for PS4 only.


Japan gets a collector's edition.


Sony's PS4 trailers here (for Remote Play, naturally)

Now Ubisoft, bringing a Samurai Warrior to fight western knights. Then, Jack the Ripper to Assassin's Creed Syndicate, both PS4.

Then Sega, with a Yakuza, 10th anniversary project. Yakuza 0 Extreme, a remake of the PS2 game. Yakuza 6 is PS 4 exclusive, arriving next year. Also, King of Fighters 14!

Finally, some Vita-ness with a peek at more adventures in PSO2, except that too is coming for PS4 in 2016. Wonder if there will be cross play? And will PS4 owners be able to use their PS Vita content?

Here's Bandai to save the day. One Piece: Burning Blood. More fighting action. Also some more Vita 2-on-2 robot battling in the latest Gundam Xtreme.

Cue the Sony indie sizzle reel - sizzling! Then new colour controllers for PS4, PS Now for Japan and Project Morpheus!

PS4 PRICE CUT - wonder when that comes west, looks like it is definitely time to upgrade my PS3. Finally, new PS4 and Vita adverts. The Vita one actually showed some games!

Right, I'll track down all the new video clips and get them up for you. A great show thanks to Sony's third party chums, with lots of new games to look forward to. But Sony's lack of homegrown content left a horrible void at the top of the show.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
