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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

In a related note, the Bandai-published Experience RPG Ray Gigant, that kind of bombed in Japan, has just picked up a European trademark, suggesting they hope that the game (with great big monsters to bash) will find a more appreciative audience here.


In partnership with Falcom, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd Evolution was also announced, which should bring a trilogy of massive RPGs to the Vita, although release formats haven't been confirmed.

Not bad for first thing on a cold Tuesday morning! Time to update the release list. Spike Chunsoft has a similar Danganronpa event in early December which should keep the news rolling in.
