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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Vita games aplenty from Kadokawa's Japan event

Aside from the two new games announced by Kadokawa games overnight with launch trailers, God Wars and Root Letter, there's plenty more good stuff from the publisher.

For a start Experience's Demon Gaze II, the sequel to the panty-obsessed classical RPG romp, a good seller across the west, was announced for a 2016 Japan release. That should definitely come our way based on the original's success. That's moved on from its end-of-2015 release, and slightly more worrying, they are asking fans for ideas in the game, which isn't going to end well.

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.
