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...

New games announced for Vita at PSX

Good news, people! There's some more games headed to the Vita! Not exactly "new" new, but more titles nonetheless. Not only did Sony drop Bastion (£6, £3.60 for PS+), Bit.Trip Collection (£7.99) and Nuclear Throne (£9.49) on PSN today.

Double Fine adventure Full Throttle Remastered is also coming to the handheld, following up Day of the Tentacle, now dated for March. With tarted up artwork, the classic biker adventure was pretty cool in the day, although I'd still prefer to play The Dig again!



We're also getting mobile title Hitman Go (one of the best rated mobile games of the year). The Vita version will have gameplay updated and optimized, with NO in-app purchases but trophies added. And, if that proves a success, what chance Lara Croft Go?

Also coming our way is SNK classic fighter Last Blade 2, not sure if this is the Wii version or an all new update. So, that's a pretty reasonable return if you were expecting nothing at all.



This was all announced at Sony's PSX keynote, which was naturally PS4 and VR heavy. The show continues, and there should be a replay soon enough.
