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...

Cancelled Elder Scrolls Oblivion on the PSP revealed

UPDATE: Well, that lasted long, ZeniMax have pulled the clip, clearly confirming that a Vita version is in the works! :) 

 New, working (for now) links are here.

There are two different clips from a year apart showing the advancements made, and how a decent looking product may have emerged. Sure the fighting mechanic looks a bit ropey, but this demo proves the power of the PSP and what could have been!

Add this to the Saint's Row PSP game that was uncovered earlier in the year and its easy to see how a little good luck could have raised the PSP's profile among core gamers, and (perhaps) made the Vita more relevant.

Instead, these were dumped, we were lied to about Bioshock and Sony shafted everyone by dropping support. Given the insane love for JRPGs on the Vita, can't someone blast out a classic 3D western tale on one of the many engines? Kickstarter beckons surely.
