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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool.

Dragon Quest Heroes II's cinematic looks like a mobile game ad

Ooops, I guess they don't get those grim mobile King of Thrones*, Game of Kings, Toilet of Princess game adverts on TV in Japan. Which is exactly what this Dragon Quest Heroes II opening cinematic looks like to me.

Now all we need to know is will this and Builders come west!

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
