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...

Adventures in #screenshotsaturday

Slowly but surely indie devs around the world are working hard on games, some of which are heading to the Vita. Regardless of format, the creativity is staggering - check out dozens of games incubating away here (it runs into #screenshotsunday too).

Remember to help back the Vita games up for funding here.

Loads of voxel-based games are in progress that shoulda/coulda/woulda be an easy port to Vita, if a developer is suitably encouraged. But the game that most struck me as awesome was Racing Apex (Kickstarter on hold), which is probably too complex for Sony's ageing hardware. It looks like an earlier gen version of the lost-in-dev-hell 90s Arcade Racer, but surely someone can do a Virtua Racing-style game that would run well?

Anyway, definitely coming to the Vita: click for a few more pics from Infinite State for their gorgeous looking Wing Kings, with the game new getting a day/night cycle and a pretty setting sun.


And, going back to racers, here's the latest on Drift Stage hopefully hitting the Vita eventually...


Roguelike Children of Morta is coming on well, giving me a nice Diablo vibe with some insane spells in your armoury.


Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
