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...

Vertical Heroes Drop HD arriving mid-February

Digerati continue to deliver the goods with a Vita version of one-man-band-developer Nerdook's Vertical Heroes Drop HD arriving in just a couple of weeks. Cross Buy with the PS4 version, it will cost $6.99.

The game is described as a procedural platformer RPG hybrid, which naturally comes with those inevitable roguelike features.

Heroes wade through randomly generated stages, mixing skills and traits to overcome the obstacles, enemies and other dangers across each level they descend. Features include:

  • Randomly generated stages, enemies and bosses, resulting in a very replayable game.
  • Split screen, local co-op.
  • Destructible terrain and multiple uses for each skill gives you plenty of options to approach the different situations generated. 
  • Tons of skills, abilities, traits and powers that you can unlock in the game, creating a different hero each time. 
  • Unique combat system where proper planning is more important than quick reflexes. 
  • Persistent upgrades allow you to carry forward progress between games, with a choice between increasingly expensive persistent upgrades or generally cheaper temporary upgrades. 
  • Every enemy and boss has been designed to provide challenge and variety.
