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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

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.
