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...

Vita Kickstarters update, a breath of life

Still quite a few games on the go for the Vita in Kickstarter world. Here's a quick catch up and status check from the developers that like to keep their fans in the loop. Lots more in the Kickstarter list with less than regular updates or where Vita was a less than firm goal (and that could have been years ago), so who knows!

Pato Box (Bromio) Hot off the press with some fresh news today: "We've been a bit quiet about the development of the PS Vita and Switch versions. However we would like to inform you all that we are just finishing the last features and we are aiming to release both in June this year."



Battle Princess Madelyn (CasualBit): End of April update. "Another month has passed, and lots of things have been bug fixed and polished - heavy emphasis on the first half of the game as we bug fix - updating the HUD, font, dialog boxes, etc. Oh, and the Kickstarter cover art has been completed!"


Heart Forth Alicia (Alonso Martin) From March Update" We've applied our efforts on pretty much every area of development. More placeholders have been replaced with final assets, several cutscenes have been fleshed out or polished as needed, and some others enhanced with new character animations. "



Soul Saga (DisasterCake): "Soul Saga will be ready by July 2018 (on PC)! July of this year will mark Soul Saga’s Kickstarter’s 5th anniversary and it’s a conveniently appropriate time to finally get you the humble JRPG I’ve been working on for so long.  The desktop version will be released first and polish will be applied based on fan feedback.  Information regarding console porting (likely through a publisher) will come after fan feedback on the desktop version of Soul Saga."


Sharin no Kuni (Tokyo Otaku Mode) From late April "Development and production of the Vita port will take longer, and we plan to have another update sometime soon detailing the outlook for that. Talking of Otaku Mode, they're providing the goodies for the Muv-Luv Kickstarter package that is now confirmed for an August release.
