July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

Waking Violet and Master of Mayhem line up for Vita

Both games seem to be about a year old PC titles and are Russian/Belaryussian developed, which is a positive-sounding source of new Vita games if the rest of the world is slowing down. Beyond their Steam pages, there isn't a huge amount of detail on the console ports, so check back for any updates.

UPDATE to the UPDATE: But in the Moose's place comes Waking Violet, a game with no history, no social media mentions, and a Twitter account that's never tweeted. Some digging and Twitter help (thanks @maryjenbeck) tracks it down to the Mixed Bag published game that was teased recently by Marco Mastropaolo and there's a teaser website up here.
