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...

Back in 1995 ideal for the Vita's poly power

If you were into computers or consoles in the mid-nineties, you were there for the switch from pixels to polygons and the mostly woeful efforts to create realistic characters or worlds. From the Virtua games on 32X to Atari Jaguar's Iron Soldier to the first accelerator cards on PC, things were blocky and bulky, but the dawn of a new age.

Back in 1995 from Japanese indie "Throw the warped code out" is a short (2-3 hour) game bringing back all those memories with low res polygon model, the horrible texture warping, CRT emulation, and fixed Alone in the Dark CCTV style camera angles.

In Back in 1195 you relive a mystery game genre with an old-school user interface and tank controls.
Explore a sparse cityscape in the year 1995, littered with clues about the past, interact with a cast of damaged characters whose intentions you can never truly know and uncover the mystery of yourself, your daughter, and what happened to the city.
