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...

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order sees X-Men, Avengers assemble for Switch exclusive

Third party exclusives are a dumb idea in a world of cookie cutter hardware, but the Disney/Marvel construct must think Switch is the perfect market for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order (until sales bomb, and then PS4 etc).

I'm not really familiar with the series, last released on PSP, but the Musou, whack-a-mole, style gameplay will be familiar to Dynasty Warrior fans. You stack up the vast array of X-Men, Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy heroes against Thanos and his acolytes, I'm sure it'll be full of variety, as long as the enemies aren't all cookier-cutter minions.



From the PR: Assemble your ultimate team of Marvel Super Heroes from a huge cast including the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men, and more! Team up with friends to prevent galactic devastation at the hands of the mad cosmic tyrant Thanos and his ruthless war-masters, The Black Order.

In this new storyline, heroes and villains unite in a race across the Marvel Universe to find the Infinity Stones before Thanos and The Black Order use them to unleash cosmic chaos. From Avengers Tower to the X-Mansion and beyond, every stop on the dangerous quest to thwart Thanos results in unexpected collisions of fan-favorite characters and iconic locations. Get closer to the action by shifting the view to an over-the-shoulder “Heroic Camera” perspective—a series first that offers a more immersive way to play single-player or multiplayer on up to four systems.

With online or local play for up to four players, drop-in/drop-out co-op possibilities let players create their own Ultimate Alliance at will.
