June 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 .  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.

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon rises for physical release

While we'll never get the full Ritual of the Night game, we're at that strange time in the Vita's life when all sorts of oddities get bagged for a physical release. Enter Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, the Inti Creates spin-off game from the Kickstarter project that ditched the Vita, coming to us from Limited Run with pre-orders next week.

If you like the cover art, the Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon Collector's Edition features a poster of original art from Tom duBois, the artist behind the likes of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.

Castlevania fans will lap it up, but it won't quite fill that RotN hole in our hearts. On the plus side, we take what we can get and there's plenty of buzz around Bloodstained, so hope to pick one of these copies up. No word of how many copies will be available, but get your buying fingers primed for next Friday.
