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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Distraint to disturb Vita owners soon

Distraint is a 2015 Steam release from Jesse Makkonen, a pixel adventure with dark overtones of psychological horror. The game has gained an impressive stack of positive reviews and sees anti-hero Price seizing the property of an elderly woman to gain a partnership in a famous company, but among the corporate evil-doing, he finds out the price of his humanity. Ratalaika Games is on porting duty, with an imminent release.

Jesse is currently working on an atmospheric puzzle/adventure Heal, about an old man making his way in the world, with no speech or text to distract from the ambiance.
