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 ...

The Tower of Beatrice adds some puzzling to the Vita

I was really enjoying The Witness thanks to PS+ on the PS4 via Remote Play recently, and even on the big screen, it looks like a game you could play on the Vita - maybe with a few more loading screens. Still, if you fancy some puzzle action,  The Tower of Beatrice, a year-old Steam game from Fairy Forsest, is headed to the Vita, judging by a trophy listing, providing point-and-tap puzzling.

It doesn't look too disimilar to Access Denied, but with a distinct gothic feel to it. The official blurb reads:

The life of a thief isn’t easy: always hiding in shadows, clients cheat, traps bite…

Working on a contract for a mysterious client, you'll need to infiltrate the tower of the powerful sorcerer Beatrice, steal her Book of Recipes, and get out alive.

Along the way you will enter a demon's dreams to discover his most intimate desires, accept a gift from a Granny-spider, start the Clock Tower, feed a snail, make a tea for a demon, piece together a skeleton, and finally fix your own fatal failing.
