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...

Review: Gravity Duck

Gravity Duck offers a clever twist on the platforming challenge, where jumping puts you on the ceiling or back on the floor, and going through a gravity gate puts you on walls. With that in mind you need to navigate tricks and traps, bats, spitting vegetables and other threats to collect golden eggs at the end of each of the 140-some levels.

Set across a forest, underground, mountains and city backdrops, each puzzle adds a smidge of complexity or challenge, with the joy of doing it all again if you get it wrong. The Duck is on this mission, charged by a stone totem to collect the eggs, and that's about it for the plot but you have little time to worry as arrow blocks and laser beams start triggering to impede your progress.

The first few levels show you the gravitational ropes, and then its a matter of finding the solution to reach the end of each level. There's plenty of mistakes to make along the way as parts of the level can be obscured, or you time a jump just as the sliding block comes back at you. Still, its another easy platinum to the collection and the later levels to pack a fearsome challenge.

Gravity Duck is another neat challenge of narrow pixel escapes for Vita owners, but there are seriously too many of these coming thick and fast now, hot on the heels of Hoggy2, Awesome Pea and many more.  If someone wants to up their game, add some plot, add different routes, add secrets, add anything to make it just a little different.
