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.

Alien Isolation shown off on Switch

One of my favourite PS4 games, especially when remote played on the Vita tucked up in bed, Alien Isolation is the latest in the series to bring the sheer terror of Ridley Scott's and H.R. Giger's Alien creation to an interactive form.

Coming to the Switch soon thanks to Feral Games, we have a new brief gameplay trailer to help set the scene and to soak up some of the dripping atmosphere.

Seriously, the game is awesome, and should be great on the Switch, given its PS3 origins.


Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
