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...

Colin Moriarty and Lillymo bring Twin Breaker to the Vita

It felt like a meta enough idea to be interesting, and I knew that a subsection of our audience would really love it. It’s been an awesome experience for me to flesh out a strange tale of first contact, led by our two daring protagonists and their powerful ships: Greetings and Salutations. Giving an old-school-style game a story at all was really inspired, in a lot of ways, but Atlus’ wonderful Catherine, which gave Q*Bert meaning. So why can’t Arkanoid have meaning, too?!
Price will be $9.99, no word on an EU release which I'm a bit worried about. Lillymo also gave us recent shooter Habroxia and Perils of Baking. What's really good is the support for the Vita release, imagine if we'd had gaming celebs (or any celebs) touting the Vita back in the day?

What we really need now is a good sound effect to announce new Vita games with. Something bingly that any posts like these can use as an audio cue. It might only get used a dozen or so more times, but hey, let's enjoy them while they last.
