PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Hidden Trap presents the Retro Pixel Set

It is out now on EU PSN (can't see it on the Vita store but is on the web version) for £15.49 with a US release on the 28th January.

What would you like to see reignite some interest? I'd still love to play PSP GripShift again, Pure Chess and Hustle Kings Pool, and perhaps DLC complete versions of MotorStorm RC, Ragnarok or Ridge Racer?
