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.

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath hits the Switch

The Oddworld series has had a long and noble ride through the console generations with the gorgeous-looking 2D Abe platformers in the PlayStation days and 3D adventures in the Xbox era. Stranger's Wrath also hit the Vita many years back, and now comes to Switch.

Its a rather pricey £26.99 on the Switch, presumably based on the cancelled Wii U version, but that's Switch tax I guess. It was released in 2012 for just £9.99 on the Vita and is still on PSN, if you have both.

Stranger's Wrath follows a fearsome bounty hunter who captures outlaws in order to collect bounties to pay for surgery to keep him alive. It uses living ammo made out of the creatures in the world in one of many clever twists among its future-retro-western setting.
