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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Roguelike Thy Sword trophies pop up

As you may have noticed, getting a litle bit bored of all the simple-as-beans platformers hitting the Vita recently, but Thy Sword looks like it might have a tiny bit of substance to it, certainly from a design perspective.  For a start, there's procedural and roguelike gameplay, aka replay value.

The PC original is a couple of years old from Thomas Finholm, and trophies have just popped up for a Vita version. It has some epic weapons and lots of death, so should offer more of a challenge than the regular supply of cookie-cutter platformers, some PC gameplay below.
