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. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

Monster Crown still heading to the Vita, with luck

In a recent Kickstarter update, Studio Aurum mentioned the prospects of the Vita version for Monster Crown.

"As for the Vita, we must create a different version of the Monster Crown project file. Once this happens, all changes made in the main version must be done twice - one again in the Vita version. For this reason we're holding off a little longer until we're closer to release to make that split. That isn't to say that we're changing gears or no longer tageting the Vita, just that we have to be strategic with how we approach the port in order to support Vita as fully as possible without slowing down development of the overall game. The Vita, as always, remains an important target to me.  While many Vita players now have purchased new systems (indeed, I've received many messages of vita backers seeking to change platforms) when I close my eyes I see Monster Crown on Vita and will use every resource at my disposal to make that a reality."

Here's the even more recent early access trailer to show off what we could be getting, should everything go to plan.
