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 ...

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.
