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 .  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.

Monster Crown still heading to the Vita, with luck

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.
