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...

Xeno Crisis gets a Vita trophy listing

Update: confirmed and with a physical release including soundtrack CD and . Pre-orders go live on 9th July and arrive in September. I will fight the lot of you down to my last grenade at the gates of Outpost 88 to grab one of the 2,000 copies!

Original Story:

I love this retro/modern Mega Drive shooter on my Switch (review) from Bitmap Bureau, it is classic gaming brilliance, but also a game that will definitely feel better on the Vita. But, why bother with such a small user base? However, having run the Switch, PS4, PC, Mega Drive, Dreamcast and NEO GEO owners dry, the developers are probably wondering where else it can go?


Xeno Crisis is arriving on the Evercade in October, but us loyal Vita buyers might be excited as a trophy listing has turned up, suggesting that we're next on the list, perhaps with a neat physical from a suitably connected publisher.



Last year, Bitmap Bureau said: "It would be very cool to see Xeno Crisis on the PS Vita, but we already have enough work to do with finishing the Dreamcast and Neo Geo versions, sorry! Confused face."

And with work finishing up on those versions, I guess they're at a loose end before starting on a sequel or an all-new project. So, here's hoping this isn't another faux-listing. No official word yet, but pretty sure this would sell decent numbers by Vita standards.
