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 ...

Buried Stars visual novel has English, but not the Vita edition

That's annoying! 

A new set of English-language trophies popped up on Exophase last night for Buried Stars. "Sounds good", I thought. 

A quick search revealed an Asian visual novel with English text getting a global release - "Even better", I smiled while typing this.

Looked up publisher LINE Games and developer Studio LARGO for more info. 

The game is a survival visual novel, with the usual motley bunch of characters and plenty of discourse, even so, it looks pretty big budget. But it turns out the Vita version will only be available in South Korea and that won't come with English text, which seems rather pointless. 

Here's the Gematsu story covering the news and a trailer...
