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.

Horror checkout sim Need A Packet hits the Vita's bagging area

Need a Packet? from Marginal Act sees the lead character mixing the dystopian hell of commuting, a constant diet of tabloid news and working as a checkout assistant to send them over the edge into a nightmarish dreamscape of BOGOF deals.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
