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...

Second wave of Evercade releases pre-order plans

The pre-orders for Xeno Crisis/Tanglewood and the Oliver Twins Dizzy collection are now live on Amazon, Funstock and other stores. The on-sale date is a rather depressing 2nd of October, but there's something to be said for anticipation.

Update 25 July: The 2 Atari Lynx collections will go up for pre-order at midnight on 30th of July with a release date of 6th November. Lynx Collection 2 comes with a reversible cover, with Chips Challenge on one side and California Games as the feature title on the other. Evercade also says they have a couple more surprises to keep us excited for 2020!

NOTE: If you want to join us in Evercade Cove, some supplies are left, with fresh stocks of the portable and 10 launch carts due in August!

Despite some early panic, Evercade are saying there will be plenty of stock for the new titles, and the "currently unavailable" notice on Amazon is a mistake on the retailer's part. Presumably lots of people got their orders in super early, but Evercade will produce carts based on total pre-orders plus enough for longer-term supply.



Among the hints are new colours of hardware in 2021, for those who didn't get the LE black model and lots of teasing about future collections.

A reminder that Evercade are being very open about current stock issues, game glitches and their future plans on Twitter and Discord, helping build a solid community. My personal request is that the manuals for future collections are more practical.
