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.

UnMetal busting out on the Vita

UnMetal is a 2D stealth/action game (with a touch of humor) where the goal is to escape from the enemy military base."

Release date, "soon", but happy to wait for what likes like a really smart idea!
