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...

Contraptions builds up a trophy listing

 Incredible Game-style effort Contraptions from Moragami is a 2019 Steam, PS4 and Switch game that might be heading to the Vita. There's a trophy listing up, and the publisher is down as Funbox, who gave us the party-fuelled Top Trumps Turbo and Vegas Party. 

Update: Release date confirmed for November (EU).

I loved the early levels of the original PC games way back when, hope this brings some more contemplative fun to the Vita. No more info than that at this point, other than Funbox recently signed a deal with Eastasiasoft to bring more games west, not sure if that's related, so who knows, this might even be for an Asia-only release. 



The game blurb offers us: How many steps does it take to change a light bulb? If your answer is 10 or more, then you are ready for "Contraptions" - a game where the goal is to fix whacky contraptions that perform simple tasks in indirect and convoluted ways, Rube Goldberg style.

Use camels as trampolines, champagne bottles as cannons, balloons to lift objects, fireworks wheels to drive conveyor belts, magnets to attract metal objects, and many more gadgets to solve the puzzles and clear the levels.

Features include:

  • Solve over 100 wacky puzzles across 5 different worlds.
  • Create an unlimited number of your own levels and challenge a friend to try to beat it.
  • Use a plethora of goofy gadgets from scissors to washing-line pegs.
  • Complete the levels in multiple ways...get as bonkers and creative as you like.
