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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point. Certainly, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than a distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 ...

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).

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.
