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...

Shoot 1UP DX (doesn't) blast the Vita

UPDATE: This game and MBG's next release Explosionade DX are not coming to the Vita, they put up trophy listings as a just-in-case, but looks the games will be PS4/PS5 only. 


 Packed with big bosses, lots of power-ups and intense looking action, the game's trick is that when you pick up an extra ship you can deploy it instantly to beef up your firepower, contracting and expanding the formation to protect them. With multiple difficulty levels, 8 impressive-looking levels and a world of bullets, this looks pretty great, and got good reviews in its various versions. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
