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...

The Lost Cube found on Vita

JanduSoft dropped a fresh preview of its up and coming releases, and in the middle of the new/next-gen console news is The Lost Cube, coming to the Vita too!

Developed by Red Mount Media, it looks suspiciously like those many death-by-a-thousand-cuts games (Reed 2, 0000, League of Evil etc.) that have peppered the Vita in recent years, but what's one more step into that abyss?  


The Lost Cube offers a nasty collection of spikes, lasers traps and a guitar-toting, jumping hero that looks far from in control of the situation. If he finds the cube he can bring life back to the village, there's just the 60 levels and a few bosses between him and it. Guess I'll die a few thousands more times trying to finish this one...
