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...

New Evercade hardware coming, arcade ports later

Evercade is teasing some news for the 23rd of April with the below image, which kind of suggests that multiplayer might be a feature across Evercade games. That'd be great for all the two player titles available across the many collections. 

UPDATE: Interestingly, the press release just popped up saying:"23.04.21 - Watch this space for more information and future announcements of new Evercade Hardware!" So, if it is a new iteration of hardware, stand by for lots of excitement! 

Original story continues: Whether this is in the form of a software update and USB link, or perhaps a new-generation console that builds multiplayer plus more power for newer games and features, we wait to find out.

In related news, Evercade is also promising that arcade originals will start launching for the handheld later this year. All of which adds up to an exciting rest of the year for owners after a relatively quiet start to 2021, not helped by a few small delays. 

The last news was the first few games for the upcoming Intellivision cart. But in Evercade-land that doesn't really matter, we have over 200 games to play, no downloads, loading times or panicking a digital store will vanish!
