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...

Review: Dull Grey

Looking out over the landscape of Dull Grey, I'm reminded of a little airport in Greenland where bright red planes nip in and out, delivering people and goods across that massive country over the bleak mountains and wintry scenes. But here, there appears to be no little red Santa for respite or a dash of hope. And that's certainly true in the first couple of play-throughs of this short visual novel, a follow up to Railways of Love (not on Vita). 


As a mother and son, there's a decision to be made, the dreaded career options. Under the watchful eye of a Soviet-techno-style Progress Program, they must pick from lamplighter (well thought of, but often fatal) or tallyman (dull as dishwater used to wash the same socks for years on end). The Soviet equivalent of fast-food operative or Amazon warehouse runner? 

Is it even possible to try and make things better for the young lad? The only hint I'll give is that patience has its reward. And I won't spoil the plot, what there is of it, with brief hints of romance, peril and rebellion that make this more than just a very repetitive tale. 





That dash of Santa colour does shine through in some of the endings, but the key benefit of playing Dull Grey is what goes on in my mind across the remote possibilities of hope. Hopefully you'll feel that way too. 

Stylish, minimalist, and thankfully with decently translated text, this won't be for everyone, but there is some reward in playing and thinking about a world like this, especially if you're young enough to not be too far down a career set in stone.
