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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Horizon Chase Turbo revs up on PlayAsia

This was pretty much a given, having had the trophy listing surface a month ago and Horizon Chase Turbo was under discussion way back. But here's positive confirmation of the excellent retro-racer hitting the Vita, presumably in physical-only form soon. There's a ship date of third-quarter, which is no bad thing and the usual audio CD in the box.

Preorders open on this Thursday, June 10th at 11pm Hong Kong (11am ET / 4pm UK). Only 2,200 units! You can grab one here come the magic hour. 

Note, EAS has its summer showcase video today (Tues 8th June at 4PM UK) which may have a few more Vita games to reveal. 

Pre-orders are opening "soon", will update when they go live! Here's the blurb. 

A tribute to classic arcade racers!

Horizon Chase Turbo is a racing game inspired by the great hits of the 80's and 90's. Each curve and each lap in Horizon Chase Turbo recreates classic arcade gameplay and offers you unbound speed limits of fun. Full throttle on and enjoy!

Horizon Chase Turbo brings back the graphic context of the 16-bit generation and creates a style that is inspired in the past without letting go of its contemporaneity. The apparent polygon and secondary color aesthetic accentuate the visual beauty of the game, resulting in a unique and harmonic atmosphere. You'll feel the retro soul of the game on a completely modern body.
