July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

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.
