Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

Luckslinger be quick on the draw for the PlayAsia physical release

If you look back for Luckslinger: A Fistful of Fortune on the Vita, there are comments going back as far as 2014 for the Kickstarted project. And while a trophy listing popped up back in March, there's been little sign of any actual game. 

Guess those few early-risers will finally get their wish as PlayAsia now has a store listing for the pop-culture pixel take on the western genre, a story of one man and his duck from 2Awesome and Duckbridge! But they'll have to be quick as this one is limited to 1,200 copies, which will likely vanish very fast. 

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


About the game: Classic spaghetti western meets hip hop style, releasing in Q3 2021!

In the Wild West, it takes a lot of luck just to stay alive. Fortunately in Luckslinger, good fortune is measurable, collectible, and usable whenever you need it most. Kill bandits, steal their luck and use it for your own good. The more luck you have, the better chance you have that enemy bullets will miss, you get saved from a bad jump or better loot is dropped at your feet. But beware! When you don’t have much luck built up in your special bracelet, bridges might collapse, rocks could tumble loose or outlaws might find a way to get the jump on you!

Inspired by the unrealistically fast gunslingers, dark humor, and greed-driven anti-heroes of spaghetti western classics, Luckslinger is an action-packed romp through the gritty frontier with a unique hip hop twist. Graffiti spraying, vinyl digging, slow drums, and jazzy samples give this western a modern and slightly anachronistic flair all its own.
