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...

Of all the Nintendo E3 news, Advance Wars wins!

With WayForward on development duties, I think we can be sure of a high-quality effort all round, and it looks pretty good with what was shown in the brief trailer. 


There's plenty of content with the original Advance Wars and Black Hole Rising, and it looks like none of the over-complications of games that try to do modernise on the genre. The December release seems a bit sketchy, putting it up with all the other seasonal big hitters. Not that it really matters, sign me up!
