PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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. Everyone else is still barely cutting the skin of the PS5's power, and most western smaller/indie o...

Checking in on the last Vita PSN games out this week

Just a day to go until the final Vita releases hit the PSN store. Here's the latest on what's happening with the last batch as the developers rush toward the finish line. 

UPDATE: And that's it, they are live on PSN nice and early, so go get them, binge on trophies and then we sit back to wait and see what PlayAsia can throw our way as later-day physical exclusives or kindly devs decide to release as homebrew. 


Pigeon Dev's Witchcrafty is only £3.99 has a release trailer and here's some gameplay footage. Early reviews suggest a few bugs in the game thanks to Sony forcing developers to push games out the door, but it still looks great. 

Note that Indigo7 is likely getting a PlayAsia physical-only release later in the year, based on developer Delores' teasing. 

In better news, Spooky Squid's Russian Subway Dogs (£11.99, 84MB) is getting some special guest stars with Kepler and Doppler from Lover's in a Dangerous Space Time by Asteroid Base and Uay Chivo from Guacamelee! by DrinkBox Studios.


Gumbo Machine kindly sent over some footage of Ultra Mission in action for those love their classic shooters. 


And here's Killer Dolls in action from Domaginarium. This is live on the EU PSN, but is having trouble with the US store, hopefully it'll go live soon. 


Brotherhood United has sneaked in as a list-minute surprise.


Hopefully some more bits and pieces before these games hit PSN and we're all too busy playing them. Sadly, Sony's hard cut-off has trashed hopes for Seraphim, which did not make the deadline due to late-breaking development bugs. After years of developed effort, it makes Sony's "we love indies" message seem so much more hollow, would another week really have killed? 

That said, thanks to the PSN staff who helped deliver these games and have kept PSN updated, including a final refresh of the Latest games tab.
