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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

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.
