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 ...

CheatDevice Remastered for Liberty City and Vice City Stories

Updated: Okay, there are a couple of mods/updates for various GTA games on the Vita now, this covers CheatDevice's Mod (Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories) and PGTeams' Revisited Trilogy (GTAIII, Vice City and San Andreas).  

Yes, the games press are getting all excited about the remasters for the first three GTA blockbusters (GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas) for current platforms, but Vita owners have been enjoying our own Stories for many years, and fans have (as with many GTA games) made them their own, literally. 

Exhibit A, a revamped version of the CheatDevice mod that improved the performance of the PSP games on the Vita. Now featuring native res, 60fps performance and other benefits, assuming you have a homebrewed handheld, it gives a new lease of life to these classics.  

With many of us enjoying the Android San Andreas port, the Vita is quite the GTA machine. Which does beg the question why Rockstar didn't do this themselves officially years ago and rake in some more cash?

UPDATE: Note that PG Team has its own Revisited Trilogy version with a huge number of tweaks and mods, including reworked and manually optimized textures, with models from the Xbox version of GTA VC.

Fixes apply to all vehicles, their wheels, the hands of characters in cut scenes. Environment textures, asphalt, grass, sidewalk, sand, some vegetation, etc. Improved lighting, rays of the sun, lights, headlights and weapon models plus some animations. from the PS2 version.
