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...

Irem arcade collection coming to Evercade

Along with 1982's Moon Patrol with the genius vertical and horizontal weapons, there's classy-looking submarine shooter In the Hunt and Battle Chopper with its in-level upgrade shop gimmick. Add to that the swish of Lightning Swords and early American Football game 10 Yard Fight - an epic collection. 



All the games are 1 or 2 players, so good for the Evercade VS, and this epic cart will be available for pre-order in September, arriving Winter (hoping for no more chip-shortage enforced delays!).
