July 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 .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  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.

Evercade and Amiga tie-up confirmed

Mentioned earlier in the week at the German Amiga convention #Amiga37, Evercade has confirmed it is working with the platform holder of the legendary 16-bit system. Specifically "Evercade Cartridge Collections will highlight publishers and franchises who made games for Amiga systems."

Rolling out in 2023 and beyond this is another great source of games for the Evercade, with so many legendary titles, and hopefully some of the new indies that still arrive on the Commodore system. It will fit neatly in the new blue scheme of the C64 collection, and I wonder if there will be any room on them for some of the great demo scene creations? 

No games are mentioned, but it is great thinking of all the Psygnosis, Thalamus, Team 17 and many others. Sure, lots of Amiga original games are already available on Evercade via other systems' emulation notably via the Bitmap Brothers and Gremlin Graphics collections, but there are hundreds of gems that could make it over. 

Given the long-running legal issues over Amiga ownership and rights, I hope this means they have been resolved.
