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...

Killzone Liberation liberated from PSP to PS4/5

Given that a search PSN for Killzone currently shows no results, it will be good to get a least one game back on the service. Hopefully it will feature upscaled visuals, trophies, and Killzone Liberation would make great use of the rewind feature given a player's ability to mess things up in the compact battlefields. It should also be better on a larger screen, considering how hard it could be to spot a key feature or gap in the landscape on the portable.

Note, Japanese RPG Coded Soul was briefly mentioned as another PSP game coming in June, but then dropped, definitely on the way are PS1 titles the classic Worms and Herc's Adventure. 

This and last month's additions of Pursuit Force and Syphon Filter make for a good little groundswell of games gracing PS+ Premium, and with the new Project Q for Premium users only (apparently) they'll be back on the go sometime soon.
