PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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 .  April 2026 Update:  Compatibility with PS5 and PS4 games seems to be locked-in, as anything the PS6 full fat hardware the portable versions should be able to do as well, with near-invisible trade-offs at the silicon level.  Prices are firming up too with estimates around the PlayStation 6 handheld at between $500 to $700 and a PlayStation 6 at $700 to $1,000, depending on the deepening silicon crisis and Sony's budgeting wizards.  Only a few developers around the world could afford to take advantage of it for AAA+ budget games.

Gravity Crash PSP gets the PS+ upgrade treatment

The usual upgrades of  up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters are mentioned, hopefully with trophies.

Gravity Crash

With tight controls and millimetre precise gameplay, Gravity Crash is a cracking piece of retro-modern arcade fun with huge challenge, and the brutally fun Gold Grabber Robotron-style mini game for relaxation! 

Just Add Water is still going, recently helping out felling British portable heroes FuturLab with Power Washer Simulator and Mike Bithell with Volume, also working on the Oddworld remasters and Sniper Elite VR. Maybe they'll revisit this someday for a 4K OLED-exploding edition!
