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 the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  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 coo...

Gravity Crash PSP gets the PS+ upgrade treatment

Following on from June's Killzone Liberation update, Just Add Water's sparkling shooter Gravity Crash for the PSP is up next. Still on the UK PSN store for £5, with the Vita Ultra edition randomly only £2.50. 

Not that it matters much, with the original version getting a boost and relaunch for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers on PS4 or PS5, along with Twisted Metal 1 & 2 from the PSone this month. The usual upgrades of  up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters are mentioned, hopefully with trophies.

The 2010 release riffs off Lunar Lander, players explore planets, zip around the bright-green vector-LED-style landscape. Rescuing astronauts, finding secrets and topping up fuel, opening the gates to new areas and fighting off the space nasties are all done against the clock. 

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!
