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...

Unwrapping the Evercade Full Void limited edition

 I know OutoftheBit's Full Void is available on other platforms (Switch among them), but as the first Evercade solo game cart and limited edition, this has to the format of choice. Buying the LE or standard helps support the developers and gives the Evercade platform greater cachet. 

And the team at Blaze has done a lovely job of putting the limited edition together with brooding art on the slip case, the eye-popping cyan cartridge and a charming art book (although dark pics on a dark background - design faux pas), double-sided poster and a fun set of stickers. 



Still haven't had time to play Full Void, but as this is the first physical game I've picked up in ages, it is an absolute delight to own, hold and browse through. Here's hoping for more in 2024 as more developers see the value in Evercade and it is recognised as a great place to play. 

Update: Finished the adventure now, a couple of hours of smart challenges, breath-taking/holding moments and an epic little story punctuated by stacks of atmosphere. Review up soon.
