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.

Unwrapping the Evercade Full Void limited edition

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.
