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 .  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.

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.
