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.

Donut Dodo leads Evercade Indie Heroes 3 Collection

Donut Dodo from Pixel Games is one of my favourite retro games of the year, bringing the best of 8-bit arcade action with a few modern tweaks. Check out my review of the Switch version from which the below image comes.

The manic dodo, who is actually the villain of the piece, features front-and-centre on the artwork for Indie Heroes 3. The (February) 2024 collection of games that got a free digital release on the Evercade VS and EXP over 2023.


Ideal for those with the original Evercade model, other games featured in the collection include:

Platformers: Doodle World Redrawn, Magic and Legend: Time Knights, Thunderpaw, Bubble Seahorse Adventures, Orebody: Binder's Tale, and Skate Kat

Puzzlers: Alien Cat 2: Enhanced Edition, Big2Small, Chew Chew Mimic, Bone Marrow, 

Adventure: The Little Tales of Alexandria

Action: Chibi Monster Br4wl

Not only is a great collection (loved the original Alien Cat!), it gives smaller indie developers the chance of a physical release for their games and a broader audience.  


Bubble Seahorse Adventures is the latest digital release that has just become available for those with the newer Evercade hardware. 


And here's the trailer for a quick look at each game to get a feel for them. Check out the previous editions, Indie Heroes 1 and Indie Heroes 2, both packed with fun and surprises.
