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.

Tomb Raider PlayStation trilogy vaults onto Evercade's first Giga Cart

The first Giga Cart collection for the Evercade has officially been announced. The Tomb Raider Cartridge Collection with Crystal Dynamics (wot woz Eidos), features the first three Tomb Raider games. These are presumably the PlayStation versions, with Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II Starring Lara Croft, and Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft bringing their polygonal exploits for a new generation of players in their original format. 

Update, you can now pre-order the EXP-R here on Amazon and the VS-R here, both shipping for the start of August. 


To ram home the joys of nostalgic gaming, there' a full-colour manual and the cart is compatible with all Evercades including the new R models, as the mystery pack-in cart. They will also work on the diminuitive HyperMegaTech! Super Pocket devices.



Releasing in July, and available to pre-order April 30, Tomb Raider marks a sort-of fourth-generation of Evercade releases. After the 8- and 16-bit consoles, computer and arcade titles, we're now moving firmly into 32- and 64-bit territory, after a bit of early tinkering with the likes of some smaller PlayStation games and N64's Glover. 

The arrival of Tomb Raider also gives the Evercade platform its first gaming icon in Lara Croft, who continues to drive sales to this day, some 28 years after her first outing. The original games from Derby's Core Design were published by EIDOS and while the Remastered collection came out a couple of months ago, the originals will always warm the resting places of retro gamers.
