Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   There's a PlayStation State of Play coming up on 12th February that might act as an announcement point. Certainly, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than a distant cousin that most of its appearances suggest.  As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of ...

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.
