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.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement. But, PlayStation needs to make Portal more a core member of the PS5 family, rather than the 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 the mighty Vita, that'd be coo...

Vita's Fate/Stay Night remastered for Switch

The Vita continues to provide a steady diet for today's consoles with a remaster of Fate/Stay Night Réalta Nua heading to the Switch and Steam via Type Moon This marks the first time the visual novel is available in English, arriving August 8th, and also Simplified Chinese for that massive market.

Original article continues... Ghostlight brought many of the Fate games over the PSP back in the day, with Marvelous taking over the mantle with the Extra/Extella action series in the Vita era. The remaster hits on the 8th August, with a price around $/£30. A remastered version of Fate/stay night, the fantasy action drama visual novel and Type Moon's first-ever commercial release in 2004, is back in time for its 20th anniversary.

The full HD graphics help tell the story of Shirou Emiya, a teenager dreaming of becoming a Hero of Justice, and his battle revolving around the omnipotent wish-granting vessel, the Holy Grail. Not hard to imagine other games in the series being dusted off if this does decent business. 


Note the console version of the Fate/Stay Night series dropped the PC's adult themes for more detailed stories and characters, but I guess some players will still moan about the shift.
