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.

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.
