June 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 .  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. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

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.

Update: Continuing the Fate news barrage, Fate/Extra Record, a remake of the PSP combat title will hit PS5 and PS4, Switch, & Steam at some point in 2025. Set during the Holy Grail War, it ups the action with dungeon exploring preceding tournament battles (video below).


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. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
