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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   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 cool.

Freedom Wars counts down the years in Remaster opening trailer

Announced back in September, Freedom Wars Remastered is on its way from the Vita to surviving platforms early next year. On the 13th anniversary of the Japanese Vita launch, Sony is treating us to a PlayStation specific opening cinematic, showing off all the natty visual enhancements and laying down the plot, literally by the numbers, for the few non-Vita owners out there.

Freedom Wars Remastered from Namco is also on the way to Switch and Steam, but I guess the bulk of interest will be on the PlayStation where the game feels right at home for the armies of God Eater and OG Monster Hunter players. Battling giant mechanoid creatures in the wastelands between the Panopticon cities, Freedom Wars was perfect for tight tactical multiplayer battles, and hopefully nothing has changed this time around as players try to carve the years off their prison sentences. Original review, still on the Vita PSN for £19.99. 


The release is only a few weeks away across the 9th or 10th of January - see you in the badlands!
