PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development 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.

Gundam escapes from Japanese Vita exclusivity to Switch

Hot on the heels of Freedom Wars, Namco has another Vita refugee ready to escape into the wider gaming world. 

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny was a Japanese Vita exclusive from way back in 2012. It escapes both Japan and the Vita with a western Switch release, arriving May. 

The remaster brings the perky little anime crew and their massive mechs to a fresh audience, with updated HD visuals, English localisation, an improved interface, target lock-on mode and more. 

For the uninitiated, SEED = Superior Evolutionary Element Destined-factor and GUNDAM = General Unilateral Neurolink Dispersive Automatic Manoeuvre, proving that sci-fi folks are really terrible at acronyms. 


The original made use of the Vita's touchscreens, something that has been likely been trimmed for the Switch and PC release via the new lock-on mode. 

From the release, or watch the video: "As a soldier in volatile times, players must choose from one of the three factions– Earth Alliance, Z.A.F.T or Archangel to fight alongside in various story missions based on the series’ iconic moments such as Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny as well as side stories including Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73: STARGAZER and more. With over 100 different mobile suits to choose from, players can tune their mechs to engage in thrilling, action-packed Gundam battles."
