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.

First up is Activision Collection 1, as console cart 47 finally bringing the classic Atari 2600-era titles to Evercade with the joys of BeamRider, Enduro, River Raid and Pitfall among 15 titles, arriving in November.

And then we have The Llamasoft Collection (Computer cart 10) bringing a staggering 27 of Jeff Minter's legendary udder-obsessed games across most home computer formats stretching from the VIC-20 to the Atari ST. This cart includes legendary titles like Gridrunner, Attack of the Mutant Camels and Llamatron 2112, Voidrunner and Hover Bovver, with some variants.

This too hits in November, with a bust festive season lined up for Evercade owners, whatever version of the system they have.
