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...

Metal Mack, a Mega Drive and Neo Geo run-and-gun, funding on Kickstarter

The Metal Mack Story

The world of the future is in peril! Professor Photon, a super scientific genius who invented helper bots, has to fix the problem. Mack, the professor's most uniquely original and advanced android, has volunteered to be converted into a fighting robot!

Delivery is planned for Summer 2027, so get backing and hope the world doesn't end before then!
