Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  Update: the Vectrex Kickstarter is live and blew past its first funding goal in ab out 15 minutes, and approaching £450K and 2,500 backers in its first day.   His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

PS5-less streaming escapes beta on PlayStation Portal

 A fresh update for PlayStation Portal goes live in the coming hours, freeing the handheld from the shackles of its PS5 master connection. 

The update (which has been in a limited beta over the year) changes the interface and user experience with a new: 

Remote Play home screen: Connect to a PS5 console paired with the PS Portal to enjoy games installed on that console. A PlayStation Plus membership is not required for Remote Play.

Cloud Streaming home screen: A new dedicated home screen for Cloud Streaming allows PlayStation Plus Premium members to instantly stream a range of compatible PS5 games without waiting for downloads.

Search screen: Quickly look up any game that supports Cloud Streaming. If you don’t have the entitlement to stream a game, a QR code will be displayed to direct you to the PlayStation App or to a web browser on another device.

PlayStation Portal

The upshot for PS Plus Premium users is that the latest games like Astro Bot, Borderlands 4, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Ghost of Yōtei, Grand Theft Auto V and hundreds more. 

That includes games from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog can be played directly without being installed on your PS5. 

PlayStation Portal

A little more detail on the PS blog. As the PlayStation Portal approaches its second birthday, let's hope Sony continues to market this major underground success story, and provide more updates to add extra features.
