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...

id's Doom comes storming to Evercade

There I was tidying up the Evercade release list, wondering when the 2026 news would start dripping out. 

And then this little teaser gem from the Evercade team pops up, helping celebrate the 35th anniversary of ID Software, and its PC ground-shattering opus.

  • How many games from the series will the cart feature? 
  • Whether it will include NIN's music? 
  • Or be loaded with some of the best mods? 

All we have is a 2026 release window (update: apparently October), but every platform deserves Doom and it should be an exploding barrel of fun, however you enjoy your Evercade, thanks to the legendary team's iconic efforts. 

I remember the shareware version on my little old 386 DX-40MHz, then the Jag edition and many revisits since. At LAN parties, late nights in the office, or retro revisits, each a fun wade into the bloody world that remains a giant totem across all gaming. One more time can't hurt me plenty, right?
