Our eyes are yet to open, to a remaster (Sony Interactive Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Tuesday letters page doesn\u2019t think the God Of War<\/a> series has many stories left to tell, as one reader wonders when Final Fantasy<\/a> 17 will be announced.<\/p>\n

Praise the old blood<\/strong>
Just to highlight a non \u2018trivial\u2019 birthday, but it was the 10th anniversary of Bloodborne<\/a> on Monday. That\u2019s right, it\u2019s been 10 years since the best PlayStation exclusive, which Sony<\/a> has completely ignored ever since and barely seems to want to acknowledge exists.<\/p>\n

I did hold out a smidgen of hope that they might say something today but it\u2019s 6pm and there\u2019s been nothing. Tweets about Indiana Jones<\/a> and God Of War<\/a> and a bunch of others but not a word about FromSoftware\u2019s greatest achievement.<\/p>\n

What is it with this game, that Sony wants to pretend it never happened? I know no-one here has the answer but it\u2019s just baffling and I wish it would stop because I want the PlayStation 5<\/a> patch, I want a remaster, and eventually I want a remake.<\/p>\n

Although to be honest it doesn\u2019t really need a remake. It\u2019s still amazing to playthrough today and I highly recommend it to everyone. Welcome home, good hunter.

Made for Switch 2<\/strong>
Thinking about what third party games might be announced during the Switch 2 Direct I wondered whether it was too early to hear about Final Fantasy 17 yet. I\u2019m sure the launch is a long way off, but it strikes me as the sort of thing Nintendo would be keen to promote as coming back to their consoles.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll probably just stick with ports of the Final Fantasy 7 remakes, but I wonder if the next mainline sequel will also be on Switch 2. We know Square Enix want things to be multiformat from now on, so I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll be on PC and Xbox Series X\/S, but will it be able to run on the Switch 2?<\/p>\n

If the Switch 2 can\u2019t run it, because it\u2019s not powerful enough, would Square Enix simplify the game for all formats, in order to fit it on? If the Switch 2 is a runaway hit, and they have enough advance warning of that, it\u2019s got to be possibility and one that a lot of fans won\u2019t like.

Hors d’oeuvre Direct<\/strong>
I find it hard to believe that Nintendo is going to have another Direct this week<\/a>, just a week before one of the biggest events in their history. Surely they\u2019d be worried that less clued-up people would assume this week\u2019s was the big one and leave very confused, assuming it\u2019s only about minor Switch 1 games.<\/p>\n

I can easily believe they\u2019re going to port some old 3DS Kirby game but I find it harder to imagine that they\u2019ve got some fan service sequel to a forgotten series on the boil, much as I\u2019d love that to be true. I heard one person suggest it could be that Fire Emblem remake they\u2019ve apparently had ready to go for ages. That is believable too, but Fire Emblem is hardly a forgotten franchise. Maybe some wires got crossed and they just meant lower profile than Mario and Zelda.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really mind, as long as the Switch 2 reveal doesn\u2019t disappoint. I\u2019m hoping for a lot from next week.

Kart it off<\/strong>
Speaking of games that do or don\u2019t get cloned a lot, I agree it is interesting the seemingly random way publishers choose what to copy and what not to. There\u2019s never any Animal Crossing or Zelda clones, and barely any Mario ones nowadays, but for a while there you couldn\u2019t move for Mario Kart clones.<\/p>\n

I know in theory they must be easier to make but only in theory. Apart from Crash Bandicoot and, to a degree, Sonic, which were made by proper developers, I can\u2019t think of any Mario Kart clones that were successful, simply because they never play as well as the real thing.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d say I\u2019m curious to know who Warner Bros. would\u2019ve put in their cancelled one but I\u2019m going to guess it was the cast of MultiVersus. So Batman vs. Bugs Bunny vs. Arya Stark. Yeah, I can live without that.
