GTA 6 – this art might make a good statue (Rockstar Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Wednesday letters page tries to imagine what the PS6<\/a> launch line-up will look like, as one reader is glad about the wait between Persona sequels.<\/p>\n

Early access<\/strong>
So, I see Doom: The Dark Ages<\/a> is another of these games where you can pay for a collector\u2019s edition to play it a few days early. I\u2019m not sure what difference that is supposed to make, especially in a single-player only game, but there\u2019s always someone that will pay for these things.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not complaining but I am wondering what\u2019s going to happen with GTA 6<\/a>. There\u2019s already rumours it\u2019s going to cost \u00a3100<\/a> or more but what are the special editions going to cost? I would bet a lot of money that one of them is going to let you play the game a week early, or whatever, and how much is that going to be? \u00a3150?<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019ll be the super special edition with a statue of Jason and Lucia, for \u00a3300 or something crazy. I\u2019m honestly curious to see how far they\u2019ll push it, and I\u2019m going to guess it\u2019ll be pretty far.

Interactive movies<\/strong>
I noticed the news that Netflix has removed Bandersnatch and all their other interactive shows from the service. I have no idea why you\u2019d want to do that but I\u2019m guessing that means they weren\u2019t as successful as they hoped.<\/p>\n

That surprises me, as I thought Black Mirror: Bandersnatch worked really well, and I don\u2019t usually like these sorts of FMV style games. I\u2019m sure it helps that Charlie Brooker knows his stuff when it comes to games, but I always imagined that that sort of thing would be how video game movies would be handled in the future.<\/p>\n

You already have games like Until Dawn, that are basically semi-interactive movies where the only important things you\u2019re doing is making simple choices. Surely that\u2019d be easy to replicate on a smartphone app when you\u2019re watching a movie. Not for anything good, obviously, but for something dumb like Minecraft I would\u2019ve thought it\u2019d be a good idea.<\/p>\n

Instead, they made a movie of Until Dawn and not only was it not interactive it had almost nothing in common with the game. Maybe it\u2019s all too much effort, when people will go and watch rubbish anyway, but it seems like a missed opportunity to me.

No Redemption<\/strong>
I am glad to see there\u2019s others who never really got the whole GTA phenomenon.<\/p>\n

I also add Red Dead Redemption to this list of games I simply didn\u2019t understand the fascination with.<\/p>\n

I tried several times with Red Dead Redemption as everyone insisted it was amazing, but even zombies couldn\u2019t make it fun for me.<\/p>\n

I am not bothered by the violence, but didn\u2019t find the humour that funny and it felt more like someone trying too hard to be clever and not actually making real social observations.<\/p>\n

I found the missions repetitive and the controls awful.<\/p>\n

Each to their own though.

Launch explosion<\/strong>
I heard from a friend in retail that although Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders have all sold out there should be a big delivery of stock ready for day one purchase in stores (at the big retailers at least – he works for one of Argos distribution centres).<\/p>\n

At time of writing, 4.35pm Tuesday, Very has Switch 2 bundles available but not the console on its own. You can get the Mario Kart World pack with Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom or a Sandisk SD card. Prices around \u00a3477 to \u00a3494.

GC:<\/strong> Thanks for the latter in particular, we credited you in our story about it<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Take your time<\/strong>
It\u2019s crazy how long it takes between Persona sequels<\/a>, but I\u2019m not against it. I\u2019d much rather have five really good games (can\u2019t pretend I\u2019ve played the first two) than a dozen okay or bad ones, but as far as I know Atlus has kept up the quality impressively well over the years.<\/p>\n

I could do without all the spin-offs though. I\u2019m not aware that any of them have ever been any good and I think their time is much better spent on things like Metaphor: ReFantazio, which was excellent. Would much rather have seen a few of those – meaning original games in roughly the same style \u2013 than a bunch of half-assed tactics games and Dynasty Warriors crossovers.

Paying the rent<\/strong>
Interesting discussion of whether the Nintendo Switch 2 is being sold at loss<\/a> and while there doesn\u2019t seem to be any exact agreement it\u2019s obvious they\u2019re not making a massive profit on the console itself.<\/p>\n

I think people often forget that games is all Nintendo do. They\u2019re not Microsoft, or even Sony, where if their games division has a bad generation, they can just lean on something else in the meantime. Making their games and consoles a success, and profitable, is a matter of life and death for Nintendo.<\/p>\n

Before you complain, I\u2019m not trying to excuse Nintendo for the price rises but at least with them I understand them. Especially as they have this \u2018dynamic\u2019 pricing where Mario Kart and Donkey Kong are different prices, so I believe they\u2019re not trying to be too outrageous.<\/p>\n

Obviously, Mario Kart World is more expensive because they know that\u2019s the one everyone wants but I don\u2019t feel like that\u2019s not the most anti-consumer thing they\u2019ve ever done. And certainly not compared to other companies.<\/p>\n

Somewhere, someone at Take-Two is trying to work out what\u2019s the maximum they can charge for GTA 6 and they are not going to care at all if that means lots of people cannot afford it. That doesn\u2019t make sense to me, because surely the more people that can buy it the more money they make. But I guess they figure people are going to be saving up to afford whatever it costs.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think we\u2019re at that stage yet for Nintendo games and hopefully we never will be, but gaming is definitely getting more expensive at the moment.

Pass it forward<\/strong>
After completing Dungeons Of Hinterberg the devs asked me to pass on the message if I enjoyed it. I really liked it and will direct readers to your review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I played it on Game Pass but after being an Xbox Series X\/S console exclusive it came to PlayStation 4 and 5 a few months ago and is \u00a318, I got 20 hours from it. No Switch version, maybe it’ll be on Switch 2 as it seems a perfect fit for the device.
Simundo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Change is coming<\/strong>
Horizon Zero Dawn 3 is obviously coming, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any doubt of that, but what I\u2019m more interested in, from the latest leak<\/a>, is exactly what the PlayStation 6 is going to be. Surely it can\u2019t be just another plastic box to go under the TV? The improvement in graphics is going to be far too small to justify that.<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s a portable but I can\u2019t imagine Sony making their new console less powerful than their previous one. The probably should, but I just don\u2019t think they\u2019re that bold.<\/p>\n

So, are they going to launch their new console and treat it like any other? Will there be two or three first party games, with impressive graphics, and a promise of lots more to come? Because if there was that would be a massive turnaround from how things are at the moment.<\/p>\n

Maybe that is how it\u2019ll be. Maybe they\u2019ll just pretend this half of the generation never happened and they\u2019ll just carry on like before. I\u2019d welcome it, and it\u2019s not like they do interviews or anything anymore, to explain themselves or be confronted for their bad decisions.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what route they\u2019ll choose but at this point anything they do is going to come across as strange and out of character. How can Sony be so dominant and yet seem so out of control, all at the same time?

What a horrible story, selling your friend a Switch 2 for \u00a3600<\/a>. I wouldn’t dream of ripping off any friends, I would just let them have the pre-order for the price I paid. More to life than money, the guy has questionable morals!
Anon<\/strong><\/p>\n

GC: <\/strong>Isn\u2019t that for his friend to decide?<\/em><\/p>\n

Although I understand the reader complaining about FromSoftware making too many multiplayer games I think we\u2019ve just got to accept that\u2019s what they want to do at the moment. We really shouldn\u2019t be complaining that developers are making something they\u2019re passionate about, rather than an easy sequel.
