Early December is just around the corner and the Tuesday letters page is buzzing with excitement. One reader is particularly passionate about the prospect of Insomniac creating a Marvel Game Universe. To join in the discussion, email email to have your say.
The 8th of December marks the start of the month and it's no surprise that the hype for GTA 6 is slowly building. This is due to Rockstar's unpredictability as to when the reveal will take place. Many have speculated whether the trailer will debut at The Game Awards or not. Personally, I don't think it will as Rockstar prefers to keep their distance from other companies. If it was going to be there, they would have made sure to let people know and capitalize on the potential viewership.
On the other hand, I'm really enjoying Super Mario RPG. I had tried it before on the Wii Virtual Console but the graphics weren't quite up to scratch. After a while however, I decided to give it another chance and I'm really glad I did. It was short and sweet. It was the perfect length for a game, not too long to get bored or forget the story, and I wished there was more by the end. I'd love to see more games like this, especially the role-playing genre.
I'm also a Capcom fan, but I don't really enjoy Monster Hunter. I understand that it gives them the money to produce other games I do enjoy, so I'm all in favour of it. I'm excited to see what comes after Monster Hunter, as it will probably be something interesting.
Finally, the success of Spider-Man 2 has left me wondering what Insomniac's plans are for a Marvel Game Universe. It could be a great idea, but they need to be careful not to push their luck too much. Marvel movies have shown that it can be done, but they need to be careful that it doesn't all fall apart.
I'm also surprised to see how recent games like Spider-Man 2 were discounted during Black Friday. Publishers love their day one hype, but it's too hard to ignore the £10-15 discounts that come with waiting. I know I won't be buying any new games that come out after September.
Finally, I've just realised that Nintendo is classing Mario Kart Tour on mobile as Mario Kart 9. It makes sense, and it's a nice surprise.
Early December is nearly here, and with it comes the enthusiasm of the gaming community. People everywhere have been buzzing with excitement, speculating on what big game announcements we'll see this month.
At the forefront of everyone's minds is undoubtedly GTA 6. It's been a while since we've heard anything from Rockstar, so people have been eagerly anticipating the reveal of the next installment in the series. Will it be at The Game Awards? Could the announcement be any day now? No one knows for sure, but the rumor mill is in full swing.
There's more to the gaming world than just the big AAA titles, of course. Super Mario RPG is a great example of a smaller game that still manages to capture our hearts. It's a charming 16-bit RPG that manages to be short and sweet without feeling rushed. It's a welcome reminder of the days when RPGs weren't bloated 100-hour epics.
Another popular franchise that's been making waves is Monster Hunter. While it's not my personal favorite, I can definitely see why it's so successful. It's a money maker for Capcom, and that's what allows them to make the games we love.
The Marvel Gamme Universe has also been on everyone's minds lately. Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 is an amazing success, and the DLC will be featuring Daredevil. Plus, there's been a lot of speculation as to what comes next. Will Insomniac expand beyond the usual popular characters and attempt a full-fledged Marvel Game Universe, or is it too risky?
Finally, there's the Black Friday deals that have been going on. Games like Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Modern Warfare 3 have all been discounted, and it's been a great opportunity to get some great games at a great price. Will we see more of this next year, or will publishers start to push back against the trend of waiting for Black Friday?
We may not have all the answers just yet, but one thing is certain: December is sure to be an exciting month in the gaming world!
