GTA 6 is one of the most highly anticipated games in recent history. With Take-Two's comments that the game is coming out next year, it's clear that the game of the forever is nearly here.
The Thursday letters page recently discussed the director of Tekken 8, Io Interactive's Project 007, and the entitlement of some gamers. It's great to see the director standing up to fans, but it's important to remember that developers are trying to make the game they want, not the one you want.
The Red Dead Redemption situation is also shocking - the game is still £25 on the Xbox store, yet it would be more difficult to find it for more than £10 in an actual shop. It's a grim sign of things to come - games staying at an inflated price even a decade or more after they're released, only going cheap for a few days a year during the sale.
The same issue applies to Diablo 4, which many readers have complained about. It's become too much like hard work, boring and repetitive, with no plan about what to do after you've beaten the main story. It's a shame, as these live service games can provide a lot of enjoyment if done correctly.
Io Interactive's Bond game is something I'm looking forward to, as they have the right sense of campy humour for the material. It's also a great pick for a Bond game, as they've shown that they can handle the combination of humour and seriousness.
Finally, the Reader's Feature making the case for the PlayStation 6 to be a hybrid like the Switch was interesting. However, I don't think there is any realistic demand for the PlayStation 6 to be a hybrid, as Sony and Microsoft are in an arms race to make each new gen more powerful than the last.

GTA 6 is coming and it's going to be big! The Thursday letters page is delighted that Tekken 8’s director is listening to fans' feedback and readers are eagerly awaiting Io Interactive’s Project 007. If you'd like to join the discussion, just send an email.
The calm before the storm is almost over. Take-Two's comments seem to suggest that GTA 6 will be out next year, and it looks like Bioshock 4 won't be able to compete in terms of success. It's hard to believe that the much-anticipated game is so close and that it's still shrouded in mystery. But when it's finally released, it's going to be the biggest game ever.
GTA 5 has already sold more copies than most publishers have achieved in their entire history and when the sequel arrives, it will have a massive existing fan base, plus new fans. I'm sure GTA 6 will eventually become the best-selling game of all time. But I doubt we'll see GTA 7 for at least 15 years.
I'm all for the director of Tekken 8 standing up to disgruntled gamers. The gaming community needs to stop this entitled attitude before it escalates into something more sinister. If you don't like a game before it has even been released, then you're not entitled to anything. Developers should be allowed to make the game they want, not the one you want.
It's outrageous that Red Dead Redemption is still being sold for £40, especially when it's cheaper on the Xbox store. It's a sign of what's to come, where games stay expensive even years after their release, only going on sale once in a blue moon.
It's a shame that Diablo 4 has been receiving such negative feedback. It's not easy to plan for the future of a live service game, but developers should still have some kind of strategy in place for what comes after the main story. It's a lesson that should have been learned from the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
People are looking forward to seeing what Io Interactive will do with their Bond game. It'll be interesting to see if they can create a game that captures the wit and humour of the films. GoldenEye 007 was great, but it was more of a shooter than a Bond game.
The Reader's Feature about a hybrid PlayStation 6 was thought-provoking. It's unclear how much of the PS5's size and design is due to the need for a disc drive, and Sony have already made handheld systems before, with the PS Vita being quietly retired. Also, Sony and Microsoft are more focused on making the next gen more powerful than the last, which is evident from the marketing of Starfield.
Lastly, is The Witcher 3 on PlayStation 5 working properly now?
