Resident Evil Requiem is set to be released soon and the anticipation is building. Fans are eagerly awaiting the reveal of Pokémon Gen X, and one reader has even imagined a crossover game between Half-Life and Portal. Meanwhile, the Games Inbox is filled with interesting discussions from our readers, covering a range of topics in the gaming world.
A reader shares his most anticipated games of the year, which surprisingly do not include the much-awaited GTA 6. Instead, they are looking forward to titles like Saros, Marvel's Wolverine, and Fable. However, the game they are most excited for is Resident Evil Requiem, which will be out soon. With promising previews and a strong marketing campaign, it seems like this game will not disappoint.
Another reader points out the potential consequences of the PlayStation 6 being delayed until 2029. With no new consoles to sell, gaming companies may struggle to increase their profits. This could be especially problematic for Nintendo, who have recently launched a new console. The reader also mentions the possibility of companies increasing prices to make up for the loss, which could negatively impact gamers.
As we celebrate many gaming anniversaries this year, one reader is surprised to find that Uncharted 4 is already 10 years old. They praise the game's action-packed gameplay and express disappointment that no other game has been able to match its quality. They also mention the lack of a Portal 3, which they believe could have been a great crossover game with Half-Life.
In the midst of all the excitement for upcoming games, a reader mentions a lesser-known title, ChromaGun 2, which they plan on trying out. They also express their longing for a new Portal game and speculate on the possibility of a crossover with Half-Life. However, they have doubts about Valve ever releasing a new game, given the long hiatus since their last release.
Another reader shares their hope for a re-release of Resident Evil Outbreak and wishes that the game had an online feature upon its initial release. They also express their interest in the upcoming Pokémon Gen X and hope that it will live up to its legacy.
Finally, a reader discusses the current state of the Pokémon franchise and its lack of hype compared to previous years. They hope that the upcoming Pokémon Presents will spark interest in the franchise once again, especially for the younger generation who may not be familiar with the games. They also share their experience of introducing their child to Pokémon and eagerly await their reaction to the upcoming announcements.
Resident Evil Requiem is almost here and I can hardly contain my excitement. I've been eagerly awaiting its release, and it seems like I'm not the only one. In fact, the Wednesday letters page is buzzing with anticipation for the reveal of Pokémon Gen X this month. One reader even shared their vision for a potential crossover game between Half-Life and Portal.

While many are hyped for the highly anticipated GTA 6, I can't help but feel more excited for other games like Saros, Marvel's Wolverine, and even Fable. And personally, the game I'm most looking forward to this year is Resident Evil Requiem, which is coming out very soon. With all the positive previews and Capcom's impressive marketing, I have no doubt that it will be worth getting. I just hope I don't accidentally stumble upon any spoilers this week, as I've noticed copies are already out in the wild.
However, it seems like the gaming world might face a bit of a crisis in the near future. With the delay of PlayStation 6 until 2029, it also means that there will be no new consoles to sell - including PlayStation 5s. This could potentially lead to a gaming apocalypse, with companies struggling to sell games to their existing base. And while increasing prices might seem like a solution, it's not a good idea in this situation. It's a difficult predicament for all companies involved, and I'm sure they'll try to make us pay for it one way or another. Plus, with the launch of GTA 6, they'll miss out on a lot of new business.
On the topic of anniversaries, I can't believe it's been 10 years since the release of Uncharted 4. It may not be as big as Zelda or Resident Evil, but it's still a significant milestone. And even after all these years, I still believe it's one of the best action games out there. I haven't seen any other game come close to its level of peak action gaming, and it's a shame that no one has attempted to make a new game that can surpass it. Maybe the new Tomb Raider game will be able to take the crown, but it's a tough feat to achieve.
Moving on to other games, I might check out ChromaGun 2 since it's cheap and I've never heard of it before. However, I can't help but miss Portal. I've heard rumors about Valve not making games anymore, and while some hope for the release of Half-Life 3, I've never heard of anyone wishing for a Portal 3. It's a shame that they didn't continue the series, especially since it's not easy to find talented writers who can create comedy like Portal's. I always thought there would be a crossover game between Gordon Freeman and Chell, but now I doubt it will ever happen. And with the slow pace at which Valve is making games, it's not impossible that Gabe Newell will pass away before anything significant is released.
Speaking of reviving old games, I was hoping that Capcom would re-release Resident Evil Outbreak in some form to promote Resident Evil Requiem and introduce who Alyssa Ashcroft is. I always wanted to play the game online, but sadly, it didn't have that feature when it was first released in Europe. Maybe it wasn't as well-received as other multiplayer Resident Evil games, but it definitely sounded more intriguing to me.
And finally, as a parent, I'm excited about the potential reveal of Pokémon Gen X this month. My kid is finally at the age where they can appreciate and play Pokémon games, and I'm curious to see what they think of the upcoming Pokémon Presents. I hope Nintendo goes all out for the 30th anniversary and creates something more than just an easy cash-in. It's a shame that Pokémon has become more of a cash cow than a beloved game franchise, and I hope they can change that with their next release.
