It's no secret that gamers are eagerly anticipating the release of GTA 6 and Borderlands 4. The discussion has been heating up, with some readers even speculating about the release date of the next generation consoles. In fact, one reader wrote in, excited about the possibility of a new Mario Kart game.
But something interesting caught my attention in the letters page this week. It seems like Gearbox, the company behind Borderlands 4, is trying to pull a fast one on us with their "reverse delay" tactic. Let's be real here, the only reason they would change the release date is to avoid competing with GTA 6. And let's not forget the fact that changing the date also means changing all their marketing plans, which is a huge hassle for no real benefit. It's pretty clear that GTA 6 is coming out this year, and most likely in late September or early October.
Some readers have raised the question of whether or not the new consoles are coming out too soon. I mean, the Switch will only be eight years old when it's replaced, and it has already given us so many amazing games. But as much as we love our consoles, let's face it, technology is constantly advancing and it's only a matter of time before they become outdated. Speaking of new consoles, there have been rumors about a potential Switch 2 and how it might be released before the new consoles. But, as much as we'd love to believe that it's because of GTA 6, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
It's clear that the current generation of consoles is reaching its limit, and it's time for something new. But what can we expect from the PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox? Will there even be any significant improvements in graphics? And what about the rumored handheld version of the PlayStation 5? It all feels a bit underwhelming. It's not entirely Sony's fault, but it does raise the question of whether or not they will focus on games, like Nintendo does, or if they'll try to outdo each other with gimmicks and price increases.
On a different note, one reader shared their experience with pre-ordering the Switch 2. It seems like the easiest option was to go into a physical store and pay, as opposed to trying to secure one online. But, unfortunately, pre-orders are now sold out. Another reader recommended a website for tracking game prices, which could come in handy for those looking for a good deal on Golf Story.
In the end, it's all about the games. And while we're all eagerly awaiting the release of new consoles and games, let's not forget to enjoy what we have now. Who knows, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised by what the future holds. In the meantime, let's keep the discussions going and enjoy the amazing games that are already out there.
Possible Human-like Rewrite:
After reading the Wednesday letters page, it seems like many people are skeptical about the release of the PS6 and the next gen Xbox in 2027. One reader even expressed their excitement for the potential release of Mario Kart World. If you want to join in on the discussions, feel free to email us at the given email address.
But let's talk about the big news that's been making waves recently – the release date for GTA 6. There's been a lot of speculation about it, especially with the recent announcement from Gearbox regarding the 'reverse delay' for Borderlands 4. Many believe that this change in release date was due to the highly anticipated launch of GTA 6. After all, what difference would 11 days make if the game was ahead of schedule?
It's clear that this change in release date has caused a lot of inconvenience for Gearbox. Not only do they have to change their marketing plans, but they also have to ensure that fans and retailers are aware of the new release date. And for what? Zero benefit. It's obvious that this decision was made because of the pressure from the upcoming release of GTA 6.
So, it's safe to say that GTA 6 will be coming out this year, most likely in late September or early October. Some believe it might even be a bit later than that, but it doesn't matter. Once GTA 6 is out, no one will be playing Borderlands 4. It's just not going to be able to compete with the hype and excitement surrounding GTA 6.
But let's not forget about Nintendo. It seems like they're also trying to avoid clashing with the release of GTA 6. And it's not just game developers – even Nintendo is steering clear of the chaos. Some believe that this could be a strategic move to make way for the release of GTA 6 on the rumored Switch 2. If that's the case, then Nintendo will most likely release their new console a few months before GTA 6 to avoid any competition.
But let's shift the focus from GTA 6 for a moment and talk about the future of gaming consoles. There's a lot of talk about the PlayStation 6 and the new Xbox, but many believe that these consoles are being released too soon. After all, the Switch will only be eight years old when it's replaced, and it has already achieved so much success. With classic after classic and top-notch hardware, it's clear that the Switch needed to be replaced.
But what about the PlayStation 6? What new features will it offer? Many doubt that there will be any significant improvements in graphics, and we're not at the point of plugging consoles into our brains yet. So, what's the point? According to rumors, Sony might also release a handheld device, but it seems like it will just be a cut-down version of the PlayStation 5 with remote play capabilities. It's not entirely Sony's fault, but it's clear that we've reached the end of what can be done with affordable hardware.
In an ideal world, this would mean that companies would focus on creating amazing games, just like Nintendo does. But it's not that simple. Sony and Microsoft are always looking for the next big thing, and Sony, in particular, has a history of implementing gimmicks and increasing prices. This might push more people towards PCs as a gaming platform.
Now, let's switch gears and talk about a different topic – pre-orders for the Switch 2. One reader shared their experience of pre-ordering three Switch 2s – one for themselves and two for their children. They found that purchasing from physical stores, like Currys, was the easiest and most convenient option. Unfortunately, all pre-orders are now sold out.
In other news, for those looking to buy Golf Story at a good price, there's a website called Deku Deals that tracks the prices of both digital and physical games. According to the website, Golf Story goes on sale quite frequently, so you might be able to snag a good deal once you have your Switch 2. It's always helpful to check this website to see if a game goes on sale often and what kind of discount you can expect.
