Netflix and chill with GTA 6, anyone? The Friday letters page is abuzz with speculation about what will happen if Gears Of War: E-Day and Fable don't live up to expectations. One reader even hopes for a Dino Crisis reboot after the success of Onimusha.
But let's shift our focus to the Games Inbox, where our readers share their thoughts and opinions on all things gaming. We invite you to join in on the discussions by emailing us at email. Let's dive in!
As seen on TV, we finally have a date for the highly anticipated announcement of GTA 6. While it would have been nice to know more about the Netflix show, we can only assume it will feature celebrities as voiceovers and plenty of gameplay footage. We hope it will be at least an hour-long, with a solid 20 minutes of gameplay.
Our guess is that they will also talk about GTA Online 2, or whatever they decide to call it. Although it may not be available at launch, we believe Rockstar is holding off to give players a chance to experience the story mode first. They want players to get comfortable with the controls and mechanics before diving into the online world.
And let's be honest, if online is available from the start, who would bother with the story mode? We suspect Take-Two is eager to get those microtransactions rolling, but Rockstar is proud of their single-player modes and wants to give them a chance to shine. Moving on to a different topic, one reader expresses their frustration with Sony's decision to go all-digital with the PlayStation 5.
They feel like they have no choice but to either accept it or switch to PC or the rumored Switch 2. It's a tough situation, and they resent Sony for not consulting with players before making the decision. In other news, we have high hopes for the upcoming Onimusha: Way Of The Sword.
Not only are we excited for the game itself, but we see it as a potential gateway to a comeback for Dino Crisis. Capcom has been teasing fans with Exoprimal, but we believe Onimusha could convince them to finally bring back Dino Crisis. Of course, we also need a new Devil May Cry, but that's a given.
Speaking of games, one reader shares their thoughts on Wasteland 3. They are close to finishing the game and have enjoyed it for the most part, despite a few glitches. They hope for a continuation of the series and wonder if there has been any news of a sequel.
We are also curious to see what's next for the developer, inXile. On the other hand, we have a reader who regrets buying Halo: Combat Evolved after experiencing issues with Microsoft account pairing. They wish they had known about these problems beforehand and feel like they have wasted their money.
Lesson learned: do your research before buying a game. Finally, one reader expresses their excitement for the upcoming extended look at GTA 6 on Netflix. They believe that Netflix must have paid a hefty sum for this exclusive content and hope it won't get leaked early.
We'll just have to wait and see what the fuss is all about on August 27. That's all for this week's Games Inbox. Don't forget to add us as a Preferred Source on Google to ensure you never miss our articles.
Happy gaming! Are you up for a relaxing evening of Netflix and chilling while playing GTA 6? Well, the Friday letters page has a different topic in mind.
They are wondering what will happen if Gears Of War: E-Day and Fable end up as flops. One reader is hoping for the reboot of Dino Crisis by Capcom after the success of Onimusha. The Games Inbox section is a collection of our reader's opinions, comments, and letters.
If you want to join in on the discussions, don't hesitate to email us. Finally, we have some news about the highly anticipated GTA 6. It seems like there will be an announcement soon, and we even have a bit of a hint.
It would have been nice if they also revealed what the Netflix show will be about. But based on what you said, it's probably going to be a bunch of celebrities who will also be featured as voiceovers in the game. I'm assuming the show will consist of them praising the game and showing some gameplay footage.
If it's an hour-long, I hope we get at least 20 minutes of gameplay. Anything less would be a disappointment. My guess is that they will also talk about GTA Online 2, or whatever they decide to name it.
Even if it's not available at launch, I don't think they want to miss out on the opportunity to hype it up. Just like they did with Red Dead Redemption 2, where they delayed the online feature to give players a chance to experience the story first. I have a feeling that Take-Two wants to start rolling out microtransactions as soon as possible, but Rockstar takes pride in their single-player modes.
So, I think they will give it some time to shine before diving into the online aspect. Moving on to a different topic, it seems like Sony has made a decision to go all-digital with their PlayStation 5 consoles. The sticker on the box makes it clear that they are not giving up on this idea.
They don't seem interested in what we, the players, think and will not change their minds anytime soon. So, our only options are to either accept it or switch to a PC or the rumored Switch 2. There really isn't anything else that we can do at this point.
I know I'm not particularly excited about either of these options, but I'm also not interested in Wolverine or Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. So, maybe I won't be missing out on much. But, I have to say, I'm quite disappointed in Sony for not only making this decision but also for the way they handled it.
They basically just dumped it on us and left. As GameCentral mentioned, there's no conversation going on here. On a more positive note, I am excited about the potential return of Dino Crisis with the release of Onimusha: Way Of The Sword.
Capcom has been teasing us with the possibility of a reboot for years now, even trolling us with Exoprimal. But, if Onimusha does well, then it's only logical for them to bring back Dino Crisis. Of course, we also need a new Devil May Cry, but I think there might be some issues with that franchise.
Hopefully, Onimusha's success will convince them to revive Dino Crisis. Have any of you played Wasteland 3 yet? I'm close to finishing it, and I have to say, it's been a fun ride with only a few glitches here and there.
It took me four years to get this far, but I wouldn't mind a continuation of the series. Has there been any news about a sequel? I think the game has improved a lot compared to its predecessor, which was quite old school.
It's now the fourth game in the series, and I think it's even better than the previous ones. As for PlayStation 4 games, I have re-bought some of them on Xbox and would like to offer them to our readers who haven't played them yet. So, if you're interested, let us know!
The games are Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War, Far Cry 5, and Far Cry Primal. Unfortunately, it seems like I won't be playing Halo: Campaign Evolved anytime soon. After trying to create a new Hotmail account, I got blocked for suspicious activity.
I even tried using someone else's account, but it seems like it's now linked to mine. So, I had to reset my security, which means I have to wait 30 days. Lesson learned, I should have stuck to my guns and not bought the game in the first place.
Moving on to the topic of games of the year, I'm surprised to see Big Walk getting such good reviews. The trailers didn't impress me, but as you mentioned in your review, they weren't that great. However, I think GTA 6 will still top the list by the end of the year, whether it deserves it or not.
It's a shame that it will overshadow all the other great games that have been released this year. Despite all the layoffs and publishers acting awful, this year has been great for games. It's quite ironic that developers can still create amazing games under such conditions.
It's worth noting that a lot of the best games are either Japanese or indie. I wonder what will happen if Gears Of War: E-Day and Fable end up as flops. Halo has already stumbled this year, and if more of Xbox's big names fail, I think that's when they will pull the plug on everything.
It's evident that PlayStation owners don't really care about Halo, so it's not a good sign for Xbox. Forza Horizon 6 might do better, but where's the advertising for it? If Microsoft hasn't already canceled it, it seems like they're trying to make it seem like they have.
On the other hand, if E-Day does well as an Xbox exclusive, does that mean everything else will be exclusive in the future? At this point, I have no idea what's going on, and everything seems to be a mess. Lastly, the extended look for GTA 6 on Netflix is just around the corner.
I'm curious if it will be the long-awaited Trailer 3 or three minutes of what we've already seen and 57 minutes of them talking about how great and exciting the game is. One thing is for sure, Netflix must have paid a pretty penny for this show. I doubt it will be leaked early because it will cost Take-Two a lot if it does.
