Have you ever thought about whether or not a remaster or remake of Red Dead Revolver would be worth playing? I can't help but wonder why Rockstar Games hasn't attempted to do so. Despite being quite different from their other games, I remember it being a fun shooter. It's definitely a title that holds a special place in the hearts of Red Dead fans and I'm sure they would jump at the chance to experience it again. And if Rockstar isn't satisfied with the game's quality anymore, why not remake it and improve upon it?
But beyond that, I miss the days when Rockstar used to release smaller, more experimental games. Games like Table Tennis, The Warriors, and Manhunt. It seemed like they enjoyed taking a break from their bigger projects and just having fun with these smaller titles.
I believe all publishers could benefit from following suit. Instead of constantly focusing on AAA games, why not give developers the opportunity to create something new and unique in between larger releases? Not only would this result in more interesting games, but it would also be a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Moving on to other discussions, I completely agree with the reader who believes that the Nintendo Switch has earned the title of the best console ever. Of course, comparing it to older consoles like the SNES or newer ones like the PlayStation 4 is a bit pointless. However, in my opinion, the Switch has excelled in every aspect. Its innovative design, top-notch exclusives, reasonable price, and lack of major drawbacks make it a standout console in my eyes.
I have no doubt that it will go down in history as one of the most successful consoles of all time, and I'm eagerly anticipating the release of the Switch 2. Although we can't predict how well it will do, I can guarantee that if it doesn't live up to expectations, people will be quick to claim that Nintendo is doomed and can no longer compete. Yet, we've seen this happen before and Nintendo has always managed to bounce back with a hit console.
On a slightly different note, I've noticed that some people still view Nintendo as a console solely for kids. As someone who has grown up with Nintendo, I can't help but disagree. Sure, their games may have a more family-friendly appeal, but that doesn't make them any less enjoyable for adults. And when it comes to graphics, it's not always about having the most realistic or advanced visuals. Nintendo has always prioritized gameplay and fun over flashy graphics, and for many of us, that's what truly matters.
Lastly, I want to applaud the decision to not give Metro Awakening a review score. It's frustrating to see publishers rush out broken games, without any consideration for the players. It's a short-sighted approach that only leads to disappointment and distrust from consumers. I hope more publishers start prioritizing quality over meeting internal deadlines or pleasing executives.
And speaking of sales, I'm glad to see that the Switch is still going strong, even after all this time. If Nintendo continues to market and sell it alongside the Switch 2, I wouldn't be surprised if it surpasses the PlayStation 2's record of 155 million sales. While the PS2 was a legendary console, it's important to note that a significant portion of its sales were due to its DVD functionality. The Switch, on the other hand, has solely relied on its games to attract buyers, which is a testament to its success as a gaming console.
In conclusion, I believe the Switch has a strong claim to being the greatest console of all time. As someone who has owned it since its release, I can attest to its versatility and ability to constantly provide new and enjoyable experiences. It's a console that I plan on keeping in my living room for a long time to come.
Have you ever thought about the possibility of a remaster or remake for Red Dead Revolver? I can't help but wonder why Rockstar Games hasn't made any attempts to do so. While it may be a different game compared to their others, I remember it being a fun shooter and I'm sure many Red Dead fans would love to play it again. And if Rockstar feels it's not up to par anymore, why not remake it and improve upon it?
I miss the days when Rockstar would make smaller, experimental games. The days of Table Tennis, The Warriors, and Manhunt. It seemed like they enjoyed the idea of creating these smaller games in between their big releases, almost as if they were just taking a break and having fun. I believe all publishers should follow suit. Instead of constantly focusing on AAA games, why not give developers the chance to create something new and unique in between the big releases? This would not only provide a break for developers, but also result in more interesting and diverse games.
Moving on to the letters page, there's a lot of talk about the future of Nintendo and whether they will be able to keep up with the competition. Personally, I believe the Nintendo Switch deserves to be called the best console ever. Of course, it's difficult to compare it to previous consoles such as the SNES or PlayStation 4, but to me, the Switch has everything right. Its innovative design, high-quality exclusives, reasonable price, and the only real drawback being its lack of third-party support.
I have no doubt that the Switch will become the biggest console of all time, just a few million sales away from the PlayStation 2's record. And if the next Switch is cross-gen, that means even more support for years to come. But even if the Switch 2 doesn't reach the same level of success, I guarantee people will still claim that Nintendo is doomed and no longer relevant. Yet, we've seen this cycle before and Nintendo always comes back with a hit console. It's just how it goes.
Now, let's talk about the Switch's graphics. As someone who isn't a fan of the console, I can't wait for it to be replaced. In my opinion, the graphics are still stuck in the '90s, just a bit brighter. And why would anyone want to play it on a TV when it has a screen? I'm not saying I hate Nintendo, I loved them as a kid. But as I've grown older, they've stayed in the same decade.
And let's not forget about the price of games. When Xbox and Sony announced an increase in game prices, people were outraged. But when Nintendo did the same, no one seemed to care. Take Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, for example. It's the same game with a slightly different story, yet they raised the price to £70. But where was the outrage? I hope Nintendo's next console will have more power and better graphics, as it's now 2024, not 1994. Otherwise, I'll pass on it.
Moving on to the topic of broken games, I commend the decision not to give Metro Awakening a review score. It's mind-boggling that publishers still release broken games and expect them to do well. Sure, it may have been rushed, but why? We still have two months until Christmas, so what's the rush? They could have waited for the game to be fixed and potentially received a good review. This constant push to release games in any state just to meet internal deadlines is short-sighted and only trains consumers to never buy a game on day one.
And finally, let's talk sales numbers. It's impressive to see the Switch's continued success, even in its "old age". If Nintendo continues to market and sell it alongside the next Switch, I can see it beating the PlayStation 2's unofficial record of 160 million sales. While the PS2 was a legendary console, its hardware sales were partially due to its DVD functionality. Meanwhile, no one bought a Switch for any reason other than games. So, in my opinion, the Switch deserves the symbolic crown.
