What will Rockstar do after releasing GTA 6? This question has sparked discussions on the Friday letters page, with readers speculating about potential delays and expressing their excitement for the upcoming game. One reader even shared their hopes for a surprise reveal of Resident Evil 9 at The Game Awards.
I couldn't help but agree with the reader who mentioned missing the days when Rockstar would release smaller games in between their big hits. It's hard to predict what the company has planned for after GTA 6, but one thing is for sure - it's not going to be a smaller, experimental game. Or will it?
With the amount of money GTA 6 is expected to make, it's almost unimaginable for Rockstar to not be tempted to do something unexpected and bizarre. After all, their team will have financial security for life. On the other hand, they could also choose to immediately start working on Red Dead Redemption 3, but the thought of another five years or more spent on a similar game may not be appealing.
But then again, what do we really know about game development? As time goes by, it seems like understanding the process becomes more and more of a mystery. Spending years on the same game, not knowing if it will turn out well, must be nerve-wracking for the team. However, I have no doubt that GTA 6 will be worth the wait, even though it's not your average game. It's bound to be a challenging and stressful project for Rockstar.
Moving on to other topics, one reader expressed their lack of trust in executives, especially those at publishers like Take-Two, when it comes to release dates. They believe that until something is officially announced, it's all just speculation. But with the release of new trailers, we will finally have concrete information about GTA 6's release date.
Speaking of new game releases, another reader shared their excitement for a potential reveal of Resident Evil 9 at The Game Awards. As a fan of the franchise, they're eagerly anticipating the return of third-person gameplay and the introduction of familiar faces. They also wouldn't mind seeing a more sci-fi element to balance out the fantasy of Resident Evil Village.
Moving on to other games, one reader questioned the direction Konami is taking with their Metal Gear Solid remakes. While they enjoyed Silent Hill 2, they doubt that the company can recreate the same success without Hideo Kojima. They also believe that Konami's top priority should be a new Castlevania game, given the franchise's popularity and long overdue release.
Shifting gears to Bethesda, one reader expressed their love for Skyrim and questioned why later games from the company haven't lived up to its success. Despite the team still having some of the original members, they believe that Bethesda's success may have gotten to their heads, causing them to be stuck in 2011 while the rest of the world has moved on.
Lastly, one reader shared their thoughts on the recently released PS5 Pro. While initial reactions were mixed, they believe that the negative perception was due to the presentation and compressed videos. With the potential for improved resolution and framerate, the PS5 Pro is shaping up to be a promising console.
Have you ever wondered what Rockstar will do after the release of GTA 6? I was reading the Friday letters page and it seems like the readers are still skeptical about the possibility of a delay. One reader even mentioned their excitement for a potential reveal of Resident Evil 9. If you want to join in on the discussion, you can email us at the provided email address.
Personally, I can't help but agree with the reader who mentioned missing the days when Rockstar would release smaller games in between their bigger titles. But who knows what they have planned for after GTA 6? Will it be another massive game or something more experimental? Maybe both? One thing is for sure, GTA 6 is going to bring in a lot of money for Rockstar. But with that much success, maybe they'll take a chance and do something unexpected. Or maybe they'll just start working on Red Dead Redemption 3 right away. I can only imagine the pressure and stress that comes with spending years working on the same game and not knowing if it will live up to expectations. It must be nerve-wracking.
Speaking of not trusting anyone, I don't really have much faith in executives, especially those at companies like Take-Two. Sure, they're not supposed to lie about financial matters, but at this stage, they can pretty much say anything they want. And if there is a delay, they can just say something changed. But let's not jump to conclusions. We'll have to wait for the trailers for any concrete information. And if the next one doesn't reveal a release date, I won't believe anything Take-Two says.
On a different note, I know it's not wise to get my hopes up without any evidence, but I am really hoping for a Resident Evil 9 reveal at The Game Awards. I haven't been a fan of the other horror games released this year, and it feels like it's been a long time since Village. Even Resident Evil 4, which I know is not that old, feels like a distant memory. I guess you could say I'm addicted to the franchise. I would love to see a return to the third-person perspective and some familiar faces. Personally, I think Jill should take the lead this time. It's been a while since her last appearance, and let's be real, her remake was not the best.
Moving on, let's talk about Metal Gear Solid. While Silent Hill 2 might have been a success, I'm not sure where Konami is going with their Metal Gear Solid remakes. It doesn't seem likely that they'll tackle all the games in chronological order. After Snake Eater, there are two portable games before they get to Metal Gear Solid 5. And Metal Gear Solid 1 would be the eighth game on the list. Maybe they'll just mix things up and release remakes in a random order, or maybe Snake Eater will be the only one. Personally, I don't see the point in making a Metal Gear game without Hideo Kojima. And I'm not even sure they should attempt to make a new Silent Hill. In my opinion, Konami's top priority should be a new Castlevania. It's been way too long since the last game, and with the success of the Netflix show and crossovers, it's about time for a new installment.
Now, let's take a moment to appreciate Skyrim. Despite the recent criticism towards Bethesda games, Skyrim remains a beloved classic. Some may argue that the decline in quality is due to the departure of key developers, but that doesn't seem to be the case for Bethesda. After checking Wikipedia, I found out that all three of Skyrim's designers also worked on the game itself. So what went wrong? In my opinion, the game's overwhelming success may have been a contributing factor. Perhaps they started to believe their own hype a bit too much and got stuck in 2011 while the rest of the world moved on. I can only hope that the mixed response to Starfield will help them realize this and make necessary changes.
Lastly, let's talk about the PS5 Pro. It seems like it's turning out to be a pretty impressive piece of equipment. The initial lack of excitement may have been due to the choice of games showcased during the presentation and the fact that it's hard to showcase resolution and framerate improvements through compressed YouTube videos. But from what I gather, it's definitely worth considering.
