As we await the official announcement of the PlayStation 6, which is likely to happen in the next month or so, it seems like Sony is following in Microsoft's footsteps by already revealing their next console.

Many may argue that it's too soon, but that seems to be the consensus among most people. Despite the success of the PlayStation 5, it begs the question of what the legacy of this console will be. Personally, I believe that the PlayStation 4 was Sony's best console yet, thanks to its impressive lineup of games.

I would give it a solid 9/10. But what about the PlayStation 5? For me, it falls short at a 5/10, possibly even lower.

While there have been some great games for the console, it feels like Sony hasn't had much involvement with them and many could have easily been released for the PlayStation 4. Am I being too harsh? I'm curious to hear what other readers think, as I realize that's quite a drop from my rating for the PlayStation 4.

Moving on to a different topic, I recently watched The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and I have a hard time believing that there won't be a Smash Bros. film in the works. Without giving any spoilers, let's just say that the Fox McCloud cameo was not the only surprise appearance.

I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of time devoted to Star Fox in the movie. It seems like they are building up to a new game reveal, which I have no complaints about. Overall, the film was enjoyable for kids and fans of Nintendo.

The plot was simple, but I was pleased to see all the characters getting their chance to shine, despite there being more heroes than in the first movie. My kids absolutely loved it. As for the potential of a PlayStation 6 handheld, it sounds like a great idea.

However, I have my doubts that Sony will create exclusive games for it, which means we would only be playing the same games as the home console version. While some may enjoy this, I personally don't see the appeal. I don't feel the need to play games on the go and would rather set up a TV if I want to play in bed.

Am I the only one who prefers games specifically made for a handheld device? That seemed to be the case for the PSP and PS Vita. On a different note, as a fighting game fan, I have been enjoying Street Fighter 6 and the recent release of Virtua Fighter 5 on the Switch 2.

However, I have noticed that when playing in handheld mode, the Joy-Con's L and R buttons are too easy to accidentally hit, resulting in incorrect moves during a match. The design of these buttons, extending around the side of the Joy-Con, often leads to input errors. Am I the only one experiencing this?

While using a Pro Controller in desktop mode is a workaround, it would be nice to be able to play in handheld mode without any issues. Have any other readers experienced this? I was intrigued by GC's comment about the second half of Resident Evil games often being the worst.

It got me thinking and I realized that it's true! The underground laboratory setting in most games takes away from the gothic horror atmosphere that is present in the first half. I was hoping that Village would avoid this, but unfortunately it fell short for me.

It was just okay throughout. Lastly, it seems like The Lord of the Rings franchise is going through its own version of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. There's the upcoming Amazon series, the not-so-exciting Hunt for Gollum movie, and countless video games that have been released since the movies came out.

Now, there are rumors of a Tomb Raider-style game in the works, which doesn't seem like the best fit for this franchise. In terms of action, the epic battles on a grand scale are what stand out from the films, not the individual fights. A Lord of the Rings game should focus on strategy and dialogue, not trying to imitate popular games.

What do you think?" How would you rate the PS5? On the Thursday letters page, initial fan reactions to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie were featured. One reader expressed annoyance that Sora and Pragmata were being released at the same time.

Review in progress: It's safe to say that it won't be long until Sony officially announces the PlayStation 6, following in the footsteps of Microsoft's announcement for the Xbox.

I won't bother stating the obvious, as I believe most people share the same sentiment that it may be too soon for a new console. With the PlayStation 5 still selling well, it does beg the question of what the legacy of this console will be. Personally, I believe that the PlayStation 4 was Sony's best console, with its impressive lineup of games.

Therefore, I would give it a solid 9/10 rating. But what about the PlayStation 5? For me, it falls short with a rating of no more than 5/10, possibly even lower.

While there have been some great games released for it, Sony hasn't had much to do with most of them and they seem more like PlayStation 4 games rather than something new and innovative. Am I being too harsh? I am curious to know what other readers think, as I realize this is quite a drop in my rating.

film in the works. I won't spoil anything, but let's just say that the Fox McCloud cameo wasn't the only surprise. I was surprised by the amount of focus on Star Fox, and it seems like a new game reveal may be in the works.

However, I have no complaints about this as I enjoyed the film, especially as a fan of Nintendo. While the story may be basic, all the characters had their chance to shine, even with the large number of heroes present. My kids loved it as well.

Portable games for portable consoles: The idea of a PlayStation 6 handheld may sound appealing, but I doubt Sony will create exclusive games for it. This means that we would only be playing the same games as the ones on the home console. While some people may like this, I fail to see the appeal.

I'm not so desperate to play games on the train, and if I'm in bed, it's not much effort to set up a TV. Am I the only one who prefers games made specifically for a handheld console? This was the case with the PSP and PS Vita.

Out of control: As a fighting game fan, I have been enjoying Street Fighter 6 and the recent release of Virtua Fighter 5 on the Switch 2. However, when playing in handheld mode, I find the Joy-Cons, especially the L and R buttons, too easy to accidentally hit and cause the wrong move to come out during a match. The design of the L and R buttons, extending round the side of the Joy-Con, leads to frequent input mistakes.

Am I the only one experiencing this issue? While Nintendo may celebrate this design choice, it has removed the option of handheld play for me with some games. Using a Pro Controller in desktop mode is a workaround, but it would be nice to be able to pick up and play in my hands sometimes.

Has GC encountered this issue as well? A game of two halves: I don't think there has been a backlash for Resident Evil Requiem, as it is a good game. However, I do believe that it has been overrated and the fact that it gets progressively worse as you play is quite disappointing.

It's interesting to note that GC mentioned how the second half of Resident Evil games tends to be the weakest. This seems to be a pattern, with most of the time involving some sort of underground laboratory, which takes away from the gothic horror aspect. Even with Village, where they attempted to avoid this, it still fell short as an okay game throughout.

Ring out: It seems like The Lord of the Rings is going through its own version of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, with an abundance of content being churned out in desperation. This includes the upcoming Amazon series, the uninteresting sounding Hunt for Gollum movie, and almost every video game released since the movies came out. Now, there are rumors of the Tomb Raider creators working on a game, most likely an action game since that is all they have done in the past.

A Lord of the Rings game should focus on strategy and dialogue, rather than trying to replicate the success of games like Dark Souls. The epic battles on a large scale were the most memorable aspect of the films, not the one-on-one combat. It's clear that the rights to The Lord of the Rings are being exploited for profit rather than creating quality content.
