Hey there fellow gamers, have you heard about the new Assassin's Creed game? It's called Shadows and some are saying it's even better than Ghost Of Yōtei! In this week's letters page, we'll also be discussing the excitement surrounding Forza Horizon 6, set in Japan, and a fan's skeptical view on the newly announced Deus Ex remaster.

First up, we have a fantastic review of Ghost Of Yōtei by GC. It seems like many expected it to be well-received, considering it's similar to Ghost Of Tsushima. While it's undeniably well-made, some say it's just a combination of old ideas from other games. It's still an enjoyable game, but it may not be anything groundbreaking.

GC also mentions the interesting fact that the game may not be true to its Japanese roots. So, which game would be considered the best samurai game from Japan? And what about the best overall? It's tough to say, but some may argue that Assassin's Creed Shadows takes the top spot, although Ghost Of Yōtei is a close contender. As for the best Japanese-made game, Rise Of The Rōnin stands out, even though it's not perfect. Most Japanese games tend to incorporate fantastical elements, but Way Of The Samurai is known for its realism. And let's not forget Like A Dragon: Ishin!, which has a similar style to early Yakuza games.

Next, we have a reader who is not a fan of the idea of a PS5 Pro. They wouldn't pay a penny more for it, and they believe it shouldn't even exist. The thought of a better version of the console being available, but at a ridiculously high price, doesn't sit well with them. They also express frustration at the fact that Sony released the PS4 Pro later on, forcing people to double dip. Microsoft, on the other hand, didn't follow suit because the Xbox isn't as popular, but the idea of a mid-generation upgrade is still not ideal. Some may argue that the point of consoles is to have a fixed system that everyone experiences in the same way, and the introduction of the Xbox Series S goes against this principle. It's no wonder that kids aren't as interested in consoles nowadays, with companies trying to squeeze as much money out of consumers as possible.

Moving on, let's talk about the Tokyo Game Show. While it may not be as big as it used to be, we've been seeing a lot of Japanese-related games and news lately, and that's something to appreciate. However, it's a shame that Forza Horizon 6, set in Japan, is not being developed by a Japanese company. It would be great to see Japanese publishers have the resources to create games on a similar scale, like Ghost Of Yōtei, instead of relying on Western developers.

One reader shares their thoughts on the Deus Ex remaster, stating that while it's one of their all-time favorites, they're not completely sold on it yet. They argue that the graphics weren't top-notch even when it was first released, and the upscale models and textures in the remaster don't seem to make much of a difference. They also mention that there are fan mods that have already done the same thing. The selling point of the original game was its huge, open levels and multiple ways to complete objectives, which may have been a novelty at the time but is now common in games. The reader believes a full remake would have been better, but it's understandable that it would be a significant investment for the publisher, considering the limited appeal of the game. However, for those curious about the game that defined the future of gaming 25 years ago, the original is still readily available at a low price.

Last but not least, a reader shares their experience playing Silent Hill f, and they're impressed with the game so far. They've encountered the scene mentioned in GC's review and were blown away. While they acknowledge the issues with combat, they think it adds to the tension of the game. They hope to give Hinako a happy ending, although knowing how Silent Hill games can be, it may not be possible. They conclude by saying that it's a fantastic game that they won't forget about anytime soon.
