What date is Sony aiming for? (Sony/Metro)The Monday letters page thinks the Nintendo Switch 2 games line-up may be more predictable than it seems, as one reader looks forward to the RoboCop: Rogue City follow-up.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukSecret launch titlesI see more stories about the release date of the next gen Xbox and 2026 is being talked about again as when its coming out. I guess that makes sense in terms of how bad the Xbox Series X/S is doing but I cant believe the PlayStation 6 is going to arrive so quickly.I know 2028 has been spoken about as a date in a Microsoft document, if I remember, during their Activision court case and that seems much more realistic to me. Sony isnt in nearly as much hurry as Microsoft to get things done but the PlayStation 6 has definitely peaked so 2028 seems like the logical option to me.I dont know what thats going to mean for Sonys games line-up, such as it is. Is Naughty Dogs Intergalactic game secretly a PlayStation 6 launch title? Will Wolverine be pushed back as well, to become a next gen game.Whatever happens I think we can guarantee several years of cross-gen games (i.e. PlayStation 5 and 6) once it does come out. They havent got enough games to go around now, let alone when they start trying to support a new console.GavinSame planWith all this talk about Donkey Kong, its going to be a disappointment if he doesnt have a new game out but I kind of doubt that it will be a launch game. I think Nintendo will be trying to follow the playbook from the original Switch as closely as possible, only with Mario Kart instead of Zelda, because those two things dont match up.Everything else does though, so Id expect Super Mario Donkey Kong, or whatever it is, in the autumn and Splatoon 4 before that. Probably a 1-2-Switch style tech demo at launch and then hopefully a new franchise too, equivalent to ARMS.Considering everyone says the Switch had one of the best launch line-ups ever and it was super successful it doesnt make sense to do anything different.AllegoHigher purchasePlayStation renting out consoles? Im not impressed. 11.99, I believe for a digital one if you sign up for two years. I got my Xbox Series X on launch for 18.99, if I remember correctly over, the same period. That came with two years of Game Pass and I could keep the console afterwards.Now, I know Xbox has struggled this gen but that was a day one offer when things looked more promising. That being said, I love my Xbox. I had a PlayStation 5 too but that was just to play the superb God Of War, then it was swiftly sold. Currently saving for a Switch 2.PhilGC: Youre talking about the Xbox All Access scheme, right?Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukOnce a decadeCouldnt agree more with Hammeriron. Ive played Call Of Duty from day one and for me, and a lot of my friends, they arent interested in it one bit anymore. Apart from the cheats, its always been the same. If you took any character from any Call Of Duty and dropped them into a different one you wouldnt notice any difference. Theyre all the same, just different skins.And as for companies hoping Rockstar charge 100 for GTA 6, so they can charge more, theyre bonkers. The unique thing about GTA now is it only comes out once every 10 years and In that time it has DLC all the time. With COD you get a year of free updates and two months after the last DLC theyre getting ready for a new game. Same with EA Sports charging 100.For GTA for 10 years, lets be honest, its a bargain, but companies hoping theyre able to jack up the price as well are out of their mind. I think publishers need two realise GTA is a class of its own and, lets be honest, other games just arent.DavidDouble upRoboCop: Rogue City was great, so I am definitely looking forward to a sequel/expansion, whatever it is. For me it is the best example of a so-called double-A game. A lot of the examples Ive seen before just look like cheap, low tech versions of something that already exists, but Rogue City looked great (for the most part, the human characters werent great) and it was using a licence that no one would spend a big budget on.The end result was a great adaption of the movies and also kind of weird and interesting too, because it could afford to take some unexpected directions and not have execs complaining that youre wasting hundreds of millions in budget. I assume its a success if its getting a follow-up, so I hope other companies go in the same direction.NilssonNormal behaviourIm playing through Aliens: Dark Descent and I like to check my trophies to see the percentage of people whove got them and all of the trophies on this game are rare.It seems a common theme on loads of games I play, where I pick up basic story progression trophies and its on like max 40%. I have a bad habit of starting games and coming back to them months later, but I cant imagine that being the norm I guess people just buy games and dont play them!Its bizarre.SimonPS: Im guessing you have seen the Alien Earth stuff and there is a Predator clicking on the latest releases. Im trying not to get my hopes up but the director of Romulus said how he would like to make it an Aliens Vs. Predator without advertising it, so Im hoping. Oh well, Im expecting to be massively disappointed in the summer! Anyway, keep up the good work always enjoy your stuff.GC: Thanks. Although when it comes to finishing games, that is the norm. Most people dont finish most games.Tom Clancys Call of DutySo the best tactical shooter of all time has been wasted by the franchise. We need Rainbow Six Vegas back. Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 were the greatest tactical, competitive shooters of all time. SOCOM was good too.Call Of Duty, etc. are just run and gun scrub games. We need to bring back the old glory days of competitive gaming. Even older Rainbow Six games trump current Call Of Duties.ShaneUnfriendly rivalriesI too feel nostalgia for the old days of the Mega Drive vs. SNES and Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3. They were the two best console wars, in my opinion, for the reason the Readers Feature said: they brought out the best in both sides and everyone benefitted from the result.I guess console wars arent really a good thing in theory, but they seem to me like conspiracy theories. Remember when they actually used to be fun, even though they were nonsense, around the time The X-Files was big? Nowadays people actually believe the stuff and innocent people are being hurt because of it.Its probably the internets fault. Even in the Xbox 360 days it was a lot more basic back then and smartphones werent really a thing until the generation was almost over. Nowadays everyones complaining about everyone and everything 24 hours a day, so its no surprise things have got nastier and more serious.We still need healthy competition in order to push companies to do their best, but I think weve gone past the point at which we can have friendly rivalries anymore. People just havent got the mentality anymore, to not like something and to also not want to destroy it utterly.BensonInbox also-ransFor the reader praising Wreckfest and looking forward to the sequel, Id recommend Trail Out as a fantastic game while waiting. I got it for 12 recently and its excellent. Very similar in some ways but enough of its own identity thrown in too. Very good.PugmartinThat news about Chinese players being half of Steam was a bit of an eye-opener for me. I had no idea it was that many. Heck, I didnt know they even used Steam, I wouldve assumed they had their own alternative.TacleMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
