The Witcher will return (CD Projekt)The Wednesday letters page is concerned about Dragon Age: The Veilguards influence on Mass Effect 4, as a reader worries GTA 6 Trailer 2 wont be this year.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe wait beginsSo if The Witcher 4 is only entering full production now, when does that mean it will come out? High-end games nowadays take longer than five years but Im not clear whether the pre-production counts as part of that? I know theres no point being impatient at this point, because its clearly going to be a long time, but it really is mindboggling how long it takes to make a video game nowadays.The Witcher 3 will be 10 years old next year and while that makes me feel very old myself, I do hope that will be the sign for the first trailer to be released. I never really like Cyberpunk 2077, since I prefer fantasy to sci-fi, and kind of resent CD Projekt spending the last several years making and fixing it, so it feels like The Witcher 4 is very overdue to me.Im curious to play the remake of The Witcher 1 in the meantime though, as Ive never played it before. I hear its nowhere as good but Im curious to see how much it might be improved on new formats.XaneGC: You would assume at least three years more till its out, so maybe late 2027 at the very earliest. But it could easily be two or more years later than that. Some kinds of trailer is possible next year, but itd almost certainly only be pre-rendered.Add it to the listI know its just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems with Trump but everything around these tariffs sounds both stupid and incredibly worrying. We cant suddenly switch to streaming, there isnt the infrastructure for it, and it will always be inferior to playing a game locally, whether you get an unexpected broadband outage or not.It could really mess up Nintendos plans too and Im already thinking the reader that said they might be delaying a Switch 2 reveal because of it may be right. What would be even worse for the industry is if Trump tries to give Xbox a free pass because Microsoft are American, even though the hardwares still made in China.That is going to cause so much resentment and politics within the industry I dont even know what the end result would be. I bet its nothing good though.CandleLast minute updateSony suddenly changing the sales of the PlayStation 2 just as the Switch gets close is so transparent its hilarious. Its so obvious what theyre doing, but what is the point? Come to think of it I dont remember the PlayStation 2 being the best-selling console being used as a point of trivia anywhere but on games websites or forums it is not a know fact anywhere else, in my experience.Its pretty obvious Nintendo dont care as the DS came very close to beating the PlayStation 2 and if they were as petty and insecure as Sony they wouldve kept it going for a bit longer, or fudged the numbers in some way, to beat it. But they didnt, because it doesnt matter.OnibeeThe Zelda formulaPerhaps Nintendo could adopt a similar approach to Metroid as they do with Zelda. Bigger 3D titles taking their time to be released, propped up by 2D remasters or new smaller titles.Id like to see them off Samus to indie devs too, like how Cadence Of Hyrule got made. Id say offer it to Team Cherry, but Id like to see the game out this century.In the meantime, I hope the rumoured remasters of Prime 2 and 3 are announced soon and theyre as well done as 1. Itll be interesting to see if 3 retains the achievement like system and the decals for the ship.Euclidian BoxesGC: If Metroid Prime 4 does well that does seem a strong possibility, although its worth noting that Metroid Dread is the best-selling entry in the series so far.Dragon Age effectI echo concerns about the future of BioWare and Mass Effect, knowing what EA are like. They were clearly banking on Dragon Age: The Veilguard being a mega hit on the scale of Skyrim or The Witcher 3, so I dont think doing okay is going to be good enough even if it was BioWares best opening.Personally, I just dont think the game ever really had much of a selling point. It wasnt clear what it was going to do different to either other fantasy role-playing games or the last Dragon Age. It also had a stupid name and meh graphics. Thats why I didnt get it anyway. Ill get Mass Effect 4 the second it comes out though, Im just hoping it actually does.ColmOne-armed banditId always assume that when people mentioned one-handed gaming, they were being subtle about certain types of adult games. I have to say, however, I am now or have been one for around two months now.I injured my elbow, and it caused me physical pain to use a controller or keyboard, its still sore but I can play for a small amount of time now. I digress.The thought of doing nothing was honestly depressing until I was browsing my Steam library and remembered I had Age Of Empires and Grey Goo. Two excellent games that allow mouse only use.The month of nothing but real-time strategy gaming has allowed my elbow to heal to some extent and renewed my love of this somewhat neglected genre. Im looking into reacquiring Age Of Mythology, the HD update or remake or whatever theyve done to it. Command & Conquer could be after it but I didnt love 3 and the future one so I dont know if I want it.So now there are at least two types of one-handed gamers and Im not ashamed of the version I have become. Cheers to the creator of the mouse.BobwallettGC: Our favourite was always Supreme Commander, although were not sure how easy itll be with one hand as it helps to set up a lot of keyboard shortcuts.The point of no returnThe fans have certainly outdone themselves with this latest GTA 6 rumour. Its the biggest load of nonsense Ive ever heard but what did interest me is that were way past the point where Rockstar announced a trailer reveal last year. I didnt realise it was in early November.Youd have to assume that either theyre not going to do one this year or it will be at The Game Awards this time. I dont see why it would be if it wasnt last time, which means it probably will be next year? Id laugh if the Switch 2 and GTA 6 Trailer 2 debuts were in the same week in January!CushonToo late to helpRE: Soldat and Black Friday deals, the newest I bought was Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown for 17.50 on the PlayStation Store.Ive never really thought Black Friday should be for very recently released games, though. I also got the following from my wishlist within minutes of looking at the same stores deals:Subnautica: Below Zero 12Vanquish PS4 remaster 5Frostpunk 5Marvels Midnight Suns 9.75Thats five games Ive been very interested in for a total of under 50, one of which came out this year. The non-sale prices add up to 175 and they could arguably occupy all my gaming time for the next six to eight months.Factor in discounted PlayStation Store wallet top-ups from CDKeys and I got everything for 45.Although its a nice healthy range of different games, I wish I couldve justified buying them when it wouldve made more of a difference (at least for Prince Of Persia and Midnight Suns). But it continues to underline what I see as the elephant in the room when it comes to gaming content, and thats time rather than financial constraints.Even if I wont have time to play all of the above for a while, I can at least now let them jump closer to the front of my playing queue at those prices. But what does it say for the prospect of my buying anything other than a couple of the new releases Im most hyped for over the next several months?PandaGC: Its sad but Prince Of Persia and Midnight Suns were big enough failures that they gravely affected their developers. For that matter, we also worry about the current state of PlatinumGames.Inbox also-ransAll the speculation about the next God Of War setting and Santa Monica Studios rumoured sci-fi game is clearly missing the obvious answer: we are finally getting the Kratos vs. Xenu showdown weve all been waiting for. Im sure Sonys lawyers wouldnt make any attempt to veto that.TGN ProfessorJust to let people know, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is currently 2.99 in the Steam sale. How long can it go?!BLDMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
