What does it do? (Reddit)The Thursday letters page has more complaints about Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, as a reader pits The Game Awards vs. the Oscars.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukPLEASE NOTE: We are currently preparing our content for over the Christmas period and will need a number of Readers Features, so if youve been meaning to write one but never quite got round to it we could do with as many as possible before Monday, December 23.Cast your voteTheres been so many pictures of the Switch 2 looking almost exactly like the current one I dont think any reasonable person can doubt thats what it looks like. Maybe theyre prototypes, and the final version is slightly different, but its pretty clear its not going to look like a starfish or something else weird.In a way thats a disappointment, but really its only the Wii and Switch that were radically different. The Wii U as well, to a degree, although it was an extension of the Wii and the GamePad was never used for anything interesting outside of Nintendo Land.But I do wonder if this mysterious C button does stand for cast and that it will turn the Switch into a GamePad, as well as letting you play games on the TV without using a dock. I think that would be really neat and it would allow Nintendo to have another crack at asymmetric multiplayer games and other weird uses for the screen, as the Wii U was really cut short before they got a chance.The button is very prominent, and kind of ugly, so it must be for something important. I cant believe itd be just chat.OnibeeInstant selloutSo are the next few years just going to be Xbox pretending it isnt giving up on every market except the US and, maybe, the UK? We just got a report saying sales are down 29% in America, when they were already a disaster last year, and yet were supposed to believe theyre apparently flying off the shelves in Poland?I guess if they only had a few in stock then itd be easy for them to sell out, but come on. Microsoft might be embarrassed to admit theyre giving up on the current gen already but by dragging things out and refusing to just admit whats going on all theyre doing is making themselves look bad.For anyone not locked into their ecosystem the Xbox brand looks like damaged goods at this point, why would they ever buy into it? Its not just this particular console thats got bad word of mouth, its the whole concept of Xbox and Microsoft really needs to set out a vision thats something more than streaming on your phone, because thats not going to move the needle on anyone.FocusSo-called rivalsSo in the US, Nintendo has the best and second best-selling consoles of all-time? That is some achievement. I know everyone praises their games, but I really do think Nintendo themselves are underrated sometimes, from the perspective of being the dominant force in the industry. I know sometimes they can have an off generation, but when theyre firing on all cylinders theres nobody that can stop them.Console wars are always PlayStation vs. Xbox but really it just seems that theyre a tier below Nintendo, at least since the Wii came out. A lot of people dont seem to recognise this and it kind of skews the whole way they think of the games industry. I hope the Switch 2 is a hit as well, as frankly Nintendo have earned their success a lot more than their so-called rivals.BunsenEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukBetter than the real thingSo the last week I have been playing Indiana Jones And The Great Circle. It is a fantastic adventure game and captures the feel of Indiana Jones without shoving it in your face, in my opinion. I was hesitant when they revealed it was first person but it works.The voice-acting is amazing and the story (so far) has been an entertaining Indy romp. The vistas are beautiful and lots of variety to tackle a situation. There have been a few times where you see Indys famous shadow and in those moments, you feel like Dr Jones.It is so much better than the last two films. There has been very little love for it on here so if you want a game to play over Christmas, try this! Is on Game Pass too, so whats not to like!Merry Christmas all at GC and keep up the great work.Will Thats a lot of viewers (The Game Awards)Award Ceremony of the Year awardCrazy to think more than 150 million people watched The Game Awards and yet only 19 million watch the Oscars. I think that might only be the American figure, its hard to tell, but I cant imagine its that much more worldwide, considering the time of night its on.Whatever the actual figure is, its obviously much lower than The Game Awards, which is wild to me. I know its kind of like E3 crossed with an awards ceremony but for me the thing only really became watchable this year and even then I was just putting up with it to see the next trailer.Ill be tuning in next year and I wouldnt be surprised to see the figure get to 200 million. Remember when games were only for nerds?Leto900 reasons and the console aint oneIve not long since spent 550 on a 2TB Xbox Series X special edition. It wont be long before I have a collection of 900 games across four generations, thanks to backward compatibility.I have not played the majority of these titles, or at least spent very little time on many of them, so Im heavily invested in them and also want to revisit games I have completed in the past. Ill keep buying Xbox consoles as long as Microsoft keep making them.Regarding Sony, I havent had one of their devices since the PlayStation 3. A strong motivation for getting a PlayStation 3 were the games from Japanese studios that I really enjoyed on PSN.PlayStation 4 or 5 had nothing to offer me. Im genuinely not interested in any open world game or anything that drags on significantly past 10 hours or so. I just dont have the attention span anymore. It might help if my doctor would prescribe me some ADHD medication (no joke).CharliePartys overI was so excited when the Switch was announced and couldnt wait to have rooftop gaming parties on my penthouse roof. With all the leaks suggesting Switch 2 is very similar in design I dont have that same excitement, sadly. I hoped it would be something completely different and reinvent gaming again.I can understand why Nintendo dont want to mess with a winning formula but I cant see Switch 2 being anywhere near as successful. Too many people have only just bought Switch 1 to consider upgrading. I hope theres some great games or hidden features that prove me wrong.Mark MatthewsGC: Well, we still dont know what any of the games are or what that mysterious C button does.Title mismatchI am also confused about the subtitle for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and what we were show in the reveal trailer. From what Ive read the story is about people being indoctrinated into a religion and what goes wrong from there. That matches with the name but absolutely none of that was in the trailer.The story description sounds like the usual grimdark stuff from Naughty Dog and yet the trailer was clearly mean to be a sassy Guardians Of The Galaxy type thing. Now, are they just doing that for the trailer but are they going to try and tell a serious story with that kind of atmosphere.I dont mind one or the other but I dont feel it can be both. So while I agree theres not enough information to judge the game on yet I also feel that it has not made a good impression. Its failed to properly explain its world and story and its not shown enough gameplay to get you excited about playing it.Ive also seen a lot of debate over whether the game is actually running on a PlayStation 5 or not. I have no idea about that but I wouldnt be surprised to find it only looks that good on a PS5 Pro.LemonInbox also-ransAn Alien VR game is not an obvious thing to end the year on but at least it sounds pretty good. Goodbye 2024, you were pretty awful overall but at least you had some good games!GantzSo I see that Secret Level Amazon TV show has got a 53 on Metacritic. I guess that makes Concords failure complete. What a disaster.PepperMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
