Is there more than one of them? (YouTube)The Thursday letters page isnt sure what to think about PlayStations new leadership, as a reader asks whether Silent Hill 2 has been a success.To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.ukModel collectionAs many have said, we currently still know very little about the Nintendo Switch 2. At the very minimum we have no idea what the extra button does but for all we know there could be other secrets of the hardware. But it occurred to me that no ones asking a fairly obvious question: is the console the only model?I dont think Nintendo has ever offered two versions of a console at launch before, but theres a first time for everything. Maybe the dubious success of the Xbox Series X/S will put them off but since the console is very similar, in looks at least, to the original maybe they want to make it seem more different by having more hardware options?The obvious one is the model we saw and a Switch 2 Lite from the start, but I know fans would welcome an OLED version or one that had a more powerful dock that could increase the frame rate and resolution. Too many options? Perhaps, but we dont actually know for sure Nintendo isnt planning something like that.BelfrySilent successI see that the Silent Hill 2 remake has sold over two million copies now which seems okay? Not that great? Im not really sure. It certainly doesnt sound like a blockbuster but hopefully Konami is happy with it. Ive no idea what they were expecting but since we only rarely get sales figures, how are we to judge these things?I am a little wary that weve not heard of Silent Hill f in a long time, as that always looked like the best one, before we knew the remake was actually good.I especially hope this doesnt put Konami off games in general. Weve got the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake coming up, but I dont know how thats going to go over with new players. I just wish theyd get a move on and make a new Castlevania, it seems crazy that weve not had a peep about that in decade or more.If I was going to be optimistic Id say that the Switch 2 reveal would be a good thing to hold that back for, but thats probably me clutching at straws.AndyGC: One million sales is generally considered the minimum for a triple-A to be considered a minor hit, although naturally thats dependent on the budget. We dont imagine Silent Hill 2 was that expensive so two million is okay and more than the original managed.The perfect balanceSo, PlayStation leadership has changed again and now its some guy that weve never seen talk in public and no one seems quite sure what he does. I cant say I like the look of that Hermen Hulst guy but Im not sure some anonymous suit is any better.For me the perfect games company boss was Nintendo Satoru Iwata. He was a sensible grey-suited businessman, who seemed to know what he was doing and wasnt constantly spouting his mouth off, like a certain Xbox boss I could mention. But he also had a sense of humour and would appear in videos and everyone seemed to like him.He was serious in his work but approachable and seemed to genuinely love games and the people that make them without having to constantly be pretending he was down with the kids. The perfect balance. So sad he left us too soon.LutherEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukConsole endgameTheres something almost poetic about the fact that in order to become the biggest games company in the world Microsoft had to give up any hope of ever outselling the PlayStation. What was it Thanos was told? In order to take the stone, you must lose that which you love.Microsoft are number one but theyre really just Activision with the logo rubbed out. Nothing wrong with that but I dont know anyone that would claim to be a fan of Activision, just Call Of Duty. So I dont know how much fan loyalty Microsoft can count on in the future.I do agree their recent Developer Direct was good but Im pessimistic enough to think this current altruism wont last. As soon as the bean counters realise that none of these more arty games are selling theyll soon put a stop to it. They may not even have greenlit them in the first place, if theyd known what we now know three or four years ago, when these games were first started.FocusSign of successPeople paying 800+ for tickets to play the Nintendo Switch 2 early, even though its a scam? Yeah, this this console is going to be big. And Im glad of it. Im not necessarily the biggest Nintendo fan but theyve earned the good will by sitting down, shutting up, and just releasing lots of good games.Thats why youve seen attitudes to Xbox mellow a lot in the last week or so. Have a good Direct with interesting looking games and no Phil Spencer and suddenly people are feeling a lot more positive about the format.PlayStations turnaround would be even faster, because people want to like them and support them, but Im not sure what to think about the new CEO. Except itll probably change nothing.BootlesWaved offIf Nintendo really is planning one last big fanservice game for the Switch (I doubt they are, to be honest, but lets roll with the idea) my choice would be Wave Race 64. I am still astonished by that game and how nothing since, despite the massive improvements in graphics, has ever felt so real and exciting.Even just the GameCube sequel was quite a big step up in visuals, but the game was nowhere near as fun as the original. I really dont know why and the fact that its never been equalled or bettered suggests nobody else does either. Id love to see Nintendo give it another go, although I doubt its anywhere near the top of their list of things to do, even as a farewell gift.Its interesting how at the time the game was more a tech demo than anything there was certainly nothing like it on the PlayStation but you dont really get that anymore.I guess nobody wants to pay 70 for a short and sweet tech demo, although as I remember at the time N64 carts were 50 or more, so like a reader said the other day, things havent really changed that much. Wave Race 64 certainly hasnt, its just too good.LawsonStock alertJust a quick message to say that a couple of rare amiibo are in stock on the UK Nintendo Store. Joker from the Persona games and Jigglypuff from Pokmon.Andrew J.PS: I wanted to get Legacy Of Kain on standard physical PlayStation 5 but they sold out completely. They have got stock of the Collectors Edition still but they are $150 plus postage and tax on Limited Run Games! I dont know why they did not print more of the standard edition for PlayStation 5, Switch, Xbox, and PC because they would have made a lot of money. None of the collectors versions for all those platforms have sold out, but the standard has sold out for all platforms.There is no I in teamIts interesting to me that there are so many different indie studios that have ex-BioWare and ex-Bungie staff (seriously, sometimes it seems like theres half a dozen for each) and yet none of them ever seem to amount to anything. There are others too, from big companies like Blizzard and CD Projekt, but Im not aware of any of them having any great success.Maybe theyre just all unlucky but I think this shows that its never about the individual but about the people. It often seems a shame that the games industry doesnt really have any famous developers, like there would be in movie or music, but on the other hand I think its probably unfair to pick out one person when its clearly the whole team that makes the magic. And when it changes even just a little bit then suddenly the game quality changes drastically.Thats why I have a lot more faith in something like Hideki Kamiyas new studio, because its staffed by mostly ex-Platinum people not just him and a bunch of strangers. But even then, its still not exactly the same team so I dont think you can expect the same results.I dont think there are many non-indie games made nowadays by less than 50 people and it often takes much more, so the idea that one person is influential enough that they can be given the majority of credit for it seems unfair to me.CrantonInbox also-ransI would happily shop at a Supermarket Mario. I imagine the shopping karts must be extra special.RozIf Nintendo manage to make real-time strategy games a hit again, by having their controllers work like mice, I promise I will buy every console model they ever make, just to reward them!CalzoneMore TrendingEmail your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.ukThe small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
